Book Learning

Learning by reading books is utterly worthless unless it is used and verified with variegated experiences in life. Only then can it begin to affect our power to think. It is the love of life that educates. Outside academic wall, books have been and still are the only kind of teachers and professors that I could love and respect. All my teachers in school were frightened of divinity, if not terrorized by deviltry. Thus, they only taught me how to have faith in mediocrity, and how to love and respect religious mendacity that's always in cahoots with hypocrisy. Poch Suzara

Morality

Our moral values are based more upon garbage than it should be upon real human values. Morality should solely be about alleviating human suffering, and eliminating human poverty, and indeed, about establishing a healthy and a sane society where we love, not hate, one another for our country’s sake.

Morality is silly if its purpose is to please a mysterious divinity. In brief, morality is a necessity for the good of society established with scientific veracity, not with silly religious mendacity. Poch Suzara

Misology and Theology

Misology – the hatred of reason – is a great evil. Misology is no different from theology – another great evil. Theology hates reason especially as reason promotes the beauty and the power of thought. Poch Suzara

Frank Sinatra

Most people have only thought of Frank Sinatra as just a great and a famous singer. Only the esoteric few knew that he was fearless thinker too. Listen to the words not of someone who kneels, who didn’t have to take the blows, but nevertheless did it his way:

"There are things about organized religion which I resent. Christ is revered as the Prince of Peace, but more blood has been shed in His name than any other figure in history. You show me one step forward in the name of religion and I'll show you a hundred retrogressions. Remember, they were men of God who destroyed the educational treasures at Alexandria, who perpetrated the Inquisition in Spain, who burned the witches at Salem. Over 25,000 organized religions flourish on this planet, but the followers of each think all the others are miserably misguided and probably evil as well." Frank Sinatra, Playboy Magazine, Feb. 1962

If only the other famous singers of our world possessed the intellectual calibre of a Frank Sinatra – ours, indeed, would be a healthy and a peaceful world.

“Frank, wherever you are, I love you. Thank you for having been in our world a great example of a melodious and harmonious grace for the human race.” Poch Suzara

Jose Rizal

Rizal stood by himself alone in his struggles against religious stupidity in our country. A group of religious morons, however, the Spanish friars, got Rizal arrested and jailed to face death by firing squad.

With Rizal dead and gone - out of way, the Spanish friars could then insure that religious stupidity could remain as one of the greatest of blessings from divinity perpetually enjoyed in this only Christian country.

Indeed, take a deep look at us Filipinos in the Philippines in this 21st century. Look how we enjoy with blind faith our love for God up there by hating one another down here! Poch Suzara

Ninoy Aquino

He said: “The Filipino is worth dying for.” Do any of you really believe that Ninoy Aquino now in heaven with God is so proud and eternally happy of the fact that the Filipino proved him right? The Filipino killed him.

In the meantime, I am told my own own friends and relatives and other associates that I should not refer to ourselves as a nation of religious morons. Poch Suzara

The Power of Universal Stupidity

In God’s kingdom is the power of love. In the devil’s kingdom is the power of hate. In man’s kingdom is the power of fear. Combine inextricably the three kingdoms and they all add up to the kingdom of universal stupidity.

To think that for thousands of years science had to painfully struggle against religion for its right to be born, to grow, and to develop and mature. And to think further that in this 21st century, the religious victims here and there are using radio, television, internet, and the mobile phone – all miraculous products of science - to preach the Word of God to fellow religious victims everywhere. Poch Suzara

Life After Death

To pretend that we will happy or unhappy after the death of the body is to pretend that we will be able to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to taste with a palate, to smell with a nose, and to feel without hands and without skin, and especially to think without a brain.

There is obviously no such thing as life in the hereafter. To begin with, it is not possible since there is no such thing as life in the herebefore. Poch Suzara

World Peace

Fucking around with religion is much more fun than fucking around with women. There are no deadly consequences in fucking around with religion. There are no unwanted or unloved babies born only to survive miserably under subhuman conditions.

World peace can only be the basic product of children born loved, wanted, and needed under health and sanitation that insures peace on earth and goodwill to all men, women, and children. Poch Suzara

Synagogue of Satan

When I was a little boy in school I was frightened to believed in the existence of the synagogue of Satan. Rev. 2:9. I imagined then how sane our world could be if we were all taught to fear not the synagogue of Satanism, but to love instead the synagogue of humanism! Poch Suzara

Million Deaths

Millions of people are killed each and every year in God’s name, or Allah’s name, or Yahweh’s name. Now my friends and associates are shocked because I consider such sacred horrors as another word for “love of God” syndrome. Poch Suzara

Bible Untruths

It does not matter if there were truths and falsehoods written in the bible? The important issue is who is to determine which among the inspired authors of God dealt with falsehoods while writing biblical nonsense in the bible?

In the meantime, if God were all that almighty, why would he need to inspire bible characters to preach the gospel to all nations? well, if God were all that powerful, how come only the Philippines got to be the victim, not the master, of Christianity in all of Asia? Poch Suzara

Galileo

In 1983 the Vatican indeed apologized to Galileo for being right and the church wrong in that 17th century dispute. Indeed, the earth goes around the sun, and not the sun going round the earth. But if Galileo was right why should the bible readers still have faith in the bible incredibility as worthy of reliability or veracity? Poch Suzara

I thank

I thank the inventors, the discoverers, the scientists, the explorers, the philosophers and freethinkers of this world.

As for the bible writers – they can all fly a kite. So what if Jonah was swallowed by a whale? Where in the bible does it admit that the whale was inspired by God to swallow Jonah? Poch Suzara

Hinduism

I have every respect for Hinduism. She has no dogma, no pigma, and no hogma. Indeed, no creeds or doctrines. Hence no spirit of missionary imperialism in cahoots with capitalism especially the kind more known throughout the world as Americanism.
Moreover, I love Hinduism because she taught me to believe that even as I am an atheist, there is always the god in me. Wow, such honor! Poch Suzara

Various Gods

The Chinese have their own God. The Indians have their own God. The Japanese have their own God. The Jews have their own God. The Arabs have their own God, etc. Except the Pinoys. We have yet to have our own God. We have been conquered and colonized, however, to believe in the God of the bible – a book written during ancient times by the superstitious morons of other foreign places. Poch Suzara

Christianity

Christianity has always persecuted the living and God has always burned her dead.
Christianity may be described as the spread of sacred timidity as inspired by a divinity always in cahoots with deviltry for the sake of social insanity, not to mention political stupidity in the Philippines, eternally. Poch Suzara

Rizal

We love Rizal; but we love even more the religious morons who had Rizal arrested, jailed, and executed more than a hundred years ago. Hell, we even allowed the Rizal killers to take ownership of our schools, colleges, and universities. Especially to teach the Filipino youth to believe that Rizal died a repented Catholic as he retracted hours before the power of theocracy condemned him to death. That’s how sick we Filipinos are as the Sick Man of Asia in this 21st century. Poch Suzara

Worthless Evidence

You may have all the evidences to prove the case against the evils of religion. Such evidences, however, are utterly worthless to a blind man blinded by blind faith. Indeed, what can one expect of a blind man going inside a dark room looking for a black cat that is not there, but found it. Poch Suzara

The Pope

The pope asks the religions of this world to fight terrorism. Indeed, let us fight religion – the worst kind of terrorism. What could be more terrorizing than to twist and distort the minds and hearts of children in school to believe that there is a better world to come after death; and that while we are on this earth to believe also that God does provide because He has a never-ending love and grace for the human race.
