Man

Man invented divinity. That is why divinity is a shallow mystery. The real nature of man is a wider perplexity, if not a deeper complexity, especially at promoting, perpetually, human stupidity. Poch Suzara

Afraid of Death

Those who are afraid to die are afraid to live. Those who are afraid to live need God.
To believe, however, that after death we can still be afraid or, as the case may be, - be unafraid, is to pretend that we can still be able to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to taste without a palate, to smell without nose, to feel without hands or skin, and indeed, that we shall still be able to think with our brain already rotting away in a Catholic cemetery.

“The good life,” Bertrand Russell wrote, “is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.” To me, in my simplicity, as I am approaching my own death, I can only say to the laws of nature: “Go ahead, kill me, and when you do, rest assured, I will die standing up with my self-respect and dignity, and not kneeling ashamed of my sense of humanity.” Poch Suzara

Fear of the Lord

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Prov. 1:7. On the contrary, fear is beginning of timidity. As to why a Lord would have this desperate need to be feared by any one only makes him utterly unworthy as a Lord to begin with. For my part, I once knew a Lord. I never feared him. Unlike my silly teachers in school, he never threatened me. In fact, I never even met this Lord personally. But I have learned to love him and still do love him as he saved not my silly soul, but saved, instead, my precious mind. I read most of his delicious writings and I still have his books as my bedside companion. His name: Lord Bertrand Russell. Oh yes, much better and more exciting than sexual protoplasm is intellectual orgasm. There is nothing quite like in all of nature. Poch Suzara Twitter@ Google# Atheist# Facebook#

The Devil

I take my hat off to the devil. He didn’t have to impregnate a virgin to produce a son on this earth to be crucified on a wooden stick in order for him to win millions of damned wet souls to quench the fires of hell. Indeed, the same hell that God originally created for the devil and his Fallen Angels all gifted too with free will, not to mention the most ticklish part of this divine creation - God gifted as well all the Talking Serpent to freely bring down one of our own kind - Adam and Eve - our first parents

I said it before, I say it again: Fuck divinity. Fuck deviltry. Fuck the Talking Serpent. Fuck FREE WILL. Poch Suzara

Earning a Living

Go to any school, college, or university in the Philippines – none will explore with you what it is precisely that in life you creatively enjoy doing. Indeed, the tragedy in most men’s life is not earning a living at precisely what they creatively already enjoy doing. Poch Suzara

Motherhood

Most women are ignorant enough not to realize that motherhood takes years of grade school, high school, and college to prepare. Every woman, regardless of her age, social class, academic achievement needs to know that to bring forth a child into this world is a serious responsibility, especially for fatherhood under the guidance of a decent nationhood. Poch Suzara

The Religious Morons

The religious morons would readily notice that more and more women are getting pregnant in our poor and sick society. They hardly care to notice also that 3 babies are born every minute of the day or 1.5 million babies are born every year in our country. These babies are the result of corruption by would-be mothers and would-be fathers who hardly have any idea of what it means to raise and educate children in our sick and corrupt world. Of course, we have been frightened to call it “faith in God;” though in reality, it is really having faith in “blind faith.” Poch Suzara

Loved Children

Loved children born into this world have better chances of promoting peace on earth and goodwill to all men. Otherwise, unloved children will be among the best recruits for the army and navy and the air force of most countries, especially that of the military organization of the United States of America. Poch Suzara

Christian Beliefs

According to a Christian belief I was once dead in my mother’s womb. God, however, gave me life so that I could be born alive in this world. Later, however, God will put me back to death so that I can, again, have life in heaven with God; or, as the case may be, be in hell with the devil. Free will is a myth. Poch Suzara

Jesus and Death

Just before he resurrected Lazarus, Jesus likened death to sleep.—John 11:11-14. Which brings up another question, if Jesus best friend Lazarus was going to enjoy eternal happiness with God in a perfect place called heaven, for Christ’ sake, why bring him back to a rotten life of sin in this rotten world?

In the meantime, the same bible clearly admits: “For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward for the memory of them is forgotten.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Poch Suzara

The Poor

The priesthood industry continue to insist that “God loves the poor.” That even the Son of God Jesus chose to be born poor in a poor family of a poor village because His father loves poverty. Of course Jesus was a poor man. He never earned a living. He never worked in his life. Moreover, Jesus failed to provide knowledge so much need by man to enable him to shape his course through work to achieve a healthy and a wealthy life. Jesus never explained constructive relations between employer and employee, nor how to educate children, nor how to preserve health, nor how to earn a living, nor how to prevent war, poverty, and suffering. Indeed, Jesus neglected to instruct his listeners on how to live creatively and happily. His knowledge of the world was less than that of a high school expelled student out of De La Salle Univrsity in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Jesus

Jesus, on the cross, cried out: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34

To think that this is the same Father of Jesus who never legally married his mother. Jesus was not a legitimate son. His own Mother of God did not know what she was doing. Poch Suzara

Causes

All kinds of causes are submitted to explain why Filipinos are still wallowing in poverty as a people; and the Philippines still economically way behind as a nation. No one seems to have the guts nor the gumption to openly and publicly declare the truth except yours truly. I said it before, I say it again: Poverty in the Philippines is simply due to, if not because of, one great evil – “Christianity.” Poverty comes from poor minds and poor hearts. Christianity has always dominated the Filipino mind and the Filipino heart. Indeed, according to Christian values and beliefs, the Filipinos are better off poor and suffering and malnourished in this life. In this way, we Filipinos could be rich and happy and well-nourished in the life after death with God in heaven. Poch Suzara

Rizal wrote:

“Where are the youth who will consecrate their golden hours, their dreams, and their enthusiasm to the welfare of their native land? Where are the youth who will generously pour out blood to wash away so much shame, so much crime, so much abomination? Pure and spotless must the victim be! Where are you youth, who will embody in yourselves the vigor of life that has left our veins, the purity of ideas that has been contaminated in our brains, the fire of enthusiasm that has been quenched in our hearts? We await you, O Youth! Come, for we await you!” Ever since the death of Rizal by public execution in 1896, the history of the Filipino people has been the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly struggle to deny the power of the human mind with knowledge, and to reject the beauty of the human heart with wisdom. Indeed, to be not sane, or be culturally constructive; but only to be insane, and traditionally destructive. Thanks to teachers in our schools, and to professors in our colleges and universities – millions of Filipinos have yet to learn to substantiate the words of Jose Rizal: “I would like the Filipinos to be brilliant, enlightened, intelligent, and progressive.” Sadly, even the Knights of Rizal have been busy promoting social and political insanity in this God-forsaken country. Especially for the sake of preserving in this faith-soaked 21st century – the beliefs and values of Christianity. In this country, when one Pinoy suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When millions of Pinoys suffer from a confusion complicated by a delusion as inspired by corruption, it is called Christianity. Poch Suzara

If Rizal Died as a Penitent Catholic

If Rizal retracted and died not as heretic, but as a penitent catholic, how come he was never given a catholic burial? Rizal wrote: “Some write history to flatter or lower their enemies, others to support religious opinions with facts which they mutilate to suit their convenience.” Poch Suzara

Religion

I hate religion. It is the story of mankind mired in mindless sin and senseless crime and thoughtless violence, war, and death. Religion has also been and still is the story of human misery. Divinity who is the ultimate mystery, is never, in the ultimate analysis, an embraceable entity. And yet religion teaches us to love, worship, and adore such a divinity as a heavenly perplexity inextricably mixed with ecclesiastical complexity for the sake of nothing except to promote nothing but a sick society. Poch Suzara

Medicine

Medicine, and its ability to keep people alive who would otherwise be dead, is an amazing achievement of science.
Sadly, silly religion, to this day, continue to struggle against the growth and development and maturity of science – the real savior of our world.
For my part, I love science. It has exposed the mystery of religion as something of a triviality, a mediocrity, an everlasting mockery chasing after infinity. Poch Suzara

Our Greatest Good

Our greatest good may come from our deepest suffering.
This is sacred hogwash mixed with holy cow dung. What if your suffering comes from religious belief that was imposed upon you since childhood years? And it turns out that the greatest good can only be found after you are dead mindlessly and buried in a Catholic cemetery resting in peace thoughtlessly? Poch Suzara

Hating One Another

Hating one another is common in theology, not in psychology, because in psychology there is the possibility of discovering the harmony of rationality. In theology, however, there is only the complexity of imbecility masquerading as faith in the invisible complexity of a mysterious divinity. Poch Suzara

I am Told

I am told that God created the human brain. But which part of the brain – the mammalian part or the reptilian part? How odd of God to have created the animal part in anything that is already human.

In the meantime, if dogma is what you die for, and faith is what you kill for, then reason is what I live for. Indeed, reason is what makes me think – the difference between what makes me human and no longer an animal. Poch Suzara
