“A world in darkness needs the light of the gospel.” Phil Star 1/23/2009.
That’s fine and dandy except for the theological horror that it was the gospel writers who concocted the so-called “world of darkness” to begin with. Nice try, you silly morons! Poch Suzara

The Holy Bible
The holy bible says do not hate and do not kill. But bible believers have not ceased hating and killing each other because the same bible also says one must hate and kill in order to please the Lord.
Listen to one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. In his AGE OF REASON, (1794) Thomas Paine wrote:
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon that the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.”
In the meantime, it is sad to see the new president of the United States of America continue using the obsolete bible during the oath taking ceremony. The US Constitution book should best be used. Meaningfully. Appropriately. Especially for change we can all believe in. Poch Suzara

Seek the Truth
The greatest evil committed against students during formative years in school is idea that they must always attach more importance not to the power nor to the beauty of asking questions, but only to believe and to always have faith with the answers supplied to them by the teachers. Indeed, education should have nothing to do with WHAT TO BELIEVE. It should only be about HOW TO THINK!
I said it before, I say it again, always seek answers to your questions, but never belittle the power of formulating deeper kinds of questions. Otherwise gullibility takes over to support stupid faith in mediocrity. More questions are far more valuable than the answers, because, in time, the answers become obsolete. Indeed, to stop asking questions is to stop thinking constraining the power of one's intellect. "The truth,” wrote Bertrand Russell, “is a shining goddess, always veiled, always distant, never wholly approachable, but worthy of all the devotion the human spirit is capable.” Poch Suzara Facebook# Atheist# Twitter# Google#
Hatred of Intelligence
Hatred of intelligence is what is usually found burning within the lives of the great saints of God like Augustine, Aquinas, Paul in the past, not to mention - the Opus Dei gang, the Jesuits, the Catholic bishops, together with Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, Eli Soriano of Dating Daan, Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement in the present, and TV prachers of Iglesia Ni Cristo. They all hate the growth of human intelligence. Not to mention Fr. Reuter, the American priest - he hates the power of logic as he is only at home with being a Catholic.
Hatred of intelligence is at the foundation of the system of education in the Philippines. Teachers and professors, as they hate intelligence, are readily qualified to teach in Catholic schools, colleges, and universities. Our politicians in the government love the arrangement. With hatred as the standard of mediocrity in this country, they have no problem as hate, not love of human intelligence, gets the politicians elected into high government office. Poch Suzara
Rizal Biographers
A few of Rizal’s biographers failed not defend him. They defended, instead, Christianity – Rizal’s enemy by writing something like: “He became a marked man for writing the NOLI and FILI the books which shook the foundation of Spanish rule in the Philippines.” See Rizal’s Life, Works and Writings by Capino, Gonzalez, and Pineda.”
The fact is that there never was any so-called Spanish rule in the Philippines. There was only Christianity that ruled Spain as it ruled the rest of half of the world at that time. Christianity, not Spain, conquered the Philippines in order to spread the gospel. Indeed, the same Christianity still here pretty much established and in control of Filipino way of life in the Philippines - one of provinces of the Vatican State in this 21st century since the 16th century.

A Man of Faith
A man of faith is like a stupid drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination.
Now, for Christ’s sake, how can those who are already so-called “mature” in their faith help others to “mature” in their faith? See Philippine Star 1/31/2009 Poch Suzara

God, the Creator of Filipinos
If God created the Filipino in his own image and likeness, or better said – created the Filipino with his own wisdom and knowledge, then how come we are born ignorant, wet, naked, hungry, uncircumcised, and crying? And then after we are taught about the existence of our creator in the blessed-by-God schools, colleges, and universities - how come we Filipinos learn only to become selfish, greedy, corrupt, frightened, and insane?
We are taught to believe that there is always God available to forgive our sins and to pardon our crimes. That is, of course, on condition that what we faithfully aim for in this life is only be with God one day in heaven after death. To begin to enjoy the rewards called “eternal salvation.”
Indeed, we are taught to believe that our earthly life, nature, and the flesh is low, depraved, and unworthy and therefore should be of little concern or consequence to those seeking the holy Christian way of life. Even the Creator himself said in the bible: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not with him.” John 2:15. Is it any wonder that the Philippines is more about the kingdom of Christianity? Hardly about a sane public enjoying a healthy Republic?
Notice when we Filipinos leave for employment abroad, we enjoy a higher standard of living and thinking offered in those foreign countries. Back here at home, however, with government officials always in cahoots with church officials all they have to offer the Filipino left behind is to enjoy our corrupt way of life as the Sick Man of Asia.

Historical Victims
It is truly sad to see the historical victims of this country, especially those who call themselves Rizalists. They still focus on Rizal as a nobody, comparatively. They are still taught to look not at the face of his powerful enemy - those who had him arrested, jailed, and then executed - the power and authority then in the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th century Philippines. Such same power and authority in this already 21st century still making sure that in schools, colleges, and universities Rizal is treated as a lesser man. Specially compared to the great saints of God such as St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, St. Paul, St. John Baptist de la Salle, not to mention the Son of God Jesus and his apostles in the Philippines.
To think that these weird religious characters were all born in foreign countries. Rizal, one of the rarest of men the human race has ever produced was born in the Philippines – another victim - not as yet also the master of historical direction as a nation. Poch Suzara

Linguistic Morons
College professors and newspaper columnists argue on the evils of the English language as the medium of instruction for Filipino students in school. They say it will retard their sense of nationalism. It is incredible, however, that these linguistic morons argue their case so eloquently by utilizing not the Filipino, but the English language.
Jose Rizal got to be bigger and taller, not lesser or smaller of a Filipino as he could speak and write in several languages. In fact, if we Filipinos were tri-lingual, if we could speak and write in Tagalog, English, Spanish fluently as taught to us in kinder, grade school, high school, and in college – we would be treated with more respect and dignity anywhere we go around the world.
The planet earth is transforming itself into a global village. The human way of life will be based more on science and technology. English is the language of science and technology. I wish you linguistic morons would stop fucking around with the power and the beauty of the English language. Poch Suzara

Wise Advice
"Do not do to others what you do not want done to you' - a wise advice, indeed." For my part, however, I want to be wiser. I should want to do to others what I want them to always do to me – make me think! Poch Suzara
The Truth
How wonderful that the truth goes marching on, and that the truth will set us free; unfortunately, however, it is also at the same time dreadful: no one knows what the truth is, or where exactly it is heading. Poch Suzara
Christianity
The wealth and power, indeed the great success of Christianity in the Philippines comes from Filipinos taught how to live in fear of divinity; if not due to Filipinos taught how to look forward to a better world to come by ignoring love of country.
Christianity in the Philippines has always been about the behavioral control of Filipinos, especially in the development of insufficiency, incompetence, and diminished self-reliance as a people since the 16th century.
In the meantime, look how we all want to go to heaven, but none of us want to die. Poch Suzara

Psalm 119:2-32
“God speaks to those who take the time to listen, and he listens to those who take the time to pray.” Phil Star January 3, 2009.
Oh God, dear God, whatever happened to your own free will to change and eliminate the life of poverty in the Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century?
Consider poverty of the worst kind brought about by the teachings of Christianity - the poverty of the mind and heart. Poch Suzara

Far more holy than the holy bible is the holy mind of man – solely responsible for the existence of the bible and its contents. In the meantime, the mind is not a terrible thing to waste; on the contrary, it is a terrible thing to waste the mind. Poch Suzara
Dark Black God
It is ludicrous to believe in the existence of a Black God who existed in total darkness before the creation of the universe. It is incredible to believe that such a God had to create the sun to illuminate everything dark around Him originally devoid of brilliant light. Imagine a dark divinity devoid of total luminosity before a show of universal creativity? Poch Suzara
The Corrupt Morons
The corrupt morons comprising our sick society have yet to acknowledge a simple truth. The corrupt officials we have traditionally elected to be in government are all God-fearing men and Jesus-loving women.
There has never been one, no, not a single one amongst these corrupt criminals as government officials who publicly-declared himself or herself as an atheist. Of course, as the Sick man of Asia, we all need to be God-fearing. After all, who but a God out there will forgive us of the sins we commit against each other and the crimes we commit against our own country down here? Poch Suzara

Where’s the Bread
The Bible itself states in Gen. 3:19, that: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” And here we are - the religious morons that we all are – we never stop praying to God to give us this day our daily bread. To think that while many of us have no bread to eat, while hungry, we also pray to the same God to lead us not into temptation. Poch Suzara
Born Atheists
No child is born with a religion. We are all born atheists coming out of mother's womb. We were all frightened to believe in a lot of religious hogwash while we were in school. Just like our parents and grandparents frightened too as they are same products of the same school. Who benefits from all this religious hogwash? Me? You? Our children? Our society? Our Country? Take a good look at the wealth, power, and glory of the Vatican State. It even had to get rid of our one and only Jose Rizal to pave the way for the great business of Christianity while everything else is a sick failure that yearly makes Filipinos only famous throughout the world as the Sick Children
of Asia! Poch Suzara
The Power of Thought
There is an old Taoist saying, "Beware what you think for they become your words. Beware what you say for they become your actions. Beware your actions as they become your habits. Beware your habits as they become your fate." So changing your fate simply requires changing your thoughts."
Bertrand Russell expounded it better, not only courageously, but more so profoundly:
“It will be said that the love of mental adventure must be rare, that there are few who can appreciate it, and that ordinary education can take no account of so aristocratic a good. I do not believe this. The joy of mental adventure is far commoner in the young than in grown men and women. Among children it is very common and grows naturally out of the period of make-believe and fancy. It is rare in later life because everything is done to kill it during education. Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth – more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. It sees man, a feeble speck, surrounded by unfathomable depths of silence; yet it bears itself proudly, as unmoved as if it were the lord of the universe. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world and the chief glory of man.” See Bertrand Russell’s THE PRINCIPLES OF SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION.
For my part, I said it before, I say it again: FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN LOVE IS THE POWER OF THOUGHT; FOR, DEVOID OF THOUGHT THERE IS NO SUCH BEAUTY AS THE POWER OF LOVE." Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
Bible Scholars
They are among the first religious morons who will tell you that “first of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation.”
To think that a published book is for everyone to read and indeed, to understand and learn from. Is it any of the reader’s fault if the bible contents were not as exact and as certain, and indeed as truthful as the multiplication table – not possible for any kind of moronic or contradictory interpretation? Can you imagine a teacher of arithmetic telling his students: “First of all you must understand this, that no part of the multiplication table is a matter of one’s own interpretation.” Poch Suzara
