Jesus Born Perfect

If Jesus was born perfect, why was he born supot? The faith-healers of his days had to have him circumcised? Who disposed of his holy prepuce? The bible does not say as to what happened to it. Perhaps, the bible scholars can haunt for that bodily part of Jesus. After all, Jesus was the perfect Son of perfect God, wasn’t he? Poch Suzara

Jesus

Was Jesus a man of peace? Hardly. In fact, in the Gospels, Jesus displayed aggressive militarism quite contrary to his conventional image. Jesus announced that he came not to bring peace, but a sword.

In Luke 19:27, however, Jesus declares: “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.”

In Luke 22:36, Jesus “said unto them, but now, he that hath purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.” Such was Jesus – a man of war ready to die in battle, but not ready to question what it is that he willing to die for.

Atheism

Atheism is not therapy but restored mental health. We atheists live in a world of reality, not fantasy. We do not hate to work, on the contrary, we love to work especially for the growth and maturity of human intelligence especially as it promotes human benevolence. If we do hate, however, we hate human stupidity, especially the kind that is the hidden agenda behind the ultimate purpose of education. The majority of our college educated men and women hate more learning. Thus, they hate more reading. Indeed, in our sick society, daily praying is always more respectable than daily reading. Bertrand Russell said: “If we must die, let us die sober, and not drunk with lies.” For my part, as I evolved to become an atheist, I have also ceased wasting my time and energy actively involved as a stupid participant in the rat race for salvation. Indeed, I care about this world. It is the only world we know and at the same time - have. Poch Suzara

Class-mates and School-mates

My La Salle class-mates and school-mates are shocked. They are horrified to hear what in recent years I have been publicly declaring, consistently, and fearlessly that: - I am no longer a Catholic. I have become an atheist. A devout heretic. Well, if they are shocked with me, I am even more shocked at them. These grown-up highly educated men are still pretty much active with the infantile prayer that every La Salle student uttered before and after every class during grade school, high school, and in college: “St. John Baptist De la Salle, pray for us.” “Live Jesus in our hearts, forever.” As I look into the hearts and minds of these college-educated men, what I sadly found there is not love of country; only love for divinity. Indeed, like a bunch of religious morons – they have more love for Jesus, the Son of God, and more love for Mary, the Mother of God than they do have love for their own mother, father, brothers, sisters, and yea, their own life also. I should know. I was once that kind of a religious sap myself when I was in grade school and eventually expelled out of La Salle high school. Poch Suzara

Couples For Christ

There are a variety of couples existing in our sick society. The most popular one is well known everywhere as The Couples for Christ in Divinity.

None, however, exist at all, known as the Couples for Social Sanity. Especially since the 16th century to help remedy nationally perpetual stupidity out of our God-forsaken only Christian country in this already 21st century. Poch Suzara

Jesus in History

If Jesus was a real historical character, how come the angels and demons who played important roles in the life of Jesus never got to be historical characters themselves?

The bible tells us that Jesus was born in a Jewish land as the Jewish Son of a Jewish God. Could any of you explain how we Filipinos born in the Philippines could have anything historical to do with the Jews as they are the Chosen People of a Jewish God?

In the meantime, what’s the big deal about God the Father is omni-present, but Jesus the Son of God is omni-absent? How holy is the holy Trinity if its members are seldom present together united on earth as it is in heaven? Poch Suzara

World of Darkness

“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

The Holy Mind

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
