Where is Melchisedec Today
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Hebrews 7:5
A lot of my friends and relatives and associates are horrified by my atheism. Well, I should be willing to flush my atheism down the tube if any of you can show me the whereabouts of Melchisedec. Obviously he is God living as a priest somewhere on this earth today. But where? which country? Do any of you know? I’d like to meet and ask Melchisedec a great many questions! I’d like to learn from his vast knowledge and experiences in life. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
Misleading the World
Most men of wealth, power, and glory are not leading, but are misleading the world into becoming a messier place. It is so glaringly obvious, if not alarmingly transparent in recent decades in America - not the land of the free or the home of the brave, but a nation of the greedy, the selfish, the criminal, and the insane. Indeed, we Americans have yet to learn how to exist in peace and harmony with the rest of the world in dire need for reconstruction, not destruction. Poch Suzara
Insane Religion
If you were a sinner and found yourself in heaven, God will see to it that you will be painfully punished forever and ever.
If, however, as a sinner you found yourself down in hell, Satan will be most happy to welcome and reward you forever and ever for a job well done.
And that, my dear reader, is just how insane the basis of our religion has been founded since the birth, death, resurrection, and the Second Coming of Jesus – the Jewish Son of God, the Jewish Prince of peace, the Jewish Savior and the Jewish Light of the world. Poch Suzara

Religion
Religion is God’s failure on earth. Consider, in this already 21st century. We are still into praying daily to God to give us this day our daily bread, and to lead us not into temptation; and we are also still praying to Mary, the Mother of God, to pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.
If religion were already a success on this earth, no one need waste any more time and energy praying to Mary, the Mother of God to pray for us sinners. As if Mary could not tell her Son off about the silly horrors still repeated again and again in this God-forsaken world of ours. Poch Suzara

The Bored and the Restless
The bored and the restless love to pretend that they busy doing something. They are, in fact, accomplishing nothing and always running away from everything. They are more into acquiring the symbols of wealth instead of cultivating mental health which is the greatest of wealth. They love to feel the excitement of killing time. Hardly do they realize, however, that time is already killing them.
In the meantime, the bored and the restless have yet to appreciate Socrates, the Greek philosopher. More than three thousand years ago, he said: “The un-examined life is not worth living for man. I love Socrates. He cared for the future of man who will one day venture and explore the galaxies. Poch Suzara

Supernatural Dust
The bible says: – “dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Gen 3:1
Well, if God made man in his image and likeness, then God must be made of dust too. Now, do you religious morons really believe in the existence of a supernatural Dust? Poch Suzara

42 Daily Newspapers
There are 42 daily newspapers in the Philippines today. Each one praying daily to win over readership of approximately 9 million readers from a population of 90 million Filipinos. Too bad for the print media we are not a nation of active intelligent readers. We are more into passive silly prayers.
In the meantime, there is much evil in Philippines journalism. By giving readers the views or opinions of the superstitious, if not the religious, the media keeps us in touch with historical fears and traditional ignorance keeping our country perpetually poor and eternally backward. Poch Suzara

War
War is a friend of the rich, not the poor. After all, war is big business. In war, the few rich get richer and ahead. The many poor, however, get poorer and dead.
It is time for the world to stop the war business. International disputes should be settled not with ammunition, but with the illumination that precisely established the United Nations. Poch Suzara

Logic and Mathematics are one and the Same Animal
Logic has become mathematical and mathematics has become logical with the slight difference that does not matter except Bertrand Russell as he discovered the fact a century ago. In fact, according to Russell, the two are one. They differ as boy and man: logic is the youth of mathematics and mathematics is the manhood of logic. Though he never knew it, Russell was one of the logical mathematicians who fathered the computer industry. It is incredible how the religious morons are utilizing their computer machine to spread the Word of God.
For my part, I love, worship, and adore Bertrand Russell. He encouraged me to get involved with the power of creative thought. Even if there were little logic or mathematics in the activity for creativity. Indeed, there are no rules, no equations, no measurements for creative thinking. There is only the beauty and the reliability and the efficiency of questioning everything. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
Philippine Progress
If we Filipinos want sane growth as a people and healthy development as a nation – the first thing we must do is to keep our sick politicians and our sick theologians out of it. If there is anything that keeps the Filipino sick as a people, it is due to the lies and deception from our sick church officials. And if there is anything that keeps the Philippines sick as a nation, it is due to our sick government officials. Oh well, it is hard to blame these sick men and women. After all, they all share something in common: they all have acquired a college diploma. Poch Suzara
Christian Welfare Agencies
Christianity has done charitable work for the poor, but never, as it ever, in all of its history, has done anything at all to get rid of poverty, totally, out of our sick society. Christianity could never be serious in alleviating poverty because, to begin with, she has a vested interest in human misery and suffering otherwise euphemized as “sacrifices.” For all of its alleged concern for the “poor in spirit,” Christianity has been in no field of hypocrisy more shameless – proud of her great success in promoting spiritual poverty in tandem with moral bankruptcy as a way to control the Filipino minds and hearts in the Philippines since the 16th century.
In the meantime, in our sick society, everybody is impressed with the aims and goals of the Christian welfare charity organizations. Especially as such organizations are getting richer while the poor they are helping are getting poorer and increasing in great numbers. Thanks to the business of “mercy” as inspired by the priesthood industry. It is never really interested to remedy, permanently, poverty but only to seek popularity and indeed more money. The Christian welfare agencies have no qualms about our needless population growth especially as it is forcing a fantastic rise in malnutrition, illiteracy, and indignities. In fact, what we are told to believe is that what is important in the end is to please a divinity up there even if it means degrading humanity down here. Acts of charity in this country? Most are about gross hypocrisy wrapped in Christian piety benefiting not human society but only the priesthood industry. Poch Suzara

Religions
If religions were fundamentally silly, why is it that so many millions of people have a religion to believe in?
Here, however, is a deeper question: If religion was necessary to all men, why is it not equally intelligible to all men? Indeed, why must we all love God up there but only by hating one another down here? Nay, here’s more: if religion were the most serious of matter in human existence, why is the subject of religion the least we judiciously examine or, for that matter, critically discover for ourselves?

Atheist/Scientist Carl Sagan
Listen to these words of this famous atheist/scientist – the late Carl Sagan. In his best-seller book COSMOS, he wrote: “Was there a tiny universe, devoid of all matter, and then the matter suddenly created from nothing? How does that happen? In many cultures it is customary to answer that God created the universe out of nothing. But this is mere temporizing. If we wish to courageously pursue the question, we must, of course ask next where did God come from? And if we decide this to be unanswerable, why not save a step and decide that the origin of the universe is an unanswerable question? Or, if we say that God has always existed, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always existed?” Poch Suzara
Nature
Nature is but a name of an effect whose cause is God. Phil Star Feb. 6/2009.
Who knows if that cause – God – is still alive? Specially since God is always invisible within the realm of the unknowable, and never ever visible within the arena of the knowable.
The most basic law of physics states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed; they can only be transformed into different states. In the meantime, existence exists and nothing can exist outside existence. Now where is God located? Inside or outside existence? More to the point – how could God exist outside the universe since there is nothing existing outside the universe? In fact, everything that exist can only exist inside the universe! Now where in the universe is God? Poch Suzara

I Hate Religion
I hate religion as I no love for anything that's based on fear. Fear never promotes mental growth. Fear is never a reflection of intellectual maturity. I hate religion because it enhances deadly believing, not lively thinking. Nothing evolved in religion. The religious lies and deception during the first century are still same lies and deception in this 21st century. If religion had been more about the courage to live, and not about the fear of death; indeed, if religion were about the search of the truth, and not that this or that is the truth – I would have learned to love passionately, not hate religion justifiably. Religion has been more about being a part of the security system organized by the church. It is a great business for gaining wealth, power, and glory. Sadly, however, there is no such thing as a security system anywhere in this world. Not as long as there is birth, growth, death, and decay. In the ultimate analysis, however, if religion had never taught that to be human means to be evil, fallen, and in need of rescue - religion need not have proceeded to be one of the greatest of evils that keep the human race still pretty much bogged down in disgrace.

Filipino Education
We are still into the fear of believing rather than into the courage of thinking.
Take sex, for example. We still fear what the church has always preached that sex
is a sin, and naturally to keep it sinful, it’s been necessary to keep it fearful.
In the meantime, we believe that propagating the species is a matter of divine grace; but sexual activity is a matter of divine disgrace. In either case, however, we have yet to hear from would-be mothers and would-be fathers enjoying mutual orgasms declaring, at the same time, that nothing matters during sexual engagement except replenishing the Philippines with more babies even if unwanted or unloved.

Religious Morons
They would not bother to ask where the places of burial are of the dead bible characters – Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, Noah, Lot, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Job, Paul, the apostles of Christ, etc – men and women who were famous and in personal communication with God.
The religious morons of this world, however, would easily get excited over the so-called discovery of one or two rickety chariot parts rotting at the bottom of the Red Sea to prove that three thousand years ago, Pharaoh’s men – thousands of them – all drowned while chasing after Moses crossing the Red Sea with 3,000,000 of his Jewish people in search of the Promise Land that obviously never existed.

Science vs Pseudoscience
Science and pseudoscience are the opposite ways of viewing nature. Science relies on -- and insists on -- self-questioning, observation, testing, and analytical thinking that make it hard to fool yourself or to fool others. Indeed,, science is never definite. It is never conclusive. Science is always tentative, never final. Thus, in science, questions are far more important than the answers.After all, in time, the answers become obsolete.
Pseudoscience, on the other hand, preserves the ancient, natural, irrational, unobjective modes of thought that are hundreds of thousands of years older than science -- thought processes that have given rise to superstitions and other fanciful and mistaken ideas about man and nature – from woowoo to voodoo; from the flat earth to the house-shaped universe with God in the attic, Satan in the cellar, and man on the ground floor; from doing rain dances to torturing and brutalizing the mentally ill to drive out the demons that possess them.
Pseudoscience encourages people to believe anything they want. It supplies specious "arguments" for fooling themselves into thinking that any and all beliefs are equally valid. Science begins by saying, let's forget about what we believe to be so, and try by investigation to find out what actually is so. These roads don't cross; they lead in completely opposite directions. One, heading towards veracity; the other heading towards faith in mendacity. Poch Suzara

Limits of Science
Science cannot explain why as human beings we are persons, not merely objects... Science can tell us nothing why the mind exists and functions well as it does... Science cannot define or explain ethical principles nor can add to the inner quality of life... Science is unable to tell us why or when exactly the universe came into being... Science is unable to explain why there are scientific or natural laws, or why they are consistent and dependable... Science cannot explain why the universe is so amazingly fine-tuned to support intelligent life on our planet... Well, what about religion? What can it tell us? Is it true? Is there a God? And if God is the Creator of everything that exist – why would God create science to deal precisely with the questions that religion has never been able to answer? Questions like: Where is God? How come he is always nowhere? Always omni-absent. How come God is never omni-present anywhere? In fact, if God exists, why is God such a cold-blooded perfection? Why is God so lost in self-admiration? Why is God so fanatical about eternal salvation who never extended a decent hand during the birth, growth, and development of human civilization? Poch Suzara
