19.4 Million Students

“.81 million pre-schoolers, 13.9 million elementary students, 5.56 million high school students or 19.4 million students back to school today.” Phil Star June 1, 2009.

The Department of Health ( DOH ) and the Department of Education ( DepEd ) officials are on alert amid concerns of possible outbreak of Influenza virus in campuses.

For my part, as the chairman of the high school dropout Association of the Philippines, I should be more concerned for these millions of students ending up to be among the Sick Man of Asia in the future. They too will be taught to hold in deep faith that there will be a better world to come after death, and that after education, there will be a better country to go to and enjoy a higher standard of living and thinking, and indeed, remuneration.

Original Ignorance

Original Sin is not as horrible as the Original Ignorance. After all, we are all born ignorant, not sinful. We are made sinful by another of God’s creation – the devil – the silly talking Serpent - responsible for the Fall of Man during biblical times. Ah, perhaps I am wrong. But where did original stupidity come from if not from original divinity as inspired by the original deviltry? Look how, in this modern day and age, we still continue to pray to God to give us this day our daily bread, and to lead us not into temptation? And if that were not enough, we also continue praying to Mary, the Mother of God, to pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen! Poch Suzara

No life after Death

So there is no life after death! So what? Listen to Bertrand Russell – the philosopher who saved not stupid souls, but cultivated instead intelligent minds:

“I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive. I am not young, and I love life. But I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting.”

In the meantime, nothing is more natural than to believe that death is definite, not tentative. Or that death is a transition to a better life to come. Nothing is more absurd than to believe that the dead man is still living. Indeed, to pretend that we will be happy or unhappy after death of the body, is to pretend that we will still be able to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to taste without palate, to smell without a nose, and to feel without hands and skin. To propagate without the physical means to sexually penetrate. Poch Suzara

Private Relations

“In our private relations we all get busy that we have not time to develop affections for others, as they deserve to be developed; we have not time for sympathy, the understanding for those things that make for the beauty of human relations, because we are all so busy, and when we are not busy we tired.” Bertrand Russell

And that is why most marriages, most relationships - do not last unless of course we are busy with and for each other’s sake for a better future.

In the meantime, for each and every one of us – the day we are born, is also the day we begin to live in a dying body. That is why, if we must die, let is die sober, and not drunk or busy with lies. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell and Happiness

Bertrand Russell wrote: "Pleasure in itself is a good, but not a very important good, and it cannot satisfactorily be made an end of life because it does not entail progressive activity. To achieve happiness it is necessary to have some end never completely realized, but always in the process of realization. Ambition, parental affection, scientific curiosity, artistic creativeness, supply such activities; a man or woman who is absorbed in one of these and is not wholly unsuccessful can achieve a measure of happiness, but a man or woman who lives for pleasurable moments is certain, ultimately, to be the prey of unendurable boredom.”

As for me – I am enjoying my life as I am indeed a happy individual. I am happy because I found a job, nay, a lifetime career – to be involved in the war against Christianity which to defeat will take as yet another a century. Poch Suzara

Good World

We know from the bible that when God created the world he saw that it was good. Unfortunately, not so good for the religious morons who have to live in this “good” world. Happily, however, they have been told to believe that there will be a better world to come after death. Unfortunately, where exactly is that world located – nobody knows. Not even the theologians – the experts on the knowledge of God, heaven, hell, and purgatory, and the existence of the devil.

In the meantime, God also stated in the same bible to “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 spirituality plus Christianity add up to nothing but organized insanity that makes for our sick society? Poch Suzara

Evil – the Absence of God

We are told that "Evil is simply the absence of God. Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of God....God did not create evil. It is not like TRUTH, or LOVE, which exists as virtues or, like heat or light. Evil is simply the state where GOD IS NOT PRESENT, like cold without heat or darkness without light."

So what in hell is God doing present only in places where evil is absent? Is God afraid to face and confront evil? Indeed, while God is not present everywhere, why then does he allow the devil to be in charge of evil everywhere in this world? Can any of you religious morons explain the existence of the stupid devil under God’s management?

As an atheist, I am dead sure that there is no God existing out there. However, if I am wrong that it turns out that there is really a God existing out there, then I say such a God is not worth loving, respecting, and believing. Such a God, no doubt, is good; unfortunately, good for nothing. Poch Suzara

The Death of Nature

Michael Moore wrote: “The things we call "cars" may have been fun to drive, but they are like a million daggers into the heart of Mother Nature. To continue to build them would only lead to the ruin of our species and much of the planet.”

Well, due to the billions of people now inhabiting our planet, nature is also dying the death of a billion cuts.

Now we are told Nature is God’s creation and we humans should respect God’s work. Indeed, we should. But then again why should we when we have been indoctrinated to believe in our schools, colleges, and universities that there is a better world to come after death? God himself tells us to love not this world, neither the things that are in the world? In fact, according to the bible, if you love the world, the love of God is not with you!

Indeed, we continue to believe that this world of nature and the flesh is something low and depraved and unworthy and therefore of little concern or consequences for those who seek the eternal life with God. After all, this natural world is merely a stopover on our journey to the next world. Therefore the less attention placed on it, the more attention placed on God’s kingdom, the better? Is it any wonder I ask that this world, our world, is a world degraded by stupid religion?

That is why as atheists we think nothing matters in this world except that which affects humanity. To hell with childish divinity. Poch Suzara

If Religions were Stupid Why do Billions of People have a Religion

If religions were fundamentally stupid, why is it that billions of people believe and have faith in their religion? The answer: most people are stupid not by taste nor by choice, but by education. Look how today, in this day and age, owing to stupid education, billions of people still believe that the sun that rises in the morning and sets in the evening! This is not true. It is all but a grand illusion. Just like the existence of the biggest gang of criminals in the Philippines - our Congressmen and Senators. We all believe them to be corrupt because they are atheists. This is not true. On the contrary, all of them are faithful believers in God and in love with the Son of God Jesus - the Savior of the Filipinos in the Philippines - the great supernatural power who is able to forgive their sins and their crimes.

Animals

"The total amount of suffering in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. For most animals, reality is a business of struggle, suffering and sudden death." Richard Dawkins

Nevertheless, for my part, as an atheist, I have every respect for all the animals existing in the natural world. They do not make me sick having faith in God. None of them pray to God to forgive them of their sins and crimes. They are exempted. Animals do not believe in life after death with God in heaven; or believe in life after death with the devil in hell. I envy the animals. They are not pretentious. They have no faith in any of the great religions of the world. Poch Suzara

Great Religions of the World

The child’s fear and sense of helplessness have always been at the foundation of the great religions of the world. Especially Christianity. Jesus said: “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

For my part, I love children. I want them, however, to grow up and live the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. I don’t want children, like a bunch of religious morons, to end up in the kingdom of heaven. In fact, I want my own children to try and leave this world one day a better place than how they found it.

What a Life

We live on a speck of dust among the galaxies of which there exist billions of them comprising the universe.

Life itself seems to be a product, if not the result of a – disease. Drug addiction is a disease. Alcoholism is a disease. Eating, copulating, walking, breathing, sleeping, and indeed, even thinking, learning, etc, is a disease.

Consider the day we are born: we begin to live in a dying body. In fact, life itself is a sexually transmitted disease with a mortality rate of 100 per cent.

Now the religious morons tell me that God made man in His own image and likeness. Well, if we were the Sick Man of Asia, isn’t it because we were created in the image and likeness of a sick God? Poch Suzara

St. Augustine - the Moronic Saint

After a lusty and intellectually inventive young manhood, Augustine withdrew from the world of sense, reality, and intellect. He advised others to do the same. He writes:

“There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity… It is this which drives us on to try to discover the secrets of nature which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which men should not wish to learn… In this immense forest, full of pitfalls and perils, I have drawn myself back, and pulled myself away from these thorns. In the midst of all these things which float unceasingly around me everyday, I am never surprised at any of them… I no longer dream of the stars.”

The time of Augustine’s death, 430 a.d., marks the beginning of cultural stagnation, if not social degradation, - throughout Europe. It lasted for a thousand years. In the meantime, there was, indeed, a time when every single man, woman, and child believed, loved, and venerated God in this world. Historians refer to it as the Dark Ages.

In the Philippines, however, as we Filipinos all love and worship God, specially the God of the bible, we do not live in the Age of Analysis. On the contrary, as the Sick Man of Asia, we only continue to live in an Age of Mental Paralysis. Poch Suzara

Believing Verses Thinking

Most people hate to think. They only love to believe; especially anything that is not true. It spares them the ordeal of having to think for themselves and to take responsibility for what they should discover with a sense of honor, dignity, self-respect, and intelligibility. Poch Suzara

Religious Hogwash

‘The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Psalm 23:1-2... Since the 1st century, more than a 100 BILLION people already lived and died on this earth. Today in this 21st century, the world is populated by more than 7 BILLION people. Some 800 million women and children go to bed hungry every night. Nay, they do not even sleep on a bed! For Christ’s sake they do not even have toilet facilities. For the Lord to make you lie down in green pastures and lead you to still waters, etc. has got to more of the same religious hogwash that’s keeping our world poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, insane politically, not to mention stupid globally. In the meantime, I am told by the faithful believers that sex is one of the most beautiful language in this UNIVERSE! It is because of this language that two persons become one. Wowowee! No wonder we continue to live in such a religiously fucked world. And to think that the religious morons of this world continue to insist that God created man and woman in his own image and likeness. Poch Suzara

The Republic of Rizalia

Our Jose Rizal was arrested, jailed, and put to death by Christianity – his enemy. Indeed, in the Philippines, Rizal was considered a dangerous thinker. Rizal sensibly preached the exact opposite of what Christianity preached: “Our duty is to love our country and our conscience commands that we should do everything that this duty commands.” Rizal also wrote: “I would like the Filipino people to become worthy, noble, honorable, for a people who makes itself despicable for its cowardice or vices exposes itself to abuses and vexations.” As an Asian who has the greatest love, admiration, and affection for Jose Rizal and his ideals and principles and sanity, I submit that until the Republic of the Philippines has been renamed as the Republic of Rizalia – never, shall I ever, again, be proud to call myself a Filipino. I would rather that one day, before I leave this world, I shall refer to myself as a decent citizen of the Republic of Rizalia. Our legislators should begin the process of legislating the new name of our country. I hope they will not be waiting for the Will of God. Such a will has never existed neither has a God. The traditional advice to “become as little children” has never been constructive. In fact, as it goes with another Christian precept – “take no thought for the morrow,” - it has always been destructive. Indeed, we are all born innocent, not guilty. We are made guilty by a stupid system of education. In the meantime, it is a terrible thing to waste the human brain. We usually achieve what we, in life, can conceive with the power of our brains. In the new Republic of Rizalia, we should wish to see more creative joys in life rather than the drab tragedy of widespread poverty as inspired by religious insanity. As citizens of the republic of Rizalia, we need no longer trouble our own house to inherit the wind. Nor should we continue to be the fools as the servants of other fools. Indeed, we should no longer be the poor victims of Christianity - the greatest fraud ever foisted on humanity. We can begin to become a nation of intelligent readers; not childish prayers. We need the morality of initiative, not the morality of submission. The morality of hope, not fear, of things to be done rather than to be left undone. We must stop this business of loving only a God out there by hating one another down here. Our talents and abilities should be the real products of a Rizalian system of education - valuable right here for the development of our own country, and not just employable out there overseas – a drain for our own national development, not a gain. After all, foreign countries are already enjoying Jose Rizal’s high standard of thinking, working, and living based upon the power of science – the real Savior of our world. It is time to grow and mature as a decent people. It is time we develop ourselves as a decent nation. Freedom and democracy and the end of all forms of exploitative controls are good conditions for living the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Let us make radical changes for our country. Let us embrace not the love of death, but precisely Jose Rizal’s love of life. Otherwise, for centuries to come, we shall only continue to struggle with our Christian so-called values and beliefs as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

My Critics

My critics tell me that I am a failure; specially as I am an atheist. That nobody listens to me as I have been rehashing my arguments for ages, like mustard seeds falling on arid soil. That I am all but a nada. That I am still sick with fear as I got expelled out of high school some 65 years ago. Oh well, I say, what can you expect from an individual who, after he was kicked out a high-school, enrolled himself as a lifetime student in the greatest of all universities - it is but a collection of great books?

We Filipinos

We Filipinos have been educated, nay, indoctrinated to be incredulous, nay to be gullible enough to believe in something, to believe in anything. In the absence, however, of that something, of that anything, we are suppose to even believe in the existence of nothing.

Thus, we are the Sick Man of Asia. We do not think as a people. We do not think as a nation. We have only been frightened to believe in something. Indeed, we believe in anything, and in fact, our tradition has always been about believing and having faith in the existence of nothing. Poch Suzara

I Ask

Have any of you ever heard of a Filipino who got to be filthy rich for believing that God is bad? So how come millions upon millions of Filipinos are filthy poor for believing that God is good? In the meantime, college educated Pinoys and Pinays comprising our sick society pray daily to God “to give us this day our daily bread, and to lead us not into temptation.” These college educated Pinoys and Pinays are products of La Salle, Ateneo, Assumption college, Miriam college, Letran, San Beda, Diliman University, University of San Thomas, Santa Theresa college, Lyceum, including the Asian Institute of Management, and of course products of the University of the Philippines. As for me, luckily, I was expelled out of high school. I was thrown out of La Salle University because I refused to believe that God is a Catholic who provides us with daily bread or that God leads us into temptation.

Women love Fucking Idiots

Most women enjoy mediocrity, and that is why most men would sooner achieve a reputation in mediocrity than display rationality. Proving one's self as a mediocre is the quickest way to penetrate what’s in between her legs oozing out with femininity. In the meantime, when you love someone, be honest and truthful. It is always healthier to tell the truth and make him cry than to tell him a lie to make him smile. Otherwise, what you would have won for the rest of your life will be a fucking idiot. Poch Suzara
