Afraid to Die

Those who are afraid to die are afraid to live. Bertrand Russell taught me the courage to live and the courage to face death sober, and not drunk with lies.

Now on these pages readers tell me that there is more to life than just to love, worship, and adore Bertrand Russell . Well, if there were, how come millions don’t know how to live such a life? How come millions are still waiting for their own Savior? It has been going on for more than 2,000 years now.

In the meantime, in life, you will always find what you are looking for. I have no money because I seldom looked for money. I am, however, rich in ideas, as I have never ceased to look for more and better ideas. In the meantime, mental health is the greatest of wealth. Poch Suzara

None of my Business

What other people think of me is beyond my control and therefore none of my business. If what they think of me is something dreadful – so what? If what they think of me is something beautiful – so what?

Either way, I stick to my character. My ways. I continue to develop my own mind and continue to cultivate my own heart. I try to live the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge - and that’s the difference. Poch Suzara

Original Sin

The “original sin” was the sin of creation – what could be more original? However, that word “sin” is not the right word; it should be a “crime.” Indeed, if our world of suffering and pain, tragedy, disease, and disaster is the work of a self-conscious Being, then creation is a crime and its creator - a criminal.

Now am I really such a fool and a liar because I am saying that the creator is not worth believing, not worth loving? As a matter of fact, what I am saying is that there is no such thing as God, no such thing as the creator. We are part of nature as nature as nature is part of us. Nobody, but nobody knows where it all came from. What we must seek is the reconstruction of nature and ourselves, and not seek, for the glory of a silly creator – obliteration. Poch Suzara

Existence

Paradoxically, existence has no meaning and to ask if existence has meaning is to ask a meaningless question. Existence exist and there is neither an explanation nor a justification why it exist. Existence exists. That’s all. For millions of years before birth, we were existing as a nothing. For millions of years after death, we will again be existing as a nothing. To explain why is there something rather than nothing is a matter of explaining the existence of nothing. My dear reader, every single something is energy and that energy is continually being transformed. Every transformation affects everything else that is in the process of becoming. In the meantime each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it. In the ultimate analysis, existence – the existence of something is really nothing but a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony. The sooner we accept the horror the sooner we can begin to be happy. After all there is no other way to go. Poch Suzara

I am Told

I am told that I am angry at the world and that MY ANGER is my problem in life. Of course, I agree and proud of it. If you, however, can take a closer look at our sick world dominated by sick values and sick beliefs, it is a sign of mental health to be angry at such a sick world. Otherwise, one has got to be a dumbstruck moron to believe that our world was created by a good God, and that this is the best of all possible worlds. Golly, if God could create a heaven filled with joys and happiness, why couldn’t the same God create a planet earth filled with joys and happiness too? In the meantime, it is not hatred of humanity; on the contrary, what inspires me always is the hatred of falsity or better known as either divinity or deviltry which is really one and the same supernatural gimcrackery.

Mad Religious Morons

A lot of my religious friends and relatives are mad at me. I have not ceased shoving into their faces that I am not afraid to enjoy free speech. I think they are mad at me because they are still trying to figure out not what to do with my free speech, but really what to do with their own free will. Poch Suzara

Fools

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalms 14:1

Well, it does not make any sense at all. To begin with, 3 out 4 babies born in this world are the fools. Why would God create such fools in his own image and likeness? Poch Suzara

The Sick Man of Asia

Ah, let us not forget where we all came from – the Sick Woman of Asia. They would produce children recklessly, if not irresponsibly. Indeed, even if such children were to be born unwanted or unloved. Children who will struggle to survive under subhuman conditions in the streets of our major cities. Millions of them are out there suffering from malnutrition, lacking in health, hygiene and sanitation. But we were all educated to believe that such horrors are really a part of God’s plan and that we should never worry because God will always provide.

I said it before. I say it again. We are not the intelligent masters of religion. We are the stupid victims. With faith in a silly divinity, we are keeping ourselves poor spiritually, retarded culturally, backward morally, and fearful in the ways of science and technology. Poch Suzara

Millions of Mothers

Millions of separated or single mothers are desperate for love, sex, and affection. Their husband or boyfriend or lover abandoned them. They did not know what to do with the father of their children. Hell, these mothers did not even know what to do with their own children after they were born. For God’s sake, most of these women do not even know what to do in life except feel blessed by God as they search desperately for more love, moew sex, and more affection. Can any of you please explain what the fuck is going on? What's the difference between God creating while mom and dad are busy fucking? Poch Suzara

Every Right

You have every right to believe what you want to believe. You have, however, no right whatsoever, to teach children in school to believe what you believe especially religion. A subject nobody knows nothing about. Children have every right to question everything; they have no right to believe in a lot of silly religious nothing. Poch Suzara

We are all Atheists

Most religious people are shocked out of their senses when I openly tell them that I am an atheist. These religious morons do not appreciate themselves as they are all a bunch of atheists too.

Christians who do not believe in the God of the Muslims are atheists according to Islam.

Muslims who do not believe in the God of the Christians are atheists according to Christianity.

So the same goes for the followers of the other great religions of the world - they are all atheists as they do not believe in the existence of each other’s Gods.
Well, if you just think a little bit more, even God Himself was an atheist. Take a good Look at his first command: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Obviously God did not believe in the existence of other Gods. Poch Suzara

Burning Bush

My dear reader, can you really believe that God in the Old Testament existed as a Burning Bush?

Well, for my part, as an atheist, I refuse to believe that Mary, the Virgin Mother of God in the New Testament got pregnant with Jesus as she got herself impregnated by a Burning Bush. Poch Suzara

The Bible Says

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Indeed, look at us Filipinos already about 400 years old as the only Christian people in Asia. Look how we are still aimless as a people and directionless as a nation. We are still stuck with the corrupt values and corrupt beliefs trained into us during the formative years in our schools, colleges, and universities.

In the meantime, I am told that nothing last forever. I totally disagree. There are some things that last as long as eternity. In the Philippines, among us Filipinos, it is called human stupidity. Poch Suzara

Oh God, Dear God

“When God forgives, He removes our sin and restores our soul.” Phil Star, Aug, 31,2009
Oh God, my dear God, don’t you have better things to do? Are you going to be a supernatural Nerd for the rest of eternity?

About 800 million women and their children in the world today go to sleep hungry each night. The majority of them love, worship, and adore your Son Jesus. What is the matter with you God? What in hell are you waiting for? What’s all this garbage about our dirty sins and polluted souls?

In the meantime, I am told that God exists as proven by the fact that there is, out there, not nothing, but something. Indeed, all of our troubles and problems in life in this world have something to do with something, and nothing to do with nothing. Poch Suzara

BR versus JC

To the saints Bertrand Russell was such a liar and so hard to read or to admire. He wrote: “The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. What the world needs now is not only love but also greater knowledge about the nature of love, in all its complexity.”

To the sinners, however, Jesus Christ was much more truthful and so easy to obey. Jesus said: “If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, yea, ad his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26

Take a good look at our sick society. Look how as saints or as sinners we all love Jesus up there while we hate one another down here. And to think that Jesus never went to college. He never attended high school. Golly, Jesus never even attended grade school. Yet, we love, worship, and adore Jesus who was not even a Filipino. He was a Jew born in a foreign land that never even got to be converted into embracing with deep faith Christian values and beliefs. Poch Suzara

Donating to Philippine Charity

I have donated on the average 100,00 pesos a year to Philippine charity. I started doing so since I arrived from the USA in 1986 having lived and worked in both Southern and Northern California for some 17 years.

Thus far, I have already donated a total of almost TWO MILLION PESOS ( 2,000,000 pesos ) to Philippine charity during these past 20 years. I have on hand the official receipts as proof to show to any one who thinks that I am such a “liar.” Indeed, most people have the impression that just because I am an atheist, I have neither a sense of morality nor in my heart a sense of charity. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t care less for the existence of a divinity. I care more about the spread of common human decency existing under a sane and a healthy society. Poch Suzara

Church and State

If you can believe in the existence of the separation between State and church, you might as well believe too in the existence of the separation between fear and ignorance.

Indeed, the job of the State is to keep the people living in ignorance. The job of the Church is to keep the people living in fear.

Thus, inspired by the corrupt state in cahoots with the corrupt church – is the corrupt system of education.

Look how we come out of our schools, colleges, and universities all at home with corruption than we are prepared to work for human civilization. Poch Suzara

College educated Jose Rizal

Indeed, Jose Rizal was college educated. High school expelled students, however, did not plan to put him to death in public. On the contrary, what I am saying is - if the college educated morons in power and authority did not get him executed, Jose Rizal could have done more, much more to show the way what real college education can do to accomplish health for the Filipino as a people and accomplish wealth for the Philippines as a nation. As it is, what we have accomplished as a college educated people and as a college educated nation is not love of country, but love of divinity.
And all for the sake of promoting in the Philippines social, religious, and political insanity.

As a non-believer of the Christian faith, indeed, as an atheist, and a high school expelled student, I rest my case. Poch Suzara

Comment from Bob Bernardo: - The so-called Philippine-education graduate Rizal vehemently dropped out of it, as vehemently as did, well-you-know-whom-I-mean. He described with contempt the intellectually stunting and morally degrading education he was getting at Sto.Tomas Pontifical University in the Filibusterismo historical novel. So, at 18, as indicated by his prize-winning ode to free thought and study(for one's perfection), he resolved to drop out for continuing modern advanced studies in Europe, including liberalizing Madrid. But most of it was self-study in the free air of scientific humanist Europe.

Ideas

Most of the ideas I write on this Blog, admittedly, have already been already expressed by other thinkers both in the ancient and in the modern world. Indeed, there is no such thing as an original idea as all ideas are but an imitation from various sources. Oh well, if you copy from one author, you are a plagiarist. If, however, you copy from 2 authors, you are a scholar. But if you copy from 3 different authors you are a researcher. With me I copy from the plagiarist and I copy from the scholar and I also copy from the researcher. In fact, I copy from 100 different authors. I am known as Poch Suara famous as a " catholic high-school Expelled Student" of some 65 years ago. Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Google#
