I said it before, I say it again: Unless we all learn to become
atheists – to stop believing in a God or Allah or Yahweh or a
Burning Bush or what-not – we shall never be able to proceed on
the road towards global beauty and harmony for a better and a
healthier humanity.
Peace on earth and goodwill to all men is only possible as soon
as we all dump into the garbage bin all of our mindless religious
beliefs and thoughtless religious values. Indeed, nothing is
more constrictive, and in the long run more destructive than a
belief that is based on childish lies, if not infantile, -
deceptions.
Religion should be a private and a personal affair. Organized
religion, however, should never be taught in our schools, colleges,
and universities. If we ever hope for education to be truthful,
useful, and lively, it must be kept away from organized religion
which is dreadful, useless, and deadly. Organized religion is
simply nothing but organized insanity.
In the meantime, let us, indeed, teach our children that there
are bigger things in this world than we are - our family, our
country, this planet earth, and the whole of mankind - these
realities are bigger things than we are. And not some supernatural
silly monster somewhere out there in space eternally existing
only because of our infantile, nevertheless fearful - blind faith.

Faithful Believers
Faithful believers believe that God is a good and a loving
God and wants believers to do good things. In fact, most
believers, naturally enough, want to do good things and to
behave morally.
Sadly, however, millions of believers do not read the Bible,
or just read certain passages of it in church. It is
understandable. The Bible is hard to read due to its archaic
language and obscure references. Also many priests and
preachers don’t want you to read certain passages written
in the Bible because they convey a message of loss, not
profit. Indeed, a message for bankruptcy; not financial
security. For example, “thou shall not follow the multitude
to do evil.” Exodus 23:2.
Imagine the tremendous loss of revenues for the priesthood
industry if everyone follows not the multitude to do evil?
What will happen to the billions that the church makes as
monthly income by protecting and defending evil in this
world? The more evil there are existing in this world the
better justification it is for the church to pretend to be
against such evils. But as a matter of historical fact, the
church has always had a vested interest in human misery,
poverty, and indeed, the concocted existence of deviltry.
Could anything thoughtful be build on a thoughtless rock?
And why should the gates of hell prevail against a mindless
piece of rock? In the meantime, during these past centuries,
in the Philippines, for example, when was the Son of God
Jesus ever around? The Savior of Filipinos? The Redeemer
of all mankind? Or, the whereabouts of his apostles who were
given the power and authority to destroy the devil? Time has
elapse. But the devil is still pretty much around lively, if
not as ever - deadly.
For the most part, evil build the church as the church
established herself with more evils she produced for the
multitude to fear. In fact, both the church and evil have
always been in cahoots existing as faithful partners happy
together!
Now, my dear reader, if you wish to understand the nature
of evil in this world, just take a hard look at your church
existing for over 2,000 years. She's getting richer, more
powerful, and enjoying more authority and glory not due
to the elimination of evil in this world; but precisely
due to the multiplication of more and greater evils created
into this world. Our World.
I said it before, I say it again: if we truly hope to live
the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge
- especially for the sake of establishing a good and a happy
world for all mankind - it is time to dump the evil church
permanently out of this only precious world of ours!
We do not need a God out there for us to love one another down
here. We need only to love one another down here and that is
all that matters. Let us cultivate of our precious minds and
precious hearts through precious education. In this way, human
civilization becomes far more precious as compared to the
avoidance of a silly eternal damnation for the sake of gaining
a worthless non-existing equally silly eternal salvation. Poch

Atheism in the Philippines
If there were one true existing god, there should only be one true existing religion — and it's obvious that there many religions in conflict against each other. The theistic world is divided into several different main existing religions, - Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc each of which is divided into groups hating other groups. And, many of those are divided into even smaller groups.
The Christian faith, for instance, is divided into over 33,000 denominations. They have published some 88 different versions of the holy bible sold in the market today.
Atheists, on the other hand, stand always united. We do not hate or kill other atheists for not believing in the existence of God. In fact, hating and killing comes from belief; never from unbelief.
We Filipino atheists are so proud of the fact that no Filipino has ever become filthy rich for believing that God is bad. We are, however, so ashamed of the fact that millions upon millions of Filipinos are filthy poor and yet they all believe that God is good. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Matthew - Silly Inspired Author of God
“Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Matt. 10:30. Matthew could have made more sense had he been a circus clown and not a bible writer. It is, indeed, laughable also to believe that God inspired Matthew to write this kind of spiritual hogwash. Golly, we live on a speck of dust called earth lost in the immensity of space and time. Human life is but a split second long, a wink of an eye, a flash in the pan compared to the life of the universe. But, according to Matthew,the Lord seems to welcome divine anxiety for as long human stupidity will last as long as eternity? Isn't this nothing but religious insanity to sustain the existence of a silly divinity and to support silly deviltry? Poch Suzara

For manny amador
For Manny Amador,
If your God exists, tell him to come down and introduce himself
to me. And when that happens, do you really believe that I will
begin to believe, love, worship, and adore such a supernatural
monster?
The trouble with you is that you do not read and therefore you
have no idea of what's written in your own so-called holy bible.
Well, to begin with, why should you read anything since
you are already enjoying with much fear your faith in BLIND
FAITH?
And to think that amongst you - the faithfools - are the
teachers and the professors of our schools, colleges, and
universities. Mostly owned and controlled by the corrupt
politico-economic-clerico elite keeping the Filipino proud
and famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

When a loved-one shatters your dream, pick up the pieces and use
them to build bigger and better dreams. We must move on. Life must

The power of Ignorance
Everything in the Philippines is a failure; except ignorance. It is quite a success. Indeed, knowledge is power. In the Philippines, however, ignorance is even more powerful. Look how ignorance prevails In our sick country. However, as products of Catholic schools, colleges, and universities – look how in this already 21st century we still believe that after death there will be better world for all of us to go to. It is more popularly known as the kingdom of God in heaven. In other words, we Filipinos have no life after birth; we should only look forward to a real life after death. Hijos de tootie-frootie Y patooties - when are we ever to wake up in this God-forsaken country of ours? Poch Suzara
Religion of the Failures and the Losers
Jesus declared that the first will be the last, the weak will be the strong, and the fools will be the wise.
Jesus was not a friend of the victor, of the strong, and of the wise. On the contrary, Jesus was the prophet of the losers, failures, and the faithfools. Look at Jesus himself. He got crucified on the cross by men created in the image and likeness of His own Father - God?
Is it any wonder, crucified on the cross, Jesus cried out loud: "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST FORSAKEN ME?" Matt. 27:46. And to think that this is the same Jesus who bragged: "I AM THE WAY, THE LIFE, AND THE TRUTH." John 14:6. The same Jesus who declared: "I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE." John 10:30.

Our Failure as Parents
In this already 21st century, look at our Nation’s children – well-nourished, healthy, and loved in the minority; but in the majority malnourished, sick and unwanted and unloved. Nevertheless we still believe that children are all created in the image and likeness of a supernatural foreigner. Otherwise more known as God. Who, with a Virgin Mary, had begotten a Son name Jesus. Who died on the cross to save us not from the stupid devil, but to save us from our stupid sins. Poch Suzara

Just 4 Elements
According to science, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen
make up 96 per cent of the human body. The rest of the 4 per cent,
according to religion, comprises the soul, a thing created by God.
As to which God, or what is the nature of a soul – nobody knows!
It seems that in terms of space, the existence of the human body
is purposeless. In terms of time, human life is meaningless. The
sooner we accept these brutal facts, the sooner we can learn to be
happy, however, briefly, however temporary, happiness may be.
After all, in the end, nature will kill us all. Which only proves
that nature itself knows not what she is doing, or where she is
going. Poch Suzara

In This Life
In this short, brief, life, I have discovered down through the years,
that I always found what I was looking for. And I have always been
looking for happiness. I certainly found happiness; but as it turned
out, much to my surprised, I found something far more precious than
happiness: I found myself. Indeed, Socrates, the Greek philosopher,
said it some 2,300 years ago: “The un-examined life is not worth living
for man.”
How have I found happiness, and how have I found myself? For one thing
down through years of serious reading, I was able, first and foremost,
to successfully recapture the most priceless treasure stolen away from
me during childhood days in school – my most precious mind. Poch Suzara

Sick Life as Created by a Sick Creator
Life is a sexually transmitted disease with a mortality rate of 100 per cent. Since this is true, it must also be true that God, as the first cause, has got to be some sort of a sick creator himself.

at any time – the only thing sacred in this world - the power
and the beauty of a free mind.
No one has ever proved or disproved the existence of God. As
freethinkers, however, even if all sorts of evidences are presented

It is Truly Sad
It is truly sad, Pinoys and Pinays born of poor families existing in the
slums of our major cities. A few of them, somehow, by hook or by crook,
able to go to grade school, high school, and college. Then happily get
a menial job in the Philippines, and then even more happily get a better
job, with better wages, working in a foreign country. And yet, by and large,
they choose to remain poor, especially poor in spirit. They continue to
negate the reality that the greatest of wealth can only come from mental
health. Indeed, the worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and
heart. A great many of these well-employed Filipino workers overseas have
neither the interest nor the courage to explore and admit the horrors of
poverty still uncontrollably spreading in our poor and backward country.
Surely, they remit monies for their families back home. But I have yet to
hear from these college-educated Pinoys and Pinays lessons they learned
or their own ideas, explanations or the reasons why exactly foreign countries
are able to hire them. Why, for example, these foreign countries enjoy a
higher standard of education thus enjoy the pleasures of a higher standard
of living and thinking.
I too was born of a poor family. I also managed, somehow, to export myself
to live and work, for some seventeen years, in a foreign country. But never
was there ever a day in America where I was utterly thoughtless or mindless
of the plight of poor fellow-Filipinos I had left behind in the only
Christian country in Asia – my beloved country – the Philippines. Oh yes,
I love my country. Not necessarily for what she is, but for the potentials
she has to become too, one the healthiest, wealthiest, and the greatest
country in all of Asia. Poch Suzara
