Conscience

Conscience is merely the combined product of evolution and education. Obviously it is an absurdity to follow your conscience when reason tells you that you are the sick product not of evolution, not of healthy kind of education, but sick via revelation. -` Poch Suzara

Atheists and Reason

We atheists have no faith; in fact, we have reason. Atheist do not believe in absurdities that encourages other atheists to commit atrocities. Indeed, have you ever heard of atheists hating and killing other atheists because they not believe in the existence of God? The Christians, the Jews, and the Muslims have not ceased hating and cutting each others' throats because to begin with, they all cannot agree as to what will happen to them after their throats have been cut.

The Leading Cause of Death

Indeed, the leading cause of death in this world has always been God himself. Look at the day we are born. It is the day we begin to live in a dying body. There are more disease micro-organisms existing inside our body during birth than there are people on this planet.

In this connection, I entirely agree with Bertrand Russell. he wrote: "Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to end, nor do thought and love lose their values because they are not everlasting." Poch Suzara

Scientific Materialism

We need not be troubled that science is materialistic. The materialism of science asserts its limits, not its universality. Its consistency of intelligibility; not
the perpetuity of stupidity.

The methods and scope of science remain within the world of matter. Anything outside matter is the business of silly religion – a euphemism for superstition. Poch Suzara

The Will to Believe

Bertrand Russell wrote: “What is wanted is not the will to believe; but the wish to find out which is the exact opposite.”

Indeed, if we refuse the will to find out which is the opposite, we will end up at best shallow-minded; but at worst – gullible, if not faithfully blinded. Poch Suzara

Far More Precious

Many people are so grateful to God for having been gifted With a “free will.” Unfortunately, these same people do not give a damn about something that is even
far more precious – having a “free mind.” Indeed, a free mind that’s able to formulate a powerful thought in order to change the useless ways of our world for
something more useful. Poch Suzara

Serendipity and Zemblanity

Serendipity is the unexpected discovery of something wonderful not sought for. However, I love and enjoy more the opposite known as zemblanity – the unexpected discovery of something deplorable not sought for. There are more lessons to learn
from zemblanity than there is from serendipity. Poch Suzara

Morality for the Atheists

According to Jesus, to be moral, a man must abandon his reason. He must force himself to believe that which he cannot understand. He must suppress, in the name of morality, any doubts that surface in his mind. He must regard as a mark of excellence an unwillingness to scrutinized religious beliefs to critical examination. Less scrutiny leads to more faith – and faith, Jesus declares, is the highest of virtues. Indeed, “unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 18:3). Children, after all, are gullible. They will believe almost anything. Well, we Atheists have a better sense of morality. Ours is not a deadly, but a lively way of life. We do good because it is the decent thing to do, and not because we will be rewarded later in heaven after death. To begin with, there is no such thing as life after death. Indeed, atheism is not the destruction of morality; it is the destruction of superstitious morality. Likewise, atheism is not the destruction of the joys in life; it is the destruction of the belief that the joys in life can only be achieved in another world. Atheism brings these ideas down to earth, within the reach of man’s mind and heart for the sake of living the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Atheism is not a mental disease; it is restored mental health – the greatest of man’s wealth - especially in a world gone mad with organized religions. Poch Suzara

It is Incredible

It is, indeed, incredible how many people believe that God is all-mighty, all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present, all-loving, and all-just, all-merciful, etc.

And yet, when they are confronted by an individual like me who does not believe in the existence of such a God – they immediately believe that I am either inane or insane; if not someone deplorable or despicable; or that I am a liar, a selfish moron, or some sort of a criminal.

They forget that atheism is a personal and a private matter. If there is a God – he should reveal himself directly to me via the Revealed Truth, and not revealed to me
by the theologians who never know not whatever they are talking about. Poch Suzara

Higher Power

No doubt, there exist a higher power. It does not, however, exist somewhere up out there. It exists right down here. It is known as the “human mind.”

Unfortunately, the human mind is the very first thing that’s mutilated, if not crippled during basic education. Especially contorted, if not twisted, to believe
in a lot of holy baloney. Poch Suzara

Infantilism

No one, but no one has the right to tell you what is the meaning or purpose of life. It should be your own responsibility, nay, your own adventure to discover for yourself such values. There is something feeble, indeed, a little contemptible about the presumption that somebody else (parents as in the case of children), (teachers as in the case of students), (ministers as in the case of followers), and indeed, (God as in the case of adults), has the responsibility to give your life meaning or purpose. Unless, of course, even if as you are already a grown-up man or woman you still wish to keep enjoying infantile pursuits for the rest of your life. Life is hard; but knowing not how to live your own life is not only harder, but useless especially if it is devoid of self-direction stuck with indecision. Poch Suzara

First Cause Bullshit

If God was the first cause of everything and God Himself was part of that everything – who or what caused God to exist? Here, however, is a deeper question: who or what is God? Where did God come from? Since there was a "nothing" before creation, how did God manage to exist as a nothing before He created everything? Poch Suzara

A Cosmic Joke

I was born an atheist. I shall die an atheist. Now what if it turns out that I am wrong? What if God does exists. Well, I have no objection, no qualms about it, whatsoever.

My problem would be if God turns out to be a Catholic, or Christian, or a Jew, a Muslim, or a Hindu, or a Tao, or what have you. I will never believe or have faith in such a mindless, heartless, and indeed - a good for nothing God - a worthless supernatural being.

Never, I will I ever love, worship, and adore a God created by men in their own silly image and silly likeness. All the great men and decent women I have met in world history never bothered to create such a silly monster called "God." Poch Suzara

Ignorance and Fanaticism

Ignorance and fanaticism are forever busy, and needs feeding. Shamelessly,
one feeds the other, faithfully. Often enough, this is also known as the
"love of God." Poch Suzara

Corruption and Christianity

Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 20:19:00 08/06/2010

Dear Editors

IF YOU steal small, you land in jail. If you steal big, you immediately qualify to run as a candidate for an elective government position. And when in government, if you steal bigger, you are promoted to a higher government position. In the meantime, look at the ongoing investigation of crimes committed by public officials. The investigation is not being done by policemen or by NBI agents, but by fellow criminals in or out of the same corrupt government.

Usually, the investigation goes on endlessly; except for one beautiful development. Via the priesthood industry, the criminals under investigation are forgiven by God for their sins and crimes. This is otherwise more known as Christianity than as a way of life in the Philippines. POCH SUZARA

God's Atheistic Angels

I love, worship, and adore God's angels who rebelled against Him. They were the original atheists who tried to reform the thoughtless, reckless, and indeed, worthless ways of God more known as God's divine plan. Poch Suzara

What on Earth is an Atheist

An atheist is one who creatively enjoys not the freedom OF religion, but the freedom FROM religion; especially as religion is mostly about fear and guilt to always morally and to financially support organized superstition. Now what exactly have we atheists to offer in exchange after we demolish superstition off people’s lives? Only this - we offer the return of the most priceless treasure stolen away from you during education: your own precious mind and heart; especially as a human being that you may learn to have more love and compassion for the rest of humankind not for what she is at present but for what humankind has the great potential to become in the future. Before he died at the age of 97, Bertrand Russell, mathematician, logician, a philosopher, and an atheist, wrote: “I cannot believe that this is to be the end. I would have men forget their quarrels for a moment and reflect that, if they allow themselves to survive, there is every reason to expect the triumphs of the future to exceed immeasurably the triumphs of the past. There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? I appeal, as a human being to human beings: remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death.” Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Letter to the Editors

Dear Editors,

Let's face it. Everything is a failure in the Philippines; except Christianity.
Faith in God is the only thing that's quite a traditional success in our country. Indeed, the only Christian country in Asia that remains poor spiritually, backward morally, infantile politically, silly culturally, empty historically, insane socially, bankrupt economically, and faithful criminally. Yours faithfully, Poch Suzara

Singapore and Metro Manila

Both are about the same size in land area. And yet, the population of Singapore
is 5 million people with a per capita income of $19,000 a year.

Metro Manila has a population of 12 million people with a per capita income of $1,750 a year.

In the meantime, we have religious morons in our sick society that continue to insist that we have no population problem in the Philippines; and, that our poverty is mainly due to our lack of spirituality, our lack of devotion to divinity, and our lack of faith in Christianity. All as a deadly result due to our lack of bible study as a daily necessity to be always in touch with our sense of loyalty for Christian piety.

I said it before, I say it again. In the Philippines there is nothing evil about embracing, perpetually, human stupidity. After all, human stupidity in our
blessed by God sick society is as everlasting as eternity. Poch Suzara

The Greatest Evil

An un-wanted pregnancy a great evil; but an un-wanted child is a greater evil. The greatest evil of all, however, is to be pro-stupidity when it comes to the necessity and the beauty of creating for ourselves a sane and a healthy society.

Our women produce three babies every minute of the day in the Philippines. That’s about 1.5 million babies added to our population yearly. Many of these babies are un-wanted by their mother or father. In fact, these un-wanted babies grow up a bit and then they are killed with ill-health, dirty sanitation, and malnutrition, if not mentally crippled by poisonous education.

If only our schools, colleges, and universities teach girls and boys that a hard intellectual ejaculation is much more creative or productive than easy sexual penetration - ours need not be a sick and an insane society. Poch Suzara
