No matter who or what or where we are, male or female, poor or rich, married or single, atheistic, Asiatic, or just plain pathetic, bucolic, or even jesuitic as a catholic – each and everyone one of us, whether we like it or not, are the victims of mockery as generated by reality. Consider:
Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it.
Life terrestrially everywhere is all about such reality – birth, growth, death, and decay. It's all so mindless, directionless, not to mention utterly meaningless. Purposeless.
Short and brief and fleeting as life is, I would rather look into the Greek spirit of the ancient world: To find life beautiful and delightful to live in was the mark of a Greek spirit.
In the meantime, enlightenment is not something to achieve. It is something to experience. Poch Suzara

Poverty, Stupidity, Insanity as the Holy Trinity
Satan took Jesus to a mountaintop and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory in them, saying: “All these things I will give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me.” Matt. 4:8-9. . . Was Jesus such a mediocre fellow, a simpleton, gullible enough not to have questioned Satan? When and how did Satan acquire the legal rights and the Torren Titles registered to those kingdoms of the world?. . . In the meantime, think how well Jesus could have served as the king of kings. As the emperor of the world. Think of the brilliant and loving things he could have made happen with such power, could have ruled with such great authority. He could have created a social system to remedy poverty. Done much to equalize wealth. Established universal education. Instituted civil liberties. Brought peace among warring nations. He could done all this and, through such service, established global peace, tranquility, and sanity. He could have gone down in world history as not only the most powerful, but also the most wise, the most just, the most kind, and the most humane king that ever graced the human race. . . But no. Jesus, instead, declared: “Love not this world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” John 2:15. . . Thus, poverty and stupidity and insanity are one and the same holy trinity otherwise more known as Christianity; especially in the Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century.

Life With God in the Philippines
Let’s seriously look at the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia. In this already 21st, our country remains poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, infantile politically, insane socially, inefficient scientifically, and directionless nationally.
In our schools, colleges, and universities, we are all taught to have faith in God who so “loved the world (the Philippines) that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
In the Christian religion, however, is a strong message that rewards poverty, sickness, thoughtlessness, or anything that would put one in an inferior status. By the same token, self-esteem, self-reliance, competence, or anything that would put one in a superior status is belittled. God loves the humble, the meek, the inferior; but He is jealous of the self-sufficient. We Filipinos must never be self-sufficient lest we offend God. We must always play the role of the inferior and in turn, for living a submissive, mindless, frightened life is the promise that if we were good, especially good for nothing, we shall be rewarded later by God in heaven.
Since the 16th century, we have faithfully believed in Jesus, the Son of God, who preached: “Love not this world, ( the Philippines), neither the things that are in the world. If any man (Filipino) love the world, the love of the Father is not with him.” John 2:15
Christianity has had every opportunity to straighten out the mess in the Philippines, and yet, in this already 21st century, our country is only getting into a deeper mess - socially, politically, and economically. We seek drama and excitement. When we do not get satisfaction on some level, we create for ourselves the drama of destruction.
We are a nation of frightened believers. We have yet to seriously grasp the full impact of what it means to grow as a people and to mature as a nation. Corruption, hypocrisy, and indifference to truth are our national defects. It is incredible how so old a religion as Christianity should devote its influence to keeping the Philippines with no standard of honesty; only a standard for corruption. We solve our corruption problem with prayer only to find ourselves even more corrupt with more problems. Meanwhile, we are told again and again that God’s answers are wiser than our prayers.
In China, they have Chinese Gods. In India, they have Indian Gods. In Japan, they have Japanese Gods. In Malaysia, they have Malaysian Gods. In Indonesia, they have Indonesian Gods. But in the Philippines, however, we have no Filipino Gods. We have, instead, a Jewish God. As if we Filipinos have anything to do whatsoever with the God of the Jewish people in Israel – a foreign land.
In the meantime, today, if you try to give a bible to a Jew in Israel you can be arrested. Even an act of kindness by a Christian toward a Jew, such as giving a gift of food, can be interpreted as trying to convert the Jew to Christianity and can bring a 5 year prison sentence.
Now let’s take a closer look at Christianity in the Philippines. Let’s see where it has taken us as the only Christian country in Asia. To those capable of thought, it is so obvious that Christianity strives on guilt. Guilt, not love, is what Christianity is all about. For all of its alleged concern for the “poor in spirit,” Christianity does it best to generate spiritual poverty under social insanity.
Indeed, Christianity has been quite a success in our country. In exchange for obedience, we have been promised salvation in the afterlife. In order, however, to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity sees to it that we need salvation or that there is something to be “saved” from. It is, in this way, that we have been educated to believe that we are sinful and worthless in the face of God; or that we Filipinos are potential fuel for the flames in hell. Thus, Christianity destroys reason before it introduces faith, so it must also destroy our potential for growth and maturity so that we can value the concept of salvation – indeed, the so-called “better life to come after death in the kingdom of God.” No doubt, we all want to go to heaven. So how come none of us want to die?
Christianity has had vested interest in misery in our country. Of course, it is not called “misery.” It is not even called “suffering.” Instead, Christianity prefers to call it “sacrifices” in this life so that benefits may be won in the hereafter.
Through the notion that “sacrifice” is a virtue, Christianity has succeeded in convincing all of us that misery experienced through “sacrifice” is a mark of virtue. Social and political and economic misery become the reflection of morality – and conversely, growth as people and maturity as a nation become the reflection of immorality. Christianity does not preach - “Go forth and be poor and miserable.” Rather, it says, “Go forth and practice the virtues of self-sacrifice.” In the meantime, the richest, most powerful bank in the world is the Vatican bank. Its cash deposits are in the trillions of dollars.
Here are samples of inspired messages published daily in the Philippines. It is about the “virtues of self-sacrifice,” if not about being “poor in spirit.” They are also about what our education has been traditionally rooted upon – the preparation for immortality rather than the preparation for the responsibility of well-informed citizenry:
Nothing can compare the love of God.
To see Jesus will be heaven’s greatest joy.
Work that are done out of love for Jesus shines brightest in a dark world.
When Christ is the center of your focus, all else will come into proper perspective.
For the Christian, heaven is spelled H-O-M-E.
Each small step of faith is a giant step in growth.
The primary reason for living in this world is to reflect the likeness of Christ.
God’s truth uncovers Satan’s lies.
God’s answers are wiser than our prayers.
A heart in tune with God sings melodies of praise.
Worry is a burden God never intended us to bear.
We are more precious to Jesus than the costliest diamond.
The Christian’s race is not a competitive event but an endurance run.
Patience means awaiting God’s time without doubting God’s love
In the meantime, here are words from one of the greatest men this world has ever produced. He happens to be our national hero – Jose Rizal - the greatest of Filipino thinkers. He was publicly executed by Christianity in 1896 in the Philippines. In exact opposite of what Christianity teaches, Jose Rizal simply wrote: “I would like the Filipino people to become worthy, noble, and honorable.”
In clear view of the reality that human consciousness shapes a nation, I ask: where are the schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines that seriously teach Filipinos how to become worthy, noble, and honorable? Indeed, where are the Filipinos educated to achieve the greatest kind of freedom for our country – the freedom from the evils of religion? Poch Suzara

I was Told
I was told again and again that God's answers are wiser than our prayers. It is for this reason that I ceased praying to God like I did faithfully daily and nightly. I was then such a religiously frightened dumbstruck moron. Poch Suzara

The Devil In Charge of Hell
So hell is such a miserable and a terrible place for damned souls to suffer punishment forever and ever. But how come the devil is most happy, if not always joyful, in fact quite a success as God’s chief administrator of hell? Indeed, the devil properly sees to it that hell is a hot, well-lighted, well-managed place for God’s sake on earth as it is for His glory in heaven. Poch Suzara
Sick Bullshit
In this sick country of ours, as we are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia, Philippine Star newspaper has the sick gall to publish this more of the same divine sick bullshit: GOD'S GRACE IS IMMEASURABLE; HIS MERCY INEXHAUSTIBLE; HIS PEACE INEXPRESSIBLE. (Sept. 5, 2020). Why don't we add something more truthful - GOD'S CRUELTY IS DESPICABLE PERPETUALLY. Look how God keeps the devil still pretty much alive and kicking enjoying his FREE WILL.

Born Ignorant, Not Stupid
For the most part, school, colleges, and universities are places where students are frightened to accept answers to questions that they have not even raised. Thus, we are a nation of frightened believers; hardly a nation of courageous thinkers. We are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education. Poch Suzara
Human Happiness
For my part, I have found more peace of mind, indeed,happiness while writing my thoughts to provoke your thoughts in my Blogspot than, say, having a sexual relationship with a women while praying to God
r than just relating with others has encouraged me
to
ppy life; especially one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Oh yes, when we are in love, we want to tell the whole world about it. My Blogspot is a personal statement in how exactly I have been deeply in love while enjoying happiness in this life on this earth. Poch Suzara
God Not Needed
In his new book - "The Grand Design" - British Physicist and Mathematician Stephen says God is not needed for creating the universe. Hawking writes: "Because there is a law, such as gravity, Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist." I entirely agree. If there is a God, however, what we need him for is to straighten the religious mess out of this world often bloody in his name down here for his glory up there. After all, God may have created this world, but the devil has been it chief maintenance and keeps it going. Poch Suzara
Global Sanity
In this already 21st century, if we were to enjoy global sanity, we must all begin to realize and accept the fact that churches, cathedrals, mosques, temples, synagogues, and pagodas have always been and still are nothing but monuments to human stupidity.
If, indeed, God is everywhere, why do we need to hate and kill each other just to prove to each other that God is everywhere? Poch Suzara

We Filipinos
Indeed, if we Filipinos were to gain some ground in the race to achieve a higher standard of living and thinking - what we Filipinos need and need desperately is more intelligent science and sensible technology. We need no more silly prayer and stupid theology for the glory of a mindless divinity. Poch Suzara

Who in Hell
My father lovingly, tenderly, and enjoyably impregnated my mother in order to produce me. Now who in hell did God fuck in order to create me in his own image and likeness? Poch Suzara
If there is no God
If there is no God, why bother to be good? As a matter of fact, there is no God. That is why we have no other recourse but to be good; especially to be good not for nothing, but to be good for something. Otherwise, there is little reason for our having lived. Poch Suzara

Sex Education
Sex education in our schools, colleges, and universities? What a ridiculous proposal. Parents at home, teachers in schools, professors in colleges and universities must first acquire sex education themselves. How can they educate our youth on the subject of sex, and the greater knowledge of the nature of sex, in all its complexity, when they themselves have been deprived of sex education when they were acquiring so-called education in our schools, colleges, and universities?

Stupid and Blind
Jesus declared: “But those mine enemies which would not that I reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.” Luke 19:27
Well for a Filipino like me - to slay the enemies of a Jewish son of a Jewish God so that he will reign in countries like the Philippines – no way should I be silly to do such a silly thing. Not even for the sake of gaining a silly life everlasting. I refuse to be stupid and blind especially stupid in blind faith. Poch Suzara

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
