Bertrand Russell On China

"I have come to realize that the white race isn't as important as I used to think it was. If Europe and America kill themselves off in war it will not necessarily mean the destruction of the human species or even an end to civilization. There would still be a considerable number of Chinese left; and in many ways China is the greatest country I have ever seen. It is not only the greatest numerically and the greatest culturally, but it seems t be the greatest intellectually. I know of no other civilization where there is such open-mindedness, such realism, such willingness to face the facts as they are, instead of trying to distort them into a particular pattern." Bertrand Russell wrote the above in 1921, Today in this 21st century already over taking America, we can all see China as a world power on the rise not because of militarization, but precisely due to the power of science and technology, and indeed, the power of hard work otherwise more known as industrialization.

Good Example versus Good Advice

"A good example has more value than good advice." Published today in the
Phil Star 1/11/2011.

Indeed, I entirely agree. However, why should God tell us how to raise our children when, by example, God himself, drowned His?

In the bible, we are told that God created the world in six days; and on the seventh day, God rested.

I think mankind would have enjoyed a more peaceful and delightful world if God had not rested, but instead, on the 7th day, God had compassion for what He had created? After all, compassion put into action is love and love has only to do with priorities; it has nothing to do with options. Poch Suzara

Thinkers Verses Believers

To be a thinker is hard. To be a believer is easy. To be a liar is even easier. That is why our world has always been ruled not by intelligent thinkers; but by the stupid believers always in cahoots with the stupid liars. Poch Suzara

The Sick Children of Asia

We Filipinos are, indeed, the Sick Children of Asia. Every day we pray to God to give us this day our daily bread and to lead us not into temptation. Poor as we are as a people even to fight strongly against temptation, we have no other recourse but to also pray to "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen." I said it before, I say it again: we are not the Sick Man; we are the Sick Children of Asia! Poch Suzara

The Death of Jose Rizal

The death of someone diminishes us all; especially the death of a great man like our Jose Rizal. He had proved himself most deserving to live the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Poch Suzara

The Search for God

What makes human life tragic? The fact that we shall never find searching for God
in this life. But to continue searching for God to no end in this life is, in the ultimate analysis, not only a holy baloney, but a mockery of what human life should be. Poch Suzara

Money and Honey

Man gives love in order to get sex. Woman gives sex in order to get love. All is fine and dandy as goes the story for the sake of human decency.

Trouble, however, arises when her man continues to give to other women more love for the sake of more honey. She too gives more sex to other men for the sake of more money.

For my part, I believe in the power of love. I believe it enough in the sense that to the woman I love, I wish her to be free, even free to be away from me. I wish her to go places in life and not just be taken for a ride.

In the ultimate analysis, love can only last for as long as the lovers mutually love a variety of things together and not merely love each other. Poch Suzara

Rizal and Which God

I am told that Rizal believed in God while he was being shot by a God-Blessed, God-inspired, and God-loving Firing Squad.

I ask: which God did Rizal believe - the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants?

Now in our schools, colleges, and universities we were taught ( by the killers of Rizal ) to believe and to have faith - that there is only ONE GOD.

Well, again, I ask: If it is true that there is only ONE GOD, why then would such GOD formulate in his First commandment: "THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME."

Again, I ask: Where did those other GODS come from: Which higher God created those other lower GODS? And which God did Rizal embrace while he was being shot to death
for the glory of which God in heaven or which God in hell? Poch Suzara

Silly Free Will

If you believe you have the free will to do evil, forget it. God already beat you to it. In the bible, God openly admitted: "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil; I the Lord do these things." Isaiah 45:7

Since God is here and is there and is everywhere and God created your future and determined your destiny - your free will becomes a mindless, if not a heartless, not to mention a worthless - void.

In the meantime, there is nothing sacred in this world. Not even free will, especially when free will is not real or useful or it dies even before it has a chance to really be free. Indeed, many of us believe we have free will because we are able to desire this or desire that. But we are not free to know why we are ever so ignorant as to where exactly our desires come from.

The holy Bible Baloney

Bible contents are recycled myths. It is not only essential that you throw your bible out the window. It is even more crucial that you cease to believe in the existence of supernatural beings. Indeed, they do not exist. If, however, they do exist – they are not worth believing. After all, supernatural beings have never directly introduced themselves to any one of us. We don’t even know if such beings were colorful, bright, radiant, shinning, or visibly luminous. We do know, however, based on Genesis, that if God existed during those ancient times, he was a black supernatural Being existing in pitch darkness. He had to create the sun to light up the gloomy darkness around Him, didn’t He? In the meantime, the inspired authors of God did not know that the world is round; but they knew that Joshua commanded the sun to stop. They believed that it is the sun that's moving around the earth. Nowadays, for the sake of the American economy - only the US Marines believe, protect, and defend the truths revealed in holy bible baloney. Poch Suzara

Social Progress and Improvements

Only upon the rejection of lies and deceptions, on the one hand; and, on the other hand, the elimination of falsehoods and delusions - can society progress and improve; especially with illumination via the power of education.

A good society is not enough. The endless growth and development of society is better. What, however, we must all do, however, is to create a society that is the best for each and every one of us. For all of its members, it is a never-ending daily duty and a yearly responsibility.

Unfortunately, in the Philippines, what we love more is not a healthy, but a sick society; especially for the sake of deviltry in heaven; and, on earth for the sake of a divinity - all rolled into one silly bundle known as Christianity. Poch Suzara

Only in the Philippines

Convicting and sentencing rich Pinoy criminals to jail is big financial arrangement in the halls of justice. Pardoning and Releasing the same rich Pinoy criminals out of jail is even a bigger financial business in the halls outside justice. Indeed, among the richest of men in the Philippines today are referred to "Attorney," and also, indeed, those addressed to as "your honor." Poch Suzara

Jesus

Jesus was born of a Jewish mother in a Jewish town. Mary, His Mother was never a Catholic. During birth, Jesus was visited by 3 non-Catholic kings. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist who was a Baptist, not a Catholic. In fact, Jesus was never raised nor educated as a Catholic. His 12 apostles were not Catholic. Indeed, the rock upon which the church was built was not a Catholic rock. The Catholic church was purely built upon sacred lies and other holy deceptions for the sake of what eventually got to be known as the biggest, largest, richest, and most powerful bank in the world today - the Vatican Bank.

What If

What if all the people you hate on this earth will be rewarded with justice to enjoy eternal salvation in heaven under the management of deviltry? What if, after my own death, I find myself in heaven in the company of my former teachers and professors and father confessor? No way, I say. I'd rather kill myself. Over my dead body should I want to mingle in heaven with such mindless bullies and heartless tuti-frutie-patuties. Well, What if all the people you love on this earth will be punished without justice to suffer eternal damnation in hell under the management of Divinity? What then? Poch Suzara

The Mess in our World

In this world of politics and religion, sin and crime, poverty and misery, perversity and stupidity, religion against other religions - happily, there is always something still to be grateful for. As for me, I am most grateful that I managed, somehow, with so much pain and confusion then to seriously excommunicate myself permanently out of the Catholic church to become an atheist. Poch Suzara

I am not a Catholic

I am a not a Catholic. I am a Filipino. As such I have the greatest love, respect, and admiration for our own Jose Rizal more than I do have; in fact, I do not have - any kind of love, affection, or admiration for that Jewish fellow born in a Jewish land some 2,000 years ago. His name was Jesus, the so-called Son of a Jewish God who was not even raised and educated as a Catholic in the Philippines. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Poor Pinoys

The vast majority of Pinoys are, indeed,a hard working people. That is, of course, if hard working means exactly the same thing as hard praying. Indeed, we Pinoys attach more reliability to praying than we appreciate the miracles of hard thinking while hard working.

After all, in our schools, colleges, and universities - we were taught to believe and to never lose faith with the Word of God written in the holy bible such as: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth' and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Sadly, however, as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, the vast majority of poor Pinoys are still waiting and waiting for the results of their hard prayers said daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly!

In the meantime, we consume without producing. We are spending without earning. We are praying without working. What a waste of precious time as a people. What a waste of precious energy as a nation. We poor Pinoys are still stuck with our silly prayers behind a silly theology; when we should already be growing as a people with science and developing as a nation with technology. Poch Suzara

Sins of the Priests

The more sins you commit and confess, the more the church profits by the steps you have to take to mitigate your punishment in Purgatory before going, eventually, to heaven. The system is convenient both for the priests and for the sinners. It is, however, silly to pretend that such a system inspires growth as a people and enhances development as a nation. In fact, what it does promote is the spiritually poor Filipino getting more and more famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Our Corrupt System of Education

In the Philippines, for the most part - schools, colleges, and universities are places where cheap souls are canned for eternal salvation in heaven. While precious minds are damned for eternal damnation in hell. Poch Suzara

We, the Poor Pinoys

The vast majority of Pinoys are, indeed, a hard working people. That is, of course, if hard working means exactly the same thing as hard praying. Indeed, we Pinoys attach more reliability by praying than we appreciate the values of working.

After all, in our schools, colleges, and universities - we were taught to believe, indeed, never lose faith in the Word of God written in the holy bible like: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth' and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Sadly, however, as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, the vast majority of poor Pinoys are still waiting and waiting for the results of their hard prayers said hourly, daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly!

In the meantime, we consume without producing. We are spending without earning. We are praying without working. Instead of struggling creatively against foreigners, we would rather compete against each other to achieve more of the same old nothing.

What a waste of precious time as a people. What a waste of precious energy as a nation. We Pinoys are still stuck with silly prayers behind a silly theology. At this point in time of Philippine history - we should have already grown as a people with science and should have already developed as a nation with technology. Poch Suzara
