The Death of Great Men
Death diminishes us all; especially the death of great men like the death of Jose Rizal. He proved himself most deserving to live the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Unfortunately, the mediocre and the Philistines had him executed. Then they told brazen lies about how Rizal died pathetic as a penitent Catholic. Poch Suzara
Pray for Us Sinners
We Filipinos are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia. Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, we Filipinos continue to pray to God to lead us not into temptation. As the losers in the fight against temptation, however, we have no other recourse but to pray also to Mary, Mother of God, to pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen."

Theologians
The theologians have often declared that wisdom comes only through suffering especially for the glory of God. Well, if this were true, then the souls suffering eternal damnation in hell are enjoying wisdom. While the souls enjoying eternal salvation in heaven with God are enjoying stupidity. Poch Suzara
Frank Sinatra
Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy. -- Frank Sinatra quotes (American Actor and Singer, 1915-1998)
For my part, I say, religion is man's greatest enemy. Well, the bible says we must love religion. I certainly do. The sooner, however, religion is dead, buried, and gone - I will love this enemy even more. Poch Suzara

Hope
Hope has its own trouble too. We just have to keep on hoping. There seems to be no end to it. For example, I still have an endless hope that one day before I leave this world, it will be a saner, cleaner, and a peaceful world. Poch Suzara
Conservatism
To add on to your sense of defeatism - none of the higher mental faculties are required for conservatism. The exact opposite of liberalism. As for me, in order to keep on generating the values of liberalism, I'd rather stimulate in myself and in others - the power and the beauty of intellectualism. Poch Suzara
God does not Exist
I have been asked: since I do not believe in the existence of God, why am I angry
at God? Well, I am angry precisely because there is no God to fix the problems and troubles of our world. But then again, in the ultimate analysis, if God exists, I should be grateful to God for having created me as an atheist. Poch Suzara

Health In What
We are told that health is the greatest of wealth. Perhaps, only in space, but not in time. After all, Life is so brief, short, and fleeting. In fact, the day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body.
In this connection, it has got to be some sort of a silly joke when we are also told that God created dying man in his own dying image and dying likeness. Poch Suzara
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
