Beauty Queen Contest - Recycled garbage

It is really all about the same old recycled garbage. Thanks to our system of education, we Filipinos continue to get excited over the contest of beauty queens of the losers and the failures.

We have yet to learn how to get equally excited over the development of the beauty of our own natural resources - the most beautiful and most powerful of which is the Filipino brain. Poch Suzara

Is there Hope for the Philippines

Let us look at ourselves as Filipinos not as the masters of intelligent education, but only as the victims of malevolent indoctrination. Year in and year out millions of us Filipinos are on the same rudderless boat together. Our officials in the government just as directionless. They keep our country poor and backward. Especially to please the Catholic church - the owner of schools, colleges, and universities. Indeed, the religious enemy that sees to it that we must never learn to build tools that will help us build our minds as a people and hearts as a nation able to explore our own natural resources, especially the most powerful of natural resources - the human brain - the only way our country could achieve a higher standard of living via a higher standard of thinking. Is there is hope for the Philippines to extricate itself out of its historical quagmire? Yes, there is. It must first defeat its greatest enemy simply known as "Christianity" in general, the "Catholic church" in particular. Via ownership of schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines, they are places where we Filipinos learn to believe that life after death is far more precious than life after birth. Indeed, that there is a better world to come later. That the only things of true value are those found in the heavenly world of God. That our world, this world of Filipinos and nature and the flesh should be seen as low, depraved and worthless. Therefore of little importance to those of us with more faith in God. That this natural world is but a stopover on our journey to the next world. Therefore, the less attention placed on it and the more attention placed on God's kingdom - we can all look forward to our eternal salvation. In the meantime, the Catholic Vatican bank on this earth is far richer than the US Federal Reserve bank of America. I said it before, I say it again: With love in our hearts for this life, in this world, our world, let us stand on our own two feet, accept responsibility for our actions, and solve our own problems without needlessly confusing the issues with meaningless words, or with destructive Catholic teachings such as "love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of God is not in him." 1John 2:25 I am an atheist and listen to my atheist teacher - Bertrand Russell: "What the world needs now is not only love, but also the greater knowledge about the nature of love, in all it complexity." Indeed, "The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge." Poch Suzara

Painful Truth

Dear Consuelo, As a matter of historical fact, the painful truth is that our schools, colleges, and universities are still pretty much in the business of lies and deceptions. Such horror is keeping us Filipinos poor as a people and backward as a nation. Look how millions of our college-educated men and women are eager and prepared to migrate and be "employees" in foreign countries. More than 18,000,000 (million) Filipinos are now living and working in some 168 countries around the world. They are there in foreign countries enjoying not only a higher standard of living, but also a higher standard of thinking. A lot of them branded as "undocumented aliens" in such countries. But these overseas Filipinos are able to remit an average of some $10 Billion dollars yearly to keep afloat the Philippine economy. In the meantime, our government officials continue only to declare to the world that the Philippines is open for business to foreign investors! Indeed, open to take advantage of the business of corruption in our country. Whatever happened to the power of thought as basic in any system of education? Indeed, why is stupid believing far more important in our country than intelligent thinking? And why is faith in life after death far more precious than faith in life after birth in our country. When Catholicism arrived in our land in the 16th century, it had its bible. We had the land. Today, in the 21st century, we Filipinos have the bible, while Catholicism owns not only our land, but also is the owner of some 1,000 schools, colleges, and universities established throughout the Philippines. Oh Consuelo - as a product of La Salle education myself, I refuse to believe that we Filipinos need six years of grade school, four years of high school, and another four more years of college just to be able to learn how to pray and to love God up there while we are also being taught to hate one another down here! So much so that we even learned to hate to work for the growth and development of our own country - the country of our birth. Poch Suzara

Read Your Multiplication Table

Have any of you ever heard of the different versions of the MULTIPLICATION TABLE sold in bookstore? Indeed, the MULTIPLICATION TABLE is the perfect model of truth. It is precise, certain, and free from contradictions, inconsistencies, and absurdities.

In the meantime, there are some 57 different versions of the holy bible sold in bookstores today.

Well, think of it: The MULTIPLICATION TABLE was never formulated by inspired authors of God. So how come God could not inspire his bible authors to be just as precise, if not just as consistent and rational as the truthful authors of the MULTIPLICATION TABLE? Poch Suzara

Praying

Sept. 9,2011 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Sirs: After 4 centuries of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly prayers to God to "give us this day our daily bread," and to "lead us not into temptation," and prayers to Mary, Mother of God, to "pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death," how come the results have been nothing but only for us to keep on praying for more of the same old nothing? Praying is like rocking a chair. It inspires us to do something. But how come prayers have not, as yet, gotten us anywhere? We remain directionless as a people and rudderless as a nation? Indeed, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are only getting more famous as the Sick Man of Asia! In the meantime, when you talk to God or to Mary, the Mother of God it is called "praying." When God, or Mary, the Mother of God talks to you God talks to us, it is known as "hallucinating?" Poch Suzara

Jesus was also Born-again

It must be nice to be Born-again. But have you people tried GROWING UP first? Believe me, it is useful, applicable, and more to do with dignity and self-respect. Look at Jesus, He too was Born-again. At the age of 30 he was still a bachelor and living with his mom and dad and then got crucified on a cross while crying "FATHER, FATHER, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?" See what I mean by being Born-again? Poch Suzara

Jesus in our Insane World

We live in such an insane world that God had to offer his only begotten son to write not a sane book but only to get Himself crucified on a piece of wood. This, in order to straighten the mess out of our insane world. Well, that was more than 2,000 years ago and our world, especially in this only JESUS IS LOVE AND LOVE IS JESUS country in all of Asia has actually been getting more insane as ever, if not worst! But there is more to this fantastic "I SHALL RETURN" biblical promise: Millions of Pinoys and Pinays with college education from such Catholic universities like La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, Letran, UST, Assumption college, Miriam college, AIM, and also the University of the Philippines are all waiting for the arrival of Jesus to establish peace and prosperity in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

Catholicism, Capitalism, and Criminalism

Catholicism and Capitalism survived profitably together during these past centuries not because either have been successful in selling the truth; on the contrary, both have been dealing with nothing but lies, deceptions, and indeed, corruption. The
victims of Catholicism are called the "faithful" "obedient" or "devout." The victims of Capitalism are called the "customers" "clients" "employees" or "laborers."

Countries victimized by Catholicism or by Capitalism or by both remain poor and backward. Look at the Philippines. Still stuck as a nation not only with
Catholicism, not only with Capitalism, but also with criminalism.

We are even proud to address our rich and powerful criminals in the government as "Your Honor." Those rich and powerful criminals behind the Church, we address them as "Your Holiness."

Indeed, life in general in the Philippines can be characterized as the competition to be the criminal or be the victim of the criminals. This, while daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - we all feel blessed by God. Poch Suzara

Comment

Right on Poch! You have a darnd good point here! All these "Your Honor" and "Your Holiness" is total crap when applied here! And to think that we truly honor these people and bow and salute them everywhere! It would be so funny if it wasn't so sad

The Bible - Throw it Out the Window

You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, dead people raised back to life, and all sorts of magical, absurd, and primitive stories, and you are asking me to explain why there is something wrong with me as I say that the bible is a book that is best thrown out the window?

Sir, to label atheism as a psychological problem is a feeble, indeed, a laughable attempt to evade the real issue of truth versus falsehoods. Are your beliefs true? What reasons have you people to believe in the existence of God? Your dismal attempts to defeat my atheism by evading the power of thought reveals only one shameless thing: your contempt for man's ability to think! Poch Suzara

Politician and the Theologian

A good politician is quite as unthinkable as a good theologian. In the Philippines, however, if either were good, both are usually good for something; unfortunately, to accomplish for our poor and backward country - plenty of nothing. Poch Suzara

I love the Devil

When I got to be an atheist, I began to respect the devil more and more. He bothered me less and less; especially, during my childhood years - he was always leading me into temptation to always love, worship, and adore God . Poch Suzara

Big Business globally

To frighten and to disunite people, via religion, is big business. In the Philippines it is otherwise more known as Catholicism.

To divide and to kill people, via war, is also big business. In America, it is more known as freedom to protect or the democracy to defend - capitalism. Poch Suzara

The Power to Think

A man of faith is simply one who has lost the intellectual capacity to understand that what differs a man from the animal is his power to think. Indeed, the power to think strengthens not only the human character, but also sustains human dignity and self-respect. Poch Suzara

Nothing is at Rest

Everything in the universe is in constant motion. Nothing is at rest. In fact, life
is nothing but tired energy that nature thoughtlessly makes it believe that energy has found the time to rest. There is no such luck anywhere in the universe. Poch Suzara

Stupidity same as Infinity

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." Albert Einstein If I may add, isn't it sad that our schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines, for the most part, have been mostly about how to learn to have faith in human stupidity; specially for the sake of embracing, protecting, and defending Christianity otherwise more mysteriously known as the Holy Trinity. Poch Suzara

The Religious Morons

The religious morons cannot afford to honest with themselves. In fact, they can only afford to ignore the truth that an atheist like me is more familiar, more conversant, more at ease with the holy bible - their book. In the meantime, the religious morons are just reliable at parroting their teachers in school, if not parroting their silly Jewish savior as to what is anything childish, mindless or thoughtless. To think that the Jewish Savior of Filipinos never even attended grade school or high school. Even his 12 apostles were ignorant fishermen who never acquired college education. Poch Suzara

Human Civilization

It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly. Bertrand Russell If I may add, it is the wish of gaining eternal salvation after death with God in heaven, more than anything else, that prevents men from getting involved with the works needed to polish the growth and the beauty of human civilization. Poch Suzara

Jose Rizal's Enemies

What kind of men needed to see Rizal dead, discarded and forgotten? Were they men of reason, logic, science or philosophy? Were they avid readers, critical thinkers, or scientific investigators? Were they men at home with civilized humanity? No! On the contrary, Rizal’s enemies were the friends of blind faith: - the superstitious primitives, the sanctimonious hypocrites, and those indeed who were selfish, greedy, corrupt, stupid, and insane. Rizal’s enemies of a hundred years ago, are still the same enemies we have today. They are the ones insisting that it makes no difference whether Rizal retracted from his religious, political and philosophical principles or not. After all, they claim, that in the end, Rizal retracted and died not as a heretic, but as a penitent Catholic. What an infantile conclusion to bestow upon the greatest of Filipino thinkers who died for the freedom of the Filipino minds and hearts, and indeed, died for the liberation of our brutally Christianized country. Shame, shame, shame on you - the gutless, the thoughtless, the worthless! You who call yourselves “Knights of Rizal.” You who would not rise to defend the greatness of our national hero, but you would readily rise to defend first or to protect even up to the present the wealth, power, and glory of his insane enemies - the priest behind the Catholic Church. In the meantime, due to its teachings via schools, colleges, and universities the Catholic church still is in control of the Filipino minds and hearts. In this way, the greatest Filipino, Jose Rizal, is said to be a nothing compared to the bigger, taller, and wiser Savior known as the Jewish Son of God Jesus in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Births and Deaths in our World

How many deaths daily in the world? 160,000 deaths daily with about 360,000 new births daily to replace them. Which is why we have to end the population boom. It spells nothing but the stupidity of a global doom! Poch Suzara
