Live each day - Steve Jobs

“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: ‘If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.’ It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” — Steve Jobs This is what I mean when I say let us try and leave this world a better place than we found it. Imagine Steve Jobs, an "educated" product of, say, De la Salle University. He was taught to love not this world, but to believe and to have faith only that there is a better world come after death. Therefore we need not improve or change anything around us. We must only learn to pray to: "St. John Baptist De La Salle pray for us. Leave Jesus in our hearts forever." Or, learn only to pray daily to God to "give us this day our daily bread and lead us not into temptation." Or, learn to pray only to Mary, Mother of God, to "pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen. Steve Jobs, an atheist, was one great example of what atheism is all about on this earth. He left this world a better place than he found it. Indeed, Steve Jobs was a great man. He had the courage to create beauty into this world where religion has only put horror. Indeed, to cover up the lies of religion is the business of cowards. The business of great men is to see them with inflexible clarity while thinking honestly, working nobly, and changing things around us sensibly, especially as a friend of science and technology. And in the degree in which we can all be great - this is the business of each one of us. Poch Suzara

The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus?

MATTHEW 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. MARK 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. LUKE 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 1THESSA 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the triumph of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Now could any of you college-educated Catholic bible scholars tell me which of these inspired authors of God is revealing the truth as to when exactly Jesus is coming? After more than 2,000 years of waiting - time has already elapsed! Poch Suzara

Jesus Omni-absent in the Beginning

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

What a declaration of original lies on top of biblical deceptions. Indeed, it is not true that God so loved the world, and that he gave his only begotten Son to save the world. Otherwise, if it were true, God and His son Jesus could have already straightened out first the needless mess with Adam and Eve deceived by Satan in the shape of the Talking Serpent in the Garden of Eden to begin with?

Indeed, to Satan we attribute every cruelty, crime and evil, but nowhere do we find a Satan more Satanic as God - the original creator in the Old Testament. Poch Suzara

King Midas, King Moron, Democracy

King Midas turned to gold EVERYTHING he touched. As a result, with nothing
but GOLD around him - he starved to death.

King Moron had nothing but FAITH in God for the people of his kingdom. As a result, King Moron transformed his kingdom into a cathedral - the tallest and grandest of monuments honoring nothing except human stupidity.

In the meantime, ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES - if our politicians in the government
were not corrupt, selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane - they are able, at least,
to easily get on their knees to pray to God together; but never, however, are they also able to act for our growth as a people and for our development as a nation all
together.

Oh yes, indeed, democracy in the Philippines has little to do with the power of
ideas and ideals. It has more to do with defending our silly beliefs and protecting our obsolete values down here especially for the sake of nourishing the power of the Almighty Divinity up there. Poch Suzara

Philippine Biggest Crocs

Published today Oct. 4, 2011 in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Letters to the Editor:

When will they catch biggest crocs

It is a miracle, isn't it? We could easily catch the biggest crocodile living poorly in our jungles; but we have yet to capture and put in jail the biggest crocodiles living luxuriously as government officials in our impoverished country. Poch Suzara

Sex Tours in the Philippines

We are all felt insulted by the US Ambassador Harry K. Thomas Jr for publicly saying
that "40% of foreign male tourists visit the Philippines just for sex."

This is, indeed, an ugly truth and the truth hurts. Well, if we Filipinos continue
hurting as a people, it is mainly because in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia - the "truth" especially the "revealed truth" goes marching on!

I am willing to bet my last bottom dollar that if, Ambassador Harry K. Thomas had instead declared that "40 % of the foreign tourists visit the Philippines just to pray to Mary, mother of God, to pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our
death - we would all immediately start a mass movement to get US Ambassador Harry K. Thomas be canonized an American saint even before he hits the bucket. Poch Suzara

The Republic of Mediocrity

In the Republic of Mediocrity, the man of thought is one who is considered to be a failure, a loser, a lost soul, a nuisance, or a Talking Serpent. I am most proud to be known as one such a man of thought; especially as I do habitually enjoy provoking my thoughts and those of others. The mark of a poorly educated man is that he hates lively analysis. He loves only the monotony of deadly paralysis. Sadly, however, in the Republic of Mediocrity, fucking is always more active than thinking. The power of thought is seldom stimulating. Hardly inspiring. In fact, thinking is something frightening. Indeed, we must only get busy fucking; never mind thinking. God will punish any one to everlasting fire who would rather be doing lots of thinking! In the meantime, I said it before, I say it again: Let us, with all the allegiance we can muster to become: a citizen of the Republic of Scholarship. In this Republic, every citizen has a constitutional right to get himself as thoroughly lost as he pleases; especially via the spirit of inquiry. Poch Suzara

Human Life is Precious

"Every one of us is precious in the cosmic perspective. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another." Carl Sagan. Oh Carl, I have no problem with any one who disagree with me. It is those lovable scoundrels, thieves, swindlers, liars, cheaters, deceivers, believers, and sick politicians in government always in cahoots with sick theologians of the church that I wish all dead and buried. No, I would kill them myself; but I should be most happy to read about them in the Obituary. Poch Suzara

The Greatest Failures in Life

The greatest failures in life are those who live with the right answers to wrong questions. The greatest success, however, are those who question everything as the answers, with few exceptions, in time, become obsolete. Only the few have the courage to question what has always been taken for granted. The many, always living in fear, question nothing. Indeed, they hate the power of thought. What they love is faith. Faith has the power to make people feel timid comfortably, if not feel lazy conveniently. In the Philippines, however, faith has been and still is quite a success. Faith is the engine that generates the failure of our values that promotes the success in what makes us the Sick Man of Asia. . . Poch Suzara

FREEDOM IN THE PHILIPPINES

We may enjoy anytime, anywhere in our sick society the FREEDOM of corruption, deceptions, degradation, perversion, confusion, illusion, extortion, temptation, falsification, imitation, erection, sensation, devotion, pollution, delusion, fornication, ill-sanitation, not to mention the circus-like freedom of investigation in aid for legislation... Never, however, must we ever enjoy the FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION; especially if you have discovered something truthful to share. The truth hurts. In the Philippines, however, the truth as revealed in the bible hurts even more! Therefore, if we expose the revealed Truth in the bible - we shall only be thought of as "atheist." "failure," a "loser," "a homosexual," a "lost soul," or one not "blessed by God" For my part, already known to be a failure, a loser, a lost soul, and an atheist, etc. - never do I dream of winning more new title attached to my name. But I feel proud when I am told that I am the "appointed Son" of the Talking Serpent. Wow, what an "honor." Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Fuicking Truth Against Thinking Truth

The Thinking truth is all about the search of the truth. The fucking truth is all about the TRUTH in the bible known as the "Revealed Truth" that has yet to
be REVEALED.

When Pontius Pilate asked: WHAT IS TRUTH - who amongst the inspired writers of God including the million of readers of the bible KNOW the answer?

Now you asked me what is truth to me? Well, among other things, simply this: SCIENCE takes you on a flight to the moon to prove the truth of TECHNOLOGY. RELIGION takes you on a flight to destroy buildings to prove the truth of THEOLOGY.

See what I mean about the FUCKING TRUTH against the THINKING TRUTH? Poch Suzara

Religion - the ORGANIZED marketing of fear

Blessed are the poor ( donate heavily ).
Blessed are the meek ( obey faithfully ).
Blessed are the humble ( don’t question authority ).
Blessed are the hungry ( make us rich until it hurts spiritually ).
Blessed are the merciful ( if you catch us fucking choir boys, let it go ).
Blessed are the pure of heart ( because your brains are switched off ).
Blessed are the timid, the cowardly, the fearful.
Blessed are those who give us their power and become our slaves.
Indeed, Blessed are the fucking truth, fuck the thinking truth.
Do not Think! Poch Suzara

Self-Discovery

There is a treasure existing that's far more precious than happiness. It is the discovery of one's inner self. Indeed, the thoughtless life is not worth living for man. It is not what you are or where you are that matters. It is how you are able to enjoy the power of thought that counts. Poch Suzara

My Beloved Teacher

After I was expelled out of La Salle high school some 60 years ago, I enrolled in the greatest of all universities - a collection of books. I decided to go on for life on an endless self-study course. I only had one teacher that I could love and respect - Bertrand Russell. With much joy and pleasure Russell taught me how, in life, I should aim high, so that if I missed, I won't be far below.

Well, my teacher Russell never knew it, but I already aimed that in this life, I will play a part in bringing down and out of my country - the evils known as Christianity. In this way, in case I missed, I could also play a lesser part in abolishing what keeps Christianity in complete control of the Filipino minds and hearts - schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines.

System of Education in the Philippines

It is mainly due to the power of education, especially during formative years in
grade school that inspires millions of Pinoys and Pinays to readily believe as true the childish claims of the religious leaders of our sick society. Such characters known as the Catholic bishops; Bro. Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; Bro, Eli Soriano of Dating Daan; Bro. Eddie Manalo of Tamang Daan; Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement; and the new face in the religious circus today keeping the Philippines spiritually poor and morally backward - Fr. Fernando Suarez and his Healing Rosary Money-making business.

Indeed, religion encourages human stupidity that culminates into social insanity.
And to think that we are all already born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid via our schools, colleges, and universities under the strict supervision of Christianity in the Philippines.

For with me, personally, to the end of my days in this world, I shall continue to brag with self-respect and dignity that I was expelled out of such commercial and/or religious enterprises otherwise more popularly known as the "system of education in the Philippines." Poch Suzara

Which is Better

Which is better: to become what we THINK, or, to become what we BELIEVE? Here is a hint for you: Any child during formative years in school can be frightened to BELIEVE in a lot of nonsense. Do you know that millions of college-educated Filipinos today believe that the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening as something true and real and not actually just an illusion? Indeed, these are the same millions of college-educated Filipinos who believe that God exist and will provide for them for as long they believe and have faith. I asked it before, I ask it again: God will provide such college-educated Filipinos with What? Poch Suzara

Faith in Human Stupidity

We Filipinos have been taught to believe that: a man of faith is more likely to be successful, loved, and respected in society than if he is a man of reason. So our college educated men and women including our corrupt politicians in government and our corrupt bishops in church take advantage of this mess by being even more faithful than how Catholic schools, colleges, and universities have twisted, distorted, indeed, molded them to be. In the Philippines, have we never heard of a faithful Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH while believing that God is BAD? And yet, right before our eyes, we see millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR while they have faith in a God is GOOD. Poch Suzara

Evils of Christianity in the Philippines

When the foreigners arrived here in the 16th century, we had the land, and they had the bible. Today in the 21st century, we Filipinos still have the bible and the foreigners own not only most of our land, but are also the owners of schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines. Not to mention the media. Such commercial enterprises continue to teach us Filipinos to be proud of our Christian faith. Especially for as long as we do not bother to read what’s precisely written n the bible. A book written not by Filipinos but written by foreigners – the Jews – the “elect,” God’s “chosen people.” My dear reader, I ask: have you ever wondered why we Filipinos feel so proud and lucky to be employed by foreigners right here in our own country? If not feel even more proud and luckier to be employed in foreign countries? In the meantime, a great number of poverty-stricken jobless Filipinos nevertheless feel so blessed by God as the bible declares: “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land." Also, "For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." Or even more socially disastrous, the bible warns - "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." On the contrary, when one allows one kind of fear to dominate him, he soon comes to be dominated by other kinds of fear also. Listen to our own Jose Rizal - arrested, jailed, and publicly executed for writing two book that shook the foundation of Christianity in the Philippines. He stressed the worth of the Filipino. He emphasized the fact that human dignity is a person’s worth, that which makes him stand above all other creatures. In his exchange of ideas on human rights and freedom with Fr. Pablo Pastells, Rizal said: “ Man’s dignity is precious to him. He carries within him a feeling of importance, a regard for his value and worth. When man ceases to value his dignity as a human being, he ceases to be a man. He forgets that nothing, indeed, is more excellent than humanity. . . Deprive a man of his dignity, and you not only deprive him of his moral stamina, but you also render him useless even to those who want to make use of him. . . Man in his self-respect; take it away from him and he becomes a corpse.” There is, indeed, something feeble, if not despicable, about a Filipino who cannot live his life unless sustained by the belief in deadly superstitions. Such as - one need not bother with poverty, disease, and population growth because God will provide. Or, that "blessed are those who are poor in spirit. They shall inherit the kingdom of God in heaven." It is time for us Filipinos to be receptive to the values of science and scientific way of thinking, and technology. Such values should help us extricate ourselves out of poverty by generating our intellectual growth as a people, and development as a civilized and a matured nation. It is also time to realize that we have been educated to only be amenable to more of the same blind faith in the Christian way of life. It has, indeed, turned out to be our worst enemy: faith kills the mind before other diseases kill the body. Faith is just another sacred word we have been taught to employ to justify a lazy mentality, rationalize our lack of creativity, if not to maintain and to support the ways of our sick society. So deeply rooted in the teachings of Christianity. The test of a true religion, however, has nothing to do with a holy book, or how Old or New are its Testaments. It has nothing to do with prayer rally part 1, 2, and 3. It has nothing to do with bombastic preaching delivered by real estate brokers devouring financial offerings from blind and ignorant Jesus followers. It has nothing to do with a pie in the sky or an ally in the sky. On the contrary, a true religion should generate human love and compassion in the here and now that binds the human family together in this precious life. Indeed, a true religion does not inspire stupidity or insecurity; neither does it encourage running away from the problems of human society. A true religion knows full well that the truth hurts, but knows even more that lies and deceptions are far more damaging and can last for a thousand years. As for me, an atheist, what have I to offer fellow-Filipinos in this biblically sick country of ours. Only one thing creative as it is constructive: I offer you the courage to take back what was stolen away from you during school days - the most priceless treasure in the world – your precious mind and precious hearts as Filipinos! In this way, we need no longer waste our time loving a foreign God up out there, and wasting even more time by hating one another down here! Indeed, our need to remedy the ills of our sick society is not only intellectual revolution, but the evolution of our precious minds and hearts to learn to become proud Filipinos. To be proud of our women. To be proud of our children. to be proud of our government. Indeed, to be proud of the one and only country we were all born into - the Philippines! The aim of Christian education in the Philippines has always been about the pursuit of learning for the "Greater Glory of God." Here, however, is how the bible describes God and the glory of his temper and his tantrum: "I will sweep away everything in all your land," says the LORD. "I will sweep away both people and animals alike. Even the birds of the air and the fish in the sea will die. I will reduce the wicked to heaps of rubble, along with the rest of humanity," says the LORD. "I will crush Judah and Jerusalem with my fist and destroy every last trace of their Baal worship. I will put an end to all the idolatrous priests, so that even the memory of them will disappear. For they go up to their roofs and bow to the sun, moon, and stars. They claim to follow the LORD, but then they worship Molech, too. So now I will destroy them! And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the LORD's guidance or seek my blessings." (Zephaniah 1:2-6) Today, throughout the Christian world, except in the Philippines - Christianity is tearing itself apart externally as it is collapsing internally. Today, throughout the Christian world, except in the Philippines, priestly authority and priestly respect exist no more or have been sensibly diminished. Today, throughout the Christian world, except in the Philippines, the superstructure of ecclesiastical privilege is tottering. Its fall is inevitable as its foundation has largely been based upon sacred lies and holy deceptions. It is time to educate ourselves to establish right here on our land a sane and a healthy society. It is time we promote in our country nothing but the beauty of common Filipino decency. It is also time to read properly and thoroughly the bible. In this way, as we begin to learn and understand just exactly how destructive bible messages have been and still are - we can begin to rock the Christian boat and courageously sink it. Poch Suzara

So-called Educated Pinoys and Pinays

To go against the dominant standard of thinking of friends, associates, relatives,
or most of the people you see daily is not only a sign of spiritual growth but also
a show of intellectual development.

In the meantime, millions of our youth in schools, colleges, and universities have their minds twisted and hearts distorted by being frightened to believe in a lot of religious nonsense. So much so that these millions of so-called "educated" Pinoys and Pinays are among the first to readily give credence to the fantastic promises made on Television by Bro. Mike Velarde of el Shaddai, Bro. Eli Soriano of Datning Daan, Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement, the evangelists of Iglesia Ni Cristo daily on TV, the religious morons behind the 700 Club of the Philippines. Not to mention the Catholic bishops virtually running the show in Congress endlessly deliberating on the HR Bill. Poch Suzara
