Praying and Hallucinating

When you talk to God, it's called PRAYING. When God talks to you, it's called HALLUCINATING! The last time I talked to God and God talked to me was when I was 14 years old! Neither of us made any sense to each other at all. It was also the last time God and I ever heard from each other ever again! After which, I stopped bothering God and God also stopped bothering me. It has been a happy and a dignified arrangement - God stopped believing in me and I stopped believing in God. It is what I think of my stand as a decent human being gifted with self-respect and dignity and indeed, with intellectual courage to value not my "free will" but my "good will."! Poch Suzara

Kill the Church

Human intelligence will eventually kill the Church of all Religions. After all, religion has been based on nothing but self-imposed mendacity - plain and simple. Indeed, the same religion that encourages mediocrity to have faith in the perpetual horror known as stupidity that generates social insanity. Poch Suzara

Letters Written years Ago

NY,NY, 08 Nov 2011 Dear Helen: Pocholo Suzara is one Filipino who uses his Cognitive Powers as they should be used - logically and rationally. As a Filipino intellectual of the First Degree, he is a rara avis. He is more of a rara avis because he is not afraid of the naked, the brutal and the unvarnished TRUTH. Poch Suzara has earned his rightful place among the world's Great Thinkers. Mar Patalinjug My Dear Mar, Thank you for your great thoughts about me. Please rest assured that I have just began the fight. I am already 74 years old. I have a few years, perhaps a few months, or who knows a few days to live on this earth. But I will do my best to deliver the promise I made to myself when I was 14 years old - expelled out of La Salle high school: In the years ahead, I promised I will somehow play a role, a part, no matter how puny, or how insignificant in the ambitious task of bringing down the evil monster that's keeping us Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and morally frightened as a nation - the evil monster otherwise more known as Christianity in the Philippines. Established here since the 16th century. Indeed, it is not enough to rock the Christian boat in the Philippines. It is time that we sink it permanently out of its existence. Let us give our children and children's children a fighting chance to learn how to live the good life - one inspired by love of this world and guided by knowledge of this world. In this way, like the few of us today, they too will have found a purpose to leave this world one day a better place than we found it. Cheers! Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village, Makati city Nov. 9, 2011

We All Live in a Fucking World

When a man is sexually aroused, he gets an erection. The blood in his brain goes to his sexual organ. The same thing happens to his woman also sexually aroused - the blood in her brain goes to her vagina ready to be invaginated. In other words, replenishing the earth or propagating the human race – can only be accomplished by mindless fathers and thoughtless mothers enjoying sexual embrace devoid of intellectual profundity. We are all the masters as well as the victims of this biological complexity. Preposterous as it is. To think that we are all the result of mindless mating between mom and dad. We are all born not only wet, crying, hungry, bloodied, and uncircumcised, but also born like the way the animals are born - dirty and maladorous? But then again we are told that God gifted babies with a free will during birth. As if babies could be free to choose not to be born at all or to choose one's gender to be born a boy or a girl. Indeed, free will is a religious hogwash! Happy birthday greetings is based not on truth. No one is born happy. In fact, we are born like the animals are born ignorant which has nothing to do with happiness! In the meantime, the human world population today at 7 BILLION people is proof enough that we humans all live in a FUCKING world. Indeed, we hardly live in a THINKING world. It is, in this way, that we are destroying ourselves as humans - thoughtless and reckless as we are. We are destroying the only home we have in this world - the Planet Earth! Poch Suzara

The Real Atheists

There are one billion silly atheists in this world today. They are known as the "Christians" who do not believe in the existence of "Allah" the God of the Muslims.

There are also another kind of silly atheists in this world today. The 1 billion Muslims do not believe in the existence of the God of the Christians known as GOD.

As with me, I am the REAL kind of an atheist. I do not believe in the existence of ALLAH, the God of the Muslims. I also do not believe in the existence of the God of the Christian.

Life on this earth is so short, so brief, so fleeting, I find it utterly silly to believe in the existence of such silly GODS. Poch Suzara

All Great Religions

The great religions of the world have ALL been based on one great evil only: Loving a God up there for the sake of hating one another down here.

As for me, I thank all the great religions of the world, as much as I thank God, if any, responsible for the existence of such great but otherwise stupid religions that I WAS BORN AN ATHEIST AND I SHALL DIE AN ATHEIST. Poch Suzara

The Bible Declares:

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God." (2 Timothy 3:16)
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless...." (2 Samuel 22:31)
"And the words of the LORD are flawless...." (Psalm 12:6)
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless...." (Psalm 18:30)
"Every word of God is flawless...." (Proverbs 30:5)

For my part, I am happy and proud to also declare that I became an atheist because of the holy lies declared in the holy bible. Poch Suzara

The Power of Silly Prayer

Nov. 3, 2011
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Letter to the Editors
Dear Sirs:
To believe in the power of prayer is like believing that God up there will alter His Divine Plans formulated centuries ago to conform to our needs in this 21st century down here.

Again, saying prayers is equivalent to believing that the Philippines is governed by a Supreme Being who changes his mind if we Filipinos ask him in our prayer to do so.

Since Christianity arrived some 400 years ago - I have yet to see how exactly prayers have transformed our country into one of the most developed and advanced country of Asia? But here's what is even more ticklish: We are told that if we want to solve our problems as a people or solve our troubles as a nation - we must only pray. Now if nothing happens, we must only pray harder. And if nothing still happens, it is only because we do not know how to pray!

In the meantime, our children in school are taught how to pray. It is the best way to teach them how to seek fantasy solutions to real problems. But then again, if God were all-knowing, why should he be bothered with daily prayers? The encouragement of prayer promotes selfishness. People pray for that for which they have not labored or thought. Prayer also undermines the power of human intelligence. Prayer causes a weakening of self-reliance and a corresponding deterioration of character. In fact, daily prayers are among the most effective causes that keep us Filipinos poor spiritually, backward morally, impoverished economically, insane politically, not to mention empty historically.

The question I asked decades ago, I still am asking today: Is there hope for our country? Yes, with intelligent leaders? Never with stupid prayers! Poch Suzara

The Bible Thrown Out the Window

There is absolutely no information in the Bible that we can make any use of as we goes through life. The Bible is not a book of knowledge. It does not give instruction in any of the sciences. It furnishes no help to labor. It is useless as a political guide. There is nothing in it that gives the mechanic any hint, or affords the farmer any enlightenment in his occupation.

If a Filipino wishes to learn about the earth or the heavens; about life or the animal kingdom, he has no need to study the Bible. If he is desirous of reading the best poetry or the most entertaining literature he will not find it in the Bible. If he wants to read to store his mind with facts, the Bible is the last book for him to open, for never yet was a volume written that contained fewer facts than this book. If he is anxious to get some information that will help him earn an honest living he does not want to spend his time reading Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Kings, Psalms, or the Gospels. If he wants to read just for the fun of reading, to kill time, or to see how much nonsensical writing there is in one book, let him read the Bible.

I have said it before - there are not wise sayings in the Bible, or a few dramatic incidents, but there are just as wise sayings, and wiser ones, too, out of the book, and there are dramas of human life that surpass in interest anything contained in the Old or New Testament.

No person can make a decent excuse for reading the Bible more than once. To do such a thing would be a foolish waste of time. But my vehement objection to reading this book is, not that it contains nothing particularly good, but that it contains so much that is garbage for one's intellectual life. To read this book is to get false ideas, absurd ideas, bad ideas. The injury to the human mind that reads the Bible as a reliable book is beyond repair. I do not think that this book should be read by children, by any any Filipino less than twenty years of age, and it would be better for the Philippines if not a Pinoy or a Pinay read a line of it until he or she was fifty years old.

What I want to say is this, that there is nothing in the Bible that is of the least consequence to the people of this already 21st century. English literature is richer a thousand fold than this so- called sacred volume. We have books of more information and of more inspiration than the Bible. As the relic of a barbarous and superstitious people, it should have a place in our libraries, but it is not a work of any value to this age. I pity Filipinos who stand in pulpits and call this book the word of God. I wish they had brains enough to earn their living without having to repeat these lies and deceptions. The day will come when this book will be estimated for what it is worth, and when that day comes, the Bible will no longer be called the word of God, but the work of ignorant, superstitious men.

In the meantime, a great scientist/writer Isaac Asimov fearlessly
stated: "Properly read the bible is the most potent force for ATHEISM ever invented by man." Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell and the Truth

So why not reject and discard your COMPUTER machine? Throw it out the window. Atheist Bertrand Russell was one of the FATHERS of the COMPUTER INDUSTRY. It is embarrassing, isn't it, when I criticize Jesus in his own silly bible, I know exactly what I am talking about. I quote to you evidences as written in the bible. With you followers of Jesus, all you can say about Bertrand Russell is that he was unhappily married 4 times. But you never are able to point out to me how Bertrand Russell as a mathematician, as a logician, and as a philosopher wrote books filled with inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, atrocities, lies, contradictions, and deceptions. If you study the writings of Bertrand Russell, you will realize that if had made mistakes, where he was wrong, he spoiled the fun by pointing out the errors himself. In spite of all the logical and philosophical advances for which Russell is responsible of, and in spite of all the dark places which he has made plain, one is tempted to say a greater thinker would be somebody finding fundamental fault in his work. In fact, any subsequent philosopher worth his salt has to begin where he left off because, simply, it is impossible to be satisfied with things as Russell has left them. Listen to what Bertrand Russell wrote: "Without the capacity for mental solitude, none of the supreme achievements of human genius would have been possible." For my part, as a student of Bertrand Russell ever since I was expelled out of high school 60 years ago, I am fully aware that he was a man with a passionate hatred of folly and cruelty. But he also gave to others, to students like me, the courage, hope, and heart in the fight against such horrors. Thus, I would rather be busy studying, reading, writing, and learning as a thoughtful man without a wife than be busy with a wife at home or with tutie-fruties outside the home. In the meantime, indeed, we all spend our lives looking for the things we have missed during our childhood years. With me at home and in school - the truth. Poch Suzara

Pope Pius Poch Suzara

According to Catholic doctrines any layman can become the Pope. That is why I still have hope. Wait till I become the Pope. The first thing I will do is to dismantle
the VATICAN BANK and distribute the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS deposited in that bank to
the 1 BILLION poor CATHOLICS in all Catholic countries - specially in this only Catholic country in all of Asia - the Philippines - the poorest among the poor Catholics anywhere in this world. Pope Pius Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell and Jesus

It is ironic that Russell himself did not live a happy life. From all accounts, Russell lived a turbulent, bleak and joyless existence. Russell went through 4 failed marriages. Poch, is this the kind of person that you would idolize like a god? Ben Rivera Yes Bertrand Russell was married 4 times with 4 different women. He also had countless sexual affairs with women outside marriage, What about your Sweet Jesus? He was never with a woman. He was always hanging around with 12 men and washing their feet too. Is that the kind of wimp you love, worship, and adore as a god? Poch Suzara

God the mass murderer!

* 1 Chronicles 21:1-14 - god kills 70000 people. Why? David decided to take a census
(I guess only god is allowed to do that). * Numbers 16:35-49 - god kills 15000 people. Why? They were angry about an earlier incident where god killed 250 people who were burning incense without permission. * Numbers 25:1-9 - god kills 24000 people. Why? They were whoring around. * Judges 1:4, 3:28-29 - god kills 10000 Canaanites, Perizzites, and 10000 Moabites. Why? Just because, that's why. * Isaiah 37:1-36 - god kills 185000 Assyrians. Why? Their king and his men mocked god. * 1 Samuel 6:19 - god kills 50000 people. Why? They looked into the Ark of the Covenant. I can't even pretend to understand this one. * Amos 5:1-3 - god threatens to kill 90% of all Israelites when the tribe abandon him. Poch Suzara

Communism, Capitalism, and Catholicism

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Matt. 21:19 Well, in the Philippines, the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, we Filipinos, as faithful followers of Christ, sold our possessions to the rich. We are now the poor. In the meantime, the richest, most powerful economy in the world today is organized religion in general; the Catholic church in particular. At any rate, I take my hat off to the Chinese leaders of China. They are thinkers. They are not afraid to think. Decades ago, Chinese leaders asked: WHAT IF WE MERGE COMMUNISM WITH CAPITALISM? They did! Look at China today. Far more than having billionaires as individuals, the whole of China is a billionaire as a nation today. In the Philippines, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still arguing back and forth whether as followers of Christ we should continue to maintain our religious insanity together with political stupidity so that we will have more opportunities to please divinity; After all, we continue to believe in the promises of Christianity - such as that there is a better world to come after death for us poor Filipinos to enjoy eternal prosperity! Come on my dear readers - WAKE UP! Must we remain spiritually fucked one this earth as we will also be spiritually fucked as a people later after death with Jesus and his angels in heaven??

Death with Nancy

Nancy,

Please read your bible. See Eccl. 9:5 "The dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward for the memory of them is forgotten."

Nancy, I ask: After death, and our bodies and brains begin to rot - with what eyes shall we see, with what ears shall we hear, with what nose shall we smell, with what palate shall we taste, with what skin shall we feel, and with what brain shall we think?

Here is more for your thought: The day we are born is the day we begin to live in
a dying body.

Really Nancy, the most we should have is the courage to face what Bertrand Russell realistically put into thinking words: IF WE MUST DIE, LET US DIE SOBER, AND NOT DRUNK WITH LIES. Poch Suzara

Religion and War

Religion is big business. War is big business. As a matter of historical fact both religion and war have always been in cahoots together in the business of making money. Religion makes big profit selling salvation to the frightened. War makes big profit selling ammunition also to the frightened. Both the religion industry and the war industry are behind, if not the owners of schools, colleges, and universities. In the USA it is more popularly known as the Military-Industrial-University Complex,

For my part, I am proud to be against war: people killing people. I am a conscientious objector. I am also an atheist. I do not believe in the God of any religion. I do not care for divinity. I am only always on the side of humanity,

No doubt, religion makes men good; unfortunately, good for nothing. In the meantime, religion, like war, has nothing to do with life after birth. Only much
to do with life after death. As if there is any.

Indeed, after death, with what eyes shall we see? With what ears shall we hear? with what nose shall we smell? With what palate shall we taste? With what skin shall we feel? With what dead and decaying brain shall we be able to think?

In the ultimate analysis, both religion and war have always been the most successful and most profitable in the world of big business. The promises of
life after death sells like hot cake inside churches and cathedrals; and, in
the battlefield! Poch Suzara

Lost Marbles

I am told by the religious morons who are all thoughtlessly shocked at my thoughts to provoke your thoughts - that I have lost all my marbles. What I find amusing, however, is to see them gathering up, praying over, and then offering my lost marbles to God for the salvation of their own silly souls. Poch Suzara

Sick Man of Asia

Oh yes, I may be one Sick Man of Asia. However, I would rather be sick with my intellectual curiosity. No way, should I allow myself to be sick with stupid faith
in pontifical insanity.

Indeed, I would rather be sick with my intelligent questions than be sick with the stupid answers to questions that I was not even encouraged to ask during my formative
in La Salle grade school. Poch Suzara

Great Success of the Catholic Church

The fact that we Filipinos are the most sinful as a people, and ours is the most corrupt as a nation is proof enough that the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH is not a dismal failure; on the contrary - a great pontifical SUCCESS in the Philippines.

And to think that millions of Filipino Catholic sinners down here are waiting for the Second Coming of Jesus who was himself never baptized as a Catholic for the glory of a Catholic God in a Catholic heaven up there! Poch Suzara

Catholic Charity in the Philippines

After more than 2,000 years of Catholic charity, it would be great if you, my dear reader, could explain how, where, and when Catholic Charity has ever eliminated poverty out of any Catholic country in the world - like the Philippines - the only Catholic country in all of Asia since the 16th century. Indeed, how come we Filipinos, the only people in all of Asia who love and adore Jesus as the Son of God and yet, we poor Filipinos, the majority of us, recipients of Catholic charity daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - continue only to be getting poorer as a people, not getting any richer even as a nation; and even more ticklish, we continue to endlessly suffer poverty of the worst kind - the poverty of the mind and heart? Indeed, SMILE, God loves the Filipinos in the Philippines, but He needs MONEY!. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
