The sick man of Asia and Democracy and the 4 Gs

As the Sick Man of Asia, we would only vote for candidates into high government positions who have no other qualifications except that they have, going on for them - the (4) Gs: GOONS, GOLD, GUNS, and GOD. Indeed, general elections in the Philippines prove that all of the candidates are faithfool believers in the existence of God. There are no humanists among them as a humanist is an atheist who cares! Democracy in the Philippines simply means the the hatred of humanity, the love of divinity, and the worship of mediocrity. Poch Suzara

Reality and Truth

Truth is reality and reality is truth. Now the one and only reason why it is easier to observe reality than it is to find the truth is because of this enigma: Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the new embryo of a new reality that will replace it. In other words, by the time you know of a particular truth behind a particular reality that reality destroyed will have already been replaced by a kind of truth. Poch Suzara

I am an atheist, I Teach

1. There is no heavenly father. Man must protect the orphans and foundlings, or they will not be protected. 2. There is no god to answer prayer. Man must hear and help man. 3. There is no hell. We have no vindictive god or devil to fear or imitate. 4. There is no atonement or salvation by faith. We must face the consequence of our acts. 5. There is no beneficent or malevolent intent in nature. Life is a struggle against preventable and unpreventable difficulties. The cooperation of man is the only hope of the world. 6. There is no chance after death to "do our bit". We must do it now or never. 7. There is no divine guardian of truth, goodness, beauty and liberty. These are attributes of man. Man must defend them or they will perish from the earth. Poch Suzara

22 Problems of the Philippines

22 big problems
SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH By Ernesto M. Maceda (The Philippine Star) Updated December 31, 2011

President Noynoy Aquino has to work overtime in 2012 if he is to meet the expectations of the people and fulfill his election promises. The following problems are crying for solutions:

1. Lack of jobs; 3 million unemployed; 8 million underemployed. He promised to create 10 million jobs in 6 years or 1.6 million a year;
2. High prices of food and other basic necessities including rice, sugar, cooking oil, gasoline, LPG, pork, chicken, fish and vegetables;
3. Petty corruption in the bureaucracy including kotong cops;
4. Criminality all over the country with an epidemic of riding in tandem murders;
5. Environmental enforcement including assurance of clean air, clean water and adequately coping with the challenges of climate change;
6. Bad roads aggravated by the slow pace of construction of roads and bridges all over the country, with money being siphoned off by corrupt officials and contractors;
7. Lack of 66,000 classrooms, 112,000 teachers, lack of computers and IT equipment in elementary schools;
8. Deterioration of education resulting in low scores in national achievement tests, high dropout rate and only 20 out of 100 grade school students entering high school;
9. Lack of basic health services in rural areas with poorly understaffed government hospitals with old equipment and lack of medicines;
10. Lack of progress in the peace process with the MILF and the CPP/NPA/NDF. NPA attacks have stepped up nationwide.
11. The very serious problem of illegal drug use and drug dealing corrupting a wide swat of local officials and police officers.

Other pressing problems include:

1. Inadequate and poor airport services earning for NAIA I the title of the worst airport in the world. NAIA 3 is not yet fully operational;
2. Lack of potable water in many rural areas. Wells are drying up. Prices of bottled water have gone up;
3. Lack of transportation facilities in the rural areas with the high cost of gasoline and poor farm to market roads. Sea transportation besides being expensive is unsafe;
4. Unbridled population growth rate with the population now reaching 100 million;
5. Lack of post harvest facilities and insufficient irrigation systems;
6. Lack of electricity in 30% of the barangays;
7. Lack of potable water in many areas;
8. Lack of equipment in the AFP and also in the PNP;
9. Slow pace of legislature and judicial reform with backlogs throughout the court system;
10. A very bad jail system with frequent escapes happening and corruption pervading the jail management authorities;
11. Deterioration and shameful performances in Philippine sports, placing 6th in the last Southeast Asian Games.

Comment: surely Ernesto M. Maceda has the guts to enumerate the problems that's keeping us Filipinos aimless as a people and directionless as a nation. But he would not elaborate on the real monster, the real source of the problems that's keeping us POOR as a people and BACKWARD as a nation. The FACT that we produce 3 babies every single minute of the day and night or 1.5 MiLLION BABIES yearly. We are now 100 MILLION FILIPINOS IN THE PHILIPPINES. Around the year 2042 WE WILL HAVE GROWN TO 200 MILLION FILIPINOS all BLESSED BY DEVILTRY AS INSPIRED BY DIVINITY FOR THE SAKE OF NOTHING EXCEPT TO PROTECT, SUPPORT, PROMOTE AND DEFEND CHRISTIANITY.

HAPPY NEW THOUGHTS, NEW IDEAS, NEW TRUTHS FOR THE NEW YEAR

The greatest of wealth is mental health. There is nothing quite like it in all of nature. Conversely, the lowest form of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart. There is nothing permanent in this world. Everything is temporary. Except death. It is permanent. Nobody dies partially. Everybody dies totally. With our precious freedom, however, especially the freedom of the mind and heart, we must only face and the make the most out of this life after birth. Never mind life after death. There isn't any. There is no such thing as a hereafter since there never was, for any of us - a herebefore! If we wish to make the best of this world in the here and now - we should find more reasons to recognize and foster the power of science and the beauty of technology - all based, if not founded upon the power of thought in tandem with the power of observation as inspired not by free will, but simply - good will If, however, we only have hopes to carry on our stupidity for as long as eternity - then we might as well only continue to have blind faith in our silly prayers under silly theology otherwise more popularly known as "Christianity" in our poor and backward country! For my New Year's resolution this year, - same as last year and the year before that ever since I was expelled out of La Salle high school some 65 years ago: I RESOLVE TO LIVE THE GOOD LIFE - ONE INSPIRED BY LOVE FOR THE HUMAN RACE and TO HELL WITH DIVINE DISGRACE ALWAYS IN CAHOOTS WITH THE DEVIL'S EMBRACE!! HAPPY NEW THOUGHTS, NEW IDEAS AND HAPPY NEW TRUTHS FOR THE NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Let's Get to Know the real Jose Rizal

I said it before, I say it again: one can learn much about the real Jose Rizal not only by studying his writings; but more so by getting to know his real enemy - his killer, still here in control of Filipino minds and hearts via its schools, colleges, and universities - the Catholic Church. Indeed, the Catholic Church had Jose Rizal arrested, incarcerated, and executed and then even lied about him with a "retraction" story; in brief, that he died not as a heretic, but died as a penitent Catholic. Such retraction lie is still told about Jose Rizal by the Catholic church in the Philippines today in this already 21st century. Poch Suzara

Socrates Greater man than Jesus

Yes, Western civilization, with beauty and sanity at the start, unfortunately, in the long run got to be thrashed by Christianity for the sake of its big business at selling Jesus Christ as the Savior of the World and the salvation of man's soul.

Jesus preached: NEVER MIND TOMORROW. LET TOMORROW TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.

Socrates said: THE UNEXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING FOR MAN. Well,
how could we when in Catholic or Christian schools, during our formative years, we
were threatened to examine NOTHING but only to believe EVERYTHING.

I repeat Bertrand Russell: WE ARE ALL BORN IGNORANT, NOT STUPID. WE ARE MADE STUPID BY EDUCATION.

If I may say it myself, I say: WE ARE ALL BORN IGNORANT, NOT SICK. WE ARE MADE TO BE THE SICK MAN OF ASIA via OUR BLESSED BY GOD SYSTEM OF EDUCATION.Poch Suzara

Socrates on Top of Jesus

During his days Jesus cured diseases but not wholesale, only in retail. If Jesus
had, instead, cured diseases on a permanent basis, indeed, wholesale - by making not diseases, but HEALTH contagious, there would be no need for any one to build hospitals?

In the meantime, it was men like Socrates - one of the Founders of Western civilization who showed other men how to build a hospital to shelter the sick as caused by germs, viruses, bacteria - indeed, little deadly creatures created by God - the Father of the Savior of the world - Jesus! Poch Suzara

Jesus Christ - a Failure and a Loser

Jesus Christ, as the Savior of the world, was a failure; and, as the Son of God, he was a loser. He never saved the world, on the one hand; on the other hand, however, he only convinced billions of people to believe that after death, there is a better world to come. Nobody, however, but nobody knows anything about the existence of such a world to come after death. Moreover, Jesus never submitted to any one Road Map or Sky Map on how to go to heaven or to hell or to purgatory. As the Son of an all-knowing God, Jesus was a loser.

As the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ, never transformed the concept of war into
a better purpose and that is the - WAR OF GOOD AGAINST EVIL, and not what precisely has been going on historically since time immemorial - the WAR OF EVIL AGAINST EVIL. Poch Suzara

Ignorance as God

Ignorance, to devout Christians is something sacred not only because they do not
know; but because they do not need to know. Indeed, Christians have been taught to believe that to question its teachings, or try to learn something new and fresh is a serious offense against faith; especially in the mysterious ways of God Almighty on earth as God is in heaven.

I Hate All religions

My dear reader -Have you ever heard of atheists hating and killing other atheists for not believing in God? What about the religious morons? When will they wake up to stop hating and killing each other in God’s name and for his glory in heaven, or in Allah’s name for his glory in paradise? Look at the TROUBLES in the history of our world. It is mostly about Catholics against Protestants. Protestants against Protestants. Christians against Muslims. Muslims against the Jews and Christians against each other. Is God really that cold-blooded in perfection, lost in self-admiration, always hungry for scenes that have only to do with death and destruction? Whatever happened to the beauty of renovation, or the art of reconstruction, or the idea of rehabilitation? In the meantime, I find it so laughable with people who pretend to be so worried that I am against as I hate religion. What are you people trying to say - that only believers have the right and privilege to hate other believers; but I have no right to hate ALL religions? Especially since all religions in this world have been nothing but more of a divine disgrace for the whole of the human race? I said it before, I say it again: FUCK NOT ONLY THIS OR THAT RELIGION, BUT FUCK ALL RELIGIONS. Indeed, the trouble in our world historically has never been about A TRUE RELIGION AT WAR AGAINST A FALSE RELIGION; NO, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE ABOUT FALSE RELIGION AT WAR AGAINST OTHER FALSE RELIGIONS.

Filipino Famous as The Sick Man of Asia

333 years under Christianity and 45 years under Hollywood – close to 400 years of foreign domination, and 113 years of independence under Christian values and beliefs is surely enough for Filipinos remain, more than ever - famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Free Will Stupidity

If we were told that we have the free will to choose not to go to heaven or not to go to hell, but free to choose neither heaven nor hell - just to leave us alone - then you might say we do, indeed, have free will! I asked it before, I ask it again: What chances have our free will against God's will especially since behind God is the Devil's free will also? Free will is nothing but holy garbage cooked in heaven and in hell to frighten man with original sin. In the meantime, a pregnant woman has the free will to abort her baby boy or girl. Well, what happened to the FREE WILL of said Boy or Girl in the womb - have they been given the free will to choose not to be born by freely choosing to go along with mom's deadly plan? Poch Suzara

Talking Serpent

God could talk to Adam and Eve at any time, but would not dare talk to the TALKING SERPENT to behave himself? What kind of a SILLY GOD was God? Was God just as frightened of the TALKING SERPENT? Just as much as the religious morons are all frightened of the Talking Serpent today? Poch Suzara

Jesus Freaks

Jesus had neither the beauty nor the power to give any kind of meaning for my life in any shape or form whatsoever. It is what Jesus did to all of my love-ones, relatives, friends and associates, classmates and school-mates in school, indeed what Jesus did to all of my countrymen - all frightened as victims rather than be the intelligent masters of religion. Such Jesus freaks continue to keep our country poor and backward at the price too dear to pay: - the mindless surrender of the self via the mutilation of the intellect. Poch Suzara

Revelation - as Second-hand Old and Useless Information

God may have revealed the truth to Moses in the Old Testament; and may have revealed the truth to Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John in the New Testament. But until God directly reveals the truth to me, I have the right to reject such revelation. I do not care to participate in the Christian scheme of hand me down unreliable old and useless information. Indeed, revelation is a direct communication; it has nothing to do with second-hand or third-hand pass the buck childish information. Poch Suzara

Steve Allen

“It was only when I finally undertook to read the Bible through from beginning to end that I perceived that its depiction of the Lord God--whom I had always viewed as the very embodiment of perfection--was actually that of a monstrous, vengeful tyrant, far exceeding in bloodthirstiness and insane savagery the depredations of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Attila the Hun, or any other mass murderer of ancient or modern history.”
— Steve Allen, Steve Allen on the Bible, Religion & Morality, 1990

God is not a Catholic

I am a publicly-declared, openly-avowed atheist. Thus, in our faith-soaked society, I am told that I need to see a psychiatrist to assist me solve my mental illness, if not to remedy my neurotic rebellion against authority. In brief, I am considered a danger to society as I am an individual with emotional troubles without a God to guide me to be on the right path. What is more ticklish about this situation, however, is that to label atheism as a psychological problem is a childish, indeed, a laughable attempt to evade the real issue whether there is a God or not? In the meantime, I already visited a Catholic psychiatrist. He could not prove to me the existence of God, nay, he could not prove to me that God is a Catholic! Happily, after much lively discussion, my Catholic psychiatrist friend is now interested to borrow my books on atheism to read off my personal library. Poch Suzara

Winter Solstice Greetings

WINTER SOLSTICE GREETINGS The earth has spent more time orbiting the sun than all the religions, all superstitions, all of humanity, and even of all life itself. The Winter Solstice represents an actual astronomical event unlike superstition driven celebrations that occur only in religious imagination. The exact day of the winter solstice marks the end of autumn, just one point along the orbital path of earth. The energy of the sun and the fertile earth, along with the over 4.5 billion winter solstices that have occurred, allowed enough time for all of earth's evolution to happen (and to continue to happen). This puts the Winter Solstice in a far more humbling position than anything invented by humans. Considering that the earth also comes closest* to the sun during the winter, what better time to honor the sun than during the Winter Solstice. The festivals of the Winter Solstice celebrate the start of the new solar year and the beginning of winter. The fantasies of superstition have also used this astronomical event to celebrate Saturnalia, Yule, Christmas, and many other superstitious events. The unknown builders of Stonehenge in southern England constructed the megaliths at around 2000 B.C.E. which makes it at least twice as old as Christianity. It accurately predicts both the summer and winter solstices. In astronomy, a solstice occurs two times a year. During the Winter Solstice the sun appears at its greatest distance from the celestial equator, the great circle on the celestial sphere that occurs on the same plane as the earth's equator. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice occurs either December 21 or 22, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, and its noontime elevation appears the same for several days before and after the solstice. The summer solstice occurs either June 21 or 22, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Cancer. In the southern hemisphere, the winter and summer solstices appear reversed. It may seem contradictory that the earth comes closest to the sun during the winter and the farthest during the summer, but the seasons occur mostly because of the tilt away or toward the sun, rather than the distance from the sun. As atheists we do not celebrate the birth of Christ called Christmas. Instead, we celebrate the Winter Solstice. We do not care to celebrate man's capacity to believe; rather, we celebrate, all year round - man's great ability to think! After all, there is nothing quite like it in all of nature! . . .

Who Else has Heard of Jesus

There are 7,000,000,000 BILLION people existing on this planet earth today - HOW COME ONLY 1 OUT OF 7 people celebrate the BIRTH OF JESUS? How come, most Asian non-Catholic countries enjoy a higher standard of living and thinking? So much so these growing and developing Asian countries who never heard of Jesus are able to hire with bigger wages Filipino workers to wash their dishes, laundry their dirty cloths, drive their vehicles, cook for them, run their elevators, be janitors of their office and residential buildings, sweep their streets, etc??

What happened? How come these Asian countries never heard of Jesus who declared to his apostles in the HOLY BIBLE - a book written by inspired authors of God:

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. "Go ye into all the world and make disciples of all the nations in my name" (Matthew 28:19).

So how come in all of Asia during these past 2011 years only the Filipinos in the Philippines love, worship, and adore Jesus as its Savior and at the same time - the Philippines is way, way behind in the race to achieve the higher standard of living and the higher standard of thinking as a nation otherwise more known as the race for civilization?"
