Useless Traveling is like Useless Reading

God sees our tiny world of hate and violence, pain, suffering, illnesses, diseases, poverty, and misery. If God, however, can still afford to feel good and happy with his creation, I can only say that such an all-loving and all-merciful God has got to be some kind of a supernatural monster, if not a divine Jerk! Now we are told God does not want to meddle by transforming this earth into a paradise because God does not want us humans to be like robots. Upon what stupid nonsense is this argument based upon? Any intelligent child can see how we humans, if we do not have to waste time and energy solving our silly emotional problems or dealing with our stupid religious troubles, we can, instead, devote our time and energy to traveling around other planets inspecting, discovering, appreciating the beauty of God’s entire creation, and not just what he had created on this tiny planet called earth. To think that earth is so tiny in that a million of such planet earth can fit inside the sun. We are told that Nothing is impossible with God. Well, how come it has always been impossible for God to have created humans to inhabit heaven, and not to inhabit this God-forsaken earth? In the meantime, traveling is like reading or even separating way from an unhappy school premises: it is utterly useless if one cannot change; indeed, the greatest discovery of all time is simply - finding one's SELF in this world. Leonardo Da Vinci wrote briefly: "One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of the great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he could not do." As for me, a Born-again atheist, I discovered that I need never be afraid of the power of thought; especially as falsely frightened into me by my religiously frightened silly teachers to believe in La Salle grade school and high school.

THE GOOD FOR NOTHING SILLY SOULS

Everybody knows that the truth is sacred; yet nobody knows what the truth is. The same goes for free will. Everybody knows the will is free; yet nobody knows exactly what the will is. We think ourselves free because we are conscious of our wishes and desires, but we are ignorant of the root causes by which we are led to wish or to desire. Now comes the soul. Everybody knows that the soul is immortal; yet nobody has the faintest idea of what the soul is. All that is known is that the soul must be saved. But if the soul were already immortal, it means that it is imperishable, deathless, and endless. Yet, we are constantly inspired to “save” our souls. But if the soul were already immortal, “save” from what? For what? After death, or even in life, what does it matter? Who needs it? But why even bother to save a silly soul? After death, what good is a soul without a body to house it or to contain it? If the soul can exist apart from the body, then what need is there to save it? Even if, or after, you do obey your priest’s or minister’s idiotic advice ( these guys are self-appointed expert in that field ) to repent all your sins, beg God to forgive you, etc., how can you really know that your soul has been “saved?” If Adam was the first “mortal” on this earth, and as the Christians claim, gifted with the first immortal soul, then whence came all the following billions of souls since Adam? From God? How, exactly? How do you know? God created everything? Well, if this were so, God must have created time and space too. Now where was God located before he created space, and when was it before God created time? As a matter of fact, what do we really know – not just think or imagine, but actually know anything about the nature of the soul? Not a dammed thing! Just for example: what is its length, height, and width? Color? Is it round, square, or triangular? Origin? Abode? Mode of locomotion? Has a soul been smelled, tasted, touched, measured, weighted, photographed, detected, or determined with any microscope, or telescope, or meter, or instrument of any kind? The truthful answer to these simple questions is: “We don’t know!” Then how in hell does anybody know that it even exists at all? And if the soul is non-materialistic, how can it “burn forever in hell” or “saved” – or even burn for just one single second – for that matter – it it’s not made of combustible matter? If God wants the soul saved, why doesn’t he just save it? He would know how if anybody does since “God knows everything.” You or I have no power to perform such miracles? Well, suppose it turned out to be true. That souls do exist. That a billion souls pass on to the next world every 25 years or so. However, in the thousands of years that man has existed in this world, God must already be fed up with saved souls here, souls there, and saved souls everywhere in heaven. The devil too must already be fed up with damned souls here, souls there, and damned souls everywhere in hell. Ah, what about the billions of souls too in purgatory on the way to heaven. Let’s not forget the billions of souls too in Limbo on the way to nowhere as neither God nor the devil couldn’t care less for sinless, nay, worthless silly souls of men. Poch Suzara

The Church has Always Faltered All the Time

August 11, 2012 Dear Maribel Ongpin, The Church could not care less about the quality of life. For the sake of saving souls, what’s essential to the Church is the quantity of life. The more souls there are to be saved, the business is better for the Church. Thus, the evils of family planning and birth control practice – the only way the Church stays in business for the accumulation of more wealth, more power, and more glory and authority. Yes, abortion is evil. Besides, it is no thrill to kill a baby inside the mother’s womb. It’s called murder; and murder is a crime. What’s more thrilling, however, is to let the babies be conceived, let them be born, let them grow up a bit, then give them a fighting chance, and then kill them. Kill them with malnutrition, filthy surroundings, rotten sanitation, parental neglect, diseases, or asphyxia from vehicular soot and lead. Indeed, many of the nation’s poor children play, trade, sell, eat and sleep, pee and poo, and God knows what else they do – in the streets of our major cities. What’s the Catholic purpose in being so overly concerned with babies not yet existing, and at the same time be apathetic with children already existing but also already sick and dying? Isn’t this the height of religious hypocrisy? If we do not abandon our children in the streets, we abandon them in school. There, for the most part, they are taught not to learn how to stand up to needs of the human race, but only how to faithfully kneel down to divine grace. How to seek a life of piety by ignoring knowledge and wisdom that should inspire them to carry on a decent and a healthy society. Indeed, for the most part, they only learn how to love divine grace up there by hating the human race down here. The Catholic church indeed, faltered, but not only sometimes, it does so all the time. Year in and year out. As the owners of more than 1,000 schools, colleges, and universities look how daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - the church teaches millions of Filipino students to follow and obey: - "LOVE NOT THIS WORLD (Philippines) neither the things that are in the world. If any man (Filipino) love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15. And since we are also taught to believe that there is a better world to come after death, we need not worry about tomorrow because with God's blessings, tomorrow will take care of itself. Matt. 6:34. Or, via the power of prayer - to believe that in order to escape God's wrath, we must only embrace not love of country, but love of divinity. In the meantime, the worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart. Such poverty is what our basic system of education has been and still is all about. Take a deep look at an average Filipino: He is more conversant with the life of a Jewish fellow popularly known as Jesus Christ than he is at home or familiar with the life and works of a Filipino thinker - Jose Rizal - one of the greatest of men this world has ever produced. And to think that what ails our sick country precisely comes from the teachings of the Catholic church. Look how millions upon millions of us Filipinos have been taught to believe that our Jose Rizal was a NOBODY compared to Jesus Christ - the Savior of our souls and the Savior of our country - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Isn't it time to figure out just exactly why, in our sick country, life in general can be characterized as the daily competition to be the criminal or be the victim of the criminals. Indeed, look how we Filipinos all love Jesus up there, especially by hating one another down here? And why not - since Jesus clearly preached: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethrern, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 Well, as if such horrors were not enough to keep us spiritually poor as a people and to keep us morally bankrupt as a nation, here are more holy messages from Jesus - our kind and loving Savior: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." Matt. 10:34-37 For my part, as a publicly-declared, openly-avowed humanist and a humanist is an atheist who cares, I rest my case! With my best wishes always, Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village, Makati City Pocholsuzara@yahoo.com 0916-572-4788

Was Jesus Crucified on a Cross or Hanged on a Tree

Listen to the truth as revealed in the bible by the inspired authors of God. Read what they wrote about what was written on the cross of crucified Jesus:

 This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. Matt.27:37
The King of the Jews. Mark 15:26
This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. Luke 23:38
 Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews. John 19:19

 One would think that there was only one cross, not four, and therefore only one inscription written on that one cross. However, in the book of Acts 5:30, Jesus was not crucified on a cross, he was hanged on a tree.

In Acts 10:39, strangely enough, it is also revealed as a truih: “And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, or in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree.”

Again, in Acts 13:29, it reads: “ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree. And laid him in a sepulcher.” And again, in 1 Peter 2:24, “Who on his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. In the meantime, St. Augustine was obviously not a critical bible reader. He wrote: “Nothing is to be accepted except the authority of scripture, since greater is that authority than all the powers of the human mind.”

As for me, in the last analysis, if it turned out true that the Jews crucified Jesus on the cross, I’d rather love, worship, and adore the Jews - God's Chosen people. They knew exactly what they were doing! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

We Are Blessed by God How and with What

The day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. If we live for, say some 80 years, while God has been existing for 80,000,000 years - we would have lived a split second long in comparison. We also live on a particle of dust called "earth" floating aimlessly in space and going no where in time. In this connection, I ask: Have you ever met any one who has been blessed by God? Blessed how and blessed with what? Have you ever met any one whose great grandparents are still alive with health and wealth because they have been blessed by God on this earth with the power of prayer? Poch Suzara

The Philippines Famous as the Sick Nation of Asia

Self-deception is the greatest tragedy of the Filipinos as a people. Theodoro A. Agoncillo, Historian For my part, I said it before, I say it again: The Catholic church with its wealth, power, glory, and authority has been and still is the greatest stumbling block that's keeping us Filipinos frightened from growing, maturing, and developing as a free, sane, independent, and a healthy nation in Asia. Poch Suzara,

Come You Guys - Come out Straight to the Point

Come on you guys - why not come out straight to the point? Why beat around the bush? Do we really need all these linguistic contortions from you experts? We Filipinos have never, never been educated to save ourselves by way of growing up as a thinking people and by way of developing ourselves as a working nation. On the contrary, we are only suppose to believe that this life in this world is only a transition to a better life to come after we are dead! And we frightened lunatics more known as Catholics, as products of schools, colleges, and universities in our own country still believe such holy lies and sacred deceptions in this already 21st century!

Only a Fool says in his Heart - there is NO God

The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good."Psalms 14:1 We, the wise, the brave, the free - the atheists - we say it to the world loud and clear. "The Fool says to himself, 'There is a God who cares even for fools like me.'" In the meantime, there was once upon a time when all men, women, and children throughout the world believed, loved, and venerated God; and the Catholic church ruled the whole wide world with total power, authority, and glory. Historians refer to it as the Dark Ages. In the Philippines today in this already 21st century - millions of Filipinos are still living in the DARK AGES! Via schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Catholic church. Catholicism is still pretty much in authority, power, and glory over the minds and hearts of millions of Filipinos. Jesus is believed to be our one and only Savior. To think that Jesus was not even born a Filipino. He was born as a Jewish child of Jewish parents in a Jewish land. To think further that Jesus was neither raised nor educated as a Catholic! And to think even deeper, Israel, the land where Jesus was born, was never converted like the Philippines to be a Catholic country. It is still - a Jewish State. In the final analysis, the fool who does not read the holy bible is the bigger fool. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Catholics Monks Behind the Knights of Rizal

Dear Manny Almario, Bob Bernardo, Would it too much to conclude that it was precisely catholic monks who organized the KNIGHTS OF RIZAL organization precisely to keep the real Rizal stay hidden away from the Filipinos as a people and as a nation? Indeed, to keep Rizal away from the world view to fully recognize him as a freethinker, atheist, freedom fighter, and a heretic? I have yet to hear one Knight of Rizal stand up and speak out loud and clear that compared to Jose Rizal, Jesus Christ was nothing but a Lilliputian! Something that a high-school expelled student already did in writing in this Jesus-freak country of ours - me - Poch Suzara

Our Freedom and Democracy Under God's Word

Aug. 6, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Manila, Philippines Letter to the Editors GOD'S WORD The Catholic church hierarchy urged our lawmakers to listen to God's word. (PDI, Aug. 6,2012). Especially in dealing with the RH Bill - the much-needed legislation to hopefully improve the quality of Filipino life in general in our poor and backward only Christian country in Asia. According to the holy bible, however, here are those words from God. We Filipinos, no doubt, have been faithfully following such God's word ever since Christianity was introduced into our shores some 400 years ago: “If anyone comes to me and does not HATE father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple."Luke 14:26 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." Matt. 10:34-37 I said it before, I say it again: There was once upon a time when all men, women, and children throughout the world believed, followed, and obeyed God and the Catholic church ruled with absolute authority. Historians refer to it as the DARK AGES. In the Philippines today in this already 21st century - we Filipinos are still living in the DARK AGES! Look how the Catholic hierarchy still have much to say as what laws must not be legislated by our lawmakers. Our lawmakers feel a sense of sin against God if they do not follow and obey the moral authority of the Catholic church hierarchy in our country. In fact, we too, as a people, feel a sense of shame if we show more love for our country down here. We must only always show love for divinity up there. Freedom and democracy in the Philippines is hardly a national beauty. Thanks to church authority it continues to be a historical mockery against the growth of common Filipino decency as a people; and, against the development of the Philippines as a decent nation. Yours Sincerely, Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village Makati, Philippines

The Religious War of GOOD against EVIL

"All religious systems enslave the mind. Certain things are demanded--certain things must be believed -- certain things must be done -- and the man who becomes the subject or servant of this superstition must give up all idea of individuality or hope of intellectual growth or progress." Robert G. Ingersoll Religion encourages stupidity and an insufficient sense of reality. Bertrand Russell Religious war against each other is not about GOOD versus EVIL; it has always been and still is about EVIL versus EVIL and EVIL has always won otherwise more popularly known as Christianity, Islam or Judaism - the organization for world-wide destruction and not the more desirable organization for world-wide cooperation via reconstruction.

For Those who Believe

"For those who believe, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not believe, no explanation is possible". Rev. Jaime Calero My response: In other words: DO NOT THINK. JUST BELIEVE.

Foal and Vulgar Language while we Produce babies

“In a world of superstition, reason is blasphemy. In a world of cruelty, sympathy is a crime, and in a world of lies, truth is blasphemy.” - Robert G. Ingersoll If I may add, in the Philippines, poor as we are as a people, and backward as we are as nation - we produced 3 babies every minute of the day and night. It means 1.5 million babies added yearly to our population growing recklessly. Needlessly. Uncontrollably. In the meantime, as the Sick Man of Asia, each time we say to each other - LET'S KEEPING ON FUCKING IN ORDER TO PRODUCE MORE BABIES IN OUR POOR COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE GLORY OF GOD IN HEAVEN - are we NOT using FOAL or VULGAR language that's more indecent to our already sick and indecent society? Poch Suzara

My Silly Vulgar Language

In school, my teachers always insulted my intelligence. This was some 60 years ago. Today it is still the same horror with teachers in school twisting the minds and mutilating the hearts of innocent children in school with prayers to believe in a lot of fantasy solutions to real problems. Problems that's keeping us spiritually poor as a people and morally bankrupt as a nation! Helen, my foal language on these pages is something petty, something amateurish, something that does no one any harm. On the other hand, indeed, the TRUTH hurts, but LIES are far more damaging and can last for a thousand years. Poch Suzara

I am Lover of Truth and a Freedom-fighter

I am 75 years old. Friends and relatives wonder why I am, as ever, still hostile against organized religion. Well, I am not friendly to disorganized religion either. As a lover of truth and fighter for freedom, I am against all forms of falsehood known as God, angels, devils, heaven or hell - the products of organized superstition. Such evils have always been historically powerful, influential, tax-exempt, and traditional in passing on to innocent Filipino children too young to defend themselves in schools, colleges, and universities. Well, old age, like any other age, is the time to struggle away from silly biblical revelation. It is time to be involved with intelligent evolution. Indeed, human life on this earth should be about the struggle for mankind to establish human decency locally and to enjoy terrestrial sanity globally. Indeed, to put away all that silly business of divinity in cahoots with deviltry. No doubt, it is a waste of time. I admit it is an impossible dream. But my dear reader, what about you - how do you waste your precious time? You are accomplishing WHAT in this God-forsaken world of ours? Brief, short, and fleeting as life is on this earth! I said it before, I say it again: instead of looking forward to a better life to come after death, it makes more sense to try and leave this world a better place than how we found it. Not in the material, but in the humanitarian sense. Otherwise, there will be no reason for our having lived. In the meantime, today may be the last day of my life. Whatever or however the case may be, I am, as always, still happy singing loud and clear - my favorite song: "For, what is a man, what has he got, if not himself then he has not, to say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who knees, the record shows I took the blows, and did it MY WAY! It is, in this way, under down-to-earth inspiration that I continue to be a man of courage, vision, ambition, and revolution. I have more than enough reason to carry on my lifetime struggle against the evils of education, nay, biblical revelation that have made us sick as a people and insane as a nation! Poch Suzara

I love Free Thought. I hate Free Stupidity

"The total amount of suffering in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. For most animals, reality is a business of struggle, suffering and sudden death." Richard Dawkins Nevertheless, for my part, as an atheist, I have every respect for all the lower forms of animals existing in the natural world. They do not make me sick - they have no faith in God. None of them pray to God to forgive them of their sins and crimes. They are exempted. Animals do not believe in life after death with God in heaven; or believe in life after death with the devil in hell. I envy the animals. They are not pretentious nor are they frightened of silly mysteries in nature. They need to have no faith in any of the great religions keeping our world messy as ever. In the meantime, I love free thought. I hate free stupidity! I love questions. I hate the answers as in time the answers become obsolete. I love education. I hate indoctrination; especially the kind that made us believe that what is BIGGER, TALLER, WISER, and GREATER, is not our family, is not our country, is not even the whole of humanity down here - but a SILLY JEWISH GOD up there!

Jose Rizal Monument

Jose Rizal standing only as a monument at the Luneta? What a mediocre way to love, honor, and respect the greatest Filipino thinker who was publicly executed by his enemy - the Catholic church. The same church still in wealth, power, and authority over the minds and hearts of Filipinos today in the Philippines. Jose Rizal's monument should be standing not at Luneta, but erected inside our minds and hearts. His science and scientific way of thinking should be what our schools, colleges, and universities should be all about. What we have, instead, is a Jewish fellow known as Jesus Christ - believed to be the Savior of the Filipinos as a people and Savior of the Philippines as a nation. I said it before, I say it again: if we Filipinos continue to be aimless as a people, and rudderless as a nation - it is simply because Jose Rizal's creative way of thinking has never been included as a major part of the foundation of our system of education. Jose Rizal stated it briefly: "Via my country's prosperity, I would like the Filipino people to become worthy, noble, and honorable." In the meantime, you Jesus-freaks, we Filipinos have only become unworthy as a people. We have also become ignoble and corrupt as a nation! Poch Suzara

Philippine Star July 25, 2012 I don't know about the rest of you Jesus-freaks, religious saps, - still frightened of the Lord in this already 21st century. For my part, I see the Lord as one who has not as yet made good his claim that he is the Savior not only of the Filipinos as a people, but also the Savior of the Philippines as a nation. As if, to begin with, a Jewish character of some 2,000 years ago born in Judea has anything to do with Filipinos born and enslaved by Jesus Christ's followers and disciples in the Philippines since 400 year ago!
