Shame on You Editors

August 28, 2012 The Manila Times Letter to the Editors, Dear Editors: We are already living in the 21st century. It is incredible how you people still do not, as yet, clearly see that the one and only reason why we Filipinos in the Philippines continue to remain poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, insane socially, corrupt politically, infantile academically, degraded historically, and bankrupt economically - it is because the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century - has always been consistently BLESSED BY GOD! Today, your editorial reads: GOD BLESS CJ SERENO - AND THE PHILIPPINES. As if God has ever failed to bless daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly any of our corrupt government officials in the past and in the present! SHAME ON YOU EDITORS. Cheers!

There is Nothing Wrong with Filipinos in the Philippines

Aug. 24, 2012 Dearest Guys and Gals, I said it before, I say it again: there is nothing wrong with Filipinos in the Philippines except that it continues to be BLESSED by GOD with CATHOLICISM. Indeed, the trouble with the Philippines is that since the 16th century, today, in this already 21st century - she is still under the rule and domination of the Catholics, by the Catholics, and for the Catholics. Cheers! Poch Suzara

The Power of Thought

Ninoy Aguino said: "The Filipino is worth dying for." For my part, I should say: "The Filipino is worth thinking for." After all, there is nothing more worthy in this world than the power of thought that gives birth to the power of love and growth and development. Indeed, it is obvious: as a people, we are loveless; and, as a nation, we are thoughtless. It is what our schools, colleges, and universities have been and still are all about down here; especially for the glory of the next life with God in a heaven up out there! Poch Suzara

Life as More Precious than Death

Frightened believers tell me that they believe in God because it "gives meaning to their lives." Well, during my youthful years, I too believed in God. However, I hardly felt life's meaning; on the contrary, I felt the burden of guilt that crippled my mind and heart. The terror made me live uselessly like a frightened subservient moron. I only loved divinity up there. I did not give a hoot for humanity nor had I any kind of love for my country down here. Under the influence of great fear, like a good soldier, I had the courage to die gallantly in battle; but I had no courage at all to question what it was really that I will die for. In brief, RELIGION as the most important of all subjects - I was educated to never think for myself. In fact, I was warned to read not the bible. Well, as a teenager, I did. I began to see slowly and learned gradually the lies and deceptions - the illusion, confusion, and delusion that characterize our spiritual poverty as the Sick Man of Asia in the Philippines. In the ultimate analysis, I managed, somehow, to save my precious mind and heart; NOT my silly soul. Indeed, at the age of 14 I slowly began to appreciate not only the sanity, but also the beauty and the dignity of enjoying not freedom OF religion, but freedom FROM religion. We humans live in a world of extreme poverty, hunger, and preventable diseases. Today, in this already 21st century, more than TWO BILLION people are still without access to safe drinking water, without sanitation facilities. And to think that the bible says proudly that "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have life everlasting." John 3:16. And that in the meantime, we must only wait, like crippled faithfools, for the Second Coming of the Son of God Jesus who will remedy the ills of our historicaly blessed by God society? Poch Suzara

Death is not Temporary, It is Final

After death, even if one were still alive in spirit, I ask: 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 sexual organ shall we have sex; indeed, with what brain shall we think? In the final analysis, man dies entirely. We do not die partially. Nothing is more evident to him who is not delirious. The human body, after death, is but a mass of meat, incapable of producing any movement the union of which constitute life. We no longer see circulation, respiration, digestion, reflection, or declamation. Nothing is more natural and more simple than to believe that the dead man is no more. There is nothing more absurd than to believe that the dead man is still living. H. L. Mencken summarized neatly for all of us to clearly see: "Immortality is the condition of a dead man who does not believe that he is already dead." Poch Suzara Google# Atheist# Facebook# Twitter#

Daily Birth and Daily Death in this World

Aug, 23, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letters to the Editors Dear Editors, According to UN statistics an average of 360,000 babies are born each and every day in this world; and an average of 150,000 people die each and ever day in this world. One would think that God could have far more important things to do with his time and energy - like alleviating the historical troubles of Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century! God just busy daily creating babies in this world to live a life of poverty; and, to daily judge the poor souls of the dead to go to heaven or to go to hell - sounds so monotonous, so boring, so meaningless - like a broken fucking record! Sincerely, Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village Makati City 0916-572-4788

Catholicism in the Philippines

There is something greater, far more delightful than the separation of the Catholic church of the Philippines away from the Catholic Church of the Vatican and that is the separation of the Philippines away from Catholicism - the greatest evil monster that has kept us Filipinos spiritually fucked as a people and has been keeping the Philippines morally fucked as a nation. Indeed, it is incredible to realize that in this already 21st century we Filipinos are still waiting for the Second Coming of a Jew, the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ - to remedy the historical ills of our sick society? Poch Suzara

Birth and Death daily in this world

According to UN statistics an average of 360,000 babies are born each day in this world; and an average of 150,000 people die each day in the world. One would think that God could have far more important things to do with his time and energy than to create babies in this world to suffer and begin to live in a dying body and to judge the silly souls of the dead to go to heaven or to go to hell! And to think that this is the GOD we were all frightened to believe, to love, to worship, and to adore! What have we here - a supernatural monster? Poch Suzara

FILTHY POOR FILIPINOS BLESSED BY A GOOD GOD

Martin, I ask you and your gang of religious moron on these pages: HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER MET A FILIPINO WHO GOT TO BE FILTHY RICH FOR BELIEVING THAT GOD IS BAD? So how come millions upon millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR for believing that GOD IS GOOD? Come on, you frightened religious morons - GISING NA! Poch Suzara

shame on all of your Frightened Catholics

It is truly incredible, nay, despicable, in this day and age - scholars, historians, biographers, college professors, journalists, newspaper editors, and indeed - even the Knights of Rizal are all still pretty entangled arguing back and forth about Rizal said this or said that; or Rizal wrote this or wrote that; or Rizal retracted or never retracted; or Rizal married Josephine or did not marry Josephine; or Rizal promised his mother that he will once more embrace his Catholic faith or did not; or Rizal died not as a heretic but died as a penitent Catholic; or that Rizal believed in God or did not believe in God; etc, etc, etc. In the meantime, the evil monster that had Rizal arrested, incarcerated, and publicly executed - THE CATHOLIC CHURCH - is still here pretty much enjoying more wealth, more power, more authority, and more glory keeping us Filipinos spiritually FRIGHTENED as a people and keeping the Philippines morally FRIGHTENED as a nation. Indeed, among the owner of various types of commercial enterprises, the Catholic church owns and manages more than 1,000 schools, colleges, and universities established throughout the Philippines teaching daily, weekly, monthly,and yearly that Jesus Christ is not only Savior of Filipinos, not only the Savior of the Philippines, but also the Savior of Jose Rizal! I said it before, I say it again: SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON ALL OF YOU FRIGHTENED Catholics! Poch Suzara

In the World of Fear, Ignorance, and Lies

Dearest Et Al, In the world of fear and ignorance, a man of courage and intellect is look upon as the devil himself. In the world of lies, a man of truth is known to be vulgar, indecent, and in the Philippines he is referred as "pocholito"- a high school expelled student who never went to acquire a college diploma.

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#
