My prayer when I was a little boy in school

"Dear God, please take care of my papa and mama, my lolo and lola, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends; and yes please also take care of me and my dog. Oh, please take care of yourself too, God. If anything happens to you, we're all gonna be in deep shit." Poch Suzara

The Mindless Surrender of the Self

I am told that since I am an atheist, I must be suffering from some kind of psychological conflict and therefore at the same time, I must be such a miserable fellow living a life without joy; a life devoid of love; totally deprived of meaning. Well, as an atheist, I find, on the contrary, that to label atheism as some sort of a mental aberration is a feeble, almost laughable attempt to evade the issue of truth and falsehood. The religious man or better said the superstitious man buys his beliefs at too dear a price: the mindless surrender of the self via the mutilation of the intellect. Thus, religious beliefs encourages stupidity, embraces insanity; not to mention welcomes anything idiotic politically or worst - accepts anything silly and infantile theologically. The religious sap who attempts to defeat atheism by degrading truth to childish emotionalism only reveals that they have nothing but contempt for those of us who have the courage to think; indeed, those of us who are never afraid to question traditional beliefs or worthless social and political values.

We Shall Never Find God

"The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it. It is not disbelief that is dangerous to our society; it is belief." George Bernard Shaw For my part, I said it before I say it again: We shall never find God in this life; and that is what makes life tragic. But to keep on searching for God - that makes life even more tragic. After all, even if we find God - so what? Nothing will change. Everything will remain the same. The birth, growth, death, and decay of all living things will be the same as usual. Poverty, human misery, social and political insanity will remain the same in world history. To think that I myself have wasted precious years out of my precious life in search of God! For others, however, to tell me that God will meet with me but only after my death - is to me the lowest of absurdity, if it is not the highest of ridiculosity! The holy bible agrees with me: "The dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward for the memory of them is forgotten." Eccl. 9:5 Poch Suzara

Meet with God as I am Atheist

After my death and it will turn out that I shall be meet with God, as an atheist - what then? Well, I will only ask God one simple question: "God, are you a Catholic? And if you are a Catholic, have you ever been Jesuitic?" Poch Suzara

I am Proud to be a Failure in our Sick Society

One would think that the lies, deception, graft, and corruption are the evils that should be remedied in schools, colleges, and universities. But how can that be when, to begin with, schools, colleges, and universities are commercial enterprises; hardly educational institutions. In the meantime, for getting expelled out of high school and have never taken a college course I am known to be a failure in life. Well, academically incapacitated to play a role in the lies, deceptions, graft, and corruption that's keeping sick our sick society - I am most happy and proud to be a failure in life. Poch Suzara

Rotten Product of Education

Behind every fortune is a crime. Behind every crime is a woman's behind. Indeed, in this world of lies and deceptions, graft and corruption - damned if you do, damned if you do not. And to think we are all the same product of "education" in schools, colleges, and universities. Poch Suzara

Poch Suzara - Insulting, Indecent, and Insane

In this world, our world, just because I am not afraid of death, but friendly with life, with beauty, with love, with laughter, with friendship, and make this place a beauty to live in with the rest of humanity in my mind and heart - I am known to be not only insulting and indecent as a man but also a failure, if not insane as a human being! In the meantime, I repeat: many profound thoughts or great ideas have been lost because men and women who had them were afraid to get kicked out of school, threatened, laughed at, fired from office, punished, jailed, or even be condemned into hell-fire for all eternity for entertaining such great thoughts! These horrors have been the fate of most of the great men and great in the history of the world. They changed and improved the ways of the world. Without them, the human race today would be existing like superstitious primitives. Today in this already 21st century, in the Philippines, we still continue to be poor and backward. In our schools, colleges, and universities - we are still educated to believe that to become frightened believers is far more pleasing to God than we if learn to come intelligent and courageous thinkers! Indeed, always afraid of criticisms, we Filipinos would rather say nothing, do nothing, and think of nothing. We leave everything to God as we have always been assured that God will always provide!

Atheist Dead and All Dressed up

I am told that a dead atheist is all dressed up but has nowhere to go. For my part, I arrived into this world naked just like the God who created me in his own image and likeness. Well, After I am a dead atheist, do any of you have high hopes that in meeting with God, I should be naked and not dressed up at all? Poch Suzara

Philippine Political Dynasties

In the inside of galaxies are the existence of black holes and white holes. In the inside and outside of Philippines political dynasties are the loopholes, rigmaroles, and the assholes. Poch Suzara

Fear and Ignorance and God

To surrender to ignorance and call it faith in God is really saying the same thing. . . Indeed, the Existence of God depends upon the existence of fear and ignorance: the fear of change and the ignorance of not knowing how to change. . . In the meantime, it is much easier to live in fear and ignorance than it is to live with courage and intelligence. The Catholic church has survived during these past 2,000 years because it has been easier for her to exist by spreading fear and ignorance and refer to it as the love of God. . .

Religion is the Only Business

Religion is the only business in the world where its customers are never right; in fact, always wrong. Especially since they have to pay for their sins; and they wish to save expenses while buying a seat in the kingdom of heaven to be with Jesus. Poch Suzara

Old Age - for Senator Rene Saguisag

Old age is not the time to wallow in the same old fear and ignorance; on the contrary, old age is the time to expose the lies, deceptions, graft, and corruption more known in the Philippines as "education." Indeed, education that taught us to contribute not to human civilization, but only to believe and to always have faith in divine revelation for the sake of winning eternal salvation; even if it means at the prize of social stagnation as inspired by political putrefaction. Not to mention ill-health and lack of sanitation. Poch Suzara

Separation of State and Church a Farce in the Philippines

The separation of State and Church in the Philippines has always been a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony. How could the State separate away from the church since the church owns the State? In fact, from the lowest court officials up to the Supreme court officials, and the lowest to the highest State officials are all educated products of schools,colleges, and universities own and operated by the church in the Philippines.

More Hogwash Revealed as Truth in the Bible

“Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Matt. 10:30. Matthew could have made more sense had he been a circus clown and not a bible writer. It is, indeed, laughable also to believe that God inspired Matthew to write this kind of spiritual hogwash. Golly, we live on a speck of dust called earth. It is lost in the immensity of space and time. Human life on this earth is but a split second long, a wink of an eye, a flash in the pan compared to the life of the universe as created by a silly divinity But, according to Matthew, God seems to welcome divine anxiety for as long human stupidity will last as long as eternity? Isn't this nothing but religious insanity in order to sustain the existence of a silly divinity and to support the existence of a silly deviltry that insures so much financial success for the priesthood industry?

The Truth versus Lies and Deceptions

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple. Oscar Wilde In our schools, colleges, and universities, we were always taught to believe and to have faith in the lies and deceptions more referred to as Divine Revelation. Especially as they masquerade as a religion, indeed, as the revealed truth; like in politics masquerading as nothing but the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Poch Suzara

Sick Prayers to Mary, the Sick Mother of God

In our poor and backward country, since the 16th century - daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - we Filipinos have been faithful with our prayers repeated over and over again. Look, however, at the results of our prayers for our country in this already 21st century: Millions more of us filipinos as a people today are still active and busy praying daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly; specially for the Second coming of the Lord to remedy the ills of our SICK SOCIETY as generated by our SICK SCHOOLS, SICK COLLEGES, AND SICK UNIVERSITIES - still teaching millions of Filipinos to continue praying to God for the salvation of who knows what - in this only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago. I said it before, I say it again: as a decent people in an endless search to create for ourselves a decent nation, isn't it time to dump our historically worthless, if not our utterly useless, nay, mindless prayers? And to think that what we have also been praying to God, and to Jesus, and to Mary, Mother of God, and to the saints to pray for us - to give us this day our DAILY BREAD, and TO LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, and TO MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, TO PRAY FOR US SINNERS, NOW AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH, amen! I ardently hope that in the centuries to come, our children and their grandchildren will be spared of this kind of mediocrity, stupidity, and insanity of which mixed together have given birth to the existence of the silly mystery behind the holy trinity.

The Truth Hurts, But Lies are Far More Damaging

Prove to me that God exist and I will prove to you that I will continue to be a devout and a faithful - humanist. A humanist is an atheist on earth who cares. I am more inclined to believe that extra-terrestrial beings from other planets arrived on this earth thousands of years ago, and they came to introduce to our primitive human ancestors the power of science and technology. Otherwise, if such extra-terrestrial beings came down to earth to save our silly souls away from eternal damnation, I said it before, I say it again: fuck that theological garbage inextricably mixed with ecclesiastical trash. Intelligence generates action wisely as in science. Ignorance enhances only inaction fearfully as in religion. In the conflict between science and religion, I am always on the side of science. Science is a self-correcting enterprise. I will never take the side of religion because it is always wrong; especially always mysteriously and maliciously wrong. After tens of thousands of years of religion, it has yet to make one simple discovery as a revealed truth to benefit, and not as a truth yet to be revealed. The truth hurts; but lies are far more damaging and the horror can last for a thousand years. Look at the Philippines - the only Catholic country is Asia since the 16th century. Today in this already 21st century - the Philippines is still being damaged with lies economically, socially, politically, culturally, indeed, historically - especially for the greater glory of Jesus on earth as he is in heaven and in hell.

La Salle and politicians in the Philippines

Indeed, in La Salle grade school and high school, due to my basic intelligence, my religious teachers all agreed to have me expelled since I struggled against them with questions; especially in what I refused to believe in blind faith. Well, my classmates and schoolmates were also gifted with basic intelligence, but our religious teachers successfully manipulated to get their basic intelligence degraded, twisted, distorted, and mutilated. You can see the results: with colledge degrees - some of my classmates and schoolmates are in foreign countries like in Australia lifting elevators, cleaning public toilets, driving taxis. Also here in the Philippines as governors, mayors, congressmen, senators, vice-presidents, and presidents of our government; not to mention the 4 great Lords: Drug Lord, Gambling Lord, Smuggling Lord, and Praise the Lord - since the the USA in cahoots with the Catholic church declared the Philippines as an independent REPUBLIC some 60 years ago! Bertrand Russell summarized it neatly: WE ARE ALL BORN IGNORANT, NOT STUPID. WE ARE MADE STUPID BY EDUCATION. Poch Suzara

Catholics fear not only darkness, but also fear light

I can understand why religious crackpots teach our children in school to always be afraid of the dark! It is big business for the church. After all, God loves us, but He needs money, especially to keep children and adults frightened of the dark! What I find perplexing, however, is how can college-educated men and women continue to be afraid of the light? Atheist Henry Ford said: "Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it." My mentor, atheist Bertrand Russell, explained why: "Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man." Poch Suizara

Catholic Charity in the Philippines

I asked it years ago, I ask it again this year: If you Catholics together with your Catholic charity organizations such as De la Salle University were serious, honest, efficient, truthful, meaningful, and indeed fruitful - how come in this only only Catholic country in Asia - more poor Filipino Catholics are only getting poorer?
