Must We Work Hard to Remain Stupid

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.” ― Benjamin Franklin... For my part, I was expelled out of La Salle high school because I refused to go on being taught how to remain faithful and stupid as a frightened Catholic for the rest of my life. . .

Sick Prayers to Begin and to End the Sick Day In the Philippines

ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES - not only here, there, and everywhere in our sick society; not only in churches and cathedrals; not only in every home; not only in the schools, colleges, and universities; not only the courts of law; but also in Congress and in the Senate - the day starts with a PRAYER... Then at the end of the day - there is more PRAYER; especially for the forgiveness of our being sick as a people, and for being insane as a nation... In the meantime, I said it before, I say it again, "God is not dead ... He is very much alive and is working on a much greater ambition to insure that the Philippines continue to stay permanently blessed as the only Catholic country in Asia in the centuries yet to come!

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

I have written many philosophical reasons why I became an atheist; but to put it simply, practically, I just got sick and tired of being sick and tired of being NOT the intelligent master of religion... I was only always the frightened victim of the whole religious mess! Poch suzara

Difference Between Education and Indoctrination

The difference between education and indoctrination is vast, but it is often subtle when the mind thinks of these two subjects... Education involves the seeking of facts, and learning about what is the truth, and what is not... Indoctrination is aimed at influencing people to believe in facts, without being able to back up these new found facts with anything but opinion... You can be indoctrinated into a political party, a cult, or a belief system... In fact, all of us are indoctrinated into a belief system as we are growing up... Whether our parents or guardians are open and understanding people, or if they are bigoted, and want nothing to do with anyone outside of their own race and affiliations, we are subtly indoctrinated into their belief system... As we grow older, many of us seek education in order to develop our own belief system... Education can be directly supported by data that is derived from facts... Indoctrination tends to use language that encompasses everything, referring to ‘all’, or ‘every’, as though the insights created are a statement of fact for each and every individual of a group... For example: ‘All democrats spend too much money.’ ‘All republicans are religiously oriented and bring the bible to work with them.’ You can’t support these statements of ‘all’ and ‘every’ without actual data... If you believe it, then it has grown from opinion to indoctrination... Education points out that there are different solutions, often to the same problem... Indoctrination poses the belief that there is only one solution to a problem... In Nazi Germany, the solution to growing economic problems was to exterminate all minorities and Jewish citizens, as though this was the only possible solution.... There was no room for any kind of secondary thought to the proposed solution... Education uses statistical analysis to encourage thought toward reasoning, and proposed solution finding... Indoctrination often uses statistics, but has offered no analysis of size, duration, control subjects, criteria, or duration of the gathering of those statistics. Thus, the statistics offered through indoctrination are simply misrepresented, and are used only to support the beliefs being posed... Any statistics that might dispute the beliefs are not brought to attention... Education is unbiased... It is founded in fact, and isn’t there to persuade anyone to come up with a certain belief... Education is development of one’s own beliefs based on the facts that are discovered throughout the process... Indoctrination has an agenda. It is used to encourage the embracing of another’s beliefs, and developing blinding and complete agreement with those beliefs. I said it before, I said it again: For the most part, million of children in school in the Philippines are not being educated... They are being indoctrinated; especially to believe in a lot of hogwash to benefit the officials of the CHURCH, and the politicians in the GOVERNMENT - both corrupt and always in cahoots together. Education in the Philippines has nothing to do with learning HOW TO THINK. It has only everything to do with learning WHAT TO BELIEVE. One can clearly see the results all around us - we are not a people of courageous THINKERS; we are only a nation of frightened BELIEVER more at home at being STUPID as FOLLOWERS than we should be INTELLIGENT as LEADERS!!. . .

The Sick God Down here

Even when all the experts agree, they may well be mistaken. . . [Bertrand Russell] . . . In the Philippines, even if 99 per cent of its population believe in the existence of God - they may well be mistaken. In fact, considering how millions of Filipinos have been twisted spiritually, distorted morally, mutilated religiously, not to mention as a nation always sickened historically - there is no such thing as a kind, loving, merciful, wonderful, and delightful - God up there! - - - There is only the sick God down here! - - - Poch Suzara

We are Made Stupid by Educatiion

Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education. . . Bertrand Russell . . . In the Philippines, however, via schools, colleges, and universities, we have been taught to believe that if we work hard at having endless faith in human stupidity, specially for the glory of Jesus on earth as he is in heaven eternally, - we shall have won eternal salvation after death in the Kingdom of God. . .

God Loves you and He needs Money

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. . . And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money. . . George Carlin. Indeed, after you give money to the church for God, you are then told to smile and to believe that "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God."

They are all Maka-Dios in Our Corrupt Government

"One of the penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors. The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - - - Plato. . . In the Philippines, we are governed by the corrupt in the Congress and in the Senate. What is even more amazing about these criminals is that not one of them is an atheist... in fact, they all believe, love, worship, and have faith in God. . . . specially the God who is always in the business of forgiving sins and crimes at any time committed in the government, by the government, and for the government - officials.

What If there is a God?

The death of a child newly born into this world is prove enough that there is no God as its creator. If there were, such a God is cruel and reckless and therefore not worth believing, respecting, or worth admiring... Well, for me, as I am an atheist, and already a senior citizen --- my own death coming soon will only prove that God does not give a hoot whether I believe or do not believed in Him... In the end, it seems that God would rather meet with me not while I am alive, but only after I am dead! Again, proving that God really does not know what the fuck He is a God for --- Indeed, what the fuck was God for as a God to those more than million Billion people who already lived and died on this piece of dust called "earth?" !

A Man of Character

Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation... Your character is what you really are; while your reputation is merely what you appear to be --- a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony! Indeed, a man of character is good for something. A man of reputation is good for nothing!... Poch Suzara

FUCK is the most colorful word in the English Language

Fuck is the most colorful Word in the English Language... by Who the Fuck Knows... Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "fuck"... It is a magical word which, just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate... In language, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories... It can be used as a verb both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John)... It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck),,, a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck),,, and adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John),,, or as a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck)... It can also be used as an interjection (Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary)... It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid)... As you can see there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word fuck... Aside from its sexual connotations, this word can be used to describe many situations::: 1. Greetings........."How the fuck are ya?"... 2. Fraud..............."I got fucked by the car dealer."... 3. Resignation......."Oh, fuck it!"... 4. Trouble............."I guess I'm fucked now."... 5. Aggression........."Fuck you!"... 6. Disgust................"Fuck me."... 7. Confusion............." What the fuck....?"... 8. Displeasure............"Fucking shit man..."... 9. Lost........................"Where the fuck are we?"... 10.Disbelief..............."Unfuckingbelievable!"... 11.Retaliation............."Up your fucking ass!"... 12. Apathy................."Who really gives a fuck?"... 13. Suspicion............."Who the fuck are you?"... 14. Directions.............."Fuck off"... It can be maternal........"Motherfucker!"... It can be used to tell time......."It's four fucking twenty!"... It can be used as an anatomical description............."He's a fucking asshole."... Lastly, it has been used by many notable people throughout history:... "What the fuck was that?" -Mayor of Hiroshima... "That's not a real fucking gun." -John Lennon... "Where the fuck is all this water coming from?" -Captain of the Titanic... "Who the fuck is gonna find out?" -Richard Nixon... "Heads are gonna fucking roll." -Anne Boleyn... "Any fucking idiot could answer that." -Albert Einstein... "It does so fucking look like her!" -Picasso... "You want what on the fucking ceiling?" -Michaelangelo... "Fuck a duck." -Walt Disney... "Houston, we have a big fucking problem." - The crew of Apollo 13... "Fuck you too, my dear Sirs." Poch Suzara - after getting expelled out of la Salle High school...

Silly Prayers Said By Silly People

God has editing rights over our prayers. He will edit them, correct them, bring them in line with His will and then hand them back to us to be resubmitted. - Stephen Crotts ... Oh God, my dear God, I asked it before, I ask it again: Aside from fucking around with our prayers, What the fuck else are you good for as a God? Poch Suzara

The Wrong God

Suppose you have chosen to believe and to have faith in the wrong God? ... Every time you go to church and you pray to the wrong God, you are just making the right God angry at you for having faith in blind faith. - (my version of Pascal's Wager.)... Now If God has spoken, why is the world not convinced?... Only the Sick Man of Asia in the Philippines, among others - are convinced that God has spoken; but then again - how come we can not agree as to what God said as nobody has taught us to understand the language of God!... In the meantime, I asked it before, I ask it again: If God created the Filipinos in His own image and likeness, how come we Filipinos do not believe that God is a Filipino God? We only believe that God is a Jewish God! Where is our sense of dignity as a people, and where is our sense of self-respect as a nation? Poch Suzara

I Never Lied to Any of You

"If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane." --- Robert Ingersoll Another word for "insane" is THE SICK MAN OF ASIA - the frightened men and women - educated products of schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Catholic church in the Philippines. Such frightened men and women are more terrified by harmless "vulgar language" than they should be more horrified by harmful "vulgar beliefs and vulgar values" keeping us Filipinos culturally poor and spiritually sick as a people; not to mention morally corrupt and economically bankrupt as a nation... Consider in this already 21st century... We Filipinos are still taught to believe that the Philippines has been and still is the one and only country in Asia that's been lucky enough to have always been BLESSED WITH CHRISTIAN VALUES AND BELIEFS by God and his angels from heaven through Christ our Lord down here on earth... Again, I say it with all candor, that the damage I have done in this forum by my so-called foal and vulgar language is so puny, so insignificant compared to the monstrous damage done to Filipino minds and hearts since the 16th century by the teachings of insanity in the Philippines more referred to as "Christianity." ...

We are All Sick and Dying

According to the Laws of Nature - we are all dying... After all, it's true, the day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body... We will all eventually be dead sooner or later... Oh yes, in this world, nobody is healthy, everybody is sick and dying... The faith-healers of the church including the doctors in the hospitals all make money by fraud, farce, and ceremony!... Indeed, here, there, and everywhere in the universe, there is only the law of birth, growth, decay, and death... However, in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century: aside from birth, growth, death, and decay, there is also the horrors of political stupidity that's deathless... It seems the horror is endless. Poch Suzara Twitter# Google# Facebook# Atheist#

Buy the People, Fool the People, and Fuck the People

In other countries enjoying real freedom and real democracy - they have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. In the Philippines government, it is more about FOOL THE PEOPLE, BUY THE PEOPLE, AND FUCK THE PEOPLE. I said it before, I say it again: PORK INA MO SA CONGRESSO. BABOY TATAY MO SA SENADO. HINDUT LAHAT KAYO SO GOVYERNO! Poch Suzara

Ignorance to Spread More Ignorance

“It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.” ― Jonathan Swift... Oh dear Jonathan, my dear Jonathan Swift, you are right on target. Learning in our schools,, colleges, and universities have hardly been about "education" but more about "indoctrination" - the training in WHAT TO BELIEVE, and not in HOW TO THINK... Thus, we have millions of college-educated Pinoys and Pinays all very proud of themselves not as intelligent thinkers, but only as stupid believers! ...

Truth-seekers or Frightened Followers

“Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos... Oh Carl, my dear Carl Sagan, most of my teachers in La Salle disagreed with me. They did, however, let me live but by first expelling out of high school... Well, ever since then, as a self-educated individual via the habit of reading serious books on science and religion - I gradually discovered that my teachers in school then were not really teachers... They were more like preachers; indeed, they were not truth-seekers, but a gang of faithful to Jesus frightened followers... Cheers! --- Poch suzara

Getting Angry is Good for your Health

Get it out: Getting angry is good for the heart, research has found... It may contradict common wisdom but getting angry is good for you it seems... The emotion actually reduces the negative impact of stress, according to scientists... It increases blood flow to part of the brain which is involved in experiencing positive feelings, a study has found... Researchers induced anger in 30 men with a simple laboratory method using 50 recognised phrases intended to aggravate... Before and immediately after the experiment they measured the subjects' heart rate, arterial tension, stress hormones testosterone and cortisol while scanning their brains... Dr Neus Herrero and colleagues said their findings, published in the journal Hormones and Behaviour, showed the left hemisphere of the brain became more stimulated... Dr Herrero, of the University of Valencia, said the left frontal region of the brain is involved in experiencing positive emotions, while the right is more related to negative emotions... The left frontal area also triggers 'closeness' which can generate happiness, whereas the right provokes withdrawal, fear and sadness... I said it before, I say it again: We Filipinos are historically fucked as a people and even more historically fucked as a nation because in our schools, colleges, and universities --- we have never been educated to get angry at the historical horrors needlessly happening to us as a spiritually twisted people and happening to us as a morally distorted nation!.. As a matter of truth, most of what we have been educated for is to know how to pray to Jesus to forgive our sins and crimes because all sins and all crimes, except the sin of blasphemy against the holy spirit, can be forgiven. In the meantime, here's Elizabeth Kenny... She says: HE WHO ANGERS YOU CONQUERS YOU... Oh my dear Elizabeth Kenny, millions of Filipinos are still a conquered people because in its schools, colleges, and universities - owned and operated by the Catholic church, - millions of us Filipinos are still being taught to believe that "ANGER" is one of seven deadly sins against God.
