Faith Against Thought

Isn't it enough to see a garden that is beautiful without having to believe that there are silly gardeners of God at the bottom of it keeping it that way? . . . Well, isn't enough to appreciate the beauty of thought without having to believe that it is inspired by the existence of the silly devil? . . . Indeed, the thought that provokes thought is much more precious than the thought that is merely the silly reflection of stupid faith. . . After all, a man of faith is like a drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support; not illumination. . . In the meantime, the bible says: "without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. . . Hebrews 11:6. . . Excuse me, but in La Salle grade school, we were taught to believe that God exists here, exists there, and exists everywhere. Why then should I seek God who is already existing above me, below me, in front of me, and in the back of me, indeed, already existing around me? In the meantime, like damned faithfools, must we admire the blind theologian who says that one day, he was looking for a black cat that was not existing inside a dark room but found it? Poch Suzara

So There is No God, So What?

If God were all powerful, all-knowing, loving, just, and all-merciful, why is there so much pain, mess, and suffering in the world? Especially in the Philippines the only Catholic country in Asia! Well, for my part, I do not know why. All I know that if such a God exists, I do not care to love, respect, admire, and worship such a selfish, greedy, cruel, stupid, and an insane God. I do not even care to fear such a silly monster! No way. Over my dead body! I also think that for people to kill God in order to save God is the highest form of insanity, if not the lowest form of stupidity. . . Well, what if it turns out that there is NO God? What will it matter? Will it change anything? Of course, considering our fear inextricably mixed with our ignorance, we can always invent a God to make us feel there is always somebody out there who love us and who will save us! The God business therefore has always been big business. Among the richest organizations in the world are the ones selling what a lot of frightened people would readily be buying - Jesus - the Son of God, the Savior of the world! In the meantime, the Bible says God cannot change ( Numbers 23:19; 1 Samuel 15:29; Psalm 102:26-27; Malachi 3:6; Romans 11:29; Hebrews 6:17-18; James 1:17), and that he is all-knowing ( Job 37:16; Psalm 147:4-5; 1 John 3:20). But the New Testament teaches that Jesus did change and that he didn't even know the day or hour of his return ( Mark 13:32; Luke 2:40,52). How can Jesus be God if he doesn't even have these essential attributes of a God? Bertrand Russell summarized it fearlessly: "Religion encourages stupidity and an insufficient sense of reality. . . "We are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education." Poch Suzara

Public Office is Not Public Trust in the Philippines

“There are three types of lies -- lies, damn lies, and statistics.” ... Benjamin Disraeli... Int The Philippines, "public office" is not only public distrust, but opportunities to be corrupt... Thanks to lies, damn lies, and statistics; especially as such evils are the sick reflection of a sick system of education in our spiritually poor and morally backward country!... There is no such thing as love of country among Filipinos. There is only love of money down here for the sake of a greater of divinity up there. In the meantime, pubic office is a public trust. In the Philippines, there is no such thing as public office. There is only public trash since most of our government officials are never trustworthy. If they were trustworthy, they are subject to charges of graft and corruption under investigation. Poch Suzara ... Twitter# Facebook# Google#

God, the Devil, and the Filipinos

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:7-`10 Oh God, my dear God, for more than 2,000 years in the world, and for than 400 years in the Philippines, haven't we Filipinos been resisting the devil? Have we not been humble and always faithful to you living as Christians in this only christian country in Asia? So how come the devil is still around existing seeing to it that we Filipinos continue to be famous, more than ever, as the SICK MAN OF ASIA? Look how, as a sick people, we continue to pray daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly the Lord's prayer - "Give us this day our daily bread and lead us not into temptation..." Oh God, my dear God, never mind the bread. We are already used to not eating them. But when will you stop leading us Filipinos into temptation? I asked God before, but apparently God does not care to listen. I ask you again: What are you a God for? Specially for us poor Filipinos in the Philippines? The only country in Asia where far more churches and cathedrals have been established than hospitals and public libraries? . . . Poch Suzara

Oh Jesus, My Dear Jesus

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:20 Oh Jesus, my dear Jesus, ever since the arrival of Christianity during the 16th century, millions upon millions of us Filipinos in the Philippines have certainly been your faithful followers. Today, in this already 21st century, we still do live up to your commands - Specially as you stated: “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." Matthew 10:34-37 Oh Yes Jesus, even as we Filipinos are known throughout the world as the SICK MAN OF ASIA for your glory down here, we still do love you much as we are still anxiously waiting for your return to the Philippines from up there.

Our Savior Jesus and Yolanda Typoon

And when Jesus had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Matthew 10:1 Oh Jesus, my dear Jesus, we all know that since the 16th century youhad already saved the Philippines. You were able to convert her from paganism into Catholicism. . . Now how about saving the lives of millions of Filipinos in Western Visayas hit by the most destructive typhoon "Yolanda" ever recorded in world history? The Swiss, the Chinese, Americans, Japanese, Canadians, Australians, Germans, French, Canadians, Indonesians, Taiwanese; in fact, most member nations of the United nations have already arrived to help out donating food, water, clothing, shelter, and medicine! Not to mention millions of dollars in cash! Equipments. And a hospital ship with doctors, nurses, and surgical facilities from China! What about your apostles? When are they coming? Specially as they are gifted with power and authority from you to cure all manner of diseases? Indeed, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present of help in trouble. Psalms 46:1 I suppose you are much pleased with the officials of our government - they are out busy praying for more miracles from foreign countries to arrive. They are proud of the Catholic Pope also sending more prayers for the suffering victims of the monster typhoon reminding them of the words of Jesus: "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matthew 6:34. - "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Psalms 116:15 Poch Suzara

God and the Atheists

If there were no God, there would be no atheists. - - - G.K. Chesterton . . . Oh my dear G. K. Chesterton, I am an atheist only because my own teachers in school, friends and associates in society, and relatives at home never knew what or which GOD everybody is always talking about; specially as God is suppose to be existing here, existing there, and existing everywhere? Indeed, instead of being always omni-present, only always omni-absent. . . Moreover my dear Sir, you are such a sanctimonious hypocrite, if not a frightened religious sap. If there were no atheists, who else will have the intellectual courage, nay, the common sense to tell the whole world that religion is nothing but sacramental dogma, pigma, and hogma that have never inspired the development or even the refinement of the medulla oblongata!. . .

God? Which God? What God?

Sen.

My Dear Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, which God are you referring to? There are so many known Gods. . . There is God, the Father; God, the Son; God, the holy ghost; God, the Money - the God of the politicians in our corrupt government.

The Lesson We must all Learn from TYPHOON YOLANDA

The lesson we all must learn as Filipinos from the Typhoon monster "Yolanda" - our Japanese Tsunami, our American Katrina: --- No doubt, there was 10 per cent malice; but there was 90 per cent gratitude. . . Indeed, help, tons of help came from humans known as Americans, Japanese, British, Canadians, Australians, Germans, French, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Indonesians, Scandinavians, especially the Swiss citizens, etc. because of, if not due to, their sense of common humanity. There was no sign of divinity anywhere whatsoever. No God and his angels, no Jesus and his apostles, no saints of the church. It is time for all of us to fully recognize and to fully acknowledge that there is something far more precious, more useful, and more meaningful when it comes to our common sense of, and for humanity. It is time to dump useless, worthless, and meaningless divinity! After all, the hands working and helping are always much more reiable and trustworthy than the lips praying! . . .

Education In the Philippines

It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results. . . Bertrand Russell . . . Oh Russell, my dear Bertrand Russell, in the Philippines, the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century, schools, colleges, and universities mostly own and operated by the Catholic priesthood industry - the only hope taught to us millions of Filipinos to believe and to have faith in is the hope of the better world to come in the kingdom of God after death. . .

Our Unholy Faith as Inspired by Messages Written the Unholy Bible

"The content of the Bible must be brought in contact with the world." . . . Philippine Star, Nov. 18, 2013. . . Indeed, especially to be in the contact with the millions of Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Christians country in Asia since the 16th century. . . Here, however, are some of the countless examples of the dogma, pigma and hogma - holy filth revealed as the revealed truth in the holy bible as written by inspired authors of God: Ezekiel 9:5-6 “Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women.” Isaiah 13:16 “Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.” 1 Chronicles 20:3 “And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes.” Psalm 137:8-9 “O daughter of Babylon, you destroyer, happy those who pay you back the evil you have done us! Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock.” Numbers 31: 17-18 “Now therefore KILL every male among the little ones, and KILL every woman (female) that hath known man by lying (having sex) with him. “But keep ALIVE for yourselves all the GIRLS and all the women who are VIRGINS.” Numbers 31: 35 “And the Jews salvaged for themselves 32,000 virgins” 1 John 2:15 "Love not this world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Eccl 1:18 "For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." Isaiah 45:7 " I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do these things." Luke 14:26 "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and children, and brethrern, yea, his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Psalms 22:1 "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? Matthew 10:34-37 “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." Luke 19:27 "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hithher, and slay them for me." Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. In view of the recent monster typhoon "Yolanda" - our Japanese Tsunami, our American Katrina - that caused the death and destruction of hundreds of thousands of already impoverished Filipinos, Matthew, as one inspired author of God, must have been a stupid jerk, if not a silly clown writing nonsense in the bible for Christ's sake!

Thoughts to Provoke Your Thoughts

Here is a thought to provoke your thoughts: officials of foreign governments have done more, much more for the hundreds of thousands of Filipinos - the suffering victims of the monster typhoon "Yolanda" that caused so much death and destruction in the Philippines. The officials of the Philippine government have done less, much less, for its own people. . . Here is another thought to provoke you thoughts: officials of foreign governments have done more, much more in giving Filipino workers and laborers employment in foreign countries. . . the officials of the Philippine government have been giving Filipino workers and laborers virtually no employment opportunities right here in our own country in need of so much growth and development. Why should they? They are busy stealing the people's money - the same money that they use to buy the votes from the people in order to keep themselves in power, wealth, and glory! . . .

The Angry Atheists

Atheists aren't angry because we're selfish, or bitter, or joyless. . . Atheists are angry because we have compassion. . . Atheists are angry because we have a sense of justice. . . Atheists are angry because we see millions of people being terribly harmed by religion, and our hearts go out to them, and we feel motivated to do something about it. . . Atheists aren't angry because there's something wrong with us. Atheists are angry because there's something right with us. . . . Greta Christina, speaking at Reason Rally, National Mall, Washington, DC, 2012-03-24 . . . For my part, I am angry atheist because of what Christianity has done to my people and to my country. . . We Filipinos are nothing but sick as a people, and nothing but sick as a nation. . . We all have been taught to believe that there is nothing precious in this life existing earthly in the here and now; only something heavenly later after death with the pie in the sky later by and by. . . Indeed, everything is a dismal failure with us Filipinos in the Philippines; except religion in its churches and cathedrals and in schools, colleges, and universities - religion has always been and still is a great success! . . . Consider the horrors with millions upon millions of us Filipinos in this already 21st century: we still do believe and have faith in the message revealed as the truth in the holy bible: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15 . . . Thus, our traditional Christian approach to nature has been a major contributing factor to ecological destruction. The belief that there is a better world to come after death has led to our disregard even of our natural of resources. We believe instead that the only things of true value are those found with Jesus in heaven. Our country, our people and nature and the flesh - we see as low and depraved and unworthy and therefore should be of no consequence to life coming in the next life. Our country is merely a stopover on our journey to the next world with God in heaven. Therefore the less love and less respect placed on it and more love and more respect placed on God and religion the better our chances to win eternal salvation with Jesus in the next world. I am told by my enemies, friends, associates, and relatives that as an angry atheist I am full of hate. Indeed, I am full of hate and proud of it. After all, in the Philippines, when it comes to the evils of religion, we are way way ahead of everybody in this God-forsaken world. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Horrors of Christianity

You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world... I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world. - - - Bertrand Russell (Why I Am Not a Christian) Oh Russell, my dear Bertrand Russell, I said it before, I say it again: Never mind looking at the world around us, just take a good look at the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. . . In the Philippines, with us as a people, in this already 21st century, we still do love nothing but God up there by hating one another down here. . .indeed, life in general in the Philippines can be characterized as the daily competition to be the criminal or just be the victim of the criminals; especially, those as the officials in the government. . .
