Public Library

When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself... Isaac Asimov . . . In the Philippines, there is no such thing as public library. Instead, what we have are thousands of schools, colleges, and universities owned and operated tax-free by the Catholic Church. . . In other words, we Filipinos have never found a way to recreate ourselves either as a thinking people or as a thinking nation. . . In the meantime, thanks to our Catholic system of education, we still believe and have faith that in the problems created by new knowledge, we can solve such problems not with more knowledge, but only with the same old fear of fucking with the Lord Jesus, or with the same old fucking prayers. . .

Catholic Education Means FUCKING, not THINKING

Getting mentally fucked in grade school, in high school, and in college is no excuse to stay mentally fucked for the rest of your days... With me, I got myself expelled out of high school... I did not care to stay mentally fucked, even if it is more known as having acquired a "college degree." Indeed, we are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education; especially under Catholic education. . . Poch Suzara

Deceiving Others or Having Faith in God

“Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.” ― Oscar Wilde . . . Deceiving others is what is more known in the Philippines as having "faith in God." The evil is what our schools, colleges, and universities are mostly about! . . . Look at the millions of Filipinos who have college degrees - they are not the enlightened masters, but the frightened victims of so-called "education." . . . Indeed, college-educated Filipinos, specially those in the government, and in the church, - have yet to play decent roles in the growth of the Filipino as a decent people; and in the development of the Philippines as a decent nation.

The Fear of thought

"Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master." Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) Italian painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, and inventor. . . In schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines, the only Catholic country in Asia, pupils are not pupils. They are frightened victims of their masters in class teaching them to always live in fear of the power of thought - the greatest of human sensibilities in any man's life. . .

Education For what

Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it. . . . Marian Wright Edelman (1939-) American activist for the rights of children. In the Philippines, education is for learning how to pray to God to give us this day, our daily bread, and to lead us not into temptation; and also for learning how to pray to Mary, Mother of God, to pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen. . .

Education In the Philippines

Education is the inculcation of silly doctrines into the malleable minds of children by the frightened faithfools on earth down here; especially for the greater glory of Jesus in heaven up there. In the Philippines, more known as the Catholic system of education - the frightened faithfools are known as teachers in school and professors in college. . . Sadly, what is mostly taught to students is not how to think, but only what to believe . . . As a high school expelled student, I said it before, I say it again: education is not a matter of revelation; it is more about the human mind and heart growing and developing for the sake of intellectual revolution as generated by thoughtful evolution. . .

God Not Existing freely and Nobly

"God wants you to spend your time and treasure building His kingdom, not your own." Philippine Star, Dec. 3, 2013 . . . Wow God, you are suppose to be the creator of the galaxies and therefore already the owner of the universe, aren't you being greedy, selfish, silly, and insane to still want us Filipinos - the sick Man of Asia, to worry about building your God-forsaken kingdom? . . . Bertrand Russell wrote: "It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents man from living freely and nobly." . . . Oh, my dear Bertrand Russell, I suppose even God with His needless worries about the endless development His kingdom prevents Him from existing freely, and nobly."

Both Divinity and Deviltry Destroyed

As soon as God, a supernatural being, destroys the devil; and, as soon as the devil, also a supernatural being destroys God - in fact, as soon as both God and the devil get rid of each each - the sooner also I will stop being an atheist. . . . I said it before, I say it again: As soon as both divinity and deviltry are out of the way, we can begin to pay more attention to our sense for common human decency for the sake of humanity! . . .

Poor People in Atheist countries

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. . . Matt. 7:7-8 . . . It is glaringly obvious, if not alarmingly translucent that there are poor people in atheist countries because they do not ASK, SEEK, or KNOCK; in fact, they never bother God who will provide for them by simply asking, seeking, and knocking as the bible says. . . In the Philippines, the only catholic country in Asia, millions upon millions of Filipinos since the 16th century have prayed daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, to God in order to provide for them with daily bread and to lead them not into temptation. So how come 80 per cent of the population of the Philippines are still stuck not in prosperity, but in poverty? . . . Poch Suzara

The Triumph of Evil

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”. . . Edmund Burke . . . Oh my dear Edmund Burke, for my part, as a good man myself, I am getting sick and tired of doing something against triumph of evil as it is always triumphant. Look at the history of our world. It has never been about good versus evil. It has always been about evil versus evil and evil has always ended up triumphant in the long run. . . We are damned if we do something about it. We are damned if we do nothing about it. . . And to think that we are all taught to believe that God gifted man with a free will because he loves us! In the ultimate analysis, I think for good to triumph is for good men to always be on the side of humanity, and no longer waste time and energy and money always taking the side of a silly divinity.

Oh, My dear Vincent Van Gogh

"I feel a certain calm. There is safety in the midst of danger. What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?". . . Vincent Van Gogh . . . Oh, my dear Vincent Van Gogh, in the Philippines, as products of Catholic schools, colleges, and universities, we Filipinos have no courage to attempt at anything; especially anything for the decent growth and decent development of our country. This is simply because we all have been taught to believe and to have faith in God who will always provide for us, if not in this world, in the next world to come after death in the kingdom of God... In the meantime, we are also taught to believe and to have faith in the Son of God Jesus. He will soon be returning to earth, especially returning to the Philippines to remedy the historical ills of our sick society. . . Poch Suzara

No Need to Save the world. Let's Just Try to Reform it.

"Don't ask so much what the world needs. Go out and do what makes you come alive, because what the world needs most is people who have come alive." So, yes, the world needs saving but it's not on your shoulders. Rather, it's in your heart. There is no sacrifice needed. We each save the world every time we act from a place of love, joy and freedom. When we act from that place, we treat the world and all its inhabitants in ways that will save it." . . . Howard Thurman . . . "The desire to understand the world and the desire to reform it are the two great engines of progress, without which human society would stand still and retrogress." . . . Bertrand Russell . . . For my part, as an atheist and a humanist, I do give hoot for my eternal salvation. I care more about being unselfish as I am more interested to try and leave this world one day a better place like under a more refined kind of human civilization. . . Indeed, old age, like any other age, is the time to struggle for human decency to enjoy not illusion, delusion, and confusion; but to enjoy only wealth, health and sanitation; and also, especially, illumination!...

The Horrors of Education in school

Education is one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought. Indeed, we are born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education... Bertrand Russell Colleges are places where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed. . . Robert Ingersoll "Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.". . . Isaac Asimov For my part, I was expelled out of La Salle high school. I did not care to learn how to be a frightened believer. I wanted to learn how to be an enlightened free thinker. . . Indeed, I said it before, I say it again: free the child's intellectual potentials and he will transform even the concept of freedom itself in this world in great need of the freedom to question everything; and, at the same time, to believe in nothing. . .

Pleasure and Pain

Shouldn't the atheist have an equal obligation in a world of randomness. Where does pleasure come from? G. K. Chesterton?. . . When pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure. Jane Austen . . . The unexamined life is not worth living for man. Socrates . . . The greatest of pleasure of the joy of creative thought... Happiness differs from pleasure in the sense that pleasure comes from what is outside the self... Happiness comes from what is inside the self... Thus, I have little desire to know where pleasure comes from. I am already mentally preoccupied enjoying happiness as I endlessly continue to happily examine my own life and those of others!

Happy thanksgiving Day

Americans, with the power of prayer, have God to celebrate THANKSGIVING DAY for the conquest of the Continent away from the Indians. The Indians, with the power of prayer also, have God to celebrate THANKSGIVING DAY for the conquest of Alcatraz Island away from the Americans. After many Indians and many Americans have killed each other in order to carry out God's divine plan - to establish what is known as the United States of America - the Land of the free, and the Home of the brave - I say: such is the power of prayer behind the power of God. HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY! . . . We are told that - "The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more things you will have to express gratitude for.". . . well, this is precisely what the rich Americans have been grateful about for more than 200 years. The poor Indians have nothing to be grateful about; except that, happily, the poor Indians have the last laugh at the American state of affairs today . . . It is now obvious that it is by acquiring more and more things that have prevented millions of Americans from living sanely, freely, meaningfully, and nobly. Poch Suzara

Behind Every Fortune is a Crime In the Philippines

Behind every fortune made in the Philippines is not only a crime; there is also a woman's behind... Of course we do not refer to these filthy rich saps as "criminals... We give more sophisticated titles. We call them bishop, congressman, senator, mayor, justices of the supreme court, Chairman of the Board, bankers, doctor, commissioner, "darling," "sweetheart." ... The horror is all so true. However, let us not forget what is also true: Behind the Filipino historical sufferings from endless poverty comes from the insanity in having too much useless faith in a heavenly divinity that made us, as the Sick Man of Asa, believe that poverty will eventually subside for as long as we continue to have faith in God who will provide. In the meantime, I asked it before, I ask it again: have any of you college-educated jerks ever heard of a Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH for believing that God is BAD? So how come millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR for believing that God is GOOD? . . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Happy People Helping Unhappy People

In a destructive typhoon, like the recent monster "Yolanda typhoon" in the Philippines - a great many happy people living in happy foreign countries gave so much needed help for those millions of unhappy Filipinos who survived the death and destruction around them. I ask: how come happy souls in heaven never give a hoot to unhappy souls on earth; especially as happy souls in heaven already have the endless resources from a happy God to inspire happy souls to help unhappy souls on earth, especially the unhappy Catholic souls in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century? In the meantime, as an atheist, I don't believe in the existence of hell; but if I ever do believe it, I believe it to be a place filled with souls of teachers in Catholic schools, professors in Catholic universities, and Catholic politicians in our government; and of course in hell are the corrupt souls of the corrupt Catholic bishops historically keeping the Filipinos poor and corrupt as a Catholic people, and the Philippines backward and corrupt as a Catholic nation.

Churches, Cathedrals, Schools, Colleges, and Universities in the Philippines

It is sad, indeed, centuries ago, we Filipinos enjoyed a system of "indoctrination" under the existence of churches and cathedrals - the monuments to fear and ignorance in the Philippines. In this already 21st century, however, we Filipinos now enjoy even more a system of "education" under the existence of schools, colleges, and universities - own and managed by the same owners of churches and cathedrals that have been crumbling as such monuments are getting more and more obsolete with each passing year! In the meantime, the one and only thing precious with millions upon millions of us Filipinos popular as the Sick Man of Asia is neither indoctrination nor education. It is to be with Jesus in heaven after death rewarded with eternal salvation. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Christianity is but a Grand Illusion

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. . . C. S. Lewis . . . Oh my dear C. S. Lewis, you poor blind sap. The sun rising is but an illusion. The sun setting is yet another illusion. It is the earth that rotates on its own axis daily and orbits round the sun yearly. The MAJORITY see the sun rising in the morning and setting in the evening as something TRUE and yet, it is exactly like seeing Christianity as it really is - nothing but a grand illusion. . . In the meantime, "Belief," wrote Robert Anton Wilson, "is the death of Intelligence. As soon as one believes as a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence." With Filipinos in the Philippines, however, specially millions of college educated Filipinos, belief is not the death of intelligence; it is more referred to as having faith in God; specially faith in the Son of God Jesus - our Savior as a sick people; and, indeed, our Redeemer as a sick nation! . ..

The Dreamer versus the Stupid Believer

If you don't build your dreams, someone else will hire you like a damned fool to help build there dreams... Similarly, If you don't learn to be a thinker, others will only convert you to be a stupid follower as they are the stupid believers more known as "leaders." Poch Suzara
