Recycled Garbage

Recycled garbage is one of the greatest, most wonderful, if not the most useful of inventions. Sadly, however, the most despicable, most deplorable, indeed, most horrible of human inventions are the recycled politics and recycled religion always in cahoots together keeping our society historically sick and insane as ever.

The Power of the Scientific Way of Thinking

There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere. Isaac Asimov Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. Carl Sagan The secret of science is to ask the right questions, and it is the choice of problem more than anything else that marks the man of genius in the scientific world. Sir Henry Tizard Science relies on -- and insists on -- self-questioning, testing and analytical thinking that make it hard to fool yourself or to avoid facing facts. Pseudoscience, on the other hand, preserves the ancient, natural, irrational, unobjective modes of thought that are hundreds of thousands of years older than science -- thought processes that have given rise to superstitions and other fanciful and mistaken ideas about man and nature -- from voodoo to racism; from the flat earth to the house-shaped universe with God in the attic, Satan in the cellar and man on the ground floor; from doing rain dances to torturing and brutalizing the mentally ill to drive out the demons that possess them. Pseudoscience encourages people to believe anything they want. It supplies specious "arguments" for fooling yourself into thinking that any and all beliefs are equally valid. Science begins by saying, let's forget about what we believe to be so, and try by investigation to find out what actually is so. These roads don't cross; they lead in completely opposite directions.

Republic Act. No. 1425 or the Rizal Laws Promulgated 50 years ago

Whatever happened to the Republic Act No. 1425 or the Rizal Laws in schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines that says: An Act to Include in the Curricula of All Public and Private Schools, Colleges and Universities courses on the Life Works and Writings of JOSE RIZAL, particularly his novels NOLI ME TANGERE and EL FILIBUSTERISMO, Authorizing the Printing and Distribution Thereof, and for Other Purposes. Whereas, today, more than other period of our history, there is a need for a re-dedication to the ideals of freedom and nationalism for which our heroes lived and died. Whereas, it is meet that in honoring them, particularly the national hero and patriot, Jose Rizal, we remember with special fondness and devotion their lives and works that have shaped the national character; Whereas, the life, works and writings of Jose Rizal particularly his novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, are a constant and inspiring source of patriotism with which the minds of the youth, especially during their formative and decisive years in school, should be suffused. Whereas, all educational institutions are under the supervision of, and subject to regulation by the State, and all schools are enjoined to develop moral character, personal discipline, civic conscience, and to teach the duties of citizenship; Now therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in Congress assembled SEC.1 Courses on the life, works and writings of Jose Rizal, particularly his novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, shall be included in the curricula of all schools, colleges and universities, public or private; Provided, That in the collegiate courses, the original or unexpurgated editions of the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo or their English translations shall be used as basic texts. The Board of National Education is hereby authorized and directed to adopt forthwith measures to implement and carry out the provisions of this Section, including the writing and printing of appropriate primers, readers and textbooks. The Board shall, within sixty (60) days from the effectivity of this Act promulgate rules and regulations, including those of a disciplinary nature, to carry out and enforce the regulations of this Act. The Board shall promulgate rules and regulations providing for the exemption of students for reason of religious belief stated in a sworn written statement, from the requirement of the provision contained in the second part of the first paragraph of this section; but not from taking the course provided for in the first part of said paragraph. Said rules and regulations shall take effect thirty (30) days after their publication in the Official Gazette. SEC.2 It shall be obligatory on all schools, colleges and universities to keep in their libraries an adequate number of copies of the original and expurgated editions of the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, as well as Rizal’s other works and biography. The said unexpurgated editions of the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo or their translations in English as well as other writings of Rizal shall be included in the list of approved books for required reading in all public or private schools, colleges and universities. The Board of National Education shall determine the adequacy of the number of books, depending upon the enrollment of the school, college or university. SEC.3 The Board of National education shall cause the translation of the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, as well as other writings of Jose Rizal into English, Tagalog and the principal Philippine dialects; cause them to be printed in cheap, popular editions; and cause them to be distributed, free of charge, to persons desiring to read them, through the Purok organizations and the Barrio Councils throughout the country. SEC.4 Nothing in this Act shall be construed as amending or repealing section nine hundred twenty-seven of the Administrative Code, prohibiting the discussion of religious doctrines by public school teachers and other persons engaged in any public school. SEC.5 The sum of three hundred thousand pesos is hereby authorized to be appropriated out of any fund not otherwise appropriated in the National Treasury to carry out the purposes of this Act. SEC.6 This Act shall take effect upon its approval. For my part, I asked it before, I ask it again: If the Rizal Laws were faithfully and gracefully enforced within the system of education in schools, colleges, and universities, how come Jesus Christ, a foreigner, a Jew born in a Jewish land some 2,000 years ago is still more loved, more admired, more respected, more followed and venerated than our own Jose Rizal - an intellectual giant, our national hero, born in the Philippines some 200 years ago?

Oh God, What the Holy Bullcrap is going on

"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. Now, unsurprisingly, this same God in the bible tells us to "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." 1 John 2:15. I asked it before, I ask it again: If God so loved the world, why would this same God tell us to love not this same world? Can any of you religious saps and ecclesiastical jerks explain what the holy bullcrap is going on? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Philippines not as a Republic, but as a Catholic Country

Spain conquered the Philippines with the sword in one arm and the cross on the other. The arm that held the sword had been cut away, as it were. The arm that holds the cross is still very much in tact. This has been made possible by vast number of schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Catholic church. Yearly, such sick system of education produces not well-informed Filipinos as citizens of our country; but as devout and faithful Catholics prepared to defend and to protect and to promote Catholicism. The majority of Filipinos as products of Catholic education are selfish, greedy, sick, and insane. But that's not the horror of it all. Imagine such Filipinos as husbands to their wives at home; as teachers and professors in schools, colleges, and universities; as priests, bishops, and cardinals in church; as lawyers and judges in court; as congressmen and senators in the government. Thus, as the Sick Man of Asia we Filipinos would never identify ourselves as proud citizens of our Republic, but only as faithful members of the church as Catholics. Indeed, only in the Philippines, a Jew born in a foreign Jewish land some 2,000 years ago is a more loved, more respected, and more venerated Savior than our one and only intellectual giant - Jose Rizal, our national hero, born in the Philippines some 200 years ago.

A Perfect God Needing Love

A perfect God who needs love from his imperfect creatures is a perfect supernatural monster who deserves not love, but laughter. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Jesus Never Even Existed

Which is the bigger deal - Jesus getting crucified on a cross; or Jesus resurrecting back to life from the dead; or Jesus has not yet return after promising during his lifetime that he will soon be returning? None of them above. Jesus never even existed. Jesus was a product of a virgin birth. In science, there is no such thing as a child born of a virgin mother. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

True Knowledge versus False Knowledge

True knowledge is to know the extent of our ignorance. False knowledge has more to do with faith in a silly divinity at the expense of our sense for humanity. The only way for journalism to be of any value is when it keeps us in touch with the fear and ignorance that generate the ways and means of our sick society. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Mess in the Holy Bible

Indeed, anyone can pick any verse from the bible and take it out of context or treat such bible verses with all kinds of conflicting interpretations. But can anyone do the same thing with the Multiplication Table - the perfect model of truth which is precise and certain and free from contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, and free from atrocities!

Poverty

Material poverty is a disgrace. What, however, is a greater disgrace is spiritual poverty - the poverty of the heart and mind. It is what our sick system of education has been and still is mostly about. Indeed, we are all born ignorant, not poor. We are made poor, especially poor spiritually by indoctrination more known as "education." Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

For the Love of Jesus HATE yourself

“If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” -- John 8:31-32... Indeed, you will be free to be a nothing but a religiously dumbstruck jerk filled with hate. Hate of your father and mother, wife and children, brethrens and sisters, yea hate your own life also. See Jesus in Luke 14:26 Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Sick Holy Bible

When the world says, "give up," hope whispers, "try it one more time." Phil Star, April 9, 2014. I say, when one's power of reason admits that after all of our century of prayers have actually amounted to absolutely nothing, it is time to realize and accept the truth that God has never provided for any of us in the Philippines; neither as a people nor as a nation. In the meantime, listen to more contradictory bullcrap written by inspired of God in the bible: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. Matt. 7:7-8 Now read more bullcrap revealed as truth in the bible: " Tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character, and character, hope. Romans 5:3-4 I said it before, I say it again: if there were the first cause that have inspired the Filipino to become famous as the Sick Man of Asia - it is simply called the "Holy Bible."

The Reproductive Health (RH) Law

The Supreme Court decision that the Reproductive Health ( RH ) law is constitutional is NOT a triumph of reason over superstition. On the contrary, it is a triumph of stupid politics over stupid religion as both evils historically keep the Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and morally backward as a nation.

Such a Wasteful God

Only God can transform a sin-stained soul into a masterpiece of grace." Philippine Star, April 7, 2014. Wow, God, haven't you far more important things to do with your existence? Do you plan to be a supernatural Jerk for the rest of eternity? What's the big deal about transforming a sin-stained soul into a masterpiece of grace? Is that so hard to do since you are already a God with so much power and wisdom? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Millions of Filipinos Do Not Live by Bread Alone

"It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4 . . . Well, here are examples of words that come from the mouth of Jesus - words that millions of us Filipinos love to live by: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my discipline." Luke 14:26. This simply means that we filipinos do not live by bread alone; we also live by hating our family and our country. Indeed, as products of a sick system of education, look how we Filipinos are taught to have faith in God while we are proud of ourselves as the Sick and the Corrupt Man of Asia. Look how we Filipinos only know how to love divinity up there, specially by hating humanity down here. We Filipinos are born ignorant, not sick and corrupt. We are made sick and corrupt via schools, colleges, and universities established and operated by the moral and historical authority of the catholic church in the Philippines.

Human Life

According to the Catholic Bishops of the Philippines, it is now final. Human life begins during fertilization. For my part, I say,during erection when there is vaginal penetration is the beginning of human life specially for the potential mother and father of the child. Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Google#

Our Corrupt Politicians

All of the corrupt politicians we have in the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of our corrupt system of government all share something even more corrupt together: They are all MAKA-DIOS and MAKA-JESUS together. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

We are Not a nation of Laws and Justice

We are not a nation of laws and justice. We are a nation of sick and corrupt lawyers; sick and corrupt judges in court; and, sick and corrupt law-makers in Congress. But what's even more ticklish about these sick and corrupt college educated professionals is that they all believe, love, and worship God who is always in the business of forgiving sins and crimes. In the Philippines, it is more referred to as "due process of the law." In practice, however, Due Process of the Law in the Philippines has always been and still is among the greatest of evils. It is only serviceable for those who are filthy rich; hardly applicable for those who are filthy poor. In the meantime, in our sick society, if you were caught stealing small, you go to jail. Steal big, however, and you immediately qualify to be a candidate for a high position in the government. - Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

When we Atheists Die

"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at hour of our death, amen." When we atheists die, we sober and not drunk with lies, or drunk with delusions, or drunk with deceptions, or drunk with fear of the Immaculate Misconception. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The four horsemen of the Apocalypse in the bible are DEATH, FAMINE, WAR, and DISEASES. In the Philippines, however, there only three horsemen of the Apocalypse. They are the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branch of our sick government responsible for the four evils existing in our sick nation: sick EDUCATION, sick RELIGION, sick INSTITUTIONS, and sick CORRUPTION.
