The Truth as more Precious than Health or Wealth

When asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said: “MAN." Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” Dalai Lama. . . We squander our health in search of wealth. We toil. We sweat. We save. Then we squander our wealth in search of health. Only to find the grave. Anonymous... For my part, as an atheist, I am most happy and proud of myself as a man. For most of my life, I squandered my health in search of the truth. Indeed, in search of better questions to ask; especially as the answers, in time, become obsolete. Consider reality as the truth around us: each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction, and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it. Poch Suzara

Good Governance is Good Economics

"Good governance is good economics." President Nonoy Aquino. PHilippine Star, May 23, 2014. Oh my dear Mr. President, good governance is indeed good economics. Specially to better the lives of the filthy poor majority, and not just to make the filthy rich minority like the already filthy rich congressmen and filthy rich senators get more filthy richer.

The Evils of War as Inspired by Religion

"War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children." - JIMMY CARTER. . . Perhaps, we could begin to learn how to live in peace as one happy human family together on this earth as soon we teach our children to acknowledge the ugly truth that human life is but a sexually-transmitted disease with a mortality rate of 100 per cent on this earth; and, to accept also another ugly truth: that our wars as written by historians have never been about good versus evil. It has always been about evil versus evil and evil always won! At most times, we sanitize the filth of war or deodorize the stench of war by saying that "war may sometimes be a necessary evil." In the meantime, let's listen to what a great philosopher said on the subject: "Religion prevents our children from having a rational education; religion prevents us from removing fundamental causes of war; religion prevents us from teaching the ethics of scientific cooperation in place of the old fierce doctrines of sin and punishment. It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and that door is religion. - BERTRAND RUSSELL Twitter# Facebook# Google#

God in Heaven Up There

I said it before, I say it again: it has got to be the highest level of stupidity, if not the lowest form of insanity, to believe that a loving God does better up there in heaven than he does on earth down here, especially in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

The Growth, Progress, and Development of the Philippines

Who can over estimate the progress of the world if all the money wasted in superstition could be used to enlighten, elevate and civilize mankind? -- Robert Green Ingersoll. . . Who can over estimate the growth, progress, and development of the Philippines if all the money we yearly give to the Catholic Charity activities via the Catholic priesthood industry could be used instead to enlighten, elevate, and civilize millions of our children in schools, colleges, and universities?

International Labor Organization

In the Philippines, the only Catholic country since the 16th century, we Filipinos, as faithful Catholics, have been taught to believe that God will always provide us with what we pray for. In fact, in the bible, Matthew 7:7-8, it says: Ask, and it shall be given 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." In a recent report, however, released in January 2014 by the International Labor Organization (ILO), it says the Philippines has the highest unemployment rate for the previous year among the 10 member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean). Philippine Daily Inquirer, May 21, 2014. Such is the power of prayer; but we are told that the trouble with us is that we do not pray hard enough; we must only pray harder. And Like damned fools in this God-forsaken country - in this already 21st century - in order to find employment - millions of us in the labor force still do pray a lot!

Light and Darkness

"Never forget in the darkness, what you know to be true in the light." Philippine Star, May 21, 2014. . . In the first chapter of the Bible God said on the first day of creation, “Let there be light: and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). But it isn't until several verses later, on Day 4 of Creation Week, that we find that the sun, moon, and stars were created. “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also … to give light upon the earth” (Genesis 1:16-17). At any rate, obviously God Himself was no blinding bright light. He had to create the sun to brighten the darkness around Him. In the meantime, in 1 John 1:5 we are told that "God is light" and in Him there is no darkness at all. Are we to suppose that this is what having faith in blind faith has been all about?

Eternal and temporary Punishment

"I do not believe that any person who is profoundly humane can believe in everlasting punishment." Bertrand Russell. . . Oh my dear Bertrand Russell, in the Philippines, the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century - the teachers and professors in Catholic schools, colleges, and universities do not only believe and teach the doctrine of eternal punishment in life after death, but also believe and teach temporary punishment in life after birth. In the meantime, in our sick and sinful society, it is a sin to be patriotic. What, however, is not a sin is to always be faithful as a Catholic. Poch Suzara

Zero Population Growth

The trouble with our silly teachers and professors in schools, colleges, and universities together with our mindless politicians in the government all in cahoots with our frightened officials in the health Department - they are all scared to entertain the reality of ZERO POPULATION GROWTH - because the Catholic bishops will damned them all to hell for the greater glory of God in heaven. Zero population growth, sometimes abbreviated ZPG (also called the replacement level of fertility),[1] is a condition of demographic balance where the number of people in a specified population neither grows nor declines, (same number of births with same number of deaths) considered as a social aim by free and independent nations.[2] According to some, zero population growth is the ideal towards which countries and the whole world should aspire in the interests of accomplishing long-term environmental sustainability.[3] I asked it before, I ask it again: how could we ever attain ZERO POPULATION GROWTH when the Catholic bishops themselves in the our poor and backward country have not ceased to frighten our women that if they practice family planning and birth control measures God will cease to love them and will no longer PROVIDE FOR THEM! What a lot of Catholic historical bullcrap! Poch Suzara, Atheist Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Senator Juan Ponce Enrile

"Pardon me for not discussing the case, and what I am going to do in the event that a case is filed against me. I have trained in that art in the same way that you are trained in your art." Senator Juan Ponce Enrile... Come on Senator Enrile, cut your sick political bullcrap! How exactly have you been exposing the crimes committed by your fellow-senators down through the years? Sir, there is no crime greater than all the crimes put together - the crime of silence! Sir, you are not only a filthy-rich senator, but also a filthy-rich coward always famous as one of the top corrupt officials of the corrupt Philippine government.

How Character Should Be Measured

Our character is measured by what we do when no one is looking. Philippine Star, May 21, 2014... On the contrary, character should be measured by what we do differently when every one is shocked looking thoughtlessly in blind faith. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google3

Reading is Like traveling

Reading is like traveling - it is useless if one cannot change or refuses to learn something new. If one only hopes to grow older; not wiser. It is also just like making money. It is utterly a waste if one were only to remain selfish, greedy, stupid, and religiously insane - proud and happy of nothing except the recycled garbage around them more referred to as "blessings from God," as God provides. I have met a great many people who have traveled and have even migrated to live and work in foreign countries. They are there happy and gay eating good food together; hardly, however, are they into creative reading of a good book together. Also, how to always be on the look out for more money coming in by hook or by crook so as to be respectable silly import of a gook all together! Poch Suzara, Twitter# Facebook@ Google#

Catholic Charity Activities endless in the Philippines

"If Satan appears to me and gives me money, I will accept the money and spend it all for the poor. It is not the practice of the Church to ask donors where their donations come from. Our duty is to make sure all donations go to the poor. The devil remains . . . my enemy but I will use his resources to feed the poor." -- Oct. 25, 2000, defending the Catholic Church's acceptance of a total of P181 million in donations from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation since 1998. Jaime Cardinal Sin... The trouble is, since even God needs money, the poor people in the Philippines are not getting any better; in fact, they are only getting poorer - Thanks to the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly charity activities of the Catholic church in the Philippines since the 16th century - the only Catholic country in Asia that need, for its growth and economic development, foreign investments from the Catholic Vatican bank - the richest and most powerful bank in the world in this 21st century.

Was Jesus Truthful

"Look for Christ's return and you'll live for Christ's glory." Philippine Star, May 20, 2014 More than 2,000 years ago, Jesus promised his followers that he would return quickly in glory and vindication. He vowed to establish the kingdom of God on earth and to redeem their suffering. To heighten their expectation he assured his followers that most of them would live to see all of this come to pass. His dismal failure to do so places the Christians on the arena of a serious dilemma. Jesus’ hollow promises work to seriously undermine his credibility. If the credibility of Jesus is undermined, so is that of the church. If, on the other hand, it is argued that the gospels and Paul reported incorrectly, does that not seriously undermine the reliability of the New Testament? Even if one were to argue that God knowingly inspired the contradictions, errors and undelivered promises in the New Testament why should anyone believe and practice any of its teachings if so much of it could be revealed falsehood? The following bible verses confirm that Jesus deliberately lead his followers into false expectations. Matt. 10:23 – When giving instructions to his disciples as to just how they are to go about spreading his message Jesus says, “for truly I say unto you, you shall not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of man comes.” Matt. 26:28 - Jesus says, “There are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” Matt. 24:33-34 - After prophesying a wide assortment of events including the second coming, Jesus said, “ . . . when you shall see all these things, know that it ( the 2nd coming ) is near, even at the door. This generation shall not pass till these things be fulfilled.” Jesus was obviously referring to the contemporary generation. Matt. 26:74 – When brought before Caiaphas, the chief priest, Jesus said to him, “ I will tell you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man . . . coming on the clouds of heaven.” According to this the second coming was to happen during Caiaphas’ lifetime. Mark 9:1 - And he said unto them, “verily, I say unto you, that there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. Luke 21: 27-28 – “And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:32 – “verily I say unto you, “This generation shall not pass way, till all be fulfilled.” 1 Thess 4: 15-17 – In his first epistle to the Thessalonians Paul assures the congregation that the second coming is very near,” . . . “we who are alive,” . . . shall not proceed those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven . . . and the dead Christ shall rise first . . . Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together. . .” Revelation 22:12 – Behold, I come quickly.” Revelation 22: 20 – “Yes, I am coming quickly.” More than two thousand years have already passed, yet Jesus’ promise of a quick return remains undelivered. Our world today is in desperate need of a Savior. Specially the Filipinos in the Philippines. So where is Jesus? I think it’s time to admit that Jesus has even forgotten all about the revealed truths in the bible that have yet to be revealed. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google

I am Most Proud to be a Failure in Life

As a former believer, I am proud to have gradually failed to follow Jesus and his teachings. Jesus warned: “If any man come to me and hate not his father, and his mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26. On more family values from Jesus, please also read Matthew 10:34-37, Matthew 19:29, Luke 12:51-53, and Luke 19:27. And after reading such verses from Jesus and you can still consider yourself as a faithful follower of Jesus, then I say: you are indeed a mentally sick person! It is, indeed, painful to know that in this 21st century, the teachings of Jesus continue to be quite a success at home and in schools everywhere in the Philippines keeping us Filipinos ever famous as the Sick Man of Asia. In the meantime, I ask: how may we progress as a nation if the religious officials of our government were not working for the people; but are, instead, only answerable to the voice of God supposedly speaking from the Vatican Bank from out there? Oh yes, smile, God loves you; but He needs money! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Why We filipinos are Spiritually Fucked as a people

Valuable lessons are learned from examining the lives of God’s people who’ve gone before. Philippine Star, May 19, 2014. Oh my dear Philippine Star Editors, I entirely agree with all of you: We have certainly learned valuable lessons by examining the lives of all those past Maka-Jesus congressmen and Maka-Dios senators of our blessed by God government. Sadly, however, those past God's people as high government officials have certainly kept us spiritually fucked as a people and economically fucked as a nation. As you little boy going to La Salle Taft Avenue in the late 40's and early 50's, I used to see poor Filipinos pee and poo in the streets. As I got older, I saw hundreds more Filipinos pee and poo and beg in the streets. Now that I am a senior citizen, I see thousands of poor Filipinos not only peeing and pooing and begging in the streets, but also eating, sleeping, playing, and fucking in the streets of our major cities. To think that they are also God's citizens of the Republic of the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. In the meantime, out of the 100 MILLION Filipinos populating our country, it is estimated that 30 MILLION Filipinos are known to be homeless, jobless, and hopeless. This is only because the other 70 MILLION Filipinos have been educated in Catholic schools, colleges, and universities to be directionless as a people and to be rudderless as a nation; specially as Maka-Jesus and Maka-Dios and as Maka-bible citizens of the Republic of the Philippines.

Our Public and Private Schools

Our Public schools are the nurseries of all of our sins, vices, and criminality. Our private schools, however, are places where they produce millions of Filipinos to earn a living via emigration to a foreign country, if not able to earn a living via corruption in our own country under Christianity.

Confucius and the Filipino as a People

In China, centuries ago, Confucius wrote: ORDINARY MINDS TALK ABOUT PEOPLE. AVERAGE MINDS TALK ABOUT EVENTS. GREAT MINDS TALK ABOUT IDEAS. In the Philippines, however, thanks to our sick system of education via schools, colleges, and universities - we Filipinos are not curious about ourselves as a people; we are not curious of the history of our country; we are not even curious about the power of new and fresh ideas. We are only curious about life after death with God in heaven. As if there is life after death; as if there is a heaven; as if there is a God always ready and willing to punish you for not having more faith in His authority, power, glory, and divine mediocrity!

Reading and Writing

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. . . . Benjamin Franklin . . . It is, indeed, incredibly ticklish. Most of my college educated friends, my own school-mates in De la Salle University - have never written anything worth reading; in fact, they have not, as yet, accomplished anything in life worth writing. . . In the meantime, here is a greater tragedy as we are a Republic: our schools, colleges, and universities - happily, have produced millions of Filipinos able to read and write; unhappily, however, they have also been intellectually crippled to distinguish what is worth reading, what is worth writing, and indeed, what is worth believing or worth throwing out the window!
