Why Am I an Atheist

I am an atheist because there is not an iota of veracity nor a modicum of reality in religion. There are only loads of lies and deceptions on the one hand; and, on the other hand, illusions and delusions. I love the search of the truth. Since the truth is most likely to be found in the book of wisdom, I need no longer bother to find the truth in the book of lies - the holy bible... I say throw that worthless bible out the window. Man's most noble of profession is the search of the truth. In the meantime, as an atheist, I want see not churches, but more hospitals built for the sick, more homes built for the homeless, more jobs created for the jobless, more thoughts for the thoughtless; I want more schools, colleges, and universities established to function not as commercial enterprises, but to serve as educational establishments. Indeed, a system of education that teaches millions of young people HOW TO THINK, and not WHAT THEY MUST BELIEVE LIKE SILLY FOOLS ARE GULLIBLE ENOUGH TO READILY BELIEVE. . .

The Greatest of Values in This Life

With all due love, respect, and affection, I must admit that no parents at home, no teachers in school, no priests in church, and no employer at work have ever taught me what Bertrand Russell taught me - the greatest of values in life: to always have the courage to try and put beauty into this world where nature has only put fear and ignorance. Indeed, to always stand up and to speak up, especially for this world. Our world. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Oh God, My Dear God of Love and Mercy

The trouble with our government, just like the trouble with our schools, colleges, and universities, just like the trouble with everything else in our poor, backward, corrupt, and sick society is GOD. He has yet to stop PROVIDING for the Filipinos in the Philippines; especially with endless stupidity on the one hand; and, on the other hand, with endless insanity. Indeed, mixed inextricably the two evils together and you have the history of Christianity in the Philippines. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Pope John Paul 11 on Science and Religion

Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. . . Pope John Paul II. . . Oh my dear Pope John Paul 11, are you sure you know what exactly you are talking about? What makes you believe that the existence of the truthful nature behind science can be placed on the same level as the existence of the lies and deceptions behind religion? . . . Sir, science is a self-correction process. In the search of the truth science has been and still is way way ahead of religion. Science can never be a science unless it first enjoys the freedom from error and from the horror of superstition. Poch Suzara

Ignorance as the Common Ancestor of Science and Religion

"Religion and Science start from the same common ancestor - ignorance." . . . Anthony Flew . . . The difference, however, is that science reforms ignorance into the knowledge. It is a self-correcting process to benefit humanity. . . Religion transforms ignorance into faith. It is a commercial enterprise to benefit no one except the priesthood industry masquerading as agents of a divinity. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Chinese Mind compared to the Filipino Mind

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, in this already 21st century, THE ORDINARY FILIPINO MINDS TALK ABOUT THE SUPREME BEING, GOD, THE FATHER. AVERAGE FILIPINO MINDS TALK ABOUT JESUS, THE SON OF GOD. GREAT FILIPINO MINDS TALK ABOUT MARY, THE MOTHER OF GOD. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Creator as a SUPOT and with a VAGINA

If the creator created you in His own image and likeness and you were born a SUPOT, doesn't that make God a SUPOT TOO? Well, what about born as a baby girl with a VAGINA created in the image and likeness of God - does that mean that God has a VAGINA too? Hijos de Tootie-Frootie y Patooties - in faithfully believing all this insane sick nonsense - are we really that insane as the Sick Children of Asia? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

It Is Time to be Disrespectful of the Evil Known as Religion

Question: - Should atheists show more respect and deference to religion? Isn't it disrespectful to religious theists to be so critical of their beliefs and values?. . . Response: - There is an increasingly popular notion that religion deserve automatic respect and deference from everyone — even those who don't share that religion or that theism. People attack atheists for failing to show the "appropriate" respect to religious and theistic beliefs. Atheists shouldn't say things which constitute pointed, direct, or harsh challenges to religious and theistic claims. At the risk of further accusations of myself being intolerant and disrespectful, I say to you believers: so, so what? . . . Atheist/scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion: "As long as we accept the principle that religious faith must be respected simply because it is religious faith, it is hard to withhold respect from the faith of Osama bin Laden and the suicide bombers." Most religious believers don't respect the beliefs of bin Laden; that, however, requires not treating religious beliefs as inherently and necessarily deserving of our automatic respect; instead, we evaluate those beliefs on their own merit and react accordingly. This is what the "new atheists" or "militant atheists" do, but they do so to all religious beliefs.". . . Atheists are not responsible for making religious believers feel better about their religion or their theism. Atheists are not responsible for helping validate religious theism by treating it with a respect or deference that it hasn't earned. Atheists are not responsible for protecting the feelings of religious theists by not speaking out, showing where theists haven't supported their claims or where they have used childish arguments. . . Theists who believe they can't handle pointed, direct, and even harsh criticism of their religious and theistic beliefs always have the option of just not bringing them up. This is precisely the same choice facing every person and every belief: you can either put your belief out in public for comment and critique, or you can keep it to yourself. You don't have the option of putting your belief out in public and then insisting that everyone respect it or not criticize it. . . Indeed, as an atheist, I say it again: The most terrible thing we can do in this life, in this world, is to respect existence of evils, especially the greatest of evils - religion. One need not look far and wide to see the evil results of religion in a country like the Philippines. Today, in this already 21st century, Millions of faithful Filipinos are still hoping, waiting, and praying for the arrival of a Savior - a Son of God Jesus to introduce good health for ourselves as a people; and, to introduce good wealth for ourselves as a nation! Sadly, however, insanity comes in many shapes and forms. The worst kind of insanity in our country is the one that comes from the teachings of Christianity. She continues to support and maintain social and political and religious insanity in our poor and backward country! . . . In other countries, people eat to live in order to work harder for the achievement of the good life - the one inspired by love and guided by the learning of more and deeper knowledge. . . In the Philippines, however, thanks to Christianity and its teachings, we Filipinos eat to live so that we may continue to pray harder for the forgiveness of our insane sins against divinity; and, for the forgiveness of our insane crimes against our own country. Indeed, thanks to our endless respect of stupid religion, we Filipinos have neither time to grow healthy as a people. We have neither the energy to develop in wealth as a decent nation.

Human Stupidity Must Go Marching on Eternally

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it... Albert Einstein . . . Oh my dear Einstein, please permit me to paraphrase your truthful words: the Philippines is a dangerous place to live; not because of the Filipinos who are evil, but because of the filipinos who won't do anything about it. It is what our sick system of Catholic education has been and still is mostly about. Among the hundreds of similar messages written in the holy bible, here is the summary of the whole mess: "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 . . . In other words, not the truth, but human stupidity must go marching on forever and ever. . . Poch Suzara

War is Big Business

I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity. . . Dwight D. Eisenhower . . . Many soldiers have the courage to die gallantly in battle, but will not have the courage to say, or even to think, that the cause for which they are asked to die is an unworthy one. . . Bertrand Russell It is sad to see in this already 21st century America the elderly Americans continue to create wars by creating its own enemies and then sends young men and women as US soldiers to fight "terrorism" overseas under the pretext that they are fighting for freedom and democracy. In fact, war has always been and still is big business. It is about selling bullets, guns, bombs, planes, and ships by the Military-Industrial-University Complex of the United States of America. . .

Good Men Have Alway Been Good for Nothing

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Most men have always been good; unfortunately, however, only always good for nothing. There never was a war between Good versus Evil. Wars have always been about evil versus evil and evil has always been triumphant! Otherwise, in this already 21st century, why is there still so much hate for this life in this world, and only more silly love for the next world as if there is any? - Poch Suzara (1937 - )

The Silly and Spiritually frightened Editors of Philippine Star

Spread the gospel; it's contagious. Philippine Star, July 8, 2014 I said it before, I say it again: if only the serious editors of Philippine Star would bother to seriously read the gospel, they would not make such serious, malicious, vicious, and meretricious suggestions for its readers to follow seriously. Here’s love, peace on earth, and goodwill to all men, women, and children as gospel from Jesus Christ – the Prince of Peace – the Savior of Mankind, the loving Son of a loving God: Matt. 8:21-22 “And another of His disciple said unto Him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury the dead. Matt. 10:34-35 “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword,” “For I am come to set a Man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother.” Matt. 19:29 “And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” Mark 10:29-30 “There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s. But he shall receive a hundredfold now in time… with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.” Mark 13:12 “Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.” Luke 12:51-53 :Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. For from henceforth there shall be five to one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother…” Luke 14:26 “ If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33 “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not that all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 19:27 “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.” St John 12:25-26 “He that loveth his life shall lose it; he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal; . . . If any man serve me, him will my father honor.” Poch Suzara, Atheist, Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Poverty Mixed with Insanity in the Philippines

In the Philippines, poverty is caused by corruption. It is generated by a corrupt system of education. This is in retail. Poverty, however, in wholesale, inextricably mixed with social and political insanity has always been and still is the best kind of misery for the perpetual existence of Christianity in our sick country. Indeed, there are many kinds of poverty in the world. The worst kind of poverty, however, can only be found in the Philippines - poverty of the mind and heart. There is no other country in the world, except only in the Philippines, especially in its culture - where millions of homeless Filipino children live off garbage in the street of our major cities and such horror is considered evidence enough that God has always and will always continue to provide for the poor Filipinos in the Philippines being the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century... In the meantime, in this already 21st century, however, since the 16th century, only in the Philippines: millions of Filipinos are still waiting and hoping with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly prayers for the return of a sick foreigner - the Jewish Son of God Jesus to remedy the ills of our sick country. It is, in this way, that our famous religious clowns on TV, never miss to declare that Jesus will soon be returning. It is, in this way, like the rest of the filthy gang of filthy rich criminals famous in our sick society - they keep our country perpetually threatened, if not eternally frightened: They are the catholic bishops; INC bishops; Pastor Bo Sanchez of the Light of Jesus Family church; Pastor Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; Pastor Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Church; Pastor Apollo Quiboloy of the Appointed Son of God church; and Pastor Eli Soriano of Dating Daan church; etc... For my part, as an atheist, I said it before, I say it again: it is time for us filipinos to get ahead in the race to achieve that higher standard of thinking as a people; and, to achieve that higher standard of living as a nation. We can only achieve such standards via schools, colleges, and universities generating with the power of science and the beauty of technology, and no longer blessed with the same old usual historical silly prayers as inspired by silly beliefs in silly divinity so loved by the million of filipinos as a mystery endlessly identified as the holy trinity. . .

CBCP: Who are we to condemn Pork Scammers

CBCP: Who are we to condemn pork scammers? MANILA - The president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines is urging Filipinos not to condemn several individuals including three senators who are facing plunder charges over the multi-billion pork barrel scandal. In a report on CBCPNews, Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas reminded Christians to "love at all times, even those who sin and err, for none of us is above human frailty." "For those among us who are not accused, let us remember that the offenses with which those who now stand accused are charged could very well be the offense of any of us as well," he said. "Who are we to condemn? Let the one who has no sin be the first to cast a stone," he added. Villegas urged officials not to act out of hatred or desire for vengeance. He said a vengeful action "cannot be from God." "Let no action – official, personal or otherwise – be ever born out of hatred or a desire for vengeance," he said. "Let everything we do be born out of sincere love for each other and concern for the common good for only then will we be recognized as disciples of the Divine Master who searches out and rescues the lost and the weak," he added. The CBCP president said those tasked to prosecute the cases must "observe total commitment to the human rights of the accused." "Everybody culpable, whatever their political affiliations may be, should be investigated and, if so warranted, indicted. When justice is selective, it is not justice at all," he said. The Office of the Ombudsman on Friday formally filed before the Sandiganbayan plunder charges against three senators and several individuals linked to the P10 billion pork barrel scam. Facing plunder raps before the Sandiganbayan are Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada, Bong Revilla, Janet Lim Napoles, Jessica Reyes, Ronald John Lim, John Raymund de Asis, Pauline Labayen, John de Asis and Richard Cambe." WOW! My dear Catholic Bishops: Who are we to condemn the pork scammers? We are the millions of sick Filipinos who are the sick historical victims not only of the filthy rich Catholic theologians, not only the victims of the filthy rich Catholic politicians, but also the sick victims of Christianity still in wealth, power, glory, and authority keeping our sick country poor and backward.

Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago

"I don't understand why God has to be all love and still inflict this kind of pain on people. This God is an underachiever. He does not do what he's supposed to be doing whatever his sex is, whether he's an it, a he, or a she or whatever. But I'm sure that if you were a God, or I were the God, I would be doing a better job. therefore the only conclusion can be that possibly God does not exist..." Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago . . . Wow! It's great to know that not all of our senators are dumbstruck religious dummies. Specially as they more usually referred to as MAKA-DIOS and MAKA-JESUS... You are a great Filipina Miriam. A brilliant and a rare woman of intellect. If only you were the kind of teachers and professors we have in schools, colleges, and universities - we Filipinos could learn to become the healthiest people in Asia and the Philippines could learn to become the wealthiest nation in Asia.

It is Time to Love, Not Hate - America

There are valid reason why the tens of thousands of children from South and Central America are seeking refuge in the United States. The reasons are there inscribed in our Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tried, your poor, your huddled masses to breath free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost, to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door." As an American citizen, I am ashamed of our American government. We should be welcoming instead of rejecting these poor children seeking a better life in America. Here is a great and wonderful opportunity for America to regain the love and respect of the world; and yet, since our government only continue to be selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane, the world hates us, especially hate our sick government. Our government has turn out to be nothing but the sick servant of a bigger government - the Military-Industrial-University Complex - the real owners of America - no longer the land of the free or the home of the brave; in fact, America is no longer a nation; it is one sick giant corporation! In the meantime, it is time to feel just how exactly the Native American Indians felt when thousands of white men, women, and children arrived more than 250 year ago to take over their land, nay, conquer the the whole continent peacefully inhabited by the Native Indians. Such native Indians then have never heard words like GOD BLESS AMERICA. THE LAND OF THE FREE. THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

God Wants us to be Famous as the Sick Children of Asia

"We need one another in order to be what God wants us to be." ... Philippine Star, July 5, 2014. . . After 4 centuries of faith in the Son of God Jesus, indeed, under Christianity in the Philippines, as if we Filipinos were not as yet what God wants us to be - famous as the Sick Children of Asia. . . Look at us millions upon millions of sick Filipinos in this already 21st century: Are we not still the sick and faithful followers of Jesus who warned: "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."

Insanity as Security in the Philippines

We have more than 146,000 Filipinos working for the Philippine National Police. We have more than 125,000 Filipinos working as soldiers in the Armed Forces of the Philippines. We have more than a 1,000,000 Filipinos working as security guards of licenses Security Agencies in the Philippines. We have 42,000 Barangay Captains to help curtail the ways of the criminals in our sick society.

So how come the crime wave in this only CATHOLIC country in Asia is increasing, not decreasing?  In the meantime, no doubt, there is no such thing as "security" in this world. There is, however, for certain, without a doubt, "insanity." And insanity is more religiously considered by the priesthood industry in the Philippines as the holy values and sacred beliefs behind "Christianity." And to think that the spirit of Christianity in the Philippines is exactly like the spirit of God - existing here, existing there, and existing everywhere in the Philippines. However, instead of being always omnipresent, God is only always omni-absent. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
