Where is God Located or situated

In school and at home we were always told to believe that God is existing here, existing there, and is existing everywhere. This is a lie. Try Looking for God inside the HOUSE OF GOD such as in churches, cathedrals, temples, synagogues, pagodas, and mosques, or even inside the Vatican bank; and never will you ever meet God inside such holy places. . . Well, to begin with, why bother to meet with God since he has this reputation for being never omnipresent anywhere. He is only ways omni-absent everywhere. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Self-Respect

Before I can respect religion, religion must first show respect for other religions. Otherwise, as an atheist, I have only to keep in mind that there is one form of respect that is even more useful than the respect granted to authority. It is called "self-respect." And thinking critically is the highest form of self-respect because it means you love your thoughts more than you love your silly sentiments. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Somethings Are Impossible With God

"God works through us to meet the needs of those around us." Philippine Star, August 2, 2014. . . Oh God, my dear God, is it really that impossible for you to be a real honest-to-goodness God who knows how to perform His duties and responsibilities as a real God instead of just always bragging to no end that "Nothing is Impossible with God?"

Creation out of Nothing is wonderful; but Recreation of Something is More Wonbderful

The creation of the cosmos out of nothing was great and wonderful. What, however, is even greater and more wonderful is recreation; especially to correct the defects and imperfections; such as on the planet earth that have turned out to be a planet of misery, pain, suffering, and death for the creatures living temporarily on it. . . Since Moses, far more than 100 Billion people have already lived and died on this earth. Only because God and his angels needed to save their souls for heaven; and, Satan and his devils needed to win souls for hell. What have we here - a gang of supernatural crackpots?

Holy Water Polluted in the Philippines

The only water that is holy taught in our schools, colleges, and universities is the holy water found inside the font of churches and cathedrals. There is therefore nothing sinful about throwing garbage and trash into our rivers and lakes and and bays. Such waters are not holy. They can be polluted at no harm to the environment or harm to our immortal souls. After all, God in the bible says: "Love not the world, neither the things in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15 In the meantime, Researchers at the Institute of Hygiene and Applied Immunology at the Medical University of Vienna tested water from 21 springs in Austria and 18 fonts in Vienna and found samples contained up to 62 million bacteria per milliliter of water, none of it safe to drink. Tests indicated 86 percent of the holy water, commonly used in baptism ceremonies and to wet congregants' lips, and other religious ceremony such as blessing of the dead - was infected with common bacteria found in fecal matter such as E. coli, enterococci and Campylobacter, which can lead to diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever. Nitrates, commonly found in fertilizer from farms, were also identified in the water. If ingested, water containing nitrates over the maximum contaminant level could cause serious illness, especially in infants younger than 6 months, which could lead to death if untreated, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Science as the Surest way to Achieve Health as a People and Wealth as a Nation

It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people... Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn we have to seek its aid... The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science. - Jawaharlal Nehru... If I may add, science is, indeed, in every country, like the Philippines, the surest way to achieve health as a people, and wealth as a nation. It is a national tragedy, that in this already 21st century Philippines, in schools, colleges, and universities, there is more about the teaching of stupid religion; and hardly about teaching of the power of knowledge and wisdom behind the power of science and technology.

We are all Sick Products of a Sick System of Education

"I believe that this nation can overcome its present difficulties... by only if every single Filipino is prepared to do his or her part in bringing about the meaningful change that we all seek." Cory Aquino, January 26, 1933 - August 1, 2009 Oh My Dear Cory Aquino: We are repeatedly told that poverty in the Philippines has nothing to do with the population explosion. It has mostly to do with unequal distribution of wealth due to, if not the result of – corruption here, there, and everywhere in our sick society. As a matter of fact, in this country, we all suffer from poverty of the worst kind – the poverty of the mind and heart. Otherwise, if we were blessed with healthy minds, and healthy hearts - we would not find ourselves: Too poor to solve the problem of our overcrowded barrios, towns, and cities. Too poor to solve the problem of our overcrowded hospitals and health clinics and cemeteries. Too poor to solve the problem of our overcrowded schools, colleges, and universities. Too poor to solve the problem of our overcrowded airports, piers, and harbors. Too poor to solve the problem of our overcrowded buses, jeeps, trains, planes, and ships. Too poor to solve the problem of our overcrowded roads, streets, and highways. Too poor to solve the problem of our overcrowded slum and squatter areas. Yes, indeed, we are a corrupt people under a corrupt government blessed by an equally corrupt church. But what could be more corrupt than men and women irresponsible and insensible enough to bring forth unwanted children into our sick and corrupt society? Meanwhile, ask any of the nation’s children who or what or where their parents are – they do not know. Most of these children do know, however, that their parents are busy working in the baby factory. Indeed, millions upon millions of our men have far more job openings for unskilled work in the baby factory than job openings for skilled work in the business of nation building. The fact is, due to population explosion, the Philippine economic pie is getting smaller and smaller. What is getting bigger and bigger, however, is only that “Pie in the Sky, by and by.” Sadly, not the living, but only the dead, if at all, can partake of this non-existing pie. Is it such a complicated mathematical equation to figure out that it is more practical to raise,feed, cloth, house, and educate children as they are planned products of planned copulation rather than babies to exist as reckless products of reckless fecundation? We are a people still mired in Third World mentality because millions of our mothers and fathers still believe that God will provide. As a matter of fact, even our high government officials have high hopes for the Philippines but not from science education, but only from divine intervention. In there hope for the Philippines? Yes there is if we can only learn to be more constructive intellectually, more creative culturally, and more productive scientifically - by being less destructive sexually.

How and Why a Million Babies are Born yearly in the Philippines

The 1.5 to 1.9 million babies born yearly in the Philippines are not produced by educated and happy women happily married to a happy husband living in a happy home with a happy job in a happy office; but produced mostly by miserable, frightened, and homeless tootie, frootie, and patooties obeying the power and authority of the Catholic bishops; especially for the greater glory of Christianity in the Philippines in this 21st century.

Religion Has done More Harm than Good in Schools, colleges, and Universities

My only wish is. . . to transform friends of God into friends of man, believers into thinkers, devotees of prayer into devotees of work, candidates for the hereafter into students of the world, Christians who, by their own procession and admission, are "half animal, half angel" into persons, into whole persons. Ludwig Feuerbach . . . For my part, I wish to see millions of Filipinos students enrolled in Catholic schools, colleges, and universities visit more often its library to read and read. I hate to see them visit more often its chapel to pray and pray like dumbstruck religious morons. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Restoring The Public's Faith in the Government

Restoring the public's faith in the government? It will be more of the same old mess. Faith is nothing more than pretending to know something, when in fact we know nothing. Faith is worse than reckless thinking. It is unthinking. Instead of faith, what we need from the government officials is to prove to the people daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly that the Philippine government is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people; and not a government of the government officials, by the government officials, and for the government officials. Especially as they are still so faithful saying their prayers to God daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly for the forgiveness of their sins and crimes. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Ask God for a New Brain

"For a new start, ask God for a new heart." Philippine Star, July 31, 2014... For Christ's sake, why not ask God for a new brain? After all, we Filipinos are not worth dying for; we are worth thinking for. But then again, God gave Adam and Eve not intelligent brain, but instead gave them heart with a Free will. Look at the results: Both were thrown out of paradise. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Spiritual Typhoon to Visit the Philippines in 2015

Pope Francis will arrive in January 2015 to visit the victims of " Typhoon Yolanda." The horror typhoon that caused the death of more than ten thousand Filipinos - men, women, and children; and, that destroyed billions worth in assets, and properties in Tacloban, Samar more than a year ago. The catholic church is stating that this visit by Pope Francis will be the greatest of typhoons - a "Spiritual Typhoon" for the Filipinos in the Philippines. . . Proudly, Pope Francis will be here in the Philippines to remind millions of us poor Filipinos never to abandon our faith in the good, merciful, and loving God who has never failed to provide for the Philippines - being the only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago. . .

The Sick Children of Asia

We do NOT produce more rice, more corn, more coconuts, more garlic, more onions, more potato, more cabbage, and, indeed, more fruits, more chickens, cows, pigs and goats, and other kinds of goodies. We only produce more babies. We produce 3 babies every minute, 180 babies every hour, 4320 every day, 30,240 babies every week, 120,960 babies every month, or 1.5 to 1.9 million babies every year. . . When we are told by the sick church officials in cahoots with the sick government officials that there is economic growth and prosperity in the Philippines, it is lie. There is only the population growth that's keeping us directionless as a people and rudderless as a nation. Specially for the glory not of our country down here, but only for the glory of a sick divinity up there!. . . In the meantime, I imagine the Filipino as the most active and creative exporters, proudly; and not anymore as the stupid importers, shamelessly. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# facebook# Google#

Let's Be More Truthful than Faithful

Most children at home and in school are taught to be more faithful than truthful. Thus, as they grow up to be men and women - they are only frightful of this world instead of making it more meaningful, beautiful, delightful, joyful and peaceful. . . In the meantime, because of, and due to, our stupid religion, we are not a people of intelligent readers and thinkers; only a nation of frightened believers and stupid endless prayers...

Poor People in America and in the Philippines

Sick religion Poisons Everything

Religion poisons everything, a menace to civilization. It has become a threat to human survival... Christopher Hitchens... Oh my dear Christopher Hitchens, the poorest and the most backward country in Asia today is the Philippines. Thanks to religion as the main feature of a sick system of education, millions upon millions of Filipinos are still being taught in its schools, colleges, and universities to believe that life after birth is but a meaningless transition - a matter of damnation; but life after death will be more meaningful - a matter of eternal salvation. Thus, there is no such thing in the Philippines as the birth, growth, and development of civilization. There is only the growth of a sick population for the sake of Jesus and His sick gang behind the holy congregation operating tax-free in our poor and backward country as religious corporations.

Jesus Never died On the Cross

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the best attested fact of ancient history. . . Phil Star, July 29, 2014. . . And it is for this reason that you religious saps should stop bragging about how Jesus Christ died on the cross since on the third day he resurrected back to life to spread the Gospels. . . In the meantime, Jesus was, indeed, a failure not only as the Savior of the world; but also, especially a miserable failure in converting his own people - the Jews, into becoming Christians or catholic like the Filipinos in the Philippines. Israel today is not a Christian or a Catholic country; it is still a Jewish State. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The 100 millionth baby, named Chonalyn Sentino, was born at the Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital in Manila. Congratulations to 17-year-old Princess Mary Superal, for winning the US Girls’ Junior Golf Championship at Flagstaff, Arizona. Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla boycotted the SONA. The 55,000-seat Philippine Arena of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) was finished in 2 years and 9 months. Maybe INC executives should be asked to serve as consultants of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
