Science is full of doubt. Nothing is certain in Science

"Learn to doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs. . . Philippine Star, Aug. 12, 2014 Science at its best is an open-minded method of inquiry; it welcomes doubt. Science is not a system of beliefs... In science, thinking is everything, Believing is nothing. After all, nothing is permanent in science... Everything is subject to change and improvement as everything in science is temporary... In the ultimate analysis, the pursuit of the truth is endless in science. There is no such thing as the final truth in science. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Lee Kuan Yew

If only schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines could produce leaders like a Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, we Filipinos, millions of us, need no longer waste time and money praying for a Savior to save us from the horrors of religion that have kept us religiously poor as a people; and, from the horrors of politics that have kept us politically backward as a nation! Indeed, Lee Kuan Yew, an atheist, was a courageous leader. He produced not frightened followers in his Singapore, but produced more courageous leaders to carry out more responsibilities in the task of more nation-building.

Without God Life is Devoid of Meaning. No Kidding!

theists believe that if there’s no god, then human life has no meaning, in the sense that there’s no point to it. As an atheist, I entirely agree. Especially as the devil is always present as a substitute for God's place who is always only omni-absent. I said it before, I say it again: It is wrong to believe that if we have no religion, life would have no meaning. On the contrary, if religion were mostly about the preparation for the next life in the next world after death, then religion establishes the silly psychology that life on this earth does not mean a damn thing. Well, if this were true, why don’t we all commit suicide and get on to the next life in the next world? The problem, however, is that everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die!

Fr. Roy Cimagala

"So, a good leader is first of all a man of God, before he can be a man for others." Fr. Roy cimagala, Cebu city. . . Oh my dear Fr. Roy Cimagala, a good leader produces not frightened followers, but produces more brightened leaders. If God Himself were a leader, He need not bother creating stupid followers or silly believers with nothing to offer for other except childish prayers. In the meantime, my dear Fr. roy Cimagala, superstition is the tyranny of all tyrannies and the priesthood industry has always been behind big business more known as the spread of insanity; especially to create an insane society to benefit the business of the priesthood industry.

Noah and His family of 8 people and The Filipino People

Noah and his family of 8 people survived the great flood that God used to destroy all the sinners and criminals populating His world. After the mass drowning, nothing changed. Today we all still live in a sick world populated by sick sinners and sick criminals. Obviously, God Himself was a sick failure and a sick loser. Even His only begotten Son Jesus, the Savior of the World, is still trying so hard to save the world; specially the Filipinos in the Philippines. twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Existence of Nothing is Better than the Existence of Something

The existence of nothing has never harmed anybody. Why then would a good God create something only to harm everybody? Look at the way God created all of us. When we arrived into this world via mother's womb: we were all wet, hungry, crying, bloodied, uncircumcised, and as unbelievers of the faith; we had no religion. We were all atheists. In fact, if all of us came out of mother’s womb happy, smiling, clean and healthy, well-fed, and already believing in the existence of the Supreme Being - no need for the atheists to make a fuss about the horrible existence of something. William Shakespeare said it well: “When we are born we cry, that we come to this great stage of fools.” Well, for my part, as a growing thinking boy, I thought I'd better get myself expelled out of that greater stage of fools more referred as to De la Salle University!

Wow! Who is God? Where Did God come from? Where is God Going?

What are the different names of God and what do they mean? Answer: Each of the many names of God describes a different aspect of His many-faceted character. Here are some of the better-known names of God in the Bible: EL, ELOAH: God "mighty, strong, prominent" (Genesis 7:1; Isaiah 9:6) – etymologically, El appears to mean “power,” as in “I have the power to harm you” (Genesis 31:29). El is associated with other qualities, such as integrity (Numbers 23:19), jealousy (Deuteronomy 5:9), and compassion (Nehemiah 9:31), but the root idea of might remains. ELOHIM: God “Creator, Mighty and Strong” (Genesis 17:7; Jeremiah 31:33) – the plural form of Eloah, which accommodates the doctrine of the Trinity. From the Bible’s first sentence, the superlative nature of God’s power is evident as God (Elohim) speaks the world into existence (Genesis 1:1). EL SHADDAI: “God Almighty,” “The Mighty One of Jacob” (Genesis 49:24; Psalm 132:2,5) – speaks to God’s ultimate power over all. ADONAI: “Lord” (Genesis 15:2; Judges 6:15) – used in place of YHWH, which was thought by the Jews to be too sacred to be uttered by sinful men. In the Old Testament, YHWH is more often used in God’s dealings with His people, while Adonai is used more when He deals with the Gentiles. YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH: “LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Daniel 9:14) – strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. Translated in English Bibles “LORD” (all capitals) to distinguish it from Adonai, “Lord.” The revelation of the name is first given to Moses “I Am who I Am” (Exodus 3:14). This name specifies an immediacy, a presence. Yahweh is present, accessible, near to those who call on Him for deliverance (Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (Psalm 25:11) and guidance (Psalm 31:3). YAHWEH-JIREH: "The Lord Will Provide" (Genesis 22:14) – the name memorialized by Abraham when God provided the ram to be sacrificed in place of Isaac. YAHWEH-RAPHA: "The Lord Who Heals" (Exodus 15:26) – “I am Jehovah who heals you” both in body and soul. In body, by preserving from and curing diseases, and in soul, by pardoning iniquities. YAHWEH-NISSI: "The Lord Our Banner" (Exodus 17:15), where banner is understood to be a rallying place. This name commemorates the desert victory over the Amalekites in Exodus 17. YAHWEH-M'KADDESH: "The Lord Who Sanctifies, Makes Holy" (Leviticus 20:8; Ezekiel 37:28) – God makes it clear that He alone, not the law, can cleanse His people and make them holy. YAHWEH-SHALOM: "The Lord Our Peace" (Judges 6:24) – the name given by Gideon to the altar he built after the Angel of the Lord assured him he would not die as he thought he would after seeing Him. YAHWEH-ELOHIM: "LORD God" (Genesis 2:4; Psalm 59:5) – a combination of God’s unique name YHWH and the generic “Lord,” signifying that He is the Lord of Lords. YAHWEH-TSIDKENU: "The Lord Our Righteousness” (Jeremiah 33:16) – As with YHWH-M’Kaddesh, it is God alone who provides righteousness to man, ultimately in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, who became sin for us “that we might become the Righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). YAHWEH-ROHI: "The Lord Our Shepherd" (Psalm 23:1) – After David pondered his relationship as a shepherd to his sheep, he realized that was exactly the relationship God had with him, and so he declares, “Yahweh-Rohi is my Shepherd. I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). YAHWEH-SHAMMAH: "The Lord Is There” (Ezekiel 48:35) – the name ascribed to Jerusalem and the Temple there, indicating that the once-departed glory of the Lord (Ezekiel 8—11) had returned (Ezekiel 44:1-4). YAHWEH-SABAOTH: "The Lord of Hosts" (Isaiah 1:24; Psalm 46:7) – Hosts means “hordes,” both of angels and of men. He is Lord of the host of heaven and of the inhabitants of the earth, of Jews and Gentiles, of rich and poor, master and slave. The name is expressive of the majesty, power, and authority of God and shows that He is able to accomplish what He determines to do. EL ELYON: “Most High" (Deuteronomy 26:19) – derived from the Hebrew root for “go up” or “ascend,” so the implication is of that which is the very highest. El Elyon denotes exaltation and speaks of absolute right to lordship. EL ROI: "God of Seeing" (Genesis 16:13) – the name ascribed to God by Hagar, alone and desperate in the wilderness after being driven out by Sarah (Genesis 16:1-14). When Hagar met the Angel of the Lord, she realized she had seen God Himself in a theophany. She also realized that El Roi saw her in her distress and testified that He is a God who lives and sees all. EL-OLAM: "Everlasting God" (Psalm 90:1-3) – God’s nature is without beginning or end, free from all constraints of time, and He contains within Himself the very cause of time itself. “From everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” EL-GIBHOR: “Mighty God” (Isaiah 9:6) – the name describing the Messiah, Christ Jesus, in this prophetic portion of Isaiah. As a powerful and mighty warrior, the Messiah, the Mighty God, will accomplish the destruction of God’s enemies and rule with a rod of iron (Revelation 19:15). WOWOWEE! Everybody knows God's name is this or that; but nobody, however, knows who or what God is or where God came from; or, where God is going! We only know that God is merciful and full of love and compassion for as long as he is always omniabsent, never omnipresent! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The trouble With Religion

The trouble with religion is that it has transformed natural death into something supernatural. Such as death for the sake of the salvation of our silly soul for God in heaven; and, death for the sake of the damnation of our silly soul for the devil in hell. For my part, as an atheist, I say: FUCK DEATH! I do not fear death. I am already dying whether I like it or not. Indeed, the day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. In the meantime, I repeat: Not every verse written in the bible is about a cock and a bull. Here's a verse that is truthful: "The dead know not anything, neither have they anymore a reward for the memory of them is forgotten." Eccl. 9:5 Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

God Existing eternally and Shamelessly

Poverty

The Fear Of New Knowledge Via New Discoveries

Most people, devoid of intelligence, or dominated by fear, are afraid of new knowledge based upon new findings or new discoveries. They are afraid to believe that what they believed in the past is no longer true in the present. They are more comfortable with lies and deceptions on the one hand, and on the other hand, happy with illusions and delusions. Only the esoteric few love the truth even if as the truth hurts as it is brutal. Poch Suzara

The Unbelievers versus the Believers

You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe... Carl Sagan. . . Not however if you were an intelligent person who clearly sees the lies and deceptions mostly in control of our sad world. We unbelievers have a deep seated need to question everything. If we must believe, we believe in something, and not in nothing. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

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

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.
