The Power of Prayer Not to Heal but to Kill

"In the Middle Ages, when there was an epidemic, people crowded into churches to pray, thinking that their piety would move God to take pity on them; in fact the crowd in ill-ventilated building provided ideal conditions for the spread of the infection... Bertrand Russell... In the Philippines, the most destructive typhoon Yolanda in the Eastern Visaya destroyed billions of pesos worth in farm land, properties, and assets such as homes, hotels, schools, commercial and residential buildings, hospitals, roads and bridges, and also the death of thousands of innocent Filipinos. Quite a lot of them, as inspired by the power of prayer, went inside damaged or ruined churches to pray for deliverance. Instead, they experienced the activated horrors of nature in their respective provinces
as willed by God's divine plan. . . - Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

All Thinking Men and Women are Atheists

All thinking men and women are atheists. If you are always afraid to think, the most that you can be, in this world, is to be a mindless sap, if not a thoughtless jerk, or worst, a frightened follower. Most of my teachers in La Salle grade school and high school were, sadly, not intelligent thinkers; they were sick believers! Even more sadly, they were not genuine teachers. They were lowly-paid employees pretending to be teachers earning a living! Teachers are the promoters of civilization, not the custodians of revelation! I expelled myself out of La Salle because I did not care to be a sick believer. I wanted to be a healthy thinker by being an avid reader, especially of banned books!

God in the Philippines

God is the immemorial refuge of the incompetent, the helpless, the miserable. They find not only sanctuary in His arms, but also a kind of superiority, soothing to their macerated egos: He will set them above their betters. . . H. L. Mencken. . . In the Philippines, however, God is the perpetual SAVIOR of our corrupt politicians behind our corrupt system of government. Specially as these criminals are already rich and filthy, but they want to be richer in order to be filthier! Poch Suzara Twitter@ Facebook@ Google#

Religion and Politics as the Greatest Producers of Criminals in this World

The richest, most powerful, and influential criminals in the world come from sick religion and from sick politics. Both have always been and still are in cahoots together. They mutually keep their followers under them ignorant at best; frightened at worst. It is only in this way that these criminals, as they are the criminals behind the church; and the criminals behind the government enjoy their power, glory, and authority down here; especially as perpetually blessed by God up there.

THE NEED FOR GOD TO PLAY GOD OVER PAIN AND SUFFERING

For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. - Matthew 25:35-36. . . Wow God,and you created me so that in my sufferings, trials, and tribulations you can play a God to me? Wow God, are you really that sick considering you are already a supernatural Sap?

Democracy as a Theocracy in the Philippines

Living the fear of Life is Man's greatest of tragedies

Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. . . Nick Fatool Oh my dear Nick Fatool, I have no fear of either life or death. I am an atheist and therefore, rightly or wrongly, I am in control of my own destiny... It has more to do with my hopes of leaving this world one day as a better place than I found it; not necessarily in the material, but in the humanitarian, - sense. In other words, after death, I do not care to meet with God in HELL... I do not care to meet the devil in HEAVEN... I also do not care to meet Jesus together with his disciples, apostles, followers, and believers in PURGATORY... After my death, I look forward to existing peacefully again as a NOTHING. Just exactly like the way I existed peacefully for millions of years as a nothing before birth... In the meantime, it is truly sad and pathetic... A lot of my friends, relatives, associates, classmates, and schoolmates have already died on this earth... The problem is that they have NOT yet been buried. They still pretend to be alive; specially by praying daily to Jesus to forgive them of their sins and crimes while we, as Filipinos, are only getting more sick aimless as a people, and the Philippines is only getting rudderles going no where as a nation!

Energy Can Never be Created or Destroyed

Respect For the Truth

I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine. . . Bertrand Russell. . .

H. L. Mencken on Religious Beliefs

H. L. Mencken’s Religious Beliefs As for religion, I am quite devoid of it. Never, in my adult life, have I experienced anything that could be plausibly called a religious impulse. My father and grandfather were agnostics before me and, although I was sent to Sunday School as a boy and exposed to the Christian theology, I was never taught to believe it. My father thought that I should learn what it was, but it apparently never occurred to him that I would accept it. He was a good psychologist. What I got in Sunday School – beside a wide acquaintance with Christian hymnology – was, simply, a firm conviction that the Christian faith was full of palpable absurdities, and the Christian god preposterous. Since that time, I have read a great deal in theology – perhaps much more than the average clergyman – but I have never discovered any reason to change my mind. The act of worship, as carried on by Christians, seems, to me, to be debasing rather than ennobling. It involves grovelling before a Deity who, if He really exists, deserves to be denounced instead of respected. I see little evidence, in this world, of the so-called goodness of God. On the contrary, it seems to me that, on the strength of His daily acts, He must be set down a most cruel, stupid, and villainous fellow. I can say this with a clear conscience, for He has treated me very well – in fact, with vast politeness. But, I can’t help thinking of His barbaric torture of most of the rest of humanity. I simply can’t imagine revering the God of war and politics, theology and cancer. I do not believe in immortality and have no desire for it. The belief in it issues from the puerile egos of inferior men. In its Christian form, it is little more than a device for getting revenge upon those who are having a better time on this earth. What the meaning of human life may be, I don’t know: I incline to suspect that it has none. All I know about it is that, to me at least, it is very amusing, while it lasts. Even its troubles, indeed, can be amusing. Moreover, they tend to foster the human qualities that I admire most – courage, and its analogues. The noblest man, I think, is that one who fights God and triumphs over Him. I have had little of this to do. When I die, I shall be content to vanish into nothingness. No show, however good, could conceivably be good forever. – an extract from a letter H. L. Mencken wrote to Will Durant in 1931. The letter was published in On the Meaning of Life, edited by Will Durant (New York: Ray Long and Richard R. Smith, 1932). In 1931, Will Durant asked various public figures to contribute their opinions on the meaning of life, as they understood it. Their responses were published in the volume documented above. H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) was a journalist, literary and social critic, and author. Will Durant (1885-1981) was a historian of Western Civilization and author... Poch Suzara

Character Versus Faithful Believers

"Character is the sum total of all our thought, words, and deed." ... Philippine Star, July 20,2015... Character is what schools, colleges, and universities produce. However, in the Philippines, under a sick system of education, what is more produced is not character, but faithful believers - the sum of total of all that can be described as the combination of mediocrity, stupidity, and insanity for the sake of maintaining and supporting Christianity!

The Merger of the Evils of Communism and the Evil of Capitalism in China

The way to combat Communism is not war. What is needed in addition to such armaments as will deter Communists from attacking the West, is a diminution of the grounds for discontent in the less prosperous parts of the non-communist world. Communism is a doctrine bred of poverty, hatred and strife. Its spread can only be arrested by diminishing the area of poverty and hatred. . . . Bertrand Russell, Portraits From Memory And Other Essays, 1952. . . Oh my dear Bertrand Russell, surprisingly, Communism has been arrested due to, if not because of the guts and gumption, indeed, the rarity of human intelligence shown by the Chinese thinking government leadership: they managed to perform the greatest miracle in the world ever: they merged the evils of communism and the evils of capitalism together. China is the richest and most powerful economy in the world today. Almost 90 per cent of products consume by the whole wide world today is made in China! And to think ATHEISM is most prevalent in China as she has been an atheist nation since the 11th century!. . . Poch Suzara, Thoughts to provoke Your Thoughts, 2015... Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Filipinos can Never Afford to be Atheists

The Filipinos will never reject God or will ever deny His existence. Not in a million years. We Filipinos need God to forgive us of our sins and our crimes. No doubt, after the forgiveness of our sins and crimes, there is also the promise of a reward more known as "eternal salvation in heaven." All if takes to win it is MONEY. Lots of MONEY!

The Flexibility of the Man's Mind

“Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes --- As for me, I repeat: after having discovered the sanity and the beauty behind atheism, never, could I have ever, all over again, embrace the insanity or the childish pomposity behind theism. In the truest sense of the phrase: I would rather be a born-again atheist. Indeed, no child is born a Catholic or Muslim or Jew or Hinduist. All babies are born as atheists - without religion!- Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

A Life of Fear versus a Life of Courage

The idea of life in general in the Philippines as we are products of schools, colleges, and universities is to live a life of fear. Show to your friends, relatives, and associates that you would rather live a life of courage is something of a scandal, a horror, or a sin against God... Indeed, one of the greatest joys in life is to think what most people say you should never think about. But here's one tragedy in life most thoughtless people do not realize: if you do not build your own dreams, someone else will hire you to build theirs. --- Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Jesus was Not a catholic nor His Apostles were Christians

When Jesus called his 12 apostles together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Luke 9:1. . . Also, Jesus commissioned his disciples to "make disciples of all nation." Matt. 28:29. . . So how come the land where Jesus was born is still today not a catholic nor a Christian country? It is still a Jewish State. Indeed, I further asked: how come in the whole of Asia, only the Philippines got to be converted by the apostles of Jesus to be the only Catholic country in Asia, but not all Filipinos got be baptized Catholics. But with the power from Jesus, as the Son of God - how come we Filipinos have never been healed, specially as we are still famous as the SICK MAN OF ASIA? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
