The Corrupt and the Sick Man of Asia Not Yet Cured by the Holy Spirit

June 22, 2013 My Dearest Guys and Gals, I am told that AIDS, HIV, HIV patients and cancer, bone cancer, brain cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, mouth cancer, skin cancer, stomach cancer, cervical cancer, leukemia, syphilis, flu, innumerable kinds of cancer patients all over the world were healed by the Holy Spirit Power and confirmed by medical doctors that AIDS, HIV virus died completely and they were healed. I asked it before, I ask it again: What about the CORRUPT AND THE SICK MAN OF ASIA - when will the holy spirit cure such diseases endlessly spreading in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago? Consider the millions upon millions of Filipinos have been taught to believe and to have faith in the claim that GOD WILL PROVIDE FOR US CORRUPT AND SICK FILIPINOS; and if that were not yet forthcoming, His Son Jesus will soon be arriving to remedy the ills of our SICK SOCIETY! Hijos de tootie-frootie y patooties CONIO! MGA ULOL! GISING NA TAYO! Cheers! Poch Suzara

Oh My Dear Aldous Huxley

“The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.” ― Aldous Huxley Oh my dear Aldous Huxley, not so in the history of the Philippines. Nothing has changed; everything has remained the same: we are still ruled and dominated by the teachings of Jesus since the 16th century. That after death, we Filipinos will have a better life to come in the next world with God in heaven. Even corrupt teachers in school, and corrupt officials in our government believe and have faith in this corrupt holy baloney! --- Poch Suzara

Fucking is more Fun than Thinking in the Philippines

Where do most of our endless troubles as a people and endless problems as a nation come from? They come from too much FUCKING; hardly from THINKING. Indeed, in our country, there is hardly the birth of new and fresh ideas; only the birth of new babies. More than a million of them arrive every year, indeed yearly in the Philippines. Other men and women in other countries enjoy fucking too; but they fuck for fun; not for making unwanted, unloved, and uncared for needless babies. The evil monster that benefits from the horror is the Catholic church. More babies born every day insures the everlasting existence of the Catholic church and its big business in the Philippines. Especially as they are the owners of schools, colleges, and universities and other commercial enterprises established all over the Philippines. 80 per cent of the economy of the Philippines is owned and controlled by a few wealthy families and a few rich multinational corporations. On top and always ahead, with tax-free advantages, has been and still is the Catholic church - among the first to speak out loud against humanitarian plans for family planning and birth control measures. Not to mention health measures for women and children! Poch Suzara

Wow Jesus

We live most effectively for Christ when we keep our eyes on Him.--- Philippine Star, June 18, 2013. Wow Jesus, this has been going on daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly during these past 2,013 years. Are you really that cold-blooded in perfection, or just lost in self-admiration? Have you nothing more important to do with your life in heaven as a powerful son of a divinity except to be a silly clown for the rest of eternity? --- Poch Suzara

Public and Catholic Private Schools

Friedrich Nietzsche, Athiest/Philosopher

There is not enough love and kindness in the world to give any of it away to imaginary beings. Friedrich Nietzsche This is precisely what is sick about our sick system of education. We have been taught to believe that to love a divinity more known as the holy trinity up there is far more precious than to love our family, to love our country, and to love the whole of humanity down here. After all, that this life is nothing but a transition to the better life to come in the next world with God in heaven. What a lot of holy phooey marinated in ecclesiastical baloney inextricably mixed with sacred gooey insspiriring the ways of the tootie-frootie and patooties of this world. Thus poverty, squalor, filth, environmental degradation, misery, political mediocrity, social insanity, corruption, and biological perversity as among the main parts of our sick culture as a sick people struggling to survive in this poor and backward only Catholic country in Asia. In the meantime, I repeat: The Vatican Catholic bank is the richest, most powerful bank in the world today. The TENS OF BILLIONS of dollars remitted to the Philippines yearly by our OCWs is peanuts compared to the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars remitted to the Vatican Catholic bank monthly by Catholic countries around the world.

The Power of Prayer to Jesus

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7 Was there ever one Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH for not believing in the power of prayer to Jesus? So how come millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR for believing in the power of prayer to Jesus? Poch Suzara

Filipinos Employees for Foreign Employers here and Abroad

Our greatest glory in life is not in never falling but in rising up each time we fall. Confucius With us Filipinos in the Philippines, however, our greatest glory in life is to wait for the coming of our Savior Jesus as promised in the New Testament. While we get busy praying for a more efficient government to inspire more foreigners to come with their investment. In the meantime, the purpose of our schools, colleges, and universities as owned mostly by the Catholic church is to produce "employees" for these foreign employers here and in countries abroad. Poch Suzara

Our Free Will as inspired by God's Will

Man differs from the animals only by a little, and most men throw that little away. Confucius In the Philippines, thanks to our formative years in school, we Filipinos do not throw that little away. We hold on to it as faith in religious garbage and ecclesiastical trash. Such horrors are all around us more known as the result of our free will as inspired by God's Will. In the meantime, I said it before I say it again: Free Will prepares us for lies and deceptions under sick revelation. Free thought is better, it prepares us for the truth that generates human civilization. Poch Suzara

Examples of the Godly life in the Holy Bible

The most valuable commentary on the bible is a godly life. Philippine Star, June 4, 2013 Indeed, here are great examples of what that godly life is all about specially as faithfully followed daily by millions of Filipinos - not as the healthy masters, but as the sick victims of Christianity. In the new testament, Jesus said: "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his brother mother, father, wife and children and his own life, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 Here's more from Jesus, the Savior of Filipinos in the Philippines: "Do not think that I came to bring peace on Earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it." Matt. 10:34-37 Wow, listen to Jesus: "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." Luke 19:27 I said it before, I say it again: you do not need the bible to justify love, but no other book has ever been published to justify hate, especially hate of this life, and hate of this world. Our world. As an atheist, I rest my case! Poch Suzara

Jesus - Despicable as a Son of God Character

In the times when Jesus is reported to have lived, slavery was part of the economy. The reports state that Jesus accepted slavery and even supported corporal punishment of slaves up to the point of death but, in his heavenly mercy said not to the point of death. 1 Timothy 6:1-2 Jesus/God should have realized that to buy and sell humans like cattle in a market and to separate children from their parents would be considered almost as bad as murder by future generations but no, Jesus/God accepted it as natural. Considering this one fact alone why would anyone use the bible as a guide to moral family values or any values of humanity? Well, here's another verse from Jesus which makes him a despicable as a Son of God character: "If any man come to me and hate not father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethern, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 Poch Suzara

Education is Big Business inthe Philippines

Schools, Colleges and Universities in the Philippines are places where our corrupt men and corrupt women in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government are products of - including Marcos and his gang of corrupt cronies, not to mention our corrupt doctors in hospitals, and corrupt lawyers and corrupt judges in Courts of Law) To begin with, schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines are not educational institutions. They are more of commercial enterprises. Indeed, education is BIG BUSINESS in the Philippines. Just like organized crime is BIG BUSINESS anywhere in the world. Poch Suzara

Oh God, My Dear, Dear God

Sin may be hidden from others, but never from God. Philippine Star, June 1, 2013 Oh God, my dear God, how come you are never around? You are only always omni-absent; never omni-present! No one has seen you or has met with you. And yet, the most we can do is to offend you with sin? What kind of a sick joke is this? Your duty and responsibility as a God is to be a God to all of us? Is that hard to do? Really God, what kind of an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, all-supernatural Sap are you? Poch Suzara

So God Exists, So What

Prove to me that God exist and I will prove to you that I will continue to be a devout, if not a faithful atheist. So God exists. So, so what? I am more inclined to believe that extra-terrestrial beings from other planets arrived on this earth thousands of years ago, and they came to introduce to our primitive human ancestors the power of knowledge. Otherwise, if such extra-terrestrial beings came down to earth as GODS to save our silly souls away from eternal damnation, I said it before, I say it again: to hell with that holy extra-terrestrial garbage! In the conflict between science and religion, I will always take the side of science even if, at times, science is wrong. I never take the side of religion because it is always wrong. After tens of thousands of years already ahead of science, religion has yet to make one simple discovery to benefit mankind as a revealed truth, and not as a truth yet to be revealed. Bertrand Russell summarized it neatly: "religion encourages stupidity and an insufficient sense of reality." As for us Filipinos - the Sick Man of Asia, listen to Teodoro A. Agoncillo, a rare and a courageous Filipino historian: "Self-deception is the worst tragedy of the Filipinos as a people." Poch Suzara

Human Intelligence Against Corruption

The surest way to corrupt children in school is to instruct them to hold in the highest respect and admiration those who believe alike; and to never mind than those who think differently. Human intelligence is a never-ending process in discovering the truth. The business of discovery can only be accomplished not by those who believe alike, but precisely by those who think differently. In the ultimate analysis, we are all born ignorant, not corrupt. We are all made corrupt by a corrupt system of education. It begins with WHAT to believe. Basic education should only be about learning HOW to think! Poch Suzara

Family Unity, Social and Political

It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly. Bertrand Russell In the Philippines, it is preoccupation with faith in God's Will as a destiny, more than anything else, that prevents millions of Filipinos, specially those with college education, from living the good life - one that promotes family unity, social, religious and political sanity, - as inspired by love of common human decency in our country.

Oh Dear, My Dear Dan Brown

May 25, 2013 Dan Brown, author, INFERNO Dear Dan Brown, Around 30 per cent or 26 million Filipinos still have no access to sanitary toilets in the Philippines, data from two United Nations agencies show. The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization said 7.4 million of these Filipinos still poo and pee behind bushes, fields, plastic bags, ditches, canals, rivers, lakes, bridges, or along highway tracks. Indeed, it is more fun in the Philippines. Specially for its 6.3 million Senior citizens existing on an average of P6,000 pesos or $150 dollars monthly SSS pension. It's a hand to mouth struggle to go on living in this world. Sir, I am one of those Senior Citizens of the Philippines. Dan, I greatly enjoyed reading the way you described Metro Manila as the "Gates of Hell" in your latest book - INFERNO. With all due respect, may I remind you that there is only one bully character for souls to deal with in hell - the weird devil. So it is not really that dreadful compared to the many corrupt bullies we all have to deal with in our poor and backward and God-forsaken county. Indeed, in the Philippines, millions of us poor Filipinos have no recourse but to live with many corrupt characters comprising our sick society - in the church, in the government, in the media; and indeed, weird teachers and professors in schools, colleges, and universities owned and operated by the Catholic church. They still teach Filipino children not HOW to think, but only WHAT to believe - a disease more known as the Sick Man of Asia! Sir, aside from reading INFERNO to learn about the ills of our sick society - we have only to read what is reported and published daily in the Philippine Star, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin, and in other major newspapers in our country. We believe, however, that such horrors are not really horrors, because, for the most part, they are due to, if not because of our Free Will - God's greatest gift to Filipinos - the Sick Man of Asia. The Philippines is, indeed, a country famous for its poverty, suffocating pollution, political corruption, economic perversion, traffic jams, garbage here, filth there, horrifying sex trade, ill-health and shameless sanitation together with the jobless, the homeless, and the hopeless; not to mention the shantytowns that sprawl across trash dumps and cemeteries. millions of us poor Filipinos have also to accept the wealth, the power, and glory of the real owners of the Philippines - the Catholic church and its greedy partners in the world of trade and commerce. Sex trade in the Philippines is minor evil. What, however, is the major evil is the way we are inspired to produce 3 babies every minute the day and night; or, 4,320 babies daily; or 129,600 babies monthly; or 1.5 million babies yearly. Most of these children are neither loved nor wanted. They struggle to survive in the streets of our major cities. Their parents have been told to believe that God will provide for them anyway. If not in this life, in the next. Just pray and never lose faith. After all, God said in the bible that we must always multiply and replenish the earth. Also, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matt. 6:34 We Filipinos are not only religious. We are also superstitious. We carry false beliefs daily on our backs and we are crippled by its weigh. Sadly, instead of facing reconstruction with science and technology, what we seek is only self-deception, if not obliteration via more prayers under more of the same theology. As one high official in our government wrote to you saying: "Our faith in God binds us as a nation and we believe that Manila citizens are more than capable of exemplifying good character and compassion towards each other...Truly, our place is an entry to heaven." Let's now take a closer look at how exactly we Filipinos are loving and compassionate towards each other in our own country: God-fearing security guards are needed to assist God-fearing policemen to guard the entrance of hospitals, banks, schools, colleges, universities, shopping malls, residential buildings, hotels, motels, bars, night clubs, bookstores, drug stores, residential villages, movie theaters, restaurants, churches, cathedrals, public parks, museums, airports, harbors, MRT-LRT stations, bus stations, halls of justice, courts of law, barangay's office, mayor's office, governor's office; not to mention the entrance of the NBI building also guarded, defended, and protected by licensed security guards. I have asked it before, I ask it again: how blessed are we really by God for being the only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago? Sir, do you know that in blind faith we Filipinos continue to be the victims of the Holy Bible messages. It teaches us Filipinos to "love not this world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of God is not in Him." 1 John 2:15 It is, in this way, that we Filipinos believe the only holy thing of lasting value are those found in the heavenly world of God up there. Our country down here should be treated as something temporary, unworthy, low, if not depraved. After all, we are told, this life is merely a stopover on our journey to the next better life. Therefore the less love, less attention, and less affection placed on our country; and, at the same time, more love, more attention, and more affection are placed on God's kingdom - the better for all of us; especially as we are the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. In the meantime, the Catholic Vatican bank is far richer, far more powerful than the Federal bank of the USA. Dan Brown, my dear sir, for being honest and truthful about the horrors of freedom and democracy in the Philippines, I salute you. Power is the ability to produce intended effects. I wish you more power! With all good wishes, Poch Suzara Makati city, Philippines May 13, 2013

Religion, Lies, and deceptions in the Philippines

Religion encourages stupidity and an insufficient sense of reality. Bertrand Russell In the Philippines, however, religion promotes lies and deceptions, if not more of the same old historical degradation. Millions of Filipino children are still taught in school to believe in Jesus - the Savior of our sick souls for the sake of the wealth and power of Christianity in our poor and backward country. I said it before, I say it again: It is foolish to believe that the priesthood industry is only acting in their churches and cathedrals. Nay, they are acting more effectively in schools, colleges, and universities. It is what the Sick Man of Asia is mostly about.Poch Suzara

Only In the Philippines 2013

3 babies are born every minute of the day and night or 1.5 million babies born yearly. It means not the spread of health and sanitation; nor the growth and maturity of civilization. It simply means that millions of our women are more than willing to produce not nutritious goodies to benefit the Filipino community, but to produce only more babies to benefit the priesthood industry, pharmaceutical industry, education industry, and the industry of religious insanity down here for the greater glory of a sick divinity up there. In this already 21st century, formative years in school is still about WHAT to believe; not about HOW to think. Thus, poverty in our country, traditionally, continue to be poverty of the worst kind: poverty of the mind and heart. If you wish to learn more about how sick we are as the Sick Man of Asia - you can read it published daily in the Philippine Star, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin, and in other major newspapers in our country. Readers are made to laugh, not think! A convicted felon in jail can legally vote during election; but what is even more legal is that a convicted felon out of jail is allowed to run for congress. In the recent election, all of the 12 candidates who made it to the senate are all maka-dios. All faithful to the Lord. They therefore thanked the Lord first and then thanked second the people who voted for them. After all, only the Lord and the people can forgive them of their upcoming sins and crimes. Free Will does not mean the will to study, read, learn, explore, investigate, question, experiment, examine, analyze, or the freedom to think. It only means that we are free to believe anything we want to believe. And it does not matter whether they are or true or not. We Filipinos have nothing great going on for us except a Jewish Savior - the Son of Jewish Lord, born in a foreign land more than 2,000 years ago. This is the same Lord who preached: "Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Parents love the Lord more than they love their children. And due to a sick system of education during formative years in school, children learn to love the Lord more than they love their parents. Indeed, self-destruction is the worst tragedy of the Filipino as a family. No doubt greed is insatiable. In the Philippines, however, among the corrupt politicians in the government, greed is not only insatiable, but also negotiable, transferable, pardonable, fashionable, and indeed, respectable. Unless managed by an efficient government, foreign investment in the Philippines will only amount to the same old recycled testament. Instead of growth as a people and maturity as a nation, there is only the same old history of poverty of the vast majority in our blessed by God country. If you were an atheist or a nonbeliever of the faith you are known to be a man devoid of intelligence. A man bereft of moral fiber. A loser, and a failure. An evil man who should be jailed or publicly ostracized. If, however, you were a devout believer of the faith, or a Born Again Christian, or a famous maka-dios personality - you are highly qualified to run for office in the government. Specially if you are good, even if good for nothing, The bible is, indeed, holy. It still teaches Filipinos to believe that the only holy thing of lasting value are those found in the heavenly world of God up there. Our country down here should be treated as something low, unworthy, and depraved. After all, this life is merely a stopover on our journey to the next life. Therefore the less love, less attention, and less affection placed on our country; and, at the same time, more love, more attention, and more affection are placed on God's kingdom - the better for all of us; especially as we are the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Millions of Filipinos are now living in foreign countries - we are there working as "employees." When those foreigners are living in our country, they are here as our "employers." It is the sick reflection of our sick system of education. God-fearing security guards are needed to assist our God-fearing policemen to guard the entrance of government buildings, hospitals, banks, schools, colleges, universities, shopping malls, residential buildings, hotels, motels, bars, night clubs, bookstores, drug stores, residential villages, movie theaters, restaurants, churches, cathedrals, public parks, museums, airports, harbors, MRT-LRT stations, bus stations, halls of justice, courts of law, barangay's office, mayor's office, governor's office, and the entrance of the NBI building also guarded by security guards. I ask: are we really that blessed by God being the only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago? Poch Suzara

God Seldom Does Great Things in a Hurry!

God seldom does great things in a hurry. Philippine Star, May 15, 2013 In the Philippines, however, after 400 years of faith in God as the only Catholic country in Asia, God has yet to reciprocate by doing something real - like spiritual health or intellectual wealth - for us Filipinos - the Sick Man of Asia.

My Dear Senator Rene Saguisag

May 10, 2013 Oh dear, my dear Senator Rene Saguisag, If only our schools, colleges, and universities have more to do with the power of knowledge, the values of Filipino intelligence, and the endless pursuit of the truth and happiness and improvement in the here and for the now. Indeed, if only our system of education have been more about what it means to be intellectually rich in spirit rather than just be religiously poor in spirit - we Filipinos should already be ahead as a nation in all of Asia today. Unfortunately for us, we only continue to be famous as the "Sick Man of Asia." We have neither integrity and nor sagacity in our social, political, and cultural responsibility. We are only proud in having concocted for ourselves a Republic of mediocrity as inspired by the teachings of Christianity. Especially for the few rich to get richer, while the many poor get poorer! Jesus Christ in the holy bible neatly summarized it for all of us Filipinos in this only Catholic country in Asia: "I am a way, the life, and the truth." John 14:6 And to think that all of the corrupt officials in our government even before the Marcos dictatorial years - were all faithful and still are faithful followers of Jesus who declared: "If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—such a person cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 Of course, let us not forget Jaime Cardinal Sin - the Archbishop then of Manila - always present during the birthday celebration of the Marcos children at the palace. Blowing up party trumpets and passing out colorful balloons! Indeed, the same Jaime Cardinal Sin who, after the criminals in Washington rescued Marcos and his vast wealth out of the Philippines - immediately blessed Cory Aquino as the new President of the Philippines. With Cardinal Sin as her adviser, she started a series of reforms. That is, to organize more effective "prayer rallies" - to end the never-ending troubles historical in our country: those more fortunate in our sick society continue to exploit legally those who are less fortunate. I said it before, I say it again: We are all born ignorant; not corrupt. We are made corrupt by a system of education. La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, UST, Assumption college, AIM and, indeed, University of the Philippines, etc. They are places where we Filipinos learn how to be indifferent to fellow-Filipinos; how not to stand up for ourselves as a free and independent people; how to ignore love of country in order to defend and protect nothing except the wealth, power, and glory of Christianity in the Philippines. Oh yes, corruption is endemic here, pandemic there, and is satanic everywhere in the Philippines. The only kind of freedom we Filipinos know how to enjoy is the freedom to enjoy corruption. Corruption is reflected daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly in the Filipino way of life! We even call it: free will. But who cares? After all, there is always Jesus up there ready and willing to forgive our thoughtless sins and mindless crimes at any time down here. We have only to repent. In the ultimate analysis, thanks to our corrupt system of education, life in general in our country can only be characterized as the corrupt competition to be the criminal or be the victim of the criminals. Again, such horrors are often referred to as the Sick Man of Asia gifted with a free will down here as inspired by a kind and loving God from up there. Cheers!

It Takes a Nation to Build a Nation

We are told that we need to vote in this election because it takes a nation to build a nation. On the contrary, it takes education to build a nation; especially the kind that have nothing to do with lies and deceptions; or anything to do with divine revelation in order to win eternal salvation via social degradation, economic prostitution, priestly intimidation, and political corruption. What we need is a nation with schools, colleges, and universities that produces year in and year out not frightened religious followers, but intellectually courageous leaders. All at home, first and foremost, with health and sanitation as the decent foundation of a decent nation. But then again, who cares? Schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines are big commercial enterprises; hardly are they educational institutions. Poch Suzara

My dear Fellow-Filipinos, Our barangay captains, mayors, governors, congressmen, senators, and indeed, President and Vice-president of our Republic are, no doubt, the leaders of our country.

And to think that our Filipino leaders all share something wonderful in common together: they are all Maka-Dios as faithful Catholics in the Philippines. What evidences have I to make such a fantastic claim? I have tons of them. Please read daily our major newspapers, such as Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, Manila Bulletin, etc. There, reported and published daily, are the evidences in this already 21st century - just how sick and aimless we are as a people; and, just how sick and rudderless we are as a nation. Especially for the glory of a non-Catholic Jewish Son of God Jesus in heaven as he is in the Philippines! Hijos de Tootie-Frootie y Patooties! Mga kababayan GISING NA TAYO! TAMA NA!

Our Short, Brief, Fleeting Life on this earth

Life on this earth offers a variety of choices; eternity, however, offers only two: a silly God in a silly hell or a silly devil in a silly heaven. For part, I'd rather make the most of my life on this earth - short, brief, and fleeting as life is on this earth. It is the only life we have. It is the only life we know. Life elsewhere after death is a childish, if not a ridiculous - situation. There is no such thing as life after death. After all, when we die, we die entirely, not partially. Nothing is more evident to him who is not delirious. The human body, after death, is but a mass of meat incapable of producing any movements the union of which constitutes life. We no longer see circulation, respiration, digestion,speech, or reflection. Nothing is more natural and more simple than to believe that the dead man lives no more. Nothing is more absurd than to believe that the dead man is still living. Indeed, immortality is the condition of a dead man who does not believe that he is already dead. In the meantime, on this earth, I would rather be an enlightened thinker than be a frightened believer. A thinker is an atheist who cares! If I must leave this world one day, I should, however, like to leave it a better place than how I found it. Not necessarily in the material, but in the humanitarian sense. Poch Suzara

The Greatest of Joys in Life

The greatest of all joys is not the joy of sexual satisfaction; but the joy of intellectual stimulation.

Life, in the ultimately analysis, is a sexually transmitted disease with a mortality rate of 100 per cent! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Filthy Rich Filipinos and Filthy Poor Filipinos

Oh Elsa, my Dear Elsa, The worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart. On the other hand, the greatest of wealth is mental health. I am sad for you. You seem to believe, at your age today, that for as long as we have faith in God, it does not matter whether we are ruled by lies as a people, and dominated by deceptions as a nation. My dear, I asked it before, I ask it again: Have you ever met a Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH for believing that God is BAD? So how come millions upon millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR and yet they all believe that God is GOOD? Cheers! and Take care! Poch Suzara

Jesus on Earth as he is in Heaven

My dear Elsa "About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said,“I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven." Matt 18:1-3 Notice in the bible Jesus does not bother to explain where or on which galaxy is the Kingdom of God located. A galaxy contains an average of 400 billion stars and planets. And there are billions of such galaxies existing out there. More to the point, after death, like misguided children, by what mode of transportation do we embark on in order to travel to heaven? Again, Jesus never told any one how to do so! For my part, after I am dead, and somehow I will find myself in a place known as the"kingdom of God" this is the very first thing I will do - look for my father, brother, uncles, aunts, my maternal and paternal grandparents, cousins. Then I will look for my friends and associates, and classmates in school. But most of all, I would love to meet with Bertrand Russell, Jose Rizal, Will Durant, Madlyn O'Hair, Voltaire, Robert Ingersoll, Thomas Paine, Karl Marx, Buddha, Thomas Jefferson, Socrates, indeed, Carl Sagan, and all of the great men and women who brought enlightenment into the human mind on this earth. Otherwise, if these relatives, friends, associates, mentors and teachers of mine are not in the kingdom of God - I say: to hell with this worthless kingdom! I'd rather be in hell! Indeed, I have enough of Jesus up to my neck on this earth; for me to be with Jesus once again and this time in heaven, I say: - NO WAY JOSE - OVER MY DEAD BODY! Cheers! Poch Suzara

God created our Congressmen and Senators in the Philippines

My dear Bodjie, God as the designer of man raises more problems than it solves: who designed the Designer? In the meantime, the bible says: “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground: for out of it was thou taken: for dust art thou and unto dust shalt thou return.” Genesis 3:19 Well, if God designed man in his own image and likeness, and man is made of dust, then God must be made of Supernatural Dust himself. For my part, I refuse to believe, love, worship, and adore such a weird Dust be it someone unknown even if more referred to as supernatural, celestial, universal, extra-terrestrial or Jesuitical. Really Bodjie, can you truly believe in the existence of a creator who created the congressmen and senators of the legislative branch of the Philippine government? c.c.

Is there Power in Prayer

My Dear Blanca, Thanks for writing. Yes, I have no right to pray to God since I do not believe in his existence... But the issue is: what about those millions upon millions of Pinoys and Pinays who believe in God and have not STOPPED praying to God because their prayers have not, as yet, been answered?Indeed, the majority of us Filipinos continue to live as the VICTIMS, as the employees; and not as the MASTERS, as the employers in our own country - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century... Blanca, I asked it before, I ask it again: - Have you ever heard of a Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH for believing that God is BAD? Well, how come millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR for believing that God is GOOD? Poch Suzara

The Easiest and the Hardest thing to Learn

"The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn." ― Bertrand Russell The easiest thing to learn in life is to believe in God. It does not require any level of intelligence. No effort is needed. All that is necessary to believe in God is to live a life of fear and hate of this world. - Poch Suzara

Matter In Existence Composed of NOTHING

"Atoms are mainly empty space. Matter is composed chiefly - of nothing ... Atoms are composed of only three kinds of elementary particles - protons, neutrons and electrons... means modern physics and chemistry have reduced the complexity of the sensible world to astonishing simplicity: three units put together in different patterns make essentially - everything!" Carl Sagan "The more we learn, the less we know; every advance reveals new mysteries and new uncertainties; the molecules disclosed the atom, the atom discloses the electron, the electron discloses the quantum, and the quantum defies and overleaps all our categories and all our laws. Education is a moulting of dogmas, a progress in the art of doubt. Our instruments, we perceive, are bound up with matter, and our senses are bound up with mind; it is through these mists that we "flakes on the water," would understand the ocean." Will Durant "We found that matter, in modern science, has lost its solidity and substantiality; it has become a mere ghost haunting the scenes of its former splendor. In pursuit of something that could be treated as substantial, physicists analyzed ordinary matter into molecules, molecules into atoms, atoms into electrons and protons. There, for a few years, analysis found a resting place. But now electrons and protons themselves are dissolved into a system of radiations by Heisenberg, and into a system of waves by Schrodinger - the two theories amount mathematically to much of the same thing. And these are not wild metaphysical speculations; they are sober mathematical calculations, accepted by a great majority of experts." Bertrand Russell Education is a lifetime adventure; and if there is, after death, a next life in a next world, it would only make sense if it means for us more learning via endless studying! To be with God and his son Jesus in heaven already full of angels after death for the rest of eternity is boring, monotonous, silly, childish, stupid, and insane! If there were existing a big library of books in heaven, I'd be happy to end up in heaven; even if there were no Gods up there! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Weird Holy Bible

Anything existing in this world begins as something NEW then it becomes OLD. The existence of the holy bible is such a weird book: it begins with the OLD testament; then it becomes the NEW testament. If I were one of God's inspired authors of the holy bible, I will not write: IN THE BEGINNING to begin the OLD testament; instead, I will write IN THE BEGINNING precisely to begin the NEW testament! Now here's something more ticklish about the holy bible: According to the bible God has no beginning and no end. God is from "everlasting to everlasting." (Psa 90:2). So when John wrote: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 - John was revealing exactly WHAT in the beginning of WHAT, in WHAT, and for WHAT?

From Erection to Resurrection

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 "Give us your children for the first 7 years of its life and we will give you Filipinos." Jesuit motto. During our formative years in school - we were never taught HOW to think; only WHAT to believe. Thus, instead of education to be a healthy nation populated by readers, thinkers, and leaders; we are only a people of sick prayers, sick believers, sick followers, boxers, singers and dancers; not to mention sick lawyers as sick lawmakers. In the meantime, millions of Filipinos now living and working in some 198 countries around the world. They are more known as "employees." When, however, foreigners are living and working in the Philippines, they are more known as our "employers." Poch Suzara

Sick Religion Behind the Sick Man of Asia

Indeed, if our system of education made sense at all, we Filipinos should be ahead of everyone else in Asia today. Enjoying neither damnation nor salvation, but enjoying scientific growth and technological development of Filipino civilization. Unfortunately, due to our sick system of education, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still busy arguing back and forth whether Jesus, some 2,000 years ago, died on the cross to remedy the past sins of the Jews; or, resurrected back to life to remedy the future sins of the Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Jesus-freak country in the whole of Asia since the 16th century! I asked it before, I ask it again: after 400 years of Catholicism in order to straighten the mess out of the Filipino minds and hearts in this only Catholic country in Asia, how come even the Philippines, already a Republic, is only proud of itself as a nation of Catholics. As with me, for the sake of dignity and self-respect, I decided to walk out of the Catholic church. I no longer have need to love a great divinity. I have, instead, learned to love something bigger, taller, and greater: - the existence of my family, my country, and the whole of humanity on this earth globally.

On Death and How to Stay Dead

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely be the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.- Steve Jobs “I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive. I am not young and I love life. But I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting. Many a man has borne himself proudly on the scaffold; surely the same pride should teach us to think truly about man's place in the world. Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cosy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own.” - Bertrand Russell What if it is for life's sake that we must die? In truth we are not individuals; and it is because we think ourselves such that death seems unforgivable. We are temporary organs of the race, cells in the body of life; we die and drop away that life may remain young and strong. If we were to live forever, growth would be stifled, and youth would find no room on earth. Death, like style, is the removal of rubbish, the excision of the superfluous. In the midst of death life renews itself immortally. - Will Durant “I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” - Mark Twain This is, perhaps, the essence of atheistic grief and also the essence of atheistic hope. To understand that death is the end of existence and that it is inevitable, but to live as if it is not. To refuse to be resigned to death even as we refuse to deny its permanence - we must nevertheless care for all that is not yet dead on our planet. At any rate, after my own death, if I shall have to be with God in hell, or to be with the Devil in heaven, or to be with Jesus and his disciples like my grade school and high school teachers in La Salle, like Bro. Eduardo Manalo of Iglesia Ni Cristo, Bro. Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, Bro. Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Church, or Pastor Apollo Quiboloy of the Restorationist Christian Church, etc in Purgatoy, I say - no way, Jose. Over my dead body. I'd rather stay buried in the cemetery with my precious books forever and ever till the end of time and space.- Poch Suzara

Lead us Not into Temptation Baloney

Every day millions of Catholics pray to a Catholic God to "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." As the losers in the fight against temptation and evil, however, Catholics have no other recourse but to pray also to Mary, the Catholic Mother of God, to pray for us Catholic sinners, now and at the hour of our Catholic death, amen." For my part, I am most proud to have walked out of the Catholic church ever since my La Salle teachers in high school also told me to GET out of their Catholic FREE WILL classrooms. My intellectual evolution was far more precious than the free temptation of playing the FREE WILL games with a silly Catholic Divinity. Poch Suzara

The Pleasures on Earth as it is in Heaven

"The pleasures of earth cannot be compared to the joys of heaven." Philippine Star, Apr. 10, 2013 Heaven must be a place for those who are faithfully insane. Especially when they look back at their dead bodies buried on earth rotting and being eaten away by worms and maggots that in turn are also being eaten away by bacteria, germs, and viruses. In the meantime, I ask: if the greatest pleasure on earth is the joy of intellectual understanding - how is it possible that the greatest pleasure in heaven is the joy of spiritual flicky-flating.

The 7 Last Words of Jesus dying on the Cross

Christ Jesus died on the Cross to redeem mankind, to save us from our sins because of his love for men, women, and children. As recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the Holy Bible, Jesus Christ was mocked, scorned, and tortured in the praetorium. He carried his cross up the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem to Calvary, was nailed to the Cross and hung between two common criminals, and suffered an indescribable end, recalled by the Church on Good Friday of Holy Week. Here are his Seven Words, the last seven expressions of Jesus Christ on the Cross recorded in Scripture. THE FIRST WORD "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." Gospel of Luke 23:34 THE SECOND WORD "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Gospel of Luke 23:43 THE THIRD WORD "Jesus said to his mother: "Woman, this is your son." Then he said to the disciple: "This is your mother." Gospel of John 19:26-27 THE FOURTH WORD "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 THE FIFTH WORD "I thirst." Gospel of John 19:28 THE SIXTH WORD When Jesus had received the wine, he said,"It is finished;" and he bowed his head and handed over the spirit. Gospel of John 19:30 THE SEVENTH WORD Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Gospel of Luke 23:46 After hearing these last seven words from his dying Son Jesus crucified half-naked on the cross, God said: "Oh my dear son Jesus, for Christ's sake, grow up! You are such a cry-baby! What's the drama all about your dying on the cross since you never stayed dead to begin with? On the 3rd day, you will resurrect back to life from death? So what are you being so melodramatic about?" As a matter of fact, what exactly have you finished, as you said: "IT IS FINISHED!" Didn't you, a while back, promised to return? Poch Suzara

Evil Triumphant in the Philippines

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing.” Edmund Burke In the Philippines, there is no such thing as good men; and if there were, they are only busy believing that they are good by committing the greatest of crimes - the crime of silence.

The Results of our Daily Prayers

Prayers never bring anything . . . They may bring solace to the sap, the bigot, the ignorant, the aboriginal, and the lazy - but it is the same as asking Santa Claus to bring you something for Xmas. - - - W. C. Fields Praying is like rocking chair - it will give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere. - - - Gypsy Rose Lee Prayer is like a pump in an empty well, it makes a lot of noise, but brings no water. - - - Lemuel K. Washburn When you talk to God, it is called "praying." When God talks to you, it is called "hallucinating." Our culture of corruption comes mostly from God leading us always into temptation despite our daily prayer to God to "lead us not into temptation." The Son of God Jesus, crucified on the cross, prayed out loud: "MY GOD, MY GOD WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME?" I can hear God replying: Oh Jesus, for Christ's sake - grow up! You are such a cry-baby! In the meantime, after all of our prayers to God daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly since the 16th century - these are the results in this already 21st century Philippines: homelessness, joblessness, mindlessness, poverty, misery, economic perversity, social insanity, political stupidity, corruption, lies, and deceptions - all for the greater glory of Jesus on earth as he is in heaven. Not to mention more than 1,200 schools, colleges, and universities blessed, own and operated by the Catholic church tax-free that continue to teach us to love that God is love but he needs money!t.- - - Poch Suzara

Mediocrity Behind Divinity

In the Philippines, in order to succeed in the world of trade and commerce one must be greedy, selfish, stupid, corrupt, and insane. Not to mention one must always be inspired by a silly divinity. In the meantime, some men are born mediocre. Some men achieve a reputation for mediocrity, specially as the hope to be successful as a corrupt politician one day. A lot of men, however, have been frightened into mediocrity. Specially as they are products of education during the formative years in Catholic schools. Poch Suzara

Oh God, My dear God, please Wake Up!

"Each person has his place in God's service, and only God deserves the glory." Philippine Star, April 6, 2013 Oh God, my dear God, as you are already a God, and have been a God since the days of Adam and Eve, do you really need more service from the millions of poor Filipinos today already faithfully serving you daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly?

Social Ills in the Philippines

May 9,2014 Phil Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Sirs: When one person has faith in a grand delusion, it is called insanity. When millions of people have faith in a grand delusion, like in the Philippines, it is called Christianity. There was a time when every man, woman, and child in this world believed in the existence of God - loved, adored, obeyed, and had faith in God. Historians refer to it as the Dark Ages. It lasted for a thousand years - from the 5th to the 15th century. During this time, however, no one dared to think; no one dared to bring enlightenment to the human mind. Everybody loved only God in heaven up there; especially by hating one another on this earth down here. Today, 99 million Filipinos out of 100 million believe in the existence of God, love God, obey God, worship God, and adore God. We still live in the Dark Ages; though it is referred to as "social ills." But according to the Catholic Bishops - God and only God can remedy the ills of our sick society. We must only pray. If nothing happens, we must pray harder. If nothing still happens, it is because we do not know how to pray! At any rate, no matter what happens, we must never question God's divine plan for the Philippines - a country for poor Filipinos, but more so for the rich foreigners - our employers. Our investors. Indeed, our Saviors! No doubt, social ills are a historical reality in our country. Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle described such horrors as: "The tombs of hunger, unemployment, homelessness, violence, discrimination, injustice and corruption." If I may add, the tombs also more known as schools, colleges, and universities: The breeding grounds for having faith in social insanity and political stupidity. Otherwise less referred to as "corruption by education" in our poor and backward only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. In the meantime, the new Vicar of Christ - "Pope Francis used his first Easter Sunday address to call for peace in the world." It is incredible, how Pope Francis, the sole representative of the Son of God Jesus, ignores the clear message from Jesus as written by inspired authors of God in the holy bible: “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." Matt. 10:34-37 I said it before, I say it again: The troubles in our world begin with the troubles in the human family. Now listen carefully to Jesus, preaching as the savior of our troubled world. “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. And whosoever does not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26-27 For my part, I am a humanist. This means that I am an atheist who cares. I rest my case. Cheers!

If Only Jesus Bothered to Resurrect

I said it before, I say it again: If Jesus only bothered to resurrect the dead minds and dead hearts of his apostles; his friends and relatives; his neighbors; and specially the dead minds and dead hearts of the women and children in his community; and, indeed, resurrected the dead minds and dead hearts behind the Roman Empire - no one, but no one would have bothered to get Jesus crucified dead on a piece of wood some 2,000 years ago. Sadly, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos in the Philippines - because of our own dead minds and dead hearts - otherwise more known as "faith in Jesus," we still yearly mourn the death of Jesus, crucified on a piece of wood, some 2,000 years ago in a foreign land populated not by Filipinos, but by the Jews otherwise more known as the CHOSEN PEOPLE OF GOD. Hijos de tootie-frootie y patooties - GISING NA TAYO MGA PINOY! Even the Jews have learned to become great as a THINKING and a RESPONSIBLE people. They do not waste precious time and precious energy believing that Jesus, the Savior of the world, has ever SAVED them or saved any other people in this world for that matter. Poch Suzara

Thinking by Walking

All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking. Friedrich Nietzsche, Philosopher For my part, right after breakfast, I walk a mile every day of the year. That's where I do most of my thinking via questioning - everything - for the purpose of my writing, if not re-writing. In the meantime, I said it before, I say it again: In this life, we shall never find the truth; that is what makes life tragic. But to stop searching for the truth makes life even more tragic. No doubt, finding the truth is like finding a drop of truth in the ocean. It is, however, precisely what gives meaning and significance to the whole existence of the ocean. Poch Suzara, Atheist

Spirituality has more to do with Asking More Questions

“The learning of something new requires a giving up of the old self and a death of outworn knowledge. To develop a broader vision we must be willing to forsake, to kill, our narrower vision. In the short run it is more comfortable not to do this – to stay where we are, to keep using the same microcosmic map, to avoid suffering the death of cherished notions. The road to spiritual growth, however, lies in the opposite direction. We begin by distrusting what we already believe, by actively seeking the threatening and the unfamiliar, by deliberately challenging the validity of what we have previously been taught and hold dear. The path to holiness lies through questioning EVERYTHING.” M. Scot Peck, Psychiatrist, author of ROAD LESS TRAVELED For my part, I said it before, I say it again: seek answers to your questions, but never belittle the power of formulating better kinds of questions. Otherwise gullibility takes over to support mediocrity - a horror that insures the survival of Christianity. More questions are always more valuable than the ready-made answers. Indeed, to stop asking questions is to stop thinking thereby constraining the power of one's spiritual life. “The truth,” wrote Bertrand Russell, “is a shining goddess, always veiled, always distant, never wholly approachable, but worthy of all the devotion the human spirit is capable.” Poch Suzara Facebook# twitter# Google#
