As an Atheist, I Have No Need to Serve Two Masters on this Earth

"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." . . . Jesus in Matthew 6:24 ... Oh Jesus, my dear Jesus, as a Filipino, I do not hate; on the contrary, I love wealth - the greatest of which is the wealth of a free mind and a free heart! As an atheist, I am the master of my own destiny in life... Why should I still bother to serve you by playing silly games with your silly greedy church earning nothing but the wealth in money and more money on this earth; especially as the owner of the millions of Filipino minds and hearts and as the owner of the Catholic Republic of the Philippines? ... Not to mention the owner of more than a thousand Catholic schools, colleges, and universities operating tax-free basis in the Philippines... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

We Filipinos Are Not allowed to be Christians According to the Holy Bible

“Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia," ... Acts 16:6... Hey you religious faithfools, how come you people do not even know that according to the Holy Ghost in the holy bible we Filipinos are not allowed to be Christians in Asia? . . . Come on you frightened faithfools, when will you people begin to seriously read the HOLY BIBLE and begin to understand that the Holy Ghost in the holy bible never gave 3 hoots for us Asians be converted from a healthy sanity into sick Christianity.. . .

The Philippines Should Learn From China

In China, for the sake of growth as a people, and development as a nation, the journey of a thousand miles begin with the first step. Together in unity under atheism... In the Philippines, for the sake of being losers as a people, and  for being failures as a nation, the journey of one mile begins with a thousand steps. On each other.

Utterly Childish, Totally Useless Prayers

Many college educated Filipinos with doctorates and master's degree still pray. From infancy to senility they continue to believe in the power of prayer. Unfortunately, God - the Father, could not answer the prayer of the son of God Jesus - Indeed, the same Jesus who, crucified on the cross, prayed out loud: My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? Well, as a self-expelled La Salle high school student, I asked: why couldn’t Jesus as a God himself, answer His own prayer? Jesus was obviously just bragging to high heavens when He declared: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Poor Jesus, the Son of God, a gang of no read, no write, superstitious primitives ( created in the image and likeness of His Father God ) managed to get Jesus crucified on a piece of wood? John 14:6. I said it before, I say it again: The existence of hospitals prove that prayers are utterly useless. As a matter of fact, if prayers work, we must pray harder for more hospitals, especially mental asylums, to be established throughout the Philippines. We need such facilities to hospitalize and help cure the Sick Man of Asia such as our sick men and sick women in congress and in the Senate who has never cease to brag that they are all Maka-dios and Maka-Jesus. Imagine these people in this already 21st century. They still believe that the health and wealth and the general promotions of Filipino decency throughout the Philippines as a nation can only be a reality as soon as the Son of God Jesus from heaven will return back to earth!

21 reasons Why I Abandoned Christianity

21 Reasons why I abandoned Christianity... Christianity is based on fear... Christianity preys on the innocent... Christianity is based on dishonesty... Christianity is extremely egocentric... Christianity breeds arrogance, a chosen-people mentality... Christianity breeds authoritarianism... Christianity is cruel... Christianity is anti-intellectual, anti-scientific... Christianity has a morbid, unhealthy preoccupation with sex... Christianity produces sexual misery... Christianity has an exceedingly narrow, legalistic view of morality... Christianity encourages acceptance of real evils while focusing on imaginary evils... Christianity depreciates the natural world... Christianity models hierarchical, authoritarian organization... Christianity sanctions slavery... Christianity is misogynistic... Christianity is homophobic... Christianity and its Bible is not a reliable guide to Christ's teachings... Christianity and its Bible is riddled with contradictions and absurdities... Christianity borrowed its central myths and ceremonies from other ancient religions... Christianity arrested, incarcerated, and public executed one of my Intellectual fathers - Jose Rizal... If any of you wish to know the details of any one of the above reasons, let me know... I'd be happy to supply you the horror for your attention... Poch Suzara, Twitter# Facebook# Google#

My Dear Senator Rene Saguisag,

My Dear Senator Rene Saguisag,“ It is the duty and responsibility of every thinking man to always be on the side of the living, not of the dying.

If There is a God

Those who feel nobly, even if in their day they live obscurely, need not fear that they will have lived in vain... Something radiates from their lives, some light that shows the way to their friends, their neighbors, perhaps to long future ages... I find many men nowadays oppressed with a feeling that in the vastness of modern societies there is nothing of importance that the individual can do... This is a mistake. The individual, if he is filled with love of mankind, with breadth of vision, with courage and with endurance, can do a great deal... Bertrand Russell..

Poverty of the Worst Kind in the Philippines

Dear Mar Patalinjug, You are 100 per cent right on target... Out of the 100 million population of the Philippines, 30 million Filipinos are caught in the sticky quagmire of poverty, living lives of extreme degradation and dehumanization... Mar, may I, however, point out that the rest of the population in our country suffer from poverty of even the worst kind - the poverty of the mind and heart... Such horrors have always kept us Filipinos poor spiritually as a people and mentally retarded historically as a nation!!! I have asked it before, I ask it again: Have we ever heard of 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! I can only repeat - the worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart... Such horrors have been what our sick system of education has been and still is mostly about! With all best wishes, Poch Suzara Twitter# Google# Facebook#

The Chinese in China Compared to the Filipinos in the Philippines

98 per cent of all Chinese daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly activities in China have only to do with nothing but work, work, and more work for the benefit of the human race down here... In the Philippines, 98 per cent of all Filipino daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly activities have only to do with pray, pray, and more praying for the benefit from divine grace up there... Chinese have been irreligious as a people since the 11th century. We Filipinos have been nothing but religious as a people since the 16th century... For my part, as a Filipino atheist, I hate religion as I hate anything based on fear... Fear never promotes mental growth. Fear is a reflection of intellectual immaturity. I hate religion because it enhances deadly believing, not lively thinking. Nothing evolved in religion... The religious lies and deceptions told to our ancestors during the first century are still same old lies and deceptions told to our children in school in this 21st century... If only religion had been more about the courage to live, and not about the fear of death; indeed, if only religion were about the search of the truth, and not that this or that is the truth – I would have learned to love passionately, and not hate religion justifiably... Moreover, never, would I have ever self-expelled myself out of De la Salle University high school. Religion has been more about being a part of the security system organized by the church... It is a great business to gain wealth, power, glory, and authority... Sadly, however, there is no such thing as a security system anywhere in this world... Not as long as there is birth, growth, death, and decay... In the ultimate analysis, however, if only religion had never taught us that to be human means to be evil, fallen, and in need of rescue - religion need not have proceeded to be the greatest evils that keep the human race still pretty much bogged down in endless disgrace... As a Filipino atheist, I have every respect and admiration for the Chinese people in China... In their schools, colleges, and universities - they are taught to believe that this world can be made better in the here and now. They do not believe in the silly promises of the priesthood industry that there is a better world to come but only after we are all DEAD, GONE, and BURIED! Poch Suzara Facebook# Google# Twitter#

PRAY FOR THE CONVERSION OF RUSSIA - NO KIDDING?

When we were boys and girls in school and at home some 60 years ago, we were told by our parents and teachers to PRAY FOR THE CONVERSION OF RUSSIA...

Dear Poch

NEW YORK, 25 January 2014 Dear Poch: Seriously, I think it would be worth your while to consider compiling all that you have written on Religion, Christianity, the Vatican, etc., etc. in Cyberspace systematically into a BOOK, divided into, say, at least 30 chapters. Knowing that you are still vigorous now that you are at 70, you can do it, and do a good job of it. Then get a reputable publisher to publish it. With an initial printing of, say, 20,000 copies, to be distributed to all public libraries all over the country, to all of the country's Barangays, to other institutions or parties that may profit from a revelation of the TRUTH. Once you sense a demand for the book exists, then order a second printing of X copies, enough to meet the increased demand for it. I know that you have the financial means to consider this proposed Project seriously. This will be the legacy of POCHOLO SUZARA. And many people will remember you for such a Book. Enlightened people all over the world remember BERTRAND RUSSEL for his enlightened views on Religion, Christianity, and Life. My sense is that you, too, will be remembered for generations of Filipinos for showing them the way to the TRUTH. MarPatalinjug Dear Mar, many thanks for writing and for your suggestion. In fact, in my thoughtstoprovokeyourthoughts Blogspot, I already published more than 4,000 aphorisms on religion, education, corruption, Christianity, stupidity, and social and political insanity, not to mention the lies and deceptions considered as our sacred beliefs as a people and holy values as a nation. I also have ready for publication two manuscripts - THE FAILURE OF EDUCATION UNDER THE SUCCESS OF CHRISTIANITY IN THE PHILIPPINES, and my favorite which I ardently hope will be published before I leave this world - THE BIRTH AND DEATH OF AN ATHEIST IN THE PHILIPPINES. Anyway Mar, I have every hope that others in the future will carry on what I can no longer do - trying to bring enlightenment to the Filipino minds and hearts in our country in great need of salvation via civilization, and not via traditional silly biblical revelation. With all best wishes always, Poch Suzara

Our stupidity is immortal, nothing will change it. The same mistakes, the same prejudices, the same injustice, the same lusts wheel endlessly around the parade ground of the centuries.

The religious horror has been going on since your Apostles conquered and transformed the Philippines into the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century... Nakakahiya ka Lord! ... You are suppose to be the Savior of the Filipinos and the Savior of the Philippines... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Winter Solstice

WINTER SOLSTICE GREETINGS IN REALITY . . . CHRISTMAS GREETINGS IN FANTASY The earth has spent more time orbiting the sun than all the religions, all superstitions, all of humanity, and even of all life itself. The Winter Solstice represents an actual astronomical event unlike superstition driven celebrations that occur only in religious imagination. The exact day of the winter solstice marks the end of autumn, just one point along the orbital path of earth. The energy of the sun and the fertile earth, along with the over 4.5 billion winter solstices that have occurred, allowed enough time for all of earth's evolution to happen (and to continue to happen). This puts the Winter Solstice in a far more humbling position than anything invented by humans. Considering that the earth also comes closest* to the sun during the winter, what better time to honor the sun than during the Winter Solstice. The festivals of the Winter Solstice celebrate the start of the new solar year and the beginning of winter. The fantasies of superstition have also used this astronomical event to celebrate Saturnalia, Yule, Christmas, and many other superstitious events. The unknown builders of Stonehenge in southern England constructed the megaliths at around 2000 B.C.E. which makes it at least twice as old as Christianity. It accurately predicts both the summer and winter solstices. In astronomy, a solstice occurs two times a year. During the Winter Solstice the sun appears at its greatest distance from the celestial equator, the great circle on the celestial sphere that occurs on the same plane as the earth's equator. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice occurs either December 21 or 22, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, and its noontime elevation appears the same for several days before and after the solstice. The summer solstice occurs either June 21 or 22, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Cancer. In the southern hemisphere, the winter and summer solstices appear reversed. It may seem contradictory that the earth comes closest to the sun during the winter and the farthest during the summer, but the seasons occur mostly because of the tilt away or toward the sun, rather than the distance from the sun. As atheists we do not celebrate the birth of Christ called Christmas. Instead, we celebrate the Winter Solstice. We do not care to celebrate man's capacity to believe; rather, we celebrate, all year round - man's great ability to think! After all, there is nothing quite like it in all of nature! . . .

Where is God in the Here and Now

We were told by our teachers in grade school that we must believe in the existence of God, our creator, and because God is existing here, existing there, and existing everywhere... Ever since then I had my doubts as I began to question God's existence... And so, even as a little boy in school I was already somewhat atheistic; though I was not that articulate enough to express my real religious sentiments. I thought then as I still do think today in my old age, I'd be happy to believe in the existence of God if only He could exist not there, exist not everywhere, just exist only here and now where we could all be with Him as a God to each and every one of us with all of His power and glory as a Supreme Being...

Useless Believers versus Useful Thinkers

Believing is the death of thinking. . . We all live in such a poor and backward country because Catholic schools, Catholic colleges, and Catholic universities are mostly about teaching the nation's children how to become useless believers; but not learning how to become useful thinkers. . . Thus, in this only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century, we Filipinos are only getting more famous as the employees, not employers; the consumers, not producers; the followers, not leaders, - indeed, we Filipinos are getting more famous throughout the world as the frightened Man, not the enlightened Man of Asia.

Einstein, Russell, Mandela, Jose Rizal

Albert Einstein in Defense of Bertrand Russell: Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly. . . Albert Einstein Bertrand Russell in defense of men like Nelson Mandela: "No, the greatest men have not been “serene. They have had, it is true, an ultimate courage, a power of creating beauty where nature has put only horror, which may, to a petty mind, appear like serenity... But their courage has had to surpass that of common men, because they have seen deeper into the indifference of nature and the cruelty of man... To cover up these things with comfortable lies is the business of cowards; the business of great men is to see them with inflexible clarity, and yet to think and feel nobly... And in the degree in which we can all be great, this is the business of each one of us."... Bertrand Russell Nelson Mandela in Defense of great men like our Jose Rizal: "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."... Nelson Mandela Jose Rizal in defense of his people, the Filipino people still in search of freedom; especially, the freedom of thought: "I would like the Filipino people to become worthy, noble, and honorable. . . make study a thing of love and joy . . . the schoolroom should not be a place of sorrows but a scene of intellectual refreshment." As with me, an atheist, here's my message to all of you religious saps: Atheism is a worldwide movement today without frightened followers. We atheists are all enlightened leaders who are out to produce more leaders. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Supernatural Jerk or Divine Sap

What if, after death, in heaven, it will be the same old story as its has been temporarily on earth - except that this time, for all eternity, you will still be worshipping the same divine Sap, the same supernatural Jerk? For my part, as an atheist, I would rather be in hell with the devil worshipping nothing. I love and have every respect for the devil. Not once have I ever been told that I must worship the devil because the devil loves me! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Faith

Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated. . . . Christopher Hitchens . . . Indeed, a man of faith is like Angel on these pages - a college-educated drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination . . . Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell on the Lives of Great Men

Here's Bertrand Russell writing about lives of great men, like our own Jose Rizal of the Philippines - - - "No, the greatest men have not been “serene.” They have had, it is true, an ultimate courage, a power of creating beauty where nature has put only horror, which may, to a petty mind, appear like serenity. But their courage has had to surpass that of common men, because they have seen deeper into the indifference of nature and the cruelty of man. To cover up these things with comfortable lies is the business of cowards; the business of great men is to see them with inflexible clarity, and yet to think and feel nobly. And in the degree in which we can all be great, this is the business of each one of us." Poch Suzara

Free Will is a Farce, a Fraud, and a Ceremony

The God in the bible is the one with "free" will, not the creation. As the verses so clearly state, HIS plan, HIS pleasure, HIS purpose, HIS will. . . It follows that prayer is utterly a useless waste of time because when when pray, we are asking God to dump His free will in favor of our own free will. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
