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

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

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!

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

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!

The Flexibility of the Man's Mind

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.

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.

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.

Especially to help them as president to straighten out the social, political, economical, religious, and governmental mess throughout the country. Especially since the Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Soon, next year, we will have a new Catholic president. Again, it is highly expected, that he or she will continue to faithfully pray to God to help fix once and for all the social, political, economical, religious, and governmental mess out of our poor and sick and corrupt and backward country. For my part, as an atheist, I hope, this time, finally, God will listen to the old prayers of the new President of the Republic of the Philippines.- Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Without God Life Has No Meaning - NO KIDDING

I am often told that Without God, life has no meaning. Of course, without God, life has no meaning. After all, who is going to forgive our meaningful sins and forgive our meaningful crimes if not God or His Son Jesus? Look at the sinners and criminals as the sick and corrupt officials in our sick and corrupt government. They are always bragging that they are "MAKA-dios, and that they are also all MAKA-Jesus in this only Catholic country in Asia. I say, there is no reason to believe that life needs to be eternal in order to be meaningful. Indeed, there is evidence that quite the opposite in the case: for example, a film, a performance, a novel or a sporting event without end would completely lose any meaning. In the same way, we can question what would be the point of doing anything at all if we had an eternity to live, with nothing to bring it into focus and give it some urgency and poignancy. My mentor Bertrand Russell summarized it more meaningfully: “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." . . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

True Ignorance

"True ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the refusal to acquire it. Carl Popper . . . Indeed, we are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by a stupid system of education via schools, colleges, and universities. They are places where we are taught to believe that after we acquire a "college diploma" there will be no more need to learn any more! - Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

WOW GOD, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU A GOOD GOD FOR

"God will either spare you from suffering or give you grace to bear it." ... Philippine Star, June 19, 2015... Wow God, aside from such good promises, what else are you a good God for? I mean, isn't it time for you as a God to be good for something, and not to be anymore only and always good for nothing?... Poch Suzara, Twitter# Facebook# Google#

GOD'S WORD or GOD'S ACTION

"God's Word needs no additions or subtractions." --- Philippine Star, June 18, 2015. . . Wow God, as you are already a God, are you still stuck with your faith in blind faith unable to see that ACTIONS are more precious, more creative, and more efficient than WORDS in remaking this world, our world, to be a better place for all of mankind? --- Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

So There Is A God, So What?

So there is a God! So what? Why is such a God only always OMNI-ABSENT, never OMNI-PRESENT? I'd like to meet God face to face in the here and now. I'd like to tell God to his face that he has been a LOUSY God; specially to us millions of filthy poor and sick Filipinos and the few filthy-rich Filipinos who are among the biggest saps and jerks in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century!

Success in Life

We are all born ignorant, not sick or corrupt. We are made sick and corrupt via a sick and corrupt system of education in the Philippines. If we wish to know why we, as a people, are filthy, messy, and sick even as a nation - take a closer look at our sick and corrupt system of education; especially as operated by the power of authority of Catholicism in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

 In the meantime, millions of college educated Filipinos believe they are poor because they have no money. On the contrary, the worse kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind. Among those who are truly rich are those who are rich in spirit as they only wish via to learn more as learning via the search of the truth is a lifetime adventure.

Here, however, is what Bertrand Russell wrote on the pursuit of more money: “Love of money
has been denounced by moralists since the world began. I do not wish to add another to the moral denunciations, of which the efficacy in the past has not been encouraging. I wish show how the worship of money is both an effect and a cause of diminishing vitality, and how our institutions might be changed so as to make the worship of money grow less and general vitality grow more. It is not the desire for money as a means to definite ends that is in question. A struggling artist may desire money in order to have leisure for his art, but this desire is finite, and can be satisfied by a very modest sum. It is the worship of money that I wish to consider: the belief that values may be measured in terms of money, and that money is the ultimate test of success in life. This belief is held in fact, if not in words, by multitudes of men and women, and yet it is not in harmony with human nature, since it ignores vital needs and the instinctive tendency towards some specific kind of growth. It makes men treat as unimportant those of their desires which run counter to the acquisition of money, and yet such desires are, as a rule, more important to well-being than any increase of income. It leads men to mutilate their own natures from a mistaken theory of what constitutes success, and to give admiration to enterprise which add nothing to human welfare. It promotes a dead uniformity of character and purpose, a diminution in the joy of life, and a stress and strain which leaves whole communities weary, discouraged, and disillusioned.” --- Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Separation of Church and State in the Philippines

For as long as you have government officials who are the products of education in Catholic grade school, Catholic high school, and in Catholic universities, the Separation of State and Church in the Republic of the Philippines can only be a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony! Well, as the only Catholic country in Asia, since our government officials are devout and faithful Catholics it will be a sin for them not to loyal first to God, and then, if at all, as a miracle, to love our country. In the meantime, even our sick and insane officials in our government believe there is a better world to come but only we are all dead! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Morality versus Human Intelligence

Morality is the product of the evolutionary development of man and society. Morality is always relative and never absolute. Within the framework of our society, we chose our own, personal code of moral conduct. In the meantime, morality is for mentally retarded children who have been educated to fear intellectual growth. Human intelligence, however, is for men and women educated enough to acquire more knowledge and wisdom in order to put more beauty into this world where the sick sense of religious morality have put only horrors.
