The Love of Thought

                                       

There is nothing more contemptible, more despicable, more unstable    in this world than the fear of thought. There is, however, nothing more precious, more delicious, and more nutritious than the love of thought. There is nothing quite like it all of nature. - - -  Poch Suzara

FOR WITH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. Luke 1:37 - NO KIDDING?

For with God, nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37

No Kidding? What a lot of farce, fraud, and ceremony. Indeed, a lot of spiritual delusions based on lies and deceptions.

If nothing shall be impossible with God, how come it has been possible with God to cure blindness only in one person; to cure leprosy only in    one person; to make the lame walk again only in one person.

Indeed, how come  it has always been impossible with God to make diseases no longer contagious? Miraculously make only health contagious? - - - Poch Suzara

                                                                                       

Life After Death Corruption Deal as a Religious Arrangement

YES TO THIS, AS POCH SAID:    I said it before, I say it again: stop teaching Filipino children in school to believe that there is a God existing up out there always ready and available to forgive all of our sins and crimes at any time. Or, that such a God will always open the gates of heaven to those who open their hearts to Him. This is the kind of a sick education that promotes nothing but sick corruption for our sick society to remain sick forever and ever. Even our sick and corrupt government officials are so happy and proud of the sick and insane religious arrangement! helen 

Questions are Far More Precious than the Answers

Once you have learned to ask questions - relevant and appropriate and substantial questions - you have learned how to learn and no one can keep you from learning whatever you want or need to learn. - - - Neil Postman

Indeed, questions are far more precious than the answers because the answers, in reality, become obsolete. Consider the nature of reality: each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it. After I got myself expelled out          of La Salle high school, I carried on with what in fact got me expelled: I carried on habitually           in life questioning not only about this or that something; but questioning everything. - - - Poch   Suzara

For This Christmas I will celebrate not the Birth of a Jewish Son of God, but Man's Capacity to Think

We are told that we are saved not by what we do but by trusting what Christ has done. To think that this is the same Christ who was born of   a Jewish family in a Jewish town under Jewish history, culture, and tradition some 2,000 years ago. Israel today is not even a Christian country. It is a Jewish State populated by Jews, ruled by Jews, and inspired by Judaism – a major religion that does not celebrate Christmas – the Birth    of Christ.  In this already 21st century, if Christ cares not to save his native fellow-Jews in Israel, why should Christ bother to save the Filipinos or even save the Philippines? 

In the meantime, I say it again: the pleasures in growth and positive achievement, the love of life, happy, expansive, generous, and creative; glad when others happy, and not glad when others are not happy - are the precious things on my mind while I celebrate Christmas this year. Indeed, for this Christmas, I should wish to celebrate the birth of the Filipino capacity to think, especially to think  in terms of growth as a healthy people, and in terms of development as a wealthy nation.

I have no wish to celebrate the birth anniversary of Christ, but only to celebrate instead the birth of the the power of thought to love the truth, beauty, knowledge, and the joys of this life in this world in the here and now. These will do for Christmas this year; however, for Christmas next year, I may wish to celebrate Christmas with higher or more meaningful reasons; specially with nothing to do with the birth of a Jewish Son of a Jewish God.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU.

Life After Death is a Sick Joke

 

If there were life after death in heaven,

how come our dead loved-ones never

visit us the living on earth? It is we, the 

living, who visits our dead loved-ones

in the cemeteries. 

Obviously, life after death is a sick joke 

since the dead cannot even laugh at the

living visiting the faithfools in the cemetery.

A LIST OF MY GREAT FRIENDS

When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.                                                       

                                                                     Japanese Proverb 

                                                                     

Oh Yes, may I say if I continue to be an unclear character on 

these pages, please look at the friends that I  gradually developed 

down through the years after I got expelled out of La Salle high 

school at the age of 13: Bertrand Russell, Will Durant, Robert G. Ingersoll, Carl Sagan, George H. Smith, Jean Meslier, Jose Rizal, 
Richard Dawkins,  Mark Twain,  Voltaire, George Bernard Shaw, 
Thomas Paine, Madlyn Murray O'Hair, H.L. Mencken, Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, Joseph McCabe, Karl Marx, Ellen Johnson, Carl Jung,

 friedrich Nietzche, Albert Camus, Thomas Jefferson, Ernest Hemmingway, Stephen Hawking, Clarence Darrow, Charlie Chaplin, Noam Chomsky, George Carlin, Isaac Asimov, Walt Whitman, Lee Carter, John Shelby Spong, Socrates, Hypatia, and more, many 

many many more. The great men and great women in world history

who have had the intellectual courage to put more beauty into this world where frightened little men and frightened little women have 

put only horrors of childish beliefs and silly values such as the pursuit not of veracity, but only of money if not more mendacity! 

If there were life after death, these are the great men and great women I'd like to meet first and foremost to thank them for having written books for me to read and to study.  - - - Poch Suzara
