I Do Not Agree

I do not agree that the truths of religion are beyond the power of reason. If they were, then religion was not made for human beings.I agree, however, that religious lies are for people devoid of thought. Indeed, religious people are incapable of critical analysis due to mental paralysis. Poch Suzara

Not Good Enough

I am told that no one is good enough to save himself, and no one is bad enough that God cannot save him. For my part, I ask: I am to be saved from what? Poch Suzara

Christianity

Pagan culture in Greece gave birth to such concepts as democracy, rational philosophy, public libraries, theatres, and the Olympic games creating a blueprint for the modern world of science and technology. I ask: What about Christianity? During these past 2,000 years of existence, especially for the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia, aside from the Filipino being the Sick man of Asia, what else has Christian values and beliefs given birth to? Poch Suzara

Paganism

Most people associate Paganism with the myths of the gods of the Olympus. But if Paganism were so primitive and Christianity the one and only true religion, why was paganism or Pagan civilization replaced by a thousand years historians refer to as the Dark Ages? Poch Suzara

The Power of Reason

The power of reason is always more revealing, more lively, more inspiring, more enlightening, more penetrating, and in fact, sometimes, even more blinding.On the other hand, sadly, blind faith is the premature death and burial of human intelligence. Poch Suzara

I do not believe in Supernatural Morons

I do not believe in the existence of God or in the existence of the devil. I do not see any value whatsoever in believing in the existence of supernatural morons. Indeed, the mere fact that God and the devil, since time immemorial, have been fighting over to win the silly souls of men, makes them both moronic supernaturally. Poch Suzara

Questions Are Far More Precious

Questions are far more precious than answers because in time the answers become obsolete. Sadly, most people have all the answers, but no longer ask interesting questions. Wondering no more why there seems more stupidity generating our sick society as inspired by a sick Deity. Poch Suzara

Real Education

A real education has nothing to do with earning a college diploma. It has more to do with learning how to keep away from the evils of dogma, hogma, and pigma; especially as it keeps forever retarded the medulla oblongata. Poch Suzara

Fates Far more Deplorable

There are fates far more deplorable than death. For example, wasting away this precious life by preparing to be saved in the next life as if there is any. In the meantime, we all want to go to heaven, but why is it that nobody wants to die? Poch Suzara

America

America is not only the home of the brave and the land of the free. It is also a place where weapons of mass destruction are produced to drive other nations to buy such weapons in order to defend themselves against the American foreign policy. The US government apparently loves to substantiate the paradoxical theory that nations can keep themselves alive only by preparing to kill each other. Poch Suzara

The Philippines

The Philippines is one of the most progressive countries in Asia.It has ceased multiplying and substracting Filipinos locally for the sake of replenishing Filipino workers globally. Poch Suzara

A Stroke or a Heart Attack

A stroke or a heart attack is less damaging compared to the brain damaged caused by religious indoctrination during childhood. Religious faith cripples the mind and damages the heart for the rest of one's life. Poch Suzara

Theology

To explain the unknown in terms of the known is a logical necessity. But to explain the unknown in terms of the unknowable is a theological insanity. Indeed, theology may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, or whether what it is claiming makes sense to any one at all. Poch Suzara

Science

The right to believe and to have faith are taught first in schools. Hardly, however, the right also to think and the right to question everything - the very foundation of science and the scientific way of thinking. Poch Suzara

Love and Sex

A man gives love in order to get sex. A woman gives sex in order to get love. It's a game men and women play together in order to multiply and replenish the earth with unwanted children who grow up to play the same old silly game over and over again. Poch Suzara

The Orginal Mess

If I were Defense Attorney handling the case against Adam and eve in the Garden of Eden, I would have had both acquitted and found instead God in cahoots with the devil guilty not only of the Original sin, but even more guilty of the whole Original Mess. Poch Suzara

Filipino Politicians

When God created the Filipino politician, He set a limit to his intelligence; however, to add insult to injury, God allowed the devil to put no limit to stupidity of the Filipino politician Poch Suzara
There are only two kinds of world: the world of illusion and the world of facts. Every form of human happiness belong to the world of illusion. In line with self-respect, what is essential is to find beauty and harmony in the world of facts. poch Suzara
What makes a belief true is its harmony with reality. What makes a belief false is its harmony with human stupidity. Poch suzara
A man of faith is one who, if he does not have a hangover, he is working on one. The worse part, however, is the way he clings to a lamppost for support; not illumination. Poch Suzara
Christians against Christians. Jews against Jews. Muslims against Muslims. Christians, Jews, and Muslims against each other. And to think that God made the Christians, the Jews, and the Muslims in his own image and likeness. Poch Suzara

The Virtues of Pries

The virtues of the priesthood industry are far more harmful than its vices. For one thing, its vices produce piety; while its virtues produce sacred mendacity to promote religious hypocrisy. Poch Suzara
Has faith ever moved a mountain? I have already reached the October of my life - my end is near - but I have yet to see a mountain moved by an inch with the power of faith. Poch Suzara

Filipino Intelligence

Thanks to our Christian values and beliefs as the basis of Filipino culture, we celebrate not the rise of human intelligence to benefit our country; on the contrary, we celebrate instead human negligence to maintain our sick society. Poch Suzara
Ninoy Aquino may have lived for freedom and democracy; but he died for theocracy. He never said the Filipino is worth living for; on the contrary, he said: "The filipino is worth dying for." The Filipino agreed. With faith in God, Filipinos killed him. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell Books

I am most proud and happy to have been expelled out of La Salle high school. The development gave me the rare opportunity to enroll in the greatest of all universities - which is but a collection of books; especially the books written by Bertrand Russell. Indeed, if I did not discover the works of Bertrand Russell, never would I have ever recaptured the greatest treasure stolen away from me in school: My most precious mind. Thank you Bertrand Russell. Wherever you are: I have the deepest love for you, the highest respect for you, the greatest of admiration for your work in the world of human intelligence. Poch Suzara

All Great Religions

The great religions of the world have been based on one evil only: The love of God up there by hating each other down here. Poch Suzara
God expected to flood and to drown all living things as punishment of sin during Noah's days. God failed miserably in his plan. He could not drown the things living in the ocean. Poch Suzara
As a matter of fact, the Philippines is a very rich country. Even if it owes the World Bank some $57 billion dollars, it can still afford to remit, as the only Catholic country in Asia, millions of dollars a year to the Vatican. Poch Suzara

Jaime Cardinal sin

Jaime Cardinal Sin, a shepherd, is now without a flock. He recently retired as the archbishop of Manila. This is great news because only sheep need a shepherd. Poch Suzara
I have more fear of schools than I have fear of bullets. For the most part, schools are places where they destroy human minds and human hearts to have faith in stupid beliefs. Millions of people have been killed in war with bullets because they utterly refused to have faith in the stupid belief of others. Poch Suzara
Poverty is a negative condition. It is like darkness which is the absence of light. Poverty can never be eradicated or abolished; it can only be remedied with the creation of wealth. Poch Suzara
Happiness is always doing something; not nothing. Now how can we be happy in heaven doing nothing except occupy empty space while looking forever at God's non-existing face? Poch Suzara

Problems and Prayers

I have neither the taste nor the gumption to run for government office in the Philippines. I have not the ability nor the capacity to solve social and political and economic problems with the power of prayer. Poch Suzara
There's more, much more in what is real because there are no clear-cut boundaries in what reality comprises. Poch suzara

Medical Science Versus Prayer

Medical science and its ability to keep alive those who would already be otherwise dead is just one of the miracles that the power of prayer has to equal. Poch suzara
It's sad to see friends and relatives looking for nothing but money and success in life. Only to maintain their being selfish, greedy, stupid and insane. Then they ask God for the forgiveness of their sin and crime. For my part, I would rather be looking for answers to my questions by formulating for myself better kinds of questions. Poch Suzara

Comic, not Logic

College graduates in this only Christian country in Asia hate to read as they are virtually illiterate. What's even more scandalous is that, for the most part, they would rather be inspired not by the power of logic, but only by the power of magic
or anything comic, if not tragic, not to mention anything bucolic as it means the same as being a Catholic. Poch Suzara

Scientific Illiteracy

In order for the priesthood industry to carry on perpetually its mission to promote piety, hypocrisy, and silly divinity, the theologians, on a national level, rely heavily on the people's scientific illiteracy. Poch suzara

God as All-Knowing

Just because we have no evidence that God exists does not mean we have evidence that God does not exist. For my part, even if there is evidence of the existence of God out there, it does not matter a bit because God's existence is totally irrelevant to human affairs down here. In the meantime, prove to me that God exists and I will then prove to you that such a God is not that ALL-KNOWING; for, God knows not, as yet, what to do with the stupid devil existing right alongside Him always doing evil in cahoots together. So, God is everywhere. So what? What does that matter for as long as Jesus had shed blood for both his fiends and for his enemies! Poch Suzara

Large print giveth, but small print taketh away. "GOD MADE MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS." "Dust thou art and to dust thou shalt return." Poch Suzara

Christian Faith in the Mafia

Christian faith is to free inquiry what the Mafia is to free enterprise. For challenging Church authority the Inquisition was established in the 5th century. It lasted up to the 15th century. It exiled Copernicus, silenced Galileo, burned Bruno at the stake. Christian faith stood in the way of advancement of knowledge and the emancipation of the human mind under free thought and humanitarian ideals. For a thousand years every man, woman, and child all believed in the existence of God. Historians refer to it as the DARK AGES. Poch Suzara
What will happen to life's meaning if it turns out that God does not exist? A more profound question to ask: If religion were necessary to all men, how come religion makes men cut each other's throat because they cannot agree as to what will happen to them after their throats have been cut in God's name? Poch Suzara

Live for God in Heaven

The assertion that we must only live for God in heaven is contrary to human dignity. I entirely agree with Santayana's: 'WHAT A DESPICABLE CREATURE MUST A MAN BE, AND HOW SUNK BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE MOST BARBARIC VIRTUE, IF HE CANNOT BEAR TO LIVE FOR HIS CHILDREN, FOR HIS ART, OR FOR HIS COUNTRY." Poch Suzara
A universal belief lasting for two thousand years proves nothing. For two thousand years Catholics believed in Catholicism. For two hundred thousand years people believed the world as flat, or that the sun moved round the earth. Poch Suzara

The Sun as God

If we must have a religion, let's love, worship, and adore what the pagans looked up to for tens of thousands of years - the Sun - it is still today and for centuries to come the source of all life on this world. Poch suzara

Stupid Believing

Somethings are impossible. For example, it is utterly impossible for children to learn the lively art of critical thinking and evidential reasoning if they were first taught to have faith in the deadly art of stupid believing. Poch Suzara
We are ready to die physically as soon as we are ready to live spiritually. Meanwhile, those who are afraid to die are afraid to live. What a life! What a world! And if there were a God involved in all this nonsense, it's silly to love and respect such a God. Poch Suzara

Result of Prayer

I was once a devout Catholic. I often prayed to God to convert my Muslim best friend into becoming a Catholic. My Muslim friend heard me and he too began to pray to allah to convert me into becoming a Muslim. I am most happy and proud of the results of both our prayers: He and I have mutually ended up to become devout atheists. Poch Suzara
Progress is taking one step forward; not, however, when you are standing at the edge of a cliff. Poch suzara

Silly Souls existing nowhere

Science is organized knowledge derived from observation. Theology is the study of nothing as there is nothing to observe or study or experiment in theology. No one has seen silly souls in heaven or silly souls in hell or silly souls existing anywhere on this earth. Poch Suzara

Task of Theology

The task of theology is to twist, distort, stunt, and damage the human brain. When the mission is accomplished by the theologians, the faithfool believers believe everything and has no mental capacity, naturally, to examine anything. Poch Suzara

the Truth of a Great Mind

Here's a truth that no one can deny: Only a great mind can recognize and acknowledge the brilliance of another great mind.

In the meantime, a small mind can only talk about people. An average mind can only talk about events. A great mind would rather talk, at any time, about ideas. Poch Suzara

According to St. Augustine

According to St. Augustine: "Faith is the point of departure of knowledge." Now isn't that the same with human stupidity? Can faith and reason be mutually re-inforcing? Hardly. How can we have faith in the knowledge that man has one less rib in him because reason tells us that God created Eve by taking ONE rib off Adam's body? Poch Suzara
After I am dead and it turned out that there is a God, I will immediately ask for his forgiveness for having wasted for some 18 precious years of my life as a devout Catholic. Poch Suzara

Scientific Inquiry

What Filipinos need is not faith but an attitude of scientific inquiry combined with the belief that poverty in the Philippines is undesirable weather inspired by stupid politicians in cahoots with the theologians, or inspired by stupid theologians in cahoots with the politicians. Poch suzara
Men differ from animals only by a little. But thanks to the sacrament of forgiveness of sin and crime from God, most men throw that little away. Poch Suzara

A Jewish God for Filipinos

If we could learn to reason logically on religious issues, it is clear that we all ought to become Jews because Jesus, our Savior, was born a Jew, lived a Jew, preached in a Jewish community, and died a Jew. Jesus even admitted that he was fulfilling the Jewish religion. But then again, how come the place where Jesus was born is not even a Christian country? It is today a Jewish State. Poch Suzara

Birth as the Beginning of Death

What is born, dies; in fact, anything that is born eventually dies. It is a law of nature. It is what the law of evolution is all about: Every birth is the beginning
of death. And death is the beginning of what was once existing - a nothing. Poch Suzara

The Burning Bush in the White House

According to the bible, God is a "Burning Bush." I travelled to many countries in search of God in the form of a burning bush. The closes I got was the Bush who lives in the American White House inspired by christian values and beliefs to reduce the Muslim world into a burning bush. Poch Suzara
Former Used Car Salesman, Mike Velarde of El Shaddai is now a billionaire. He has been quite a tremendous success selling what the dumbstruck multitude has been buying: Jesus. It is all at a very price: the mindless surrender of the self via the mutilation of the intellect. Poch Suzara

Design and Purpose

Design implies a designer; but more than that, design implies purpose. Now it's hard enough to prove that the universe was designed by a designer. What's even harder to prove is that the existence of the universe has a purpose. Poch Suzara

Religion and Endless Emnity

To Filipinos with a higher I.Q. than is usual - religion, at best, is a joke; at worst, however, religion is a source of bigotry, insanity, stupidity, poverty, war, and merry-go-round mediocrity daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. Poch Suzara
Modern science has left theology in poor state. The universe revealed by science shows the human race an infinitesimal speck in space and time existing on an insignificant planet revolving a humdrum star. Why should a God exert his influence in such a vast universe and for what purpose? Poch Suzara

Evil Versus Evil

Of all the evils that God, in his inscrutable wisdom, has inflicted upon mankind, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are by far the worst. Big business, however, like The US government, welcomes the existence of such evil; especially for the sake of making big bucks or for the US economy to grow and expand. It gives the US military power all the opportunity to inspire such evils to go to war against each other. Indeed, a little reflection on the history of our world - shows simply that history has never been about GOOD against EVIL, but always about EVIL versus EVIL. They are still on going throughout the world today and EVIL still winning. Look how in our world today - the human race is still being disgraced by divine grace! If, in the concatenation of events, there has been some good in the history of war, such good eventually became evil too. Look at America and its good allies; after having won the world war 2 against Hitler's Nazism, America keep on creating war here,there, and everywhere as war is big business for the US Military, Industrial, and University Complex. Poch Suzara

The Answer to Prayer

God's answer to all our prayers: Pray more each day!

Christianity and it series of Horrors

Trinity, virginity, divinity, papacy, ministry, infallibility, purgatory, immortality, deviltry, etc all are parts of daily reality that promote human stupidity in the Philippines in order to generate social insanity that insures the existence of Christianity perpetually.

No Filipino has ever become rich for believing that God is bad. And yet, millions of Filipinos are poor for believing that God is good. Poch Suzara

Death - Ways of Evolution

Each and every unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and, at the same time, the embryo of a new reality that will replace it. Thus, the endless death of old reality giving birth to a new reality containing the same seeds of its own destruction. The secret of evolution is in the billions - birth, growth, death, and decay. As to where the reality of evolution is going; in fact, is it really going anywhere - who knows? Poch Suzara
God made man in his own image and likeness. Unfortunately, God has yet to make peace with his own selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane reflection. Poch Suzara

Mass Destruction versus Mass Deception

The Catholic Church sells weapons of mass deception. The US government sells weapons of mass destruction. What is the difference? Both the US government and the Catholic Church are the two richest organization in the world. Poch Suzara
The power of theology does not come from divinity; it comes from fear and ignorance, if not from intellectual vacuity otherwise popularly known as human stupidity. Poch suzara

Blind Faith

What is so spiritual about the blind leading blind not only in blind faith, but also for the glory of a blind God in heaven? Poch Suzara
God is a mystery - a mystery so incomprehensible that nothing is known of God except that he is a mystery. If that were the case, how would we know, to begin with, that such a God even exist? Poch Suzara
Jesus is mentioned 93 times in15 different chapters of the Quran. Jesus is called a prophet, a messenger, a servant of God, a word from God, the messiah, and one inspired or aided by the spirit of God. According to the Muslims, happily, the Quran was also written by inspired authors of Allah. Poch Suzara

On Our Knees

Politics is the cancer of nationalism in the Philippines. Worse than politics, however, has been and still is religion. The Catholic church has kept the Filipino
on his knees maintaining his worldwide popularity as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara
As the island of our piety grows, so does the shore of our hypocrisy. In most advanced countries, its resources are for its people. In the Philippines, the people are the resources for other foreign countries still advancing. Poch Suzara

Divine Grace against the Human race

No, not science, but religion continues to promote poverty, misery, hatred, violence, diseases, and especially questions that remain unanswered such as where's is divine grace to upgrade, not degrade, - the human race? Indeed, more to point: Why does divine grace continue to hide needlessly away from the troubles and problems of the human race? Poch Suzara

In the End Nothing

At the heart of reality lies not the answer, but a question: why is there something rather than nothing? But at the heart of every something is the seed of its own destruction which, inevitably, ends as a nothing of a new reality of which science has yet to discover what that nothing is all about. Poch Suzara

human intelligence

It is a great joy to meet people who are not dumbstruck, but awestruck with the rarity known as human intelligence. Poch Suzara
Whatever God said to those inspired bible authors was said to them and not said directly to me. It is therefore not my obligation to believe what those authors said that God said to them. Even if it is known as Revelation. Poch Suzara

Lies and Fantasy

When a nation's values and beliefs are based on lies and fantasy, how can such a nation grow with the truth and how can it mature with reality? Such is the situation in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia. Poch suzara

Two Kinds of Filipinos

There are only two kinds of Filipinos: the unbelievers - minority with intelligence without religion; and, the believers - the majority with religion but devoid of intelligence. For my part, I am most proud to be totally irreligious. In fact, I am an atheist; a freethinker. I am always proud to question why there is so much religious stupidity, political hypocrisy, social insanity, and historical perversity with us Filipinos in the Philippines - the only christian country in Asia since the 16th century. In the meantime, just because the majority rules, does not mean the majority is right. It is only means that the majority is gullible. The majority believes that the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening. This is not reality at all says the intelligent minority. It is false as it is nothing but a grand illusion. . . Poch Suzara
The believer argues with another believer not on what they both believe, but on what they do not understand. In the meantime, the mystery they love, worship, and adore is another word for divinity. Poch Suzara

Praying, not Reading

We Filipinos are not, by any standard, a nation of readers. We are, in fact, a nation of prayers. For my part, as a high school expelled student, I pride myself not only as one who is an avid reader, but also a book and letter writer. Poch suzara
What faith is to mental paralysis, reason is to critical analysis. Meanwhile, theology is not what we know about the supernatural, but what we do not know about the natural. Indeed, theology is not about what is everywhere down here, but what is nowhere out there. Poch Suzara

No Beginning, No End

I am told that God has no beginning and no end. Well, let's assume for the sake of an argument that God has been existing die for more than 800,000,000,000 (BILLION) YEARS. Now if I live to be 80 YEARS, which is but a split of a millisecond long comparatively, I should be most proud to find out after death that, somehow, I managed to offend God Almighty with my sins while existing on this piece of dust called "earth.". In fact, if and when I meet with God after death, I will ask God if he is a Catholic? If He says yes, then I will tell him to his face, (if he has a face) that he has been and still is a LOUSY GOD to us Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara
Imagine God as invisible, a spirit, and moving in mysterious ways. Could there be anything else more imaginably ridiculous? Poch Suzara

Onan's Free Will

In Genesis 38, Onan was struck dead by God when he spilled his seed instead of impregnating his widowed sister-in-law as he had been commanded to do. His offense lay not in committing coitus interruptus, but refusing to do what tradition said he owed to his dead brother's memory. In any case, I ask: how free was Onan's free will as a gift from God? Poch Suzara
The church will never solve social problems such as poverty, squalor. and human misery. In fact, in order to guarantee its continued existence, as the church has been in existence for the past two thousand years, it's main business has always been to exacerbate and to perpetuate social problems. Poch Suzara
Faith is embracing the answer that seems to satisfy what we do not know. Meanwhile, faith in divinity is not a sign of humility, but a sign of immaturity at best, or at worst, stupidity. Poch Suzara

Silly Commandments of God

Fear of punishment in hell or the hope of reward in heaven is a pathetic way of living one's life with self-respect and dignity.. To begin with, the commandments of God have absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the development of human intelligence or the cultivation of human benevolence - for one another! Indeed, the commandments of God serves not man but only God. Is God really that emotionally twisted in that he needs commandments for lesser and frightened beings to follow? Poch Suzara
Postmodernism is the ancient way of discarding modernism. It is a way of admitting
individually what one cannot accept as human improvements socially. Poch Suzara
A religion that seeks immunity from examination of its values, beliefs, and indeed practices is a religion that is obviously based on holy mendacity, if not sacred hypocrisy. Poch Suzara

Silly Logic

A remedy for a fallacious argument is not the evasion of the issue or dodging of the question, but simply, a more logical argument. Otherwise, why believe in something that no one knows nothing about? Poch Suzara

Death as a Nothing

Death is resting in everlasting peace.There is no more worry, troubles, work, planning, knowledge, wisdom in the world of the dead. Death is the world of nothing; yet, the frightened faithfools fear death as the beginning of something.

For my part, after I am dead, and I find there is life after death, I say NO WAY. I don't want to have to do anything with more prayers, novenas, Black Nazarene, bible studies, Retreats, prayer meetings, confession, mass, communion, indeed, I don't want to have anything to do with a Spanish, or American, or Jewish Savior. Or worst, I do not want to have to do anything with a God or an Allah and or a Yahweh or what-not. Over my dead body. Poch Suzara
How unkind of God to lead people to the edge of a cliff to test their faith in revelation. Isn't God already busy enough leading people not to fall into temptation? What's the purpose then of people's supplication. for divine intervention? Poch Suzara

The Faithfools

Instead of attaching more credibility to the power of a logic, the faithfools would rather submit to the fantastic claims of the Old and the New Testament explaining God's kind of silly magic. Poch Suzara

Divine Booboo

Never mind Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, Noah and the rest of those silly bible characters. If God had only created first the Virgin Mary born without original Sin who gave birth to Jesus as His only begotten Son of God - our world would be a paradise today? In the meantime, I am most proud of God and His Virgin Mary. They practiced family planning and birth control measures. They only had one son, didn't they? Poch Suzara
Jesus was not born a Catholic. Even at the time of his baptism, there was not, as yet established - the Roman Catholic Church. So, as the song goes: what's going on?
