Twisted Minds and Distorted Hearts

To solve social problems, to grow and to develop, to be well-informed citizens of our country - passionate minds and compassionate hearts are needed. Thanks, however, to a sick system of education that promotes nothing but corruption as a way of life in our country; and, indeed,the promise of a reward or punishment in the next life, naturally, with our twisted minds and distorted hearts, our social problems as a people, and troubles as a nation keep us poor as a people and indeed, backward as a nation. As for Bob Gabuna and his gang in this forum, I would look at them not as the intelligent masters, but as the sick victims of a sick system of education in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in all of Asia since the 16th century.

Human Dignity

I would rather be wrong intellectually and enjoy my self-respect and dignity than be right academically and then enjoy the promotion of social insanity. Such is our sick society. Everybody is right academically, but wrong intellectually. Poch Suzara

Silly Souls

It is sad to see in Catholic countries Catholics are more involved not with improving human civilization; but involved only in deep faith praying to God to gain after death eternal salvation. As if God in hell must yet win more Catholic souls away from the Catholic devil in charge of a Catholic heaven. Poch Suzara

The Bible Says

The bible says: "THOU SHALT NOT FOLLOW THE MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL." Exodus 23:2. Indeed, let us not follow the teachings of the bible.It is the greatest of evil. Biblical values and beliefs have not ceased to destroy the human mind for the pleasures of divinity, and have not ceased to destroy the human heart for the joys of deviltry. Poch Suzara

Scientific Way

In the ultimate analysis, there is only critical thinking and evidential reasoning with which to examine the truths claimed by authority, or tradition, or revelation. Another word for critical thinking and evidential reasoning is called the scientific way of thinking. It is not only powerful, but there is also nothing quite like it in all of nature. Poch Suzara

Freedom From Religion

As children in school we were highly exposed to the freedom of religion. Hardly, however, were we deeply exposed to the freedom away from religion. Today as grown-ups, for the sake of our sick religion, we have become the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

I Am a Thinking Atheist

I am a thinking atheist. I take full responsibility for my own destiny. I do not care for life after death. For millions of years before I was born, I was a nothing; and for millions of years after I am dead I will again be a nothing. If the former does not bother me, why should the latter? Poch Suzara

As an Atheist I Do Not Believe

I am an active and a passive atheist at the same time: active, because I do not believe that God exists; and passive, because even if God is existing somewhere up there, it is quite obvious to me that his existence is totally irrelevant to human affairs down here. Poch Suzara

All Religious Faith

All religious faith is a form of cowardice in the face of the unknown. Most religious people, however, believe that such cowardice is really an inspiration from divine wisdom. Poch Suzara

A Bunch of Dummies

If we were a bunch of dummies in this God-forsaken country, I say, blame the schools, colleges, and universities. They are places where they teach that this temporary life is nothing compared to the eternal life that's waiting for us after we are all dead and gone. Poch Suzara

Your Stolen Mind

As soon as your mind is stolen away from you in school, you are assured rhen that you are now a "religious person." And if you carry on in life with a great sense of guilt and fear under deep faith in God, and always as a sinner proud to support financially the church, then you are promised that you might even end up to be one of the great saints of God in heaven. Poch Suzara

The Birth of Jesus

If Jesus was born of a virgin mother, then either Jesus never existed or his mother was never a virgin. I am inclined to suspect Jesus never existed all. Otherwise, what's the purpose of unduly exaggerating supernaturally the nature of his birth naturally? At any rate, whatever the case may be, Just like you and me and everybody else who came out of mom's womb, we are all born atheist. Indeed, no one is born a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim. When we were born, none of us had a religion nor faith in God. Poch Suzara

Our Unhappy Society

Ours is not a happy society. On the contrary, ours is a sick society. But what can be expected of a people educated to embrace sick values and to cherish sick beliefs and to promote a sick culture if we hope to gain eternal happiness in heaven in the next life? Poch Suzara

The Aim of Education

The primary aim of education in this only Christian country in Asia: - to be prepared not for this life; but prepared only for the next life. In fact, in the choice between allegiance to God and allegiance to our country, there is no question that we must, first and foremost, have allegiance only to God. In the meantime, in our country, who cares about love of country in the here and now? Poch Suzara

Crocodiles in the Jungle

Crocodiles in the jungle have become symbols of our politicians in government: greedy, selfish, stupid, and insane. But please, let's not insult the poor crocodiles. They have no college degrees; and they are not born-raised-educated to have faith in God as good and faithful Christians. Poch Suzara

Beliefs are Worthless

Beliefs devoid of evidence are worthless. In fact, even with evidence, beliefs are still worthless because a fact remains a fact even if there is no one there to believe it or not to believe it. Evolution, for example, is not a theory, but a fact; and even if millions of people do not believe it, evolution will remain as a fact until proven otherwise. Poch suzara

After I am Dead

After I am dead and gone, I should wish to be remembered only as an atheist. If that were not possible, I should wish to be remembered as the one and only Filipino who was never afraid to openly admit or to publicly declare, or even to maintain consistently - that I am a devout atheist." If I were to end up in hell with God, I would even be more proud to be an atheist forever and ever. Poch Suzara

If God made Man

If God made man in his own image and likeness, in whose image and likeness was woman made of? After all, there is a hell of a lot of difference in shape, size, purpose, and function between a penis and a vagina. Are we to assume that God has not only a penis, but also a vagina found in between his legs? Now let us assume that it is not a joke that God created men and women in his own image and likeness. So how come we can physically see each other as we are materially visible, but we cannot see God as he is spiritually invisible? For my part, ever since I was sixteen years old, I gradually stopped playing the silly HIDE AND SEEK games with God! Poch Suzara

Karl Popper

According to Karl Popper: "No rational argument will have effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude." But then again, I ask: how would an irrational child grow up to be rational if he were never exposed to the power of rational arguments? Poch Suzara

The Enemies of Science

The enemies of science are fear, ignorance, and superstition - precisely the friends and indeed, the foundation of all religions.
The enemy of religion is another religion. Poch Suzara
