Medical Science

I am more physically encouraged by medical science than I am spiritually inspired by medical religion. In medical religion, I get no help for an erection. In medical science, after an erection, it even sees to it that I enjoy a resurrection. Poch Suzara

The Key to Economic Growth

The key to economic growth is knowledge. Knowledge not based upon the unknowable like in religion; but knowledge precisely based upon the observable and therefore knowable like in science. Poch Suzara

In La Salle Grade School

When we were kids in La Salle grade school, we were taught to believe that during the Lenten Season it is a sin to eat meat on Good Fridays. However, for the sake of earning eternal happiness in the next life, it was a virtue for many of us to think like cows and live like pigs during the rest of the year. Poch Suzara

In This Country

In this country we all enjoy the freedom to have faith. We do not, however, enjoy also the freedom to have a conscience. Nobody has a conscience in this faith-soaked country. Is there hope for the Philippines? Yes, there is hope; but we must first discard the Vatican trash and Hollywood garbage out of our sick culture. Poch Suzara

I Respect People

I respect people for what they think as individuals. I find it despicable, however, to respect a group of people indoctrinated in school during childhood days to gullibly believe in a lot of sacred lies. Poch Suzara

Local Newspaper Publishers

Local newspaper publishers and columnists have not given up suggesting to readers that the Philippines can be a great nation again. This is fine and dandy if, in fact, the Philippines was once, in the past, a great nation. The Philippines is still a land of missed opportunties, if not the land of lesser evils. Its democracy is still under a theocracy. The government is mostly composed of cheap officials always ready the sell to the foreigners what's left of the Pearl of the Orient. Poch Suzara

The Thing About The Atheists

The thing about the atheists is that they are far more conversant with bible contents than most Christians are. For my part, if I did not discover the lies, inconsistencies, contradictions, absurdities, obscenities, and cruelties written in the bible, I never would have lost my faith in God. And that would have been my life's greatest tragedy - not to have ended up as a happy and devout atheist that I
am today and tomorrow and for eternity to come. Poch Suzara

According to DENR

According to the Department of Energy and Natural Resources, the Marikina river, San Juan river, Navotas-Malabon, and Tullahan river have all already died. Fortunately, we Filipinos do not care for dead rivers. What's more important to us are the dead ideas behind our dead values and dead beliefs that's keeping our culture dead? Poch Suzara

College Professors

College professors in the Philippines are among the first to admit that the scientific way is just one of the ways of thinking. That there are others, such as the religious way. Science, however, has already junked the claims of religion, and religion in retaliation has not yet done the same with the findings of science. In fact today, religion is in a very poor situation desperately trying to save its face. It is seeking an accommodation with science. Well, can science and religion reconcile? Yes! They can! But religion must first reconcile with other religions. Science knows that such a merger is not possible as religions, since for the love of God up there, are too busy hating and fighting each other down here. Poch Suzara

How Sad of God

How sad of God in the Garden of Eden. He had more on the side of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil than he was on the side with the education for Adam and Eve. Both deprived of childhood years without loving parents to guide them. Is it possible that God ignored the opportunity to give our first parents a healthy kind of upbringing in order to give the devil a head start in the business of evil for the future of the human race? Poch Suzara

Poverty Kills

As a matter of plain truth we are all poor as we all suffer from poverty of the worst kind: the poverty of the human mind and heart. Thanks to our sick system of education that taught us to believe that life after death with God in heaven up there is much better than life after birth in our country down here. In the meantime, Poverty kills. Specially children - horribly. One of the simplest, most effective way to help lift a population out of poverty is to give women total and educated freedom to control their own reproductive fertility. Indeed, when fertility indicates that a child is likely to be the result of sex and that child will be born under a life of suffering and little joy, the choice is clear: allow the child to remain in nothingness. No child should be forced to live in a sick world of pain and suffering and early death to please the greedy stupid morons behind the priesthood industry. In the meantime, overpopulation is forcing an incredible rise in malnutrition, illiteracy, political mediocrity, and social insanity. Poch Suzara

The Bible Says

The bible says: "Dust art thou and unto dust thou shalt return." Well, if God made man in his own image and likeness, then God must be made of dust too. And to think that we have not ceased praying daily to a dusty God to save our dusty little souls to end up in dusty kingdom of heaven. Poch Suzara

The Power of Prayer

We Filipinos are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia. For centuries, we enjoyed the colonial mentality. Today, in the world of modern science and technology, we are enjoying even more the loser's mentality. Thanks to the power of prayer and theology, in the race to achieve the higher standard of living and thinking, our Asian neighbors are way ahead of the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century Poch Suzara

Children of God

If we were all children of God, then Jesus was not the Son, but the Grandson of God, as Mary, his mother, was the daughter of God. Jesus had the power to perform miracles. He made the blind see, the deft hear, the lame walk. He multiplied loaves of bread to feed the multitude. He could walk on water, change water into wine; cured leprosy, and even raised the dead back to life. Curiously enough, not a single one of those grateful individuals appeared in court to testify that Jesus was a miracle healer; not a trouble-maker. Even his own apostles abandoned Jesus. They all disappeared out of sight. Nevertheless, crucified on the cross, Jesus cried out: "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Jesus could have been more honest with himself if He had instead cried out: "My God, as your only grandson on this earth, this crucifixion business is a little bit absurd. How can I die to save the world today if I will be able to resurrect myself back to life tomorrow?" Jesus was indeed a failure. His mission to destroy the devil did not materialize. The devil is still alive and quite a success living in the only Christian country in Asia. The devil continues to inspire the Philippine government to solve problems of the nation with prayers. Indeed, the devil must be so proud of his achievements; especially since it is turning out more obvious that God is not omni-present, but only always omni-absent and always holding the hands of Jesus not to get lost again. Poch Suzara

The Day The Philippines

The day the Philippines became the only Christian country in Asia, it ceased to be a part of Asia and we Filipinos ceased to be Asian. Indeed, we Filipinos loved and still do love to be identified only as devout and faithful Christians. We have been educated to ignore our Asian roots.Poch Suzara

Degraded Women

According to the bible, degraded women are best left degraded. Indeed, the bible authors blamed Eve as the primary source of all evils, responsible for the Fall of Man through Eve's Original Sin. As if there never was the Original Creator. The story of Eve is the corner stone of Christianity. Without the Doctrine of the Fall, the whole Christian superstructure collapses together with the devil. And how wonderful of God to have given the devil a major role to play in the Christian scheme for eternal salvation. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Neither the Church Nor Government

Neither the church nor the government would lift a finger to assist women with unwanted pregnancy; yet, both the church and the government would not ceased dominating the reproductive system of millions of women in this poverty-stricken, spiritually poor, and morally bankrupt only Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara

As a Little Boy

As a little boy then, each time my parents or grandparents brought me inside a cathedral, fear overwhelmed me. As I got to be older and I fell in love with the search of the truth, I found out why: A Cathedral is a monument to human stupidity
as erected by the everlasting inspiration of deviltry. Poch Suzara

Scientific Knowledge

Scientific knowledge cannot be denied. It can only be proved; or, as the case may be - disproved. However the case may be, scientific knowledge is always subject to improvement. The theologians, foolishly, denied that the earth rotates around the sun; denied that it is billions of years old; and denied that man evolved from other apes. Hell, the theologians even deny that science could cure diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, or even appendicitis. Poch Suzara

Anti-nature of Religion

The ideas of religion are anti-life, anti-human, anti-peace, anti-female, and anti-pleasure. Such religious ideas must be analyzed, dissected, challenged, and discarded in the public intellectual arena. Then once defeated, dead and buried, and no more of a burden,it should give mankind a chance to grow up and mature and stop hating and killing each other specially often in God's name. Poch Suzara
