The Church in Commerce

The Church is now the greatest of commercial enterprises existing anywhere in the world today. Indeed, the church has investments in mining, shipping, trading, importing, exporting, banking, buying up more real estates and prime properties. The church is even heavily invested in the manufacturing of arms and weapons of mass destruction as a preparation to make war against the unbelievers of the faith. Otherwise, how does one explain the wealth of the Church at par with the wealth of the United States government into trillion of dollars? Poch Suzara

Render unto

Render unto God the things that are God's; and unto the devil the things that are the devil's. Forget therefore your free will. It's a fight as to which of those two supernatural morons will win you over to either side. After all, your silly free will is nothing compared to the power God's will or to the power as well of the Devil's will. Poch Suzara

The Will of the Devil or the Will of God

I have more respect for the deviltry than I have for divinity. The devil never inspired authors to write a book called: the HOLY DEVIL. Indeed, the devil has never written a book to make poorer the minds of men or to frighten the hearts of women. Unlike the book called the holy bible written by inspired authors of God. I must, however, admit that I am most grateful for the existence of the holy bible. I read it thoroughly and properly. The bible contents indeed convinced me that I will be better off as a saner, wiser, healthier, and happier person as an unbeliever of the faith. Indeed, as an atheist. Poch Suzara

United Religions

Since decades ago, a "United Nations" has already been established to explore peace and harmony among nations; and yet, since centuries ago, there is still no such thing as the "United Religions" to explore possibilities of peace on earth and goodwill to all men. Poch Suzara

Filipino Dentists

Most Filipno dentists are much more conversant with biblical theology than they are familiar with the latest in dental technology. 82 million of the population of 85 million Filipinos suffer from rotting teeth, decaying molars, and bleeding gums. Yet, most Filipino dentists are far more interested to save the souls of Fellow-Filipinos for heaven than to save their set of teeth on this earth. Poch Suzara

My Beliefs and Unbeliefs

I am not only responsible for my actions, I am also responsible for my beliefs. As I see reality, so I act, and as I act, I shape reality. All ideas are man made, and none are the absolute truth. Common sense dictates that I should evaluate my beliefs on the basis of how it affects my life. If my beliefs make me loving, creative, and free - they are good beliefs. If, however, my beliefs make me selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane - I should be better off with my unbeliefs. Poch Suzara

Indifference

Indifference to the search for the truth is our only national defect, and it is regrettable that so large a body as Christianity in the Philippines should devote its power and influence to perpetuate more indifference as well to the other beauties that life has to offer. Poch Suzara

Bible Inspired Authors

Bible inspired authors of God knew not that the world is round; knew not that the earth rotates on its own axis daily; and knew not that the earth orbits around the sun yearly. They also knew nothing about the existence of germ, virus, and bacteria that causes diseases. And yet such inspired authors knew and acknowledged that diseases were caused by the devil. If God had only kept away from these morons writing the bible, there probably won't be any atheists, like me, existing in the world today. Poch Suzara

Each Child

Each child is a loving act of procreation. Each child is chosen, welcomed, needed, and loved. He or she is recognized as a vital member of society. Not, however, in the Philippines: each child is just a product of copulation inside marriage; if not a product of fecundation outside of marriage. If one wishes to see how exactly a child is chosen, welcomed, needed, and loved - just visit, day or night, the streets of Metro Manila. Poch Suzara

According to Science

According to science, the brain is a three pound mass you can hold in your hand that can conceive of a universe a hundred billion light-years across. Not, however, according to religion in the Philippines: the brain may be a three pound mass; but it is not as useful as the knees in prayers to God - the creator of the universe. Poch Suzara

Better Questions

Berween moments of joys and laughter, pain and suffering, good times and bad times - I have found more meaning in life not by being stuck or contented with stupid answers, but more so by formulating for myself more intelligent questions. Poch Suzara

My Brain

My brain is a gift from nature and I certainly need my brain to understand the wonders in nature. Unfortunately in school, the very first thing my teachers tried so hard to destroy was my precious brain; especially via the teachings that what is more important to God is not my brain, but my stupid soul. Poch Suzara

In First World

In First World countries, despite its science and technology, the frontiers of knowledge are still wide open. Not, however, in the Third World countries, like the Philippines. As Jesus Christ is the answer to all of our troubles and problems, the frontiers of knowledge have been closed centuries ago. Thus, in this 21st century, we are still troubled as a people burdened with many problems as a nation. Poch Suzara

The Origin of Life

According to science, if you wish to explore the origin of life, you must first be familiar with the knowlede of chemistry, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, astronomy, physics, and geology. According to religion, however, if you wish to know the origin of life, all you have to do is to know a few verses in the holy bible. Specially if you believe that the bible was written by inspired authors even if you yourself were never inspired as a reader by God. Poch Suzara

The Sacred books

In the Philippines, the sacred bible and the Church have been and still is greatest stumbling blocks in the way of children's sane education, women's sane emancipation, and the Filipino struggle for a sane civilization. In other countries, it is the same thing with the sacred Koran for the Muslims; and the sacred Talmud for the Jews. Poch Suzara

Utopia and Heaven

What heaven is to the theologians, utopia is to the scientists. The former is happiness in the next life in the next world; the latter is happiness in this life and in this world. As the theologians know nothing of the next life or even the next world, I attach more credence to what the scientists are saying. They certainly know more about this life and this world. The theologians do not even know who or what their boss looks like. Poch Suzara

Governments

Governments, before America existed, were established on the basis of so-called "divine rights" of Kings and Queens. Such governments were theocracies or "ruled by God" and therefore undemocractic, if not authoritarian. In the Philippines, we too have a government, though not of, by, and for the people; but a government for the high government officials. Such high officials are always in cahoots with the Church high officials. Poch Suzara

A major Newspaper

When we have a major newspaper such as the prestigious Philippine Star print daily something like "nothing on earth can compare to being with Christ in heaven," you can clearly see just how poor we are as a people and just how backward we are as a nation. This the same Christ who was born in Israel some 2,000 years ago; and Israel is not even a Christian, but a Jewish State today. Poch suzara

Astronomy

According to the science of astronomy, 1,000 earths can fit inside the planet Jupiter; but 10,000 jupiters can fit inside our sus. Our sun is so small in that 100,000 suns can fit inside the smallest star out there in the galaxy. In the meantime, I am told by the theologians that on this earth I am able to offend God - the creator of heaven and earth. What a treat! I did not know I have that much power. Poch Suzara

Pain

Pain is nature's signal to do something and/or to stop doing something. In the Philippines, however, pain is the signal to continue with our daily prayers, or that it is time to re-elect our stupid politicians back in government. Poch Suzara
