The United Nations

The world has already established the United Nations for the sake of humanity. It has yet, however, to establish the United Religions for the sake of divinity. Poch Suzara

The Way, Light, and the Truth

There was a time when the Way, the Light, and the Truth ruled the world. It lasted for a thousand years. It was called the "Dark Ages." Poch Suzara

A thief

According to the bible, there is nothing wrong with being a thief. Look at the thief crucified along side with Jesus. For believing that Jesus was the Son of God, the thief was promised eternal salvation in paradise. Poch Suzara

Contradition

Not only the Old Testament contradict the New Testament. Not only the gospel of Matthew, Luke, John, and Mark contradict each other; but the Cathlic version, Duane Version, the King James Version, the Good News Version, etc. all contradict each other. Moreover, there are 37 different versions of the bible for sale in the market today. But go to any bookstore, you will find only one version of the Multiplication Table Chart. And to think that the multiplication table - the perfect model of truth - was not written by inspired authors of God. Poch Suzara

In The Search of the Truth

In the search of the truth, since they could not find it, the theologians have taken the back seat. They now let the scientists do the driving. Poch Suzara

Notice

Notice how God, soul, heaven, hell, demons, angels, and everything else that is invisible all look exactly alike? Poch Suzara

According to Catholic Teachings

According to Catholic teachings, if you were childlike, innocent, and indeed questionaless, you have a better chance of gaining eternal salvation and be with God in heaven after you are dead. Poch Suzara

If a spiritual God

If a spiritual God designed the material universe, who or what designed the spiritual designer? Poch Suzara

Religion and Politics

Religion is just as worthless as politics because in both, the holding of a belief without evidence is a necessity. Poch Suzara

In schools and Universities

In schools and universities, they teach all sorts of information, except the evidence for its truthfulness. Indeed, they teach WHAT to believe, and not HOW to think. Poch Suzara

Respect for God

How could I respect God who showed more concern for his silly apple tree than showing kind attention to the plight of his children in paradise? Poch Suzara

The Success of Christianity

Christianity owes its great success not so much owing to the teachings of Christ, but owing mostly to the existence of the devil. Indeed, without the devil, there would be no need to save one's soul from eternal damnation. Poch Suzara

Faith in God

The priesthood industry knows full well that if God ever comes out from hiding, there would be no need for faith in God anymore. And so, the priesthood industry sees to it that God never comes out of hiding. Poch Suzara

Most of our Beliefs

If most of our cherished beliefs were wrong a hundred years ago, it follows that our most cherished beliefs today will turn our wrong also a hundred years from now. Poch Suzara

Cholera and faith

Cholera and faith are alike an epidemic; fortunately science has already found the cure for cholera. Religion has yet not found the cure for faith as it is still an evil pretty much inspiring the war between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, and the killings in God's name going on the Middle East today between the Jews, the Muslimsn and the Christians. Poch Suzara

Believe in God again

Introduce me to a God who can impregnate a virgin; resurrect back to life Bertrand Russell and Carl Sagan; cure the pimples off the face of my 15 year old son, and I will believe in the existence of God once again. Poch Suzara

To err

To err is not only human, it is being religious. To forgive is not only divine, it is to become more religious. Indeed, there is money to be made in the business of errors and forgiveness. Ask Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, now a billionaire in the business of selling religious errors for the sake of forgiveness. Poch Suzara

Where's Jesus

The theologians are suppose to be quite knowledgeable on the subject of God, heaven and hell, including the Gospels and the bible, but ask any of them for the whereabouts of Jesus Christ? They know not. Neither the dead nor the living among the theologians have any idea as to where exactly Jesus is existing at present. Poch Suzara

The cruelty from Jesus

Jesus seemed not familiar with the writings of the Old Testament.
He obviously did not know that His own father drowned the entire population of the world except for eight people. Otherwise, if Jesus were familiar with the killings, he was not fair to command: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all of thy heart, with all of thy soul, and with all of thy mind." For my part, I am nost proud to have walked out of the Catholic Church years ago. Specially when I discovered that Jesus himself was a misguided Catholic. Poch Suzara

If God were powerful

If God were indeed all that powerful, he surely is able to find a way to give the creatures he made in his image and likeness some of that power. In this way, we do not have to waste time praying to God to lead us not into temptation or to give us this day our daily bread or to worry about an anti-Christ situation on the rise in the Middle East. Poch Suzara

Curse the Darkness

It is better to light up a candle than to curse the darkness. For my part, I am working daily to make my surroundings cleaner, healthier, and brighter. I have no need of candles. Poch Suzara

My teachers in La Salle

My teachers in La Salle were not devoted thinkers or passionate researchers of the truth. They were men afraid of new and fresh ideas. My education therefore was not a thrill or a joy, but in fact a threat. Indeed, in school, I was never taught how to think; only what to believe. It was always impressed upon my malleable mind that the frontiers of knowledge are closed. How utterly wrong and pathetic were my teachers in school. But I cried more not my teachers, but for all my classmates and schoolmates. None apparently saw the painful light as I alarmingly did. Poch Suzara

Jesus said

In the bible Jesus said: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Is it any wonder that we do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world? As a matter of fact, we hate the world and hate the things that are in the world, specially as we are faithful Catholics devoted to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Poch Suzara

If you were miserably married

If you were miserably married to your husband, and God had him killed, you would obviously believe that God's grace never ends. Such was the case of Gracie Burnham, whose husband was killed by bandits in a kidnap ordeal in Mindanao. She admitted openly and publicly that: God's grace never ends." Poch Suzara

Nature cares for Man

The universe may go on uncaring and unknowing of the existence of man. But nature cares. After all, man is a product of nature as it proceeds to be conscious of itself. Nature evolves not aimlessly or purposelessly, but precisely meaningfully for nature created the human mind. Poch Suzara

Religious Leaders

Religious leaders such as Mike Velarde of El Shaddai would urge his poor followers to turn their umbrella upside down in order to catch manna from heaven. What the followers do catch, however, is not manna, not even rotten banana, but a lot of tra-la-la behind the silly religious drama. Poch Suzara

My mind is not a terrible thing

My mind is not a terrible thing. On the contrary, my mind is a wonderful thing. It is only terrible when the potentials of my
mind are utterly wasted. Poch Suzara

I care for Happines

I care for happiness in this world. I do not care for happiness in the next world. There ins't any. Whatever the case may be, I hold
as forever true what Bertrand Russell wrote: "Happiness is the nonethelesss true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting. Poch Suzara

Nothing before Birth and Nothing After Death

It does not bother to realize that I have arrived into this world as an atheist. I should be happier when I leave this world one day as an atheist too. Before I was conceived, without a brain, I had no capacity to believe. After I am dead, and my brain dead also, I will again have no capacity to believe. Indeed, if it does not bother me to believe that I was a nothing before I was born, why should it bother me to believe that I will again be a nothing after I am dead? Poch Suzara

I have Nothing Against

I have nothing against Filipino scientists except when they are too timid to speak out openly against false values and silly beliefs that continue to promote not only stupidity but also insanity in our already sick society. Poch Suzara

What is the difference?

What is the difference between human creed and human greed when one destroys the body and the other destroys the mind? Poch Suzara

The Human Brain

If God gifted us with a brain and expect us to use it, how come our knowledge of God have not grown with more knowledge of his creation? Indeed, even the theologians in this day and age know not whether God is a He, a She, and It; or, whether Gid a supernatural Tootie Frootie, or just an Almighty Patootie. Poch Suzara

A silly God

Why would a good God incarnate himself as a man knowing full well that man is essentially sinful by nature? But then again, why would God reveal himself to the theologians knowing full well that theology is not a branch of knowledge; it is but a branch of ignorance and with wings at that. Poch Suzara

Science in brief

Science in brief: - today's up-to-date is tomorrow's out-of-date. Indeed, nothing is definite in science as it's findings are tentative and always subject to change or emendations. Poch Suzara

Philippine Presidents

At the rate all presidents of the Philippines, past and present, have prayed for divine intervention to solve the nation's troubles and problems, Malacanang has been transformed into a cathedral, and no longer a presidential palace. Poch Suzara

Atheists

I have the highest respect, the greatest of admiration, and the deepest affection for the atheists. To begin with, those atheistic friends and atheistic associates of mine are not in Congress. Poch Suzara

Religion and Alzheimer's

Religion is like a disease, exactly like alzheimer's - it destroys the mind. Happily, both evils are curable by science. Poch Suzara

Metaphysics and Religion

Metaphysics and religion are one and the same thing. One is beyond physics and the other beyond reality. It's comforting to believe in either just as long as one does not discover that both metaphysics and religion are based on a lot of unscientific nonsense. Poch Suzara

Jesuit Astronomers

Jesuit astronomers say that astronomy is the study of the universe in order to find God. Apparently, these Jesuit astronomers do not believe that God is here, there, and everywhere. Poch Suzara

Wealthy individuals

There is no such thing as wealthy individuals in the Philippines. Despite their millions, Christianity has stolen away from such wealthy individuals their precious minds and precious hearts.They are just as poor as everyone else in this God-forsaken only Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara

Our democracy Without Science

Our democracy is a farce, a fraud, and a ceremony. It has yet to flourish in a climate of rationalism that sees ideas and beliefs as true and others as false. Science needs democracy as much as democracy needs science. The two in fact are one and neither exist in the Philippines.

A democracy without science, encourages the cult of mediocrity, fosters vulgarity, generates political stupidity, and enhances infantile religiosity. In the end, what prevails is social insanity, hardly a democracy. Poch Suzara

Theologians tell me

Theologians say that the human body is a temple of God. No kidding?. Right at this very minute there are about 2 billion different kinds of viruses, germs, and bacteria trying to kill your body and my body and such little creatures created by God will eventually succeed to kill us all whether we pray or do not pray to God. Indeed, the day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. There is no escape! None whatsoever! Poch Suzara

God's design

If my pair of eyes were such that it is a product of God's design, I would have no need for a microscope to see things in the small; or, a telescope to see things far away. Science, and not religion, designed the microscope and the telescope. Poch Suzara

No Kingdom

No kingdom has ever had more hate and misery and poverty than the kingdom of Christ. Such is the case in the Philippines. In this only Christian country in Asia, in order to enter the kingdom of Christ, one must use the gates of hell. Poch Suzara

Think of It

Think of it: Our national hero Jose Rizal earned his first class education and earned his membership in first class scientific associations in foreign countries. Poch Suzara

What science cannot discover

What science cannot discover, religion cannot know. In this connection, it will not be religion, but science eventually will discover God, if in fact there is a God. As for religion, it will remain forever a nothing but an unsubstantiated superstition. Poch Suzara

Believers hating other believers

At the rate Christians unhappily hate other Christians, Muslims unhappily hate other Muslims, The Jews unhappily hate other Jews; and the Christians and the Muslims and the Jews all unhappily hate each other, I am most proud and always happy to be an atheist. I have no need to believe and to have faith in the religious monkey that is suppose to be mysteriously existing on my shoulders. Poch Suzara

Guns do not kill people

Not everyone has a gun; but everyone has a doctor. Guns do not kill people; doctors do. In fact, doctors make tons of money off the dying. Poch Suzara

The existence of God

I cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. If God exists however, I do not care love, worship, and adore such a God. I am part of what is natural. I know nothing of the supernatural. How
can I love, worship, and adore something I know nothing about? Poch Suzara

Harmful beliefs

The most harmful of beliefs is belief in God. We hate those who do not believe in the same God as we do. Thus, the Christians, Muslims, and the Jews have not ceased hating each other in God's name or in Allah's name or in Jehovah's name. Poch Suzara

The only Pill

The only pill the Catholic Church approves of in the Philippines is the sleeping pill. In this way, nobody wakes up to the stupidity behind our social insanity perpetually ongoing in this God-forsaken country. Poch Suzara

To the average Pinoy

To the average Pinoy the power of knowledge means nothing, but the power of God means everything. Then we could not even wonder why in this 21st century we are still living in a Third World country deprived of science and the scientific way of thinking. Poch Suzara

I love philosophy and the Bible

I love philosophy as there is no such thing as the revealed truth in philosophy. In fact, philosophy is still searching for the truth. But I love the holy bible even more. It contains so many revealed truths even if such truths have not yet been revealed. Poch Suzara

Our present problems

Our present problems are the products of our present consciousness; but consciousness that create problems cannot solve them. Only a higher degree of consciousness especially with the scientific way of thinking can do that and until that is attained, we shall remain victims of our own stupid problems. Poch Suzara

Free Will Garbage

Most people brag about having free will. They have yet, however, to be liberated from it. How can we ever discover the truth if during our formative years in grade school we were told to believe that the truth has already been revealed as written by inspired authors of God in the holy bible? Poch suzara

Jesus

According to the Good News bible, Jesus sacrificed himself to die on the cross for the sins of mankind. According to the Bad News bible, Jesus resurrected back to life. Where is the sacrifice? Well, according to the Catholic bible, Jesus was neither killed by the Jews nor by the Romans but by men all precisely created in the image and likeness of God. And to think Jesus never really died as he resurrected back to life. Poch Suzara

Olympic Games

Too bad there are no Olympic games for lies, graft and corruption. Our top politicians in government and our top officials of the Christian churches should easily be the winners for Gold, silver, and bronze Medals. Poch Suzara

Pray for Satan

My devout friends,catholic relatives, and religious associates have not ceased praying for the salvation of my soul. As for me, I pray to God for the salvation of Satan. After all, Satan should be highly respected. He has never inspired any one to write a book in order to inspire nations to declare war against each other in his name or for his glory. Poch Suzara

Religious happiness

Religious happiness on earth is believing that those who do not share
our religious faith are suffering on this earth, and those who had already died are suffering eternal damnation in hell. Poch Suzara

Filipino scientists

Filipino scientists who should be at home with the scientific way of thinking are among the timid cowards of our sick society. Not one of these learned individuals would come out publicly to speak out clearly against the evils of religion or the evils of politics that's keeping the Filipino poor as a people. Not one of our Filipino scientists would admit publicly that the only thing that will extricate the Philippines out of its eternal backwardness is not more religion or more politics, but only more science and the scientific way of thinking. But then again, who are our Filipino scientists? Where are they? How come nobody hears from these learned individuals? For my part, as a non-scientist, in fact as a high-school dropout, I would look closer at our system of education responsible for more evils in the Philippines than evils from the devil himself. Poch Suzara

According to Religion

According to religion, the Son of God Jesus was born on this earth. According to science, earth is such an insignificant planet. It is so small in that 1,000 planet earths can fit inside the planet Jupiter. Well, Jupiter is rather tiny as well. 100,000 Jupiters can fit inside the sun. Well, the sun is no big deal either as there exist stars 500 times bigger than our sun. Our planet earth is a smote of dust lost in space and in time. Why should God, the creator of the universe, choose a mote of dust in the universe as a place to have his only begotten Son born? Poch Suzara

The Power of God

If the power of God could convert the Philippines into becoming a Christian country since the 16th century, how come that same power of God could not convert Israel into becoming a Christian country as well? Consider after all the Son of God Jesus was not born in the Philippines. Jesus was born in Israel during the 1st century. It is today not a Christian, but a Jewish State. Poch Suzara

All the Money

You may have all the money in the world; but money will not buy love for the loveless, brain for the brainless, heart for the heartless, and it will not buy you a spine if you were spineless. Poch Suzara

The Nation that fears

The nation that fears it has no future is not likely to give much concern to the needs of its children. Thus, the plight of most children abandoned, if not suffering from malnutrition in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara

The Easiest Thing to do

The easiest thing to do in this world is to get your wife or girlfriend or lover pregnant. The hardest thing to do is to raise unwanted and unloved children to grow up as decent human beings. Poch Suzara

Wars over Revaled Truth

Think of it: There has never been a war declared over conflicting interpretation of the Multiplication Table. Yet, wars today are still ongoing over the Revealed Truth as stated in the Christian Holy Bible, in the Muslim Quoran, and in the Jewish Talmud. Poch Suzara

The Poor Filipino

We are the poorest people on this earth. When we are in other countries, we work hard for the rich foreigners. When the rich foreigners are in our country, we work harder for them to make ourselves not richer, but poorer. Look how, despite our hard work, we managed to owe the foreigners some $58,000,000,000 (billion) dollars or P3,000,000,000,000 ( trillion ) pesos.Poch Suzara

The Original Atheist

I have great respect for Adam and Eve as depicted in the bible. They were not Christians in general nor Catholics in particular. And considering God in cahoots with the devil together to bring about the Fall of man, I would not be surprised if Adam and Eve ended up to be the original atheists who lived on this earth. Indeed, I am most proud to be an atheist myself. I think the idea of a divinity existing together with deviltry is an idea that eternally sucks! Poch Suzara

Origin of Humankind

According to science, the origin of humankind transpired sometime within 2.5 million years ago. Life became aware of itself, and began to transform the world of nature to its own end. Not, however, according to religion in the Philippines. Everything began when the Spanish Friars arrived some 500 years ago to convert the Filipinos into the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ who was born in Israel some 2,000 years ago. Poch Suzara

To Believe

To believe is a most wonderful thing. You don't have the know what you believe; you don't even have to understand what it is you believe. In fact, as long as you never learn how to think, and you do not know or understand the nature of your beliefs, you are considered to be a faithful believer. Poch Suzara

Charter Change

In the Philippines, we are still talking about the need of a Charter change; but we desperately need is a character change. Poch Suzara

College Graduates

College graduates run the Philippines. As a high-school dropout, I am most proud that I play no part whatsoever in the stupid mess that is keeping the Philippines poor and backward. Poch Suzara

Poorly Educated

A poorly educated person is one who believes that to be thoughtful of others is one of the horrors that nature has imposed upon him. Poch Suzara

Devoid of vision

Because the priesthood industry has imprisoned the Filipino mind with a vision of eternal happiness with God in heaven, it prevents him from seeing earthly solutions to national problems. Indeed, where there is vision of the here and the now people flourish; where there is only vision of life after death people perish. Poch Suzara

One Painful Thing

One of the most painful things in life: a stupid fellow who has no other recourse but to relate to you as only another stupid fellow. Poch Suzara

The Good Life

The good life should be like a good country or, for that matter, like a good world: - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. For my part, however, my good life has been and still is inspired by my love for reading and studying the works of Bertrand Russell. Poch Suzara

God's Existence

God's existence is not needed by those who have self-respect and dignity. God's existence is for those who are contented with their own timidity, and therefore have no taste to assume responsibility for humanity. Poch Suzara

The Concept of Evil

Evil is a concept of religion, not science. Evil is just one of the many fruits of ignorance. Science is in the daily business of eliminating not evil, but ignorance. It leaves evil alone as the secret behind the success of religion. Poch Suzara

PTA

Just to prove that our system of education is just as poor and backward as ever: there exist no active relationship of any kind between teachers, parents, students, together with the business community, a representative from the Police Department, and there is no representative from the Garbage and Trash Collection Department to remind the students to watch out for the garbage and trash being taught to them to love, worship, and adore. Poch Suzara
Poch Suzara

Our Sad Women

Our sad women do not even wonder why so many men they have sex with are so inept at satisfying them. Yet men are so competent at being selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane; not to mention violent and destructive. Does it seem natural? it is not. Men are made sick with sick values and sick beliefs as inspired by the teaching that God has gifted them with a Free will. Poch Suzara

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
