My Prayers

As a grade-school kid I used to pray often to the Lord with these words: “Lord, please straighten out the religious mess that is in cahoots with the superstitious mess that
is keeping the Filipino daily in a mess as a people and in a yearly mess as a nation.” This was decades ago. Today I am fully aware of the mess behind the power of prayer. Poch Suzara

Newspaper

A Newspaper is a public trust only if its publisher is never afraid to publish every side of the issue leading to the truth. If it only prints more of the same recycled lies – social lies, religious lies, economic lies, and political lies that keeps the reading public selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane, - then that newspaper is not a public trust, but a public distrust. Sadly however, to begin with, newspaper could not even exist without the revenues from ads which have nothing to do with the truth. Poch Suzara

God's Only Son

God’s only Son? What about God’s only Daughter? Or God’s only mother and father and grandmothers and grandfathers; or God’s only uncles and aunties, nephews and nieces and cousins? Indeed, what is so terrible about a God having his own family? Indeed, a divinity that is a great part of humanity just as much as humanity as a great part of divinity? Poch Suzara

Happy New What year

Man emerged on this planet more than a million years ago. The earth itself, according to science, is some 4.6 billion years old. The universe some 15 to 20 billion years old. The fact that we celebrate the New Year as something like it is only 2015 years old is sheer stupidity, if not a traditional sacred absurdity. Indeed, Christianity stole the whole calender mess based on nothing but older religious insanity in order to keep us frightened to support, maintain, and defend the wealth and power of Christianity.

The Filipino as a Christian

The Filipino is famous for being faithful as a Christian. He is, however, more famous as one who follows the teachings of Christ only in so far as they are not inconsistent with the life of sin against divinity and not incompatible with the life of crime against his own country. Indeed, in the Philippines, we all love God up there by hating one another down here. Poch Suzara

Most People

Most people love to believe in the fantasy of life after death. These are the same people who hate the reality of life before death. In this Christian country in Asia, we do not only look forward to a better life to come after death in the next world, but right after birth, we also look forward to a better life to come by migrating to earn of living in the next country to come.

Mother Nature

Each time a killer quake kills thousands of people, we do not blame God; instead, we blame Mother Nature. But if God were not that interested to remedy the mess from Mother Nature, the least that He could do is to inspire His Saints to take over to clean up the mess. But where are the saints? Why are they like God – hiding all the time away from the troubles of our world which is also their world? Maybe it’s true: this is not their world so why bother. Poch Suzara

Superstition

Superstition is notorious in its various forms. The most notorious form is called “Religion.” Fortunately, there are many religions; unfortunately, however, each religion is based upon revealed truths that are sacred as long as they remain unrevealed. Poch suzara

Why Something Rather Than Nothing

Why something rather than nothing? A better question to ask is: If God were a spirit, why is there only the material world which is something,and no spiritual world which is the nothing? Poch Suzara

The Atheistic God

God himself is an atheist. He does not believe in the existence of other Gods. Consider His first commandment: “Thou shall have no other Gods before me.” Really, where did those other Gods come from? Which God created those other Gods? Poch Suzara

The Limitation of Science

Science cannot give an answer to the question: “Why should we be good?” it is beyond the realm of science to deal with ethics. Only religion has the answer to that question. In fact, religion teaches man to be good; unfortunately, how to be good for nothing. Poch Suzara

Who or What Creator

Modern science, which is just about 400 years old, has examined and continues to examine the nature of creation. Science, however, cannot examine the creator and for a very simple reason: there isn’t any. Even religion, which is already thousands of years old – still has no clear idea as to who or what the creator is suppose to be. Is the creator a He? A She? Or just an It? Even the most brilliant of theologians do not know what an “All-Knowing” creator knows. Poch Suzara

Science is Honest

Science is honest enough to admit what it does not know. It proceeds with reason and observation. Religion is dishonest. It pretends to know what it does not know. Its mission has only to do with eternal salvation. For my part, I have no taste for rewards after my death. Instead, I love science. It has a much greater mission: to free mankind from superstition in all its forms, especially in the form of religion still stuck in the quagmire of its own concocted revelation. Poch Suzara

Nothing Versus Something

Science would never have understood the power of nature were it not for the power of reason and observation. Indeed, owing to the power of reason, science has been able to successfully observe the difference between what is natural, which is something, from what is supernatural, which is nothing. Poch Suzara

God Blames Man

God blames man for his fault; and in order to make the situation even more faulty, God decided to become a man. And to think that God had the bright idea of transforming himself into a Jew. The divine mission obviously failed in spite of the biblical declaration that the Jews are Chosen People of God. Poch Suzara

It's all a Game

Little boys and girls enjoy playing the game called “HIDE AND SEEK.” Mindless men and heartless women love to play the same game too. They call it “SEEK AND CAN FIND GOD.” Happily, most of these men and women now silently agree that God could no longer be found inside a Church or inside a Cathedral or inside a temple or even inside a synagogue. In fact, if God were already existing here, there, and everywhere, why waste seeking Him anywhere? Poch Suzara

The Infidel Jesus

The bible proves Jesus himself was an infidel. Tim 5:8 states clearly: “But if any of you provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” Well, in the same bible, Jesus admonished: “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.” Matt. 6:34. Poch Suzara

The Pope and God and World Peace

As a Catholic boy then I was most proud of the Pope who prayed daily to God for world peace. Today, an old man, I am not only ashamed of the Pope, I am even more ashamed of God. There is still no peace on earth or even goodwill to all men. Meantime, this week, civilized humanity from civilized countries have sent billions of dollars worth of food, clothing, and medicine to help the hundreds of thousands of poor victims who survived the Tsunami Disaster in South Asia recently. But the Pope offered only mass and prayer for the victims. No wonder even priests and nuns are walking out disgusted with the Catholic hierarchy. In the meantime, I ask: Is it possible that there is no peace on earth because so many billions of people embrace conflicting religious beliefs that have more to do with hate this world and to look forward only to a better life to come after death in the next worth? Poch Suzara

The Failure of prayer

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” James 5:16. The same bible, however, also admits: “There is none righteous, no, not one.” Rom. 3:10. And to think that we Filipinos have not ceased praying to God to “give us this day our daily bread and to lead us not into temptation.” Poch Suzara

Only God Can Make a Tree

“A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” Matt. 7:18. And to think that only God can make a tree.
