Separation of Church and Scientific Knowledge

The mind grows healthy with scientific knowledge. Superstition only destroys the mind with fear and ignorance. Superstition therefore is an evil. There should be no room for superstition to exist alongside knowledge as superstition is an evil. It’s the same with the Church. There should be no room for the Church to exist alongside the State. The church is an evil: it not only divides with hate but also keeps people poor, backward, and indeed, un-enlightened, if not frightened. Poch Suzara

The Clash of Civilization

Samuel Huntington wrote: “The Clash of Civilization.” It would have been more accurate had he titled his book “The Clash of Human Ignorance,” or “The Clash of Religious hypocrisy.” Or, “The Clash of the Arms Industries.” Or, “The Clash of Nations under Conflict with American Corporations.” Poch Suzara

Demons and Angels

The only demons that exist are those that lurk inside the reptilian side of the brain: ignorance, hatred, insanity, and faith in divinity. The only angels that exist are those that are inside the mammalian side of the brain: reason, intellectual honesty, love, and indeed, faith in the human capacity. Poch Suzara

Pacificism

Pacificism worked well in India under the atheistic British rule. And yet pacificism failed to work for the non-violent Jews under the theistic Nazis in Germany. It is, I think, the result of what happens when religious morons or “God is with us” gang stands
to defend the works of the Lord as Hitler wrote in his Mein Kampf Poch Suzara

Government Officials

American government officials are exactly like the Philippine government officials: they are installed not by civil service eligibility or by examination, but by fraudulent or worse, by financial arrangement, if not by powerful political connection. It is all about the American style of freedom and democracy in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

The Futility of Coming of Christ

If the Almighty God were omni-present and therefore already present here, already established there, and already situated everywhere on this earth, what’s the purpose of the First Coming and the Second Coming of Christ? Poch Suzara

Jesus Failed as a Prophet

“For I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Matt. 10:34. “For all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” Matt. 26:52. Obviously Jesus failed at his own prophecy. He did not die by the sword. He was crucified on the cross. And crucified by men created in the image and likeness of His Father God. Poch Suzara

Words from Jesus

If Jesus had only enjoyed the comfort of a happy home life with his mom and dad and brothers and sisters, he need not have uttered such meaningless words like: I and my Father are one. John 10:30. I go unto my father: for my father is greater than I. John 14:28. But then again, Jesus was a failure. He failed to ask Man to forgive God for He does not appreciate love and affection within the human family on this earth. Poch Suzara

Shocked

We were all shocked when we saw what the terrorists did to the World Trade Center Twin Towers on 9/11 in New York. But only the few cared to find out what inspired the terrorists to do such a thing. Ah, but how many people are sane enough to realize that we actually live in an insane world as inspired by insane religious businessmen in cahoots with insane politics who continue to inspire the production of weapons for war? Poch Suzara

Progress of Ideas

Unless it is a progress of ideas, progress is destructive. The Entropy Law sees to that: each time order is created, the consequence is eventual disorder. Examples of pollution, of extinct animal species, of eroded landscape – in short – of exhausted resources – are evidences of progress not of ideas, but progress of human stupidity. Poch Suzara

For Christ's Sake

More than six million people, mostly Jews, but also gypsies, political opponents, homosexuals, prisoners of war, and freedom fighters were gassed to death inside crematoriums build throughout Germany generated with the power of faith. In his MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler wrote: “I believe I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jews, I am fighting for the works of
the Lord.” Poch Suzara

Bible Lies

The truth has only one version. Lies have many. Thus, there are 57 different versions of the holy Bible for sale in bookstores today. But there is only one Multiplication Table – the perfect model of truth – free from ignorance and contradictions. In fact, 2 plus 2 equals 4 as a perfect model of truth is not even mentioned in any of the conflicting chapters of the silly bible. In the meantime, here are examples of lies written in the Bible: “I have seen God face to face.” Gen. 32:30. “No man has seen God at any time.” John 1:18. As a matter of fact, what does it really matter whether one has seen God or has not seen God? What will it chang? How will the existence of God make this world a better place to live in? In fact, the existence of God is totally irrelevant, completely useless, if not shamelessly worthless to human affairs. Poch Suzara

The Filipino People

If a people believe that God will always provide; if they believe that Christ will soon return with his Mother of Perpetual Help; if they believe that there is power in prayer behind the coming Savior; and that this life is nothing as compared to the next life in the next world to come with God in heaven - such people can best be described as the Filipino – the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Corruption in the Philippines

Corruption is here, there, and everywhere in the Philippines. It is just like the existence of God present here, present there, and present everywhere. Look, however, at the priesthood industry also omniscient in the Philippines. How they love to support and maintain corruption. Corruption inspires everybody to seek God’s forgiveness of sin and pardon of crime that continue to benefit the priesthood industry. In the meantime, take a look at their already mind-boggling wealth deposited in the Vatican Bank. Poch Suzara

We Love only God Up There

Look at how we all love God up there, by hating one another down here. Consider how in this only Catholic country in Asia we Filipinos have no trust in God. Well, I said it before, I say it again: As soon as God-fearing security guards need no longer be employed to assist our God-fearing policemen to help secure and protect the wealth of our God-fearing church officials and their God-fearing partners in commerce and their God-fearing associates; not to mention our God-fearing government buildings, hospitals, banks, schools, colleges, universities, shopping malls, commercial and residential buildings, expensive residential villages, movie theaters, restaurants, churches, and cathedrals, public parks, museums, including the building of the National Bureau of Investigation - I believe we can begin to trust God in this only Catholic country in Asia. Poch Suzara

Pope John Paul 11

Pope John Paul 11 fell ill and immediately rushed to the hospital to take advantage of the power of medical science. Nobody, however, thought of rushing the Head of the Catholic Church to a Cathedral to take advantage of the power of prayer. Poch Suzara

Silly Sinners

Silly sinners have yet to grasp the real nature of the Revealed Truth that has yet to be revealed: - behind the Original Sin was the powerful Original Creator. Poch Suzara

Bible Readers

Bible readers have yet to find existing somewhere in this world the living Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil mentioned in the bible? Perhaps that same Tree of knowledge can tell us where exactly may we also find living today the Talking Burning Bush and Talking Serpent and Talking Donkey mentioned in the bible. Poch Suzara

A Deadly World

What can one expect of a world where half of its population believe in Allah, and the other half believe in God? And the rest who do not believe in either God or Allah, believe nevertheless in some other kind of superstitious nonsense. Bertrand Russell, In his The Prospect of Industrial Civilization, wrote it quite clearly: “Governors of the world believe, and have always believe, that virtue can only be taught by teaching falsehood, and that any man who knew the truth would be wicked. I disbelieve this, absolutely and entirely. I believe that the love of the truth is the basis of all real virtue, and that virtues based upon lies can only do harm.” Poch Suzara

Free Will Not So Free

Is it true that God gifted man with a free will because God does not want man to be like robots? If, however, men were free to choose between good and evil how come the Arabs have the free will to be Muslims, the Americans have the free will to be Christians, and the Jews have the free will to be Jewish? Are we to believe that God also has not only the free will but also the free thrill to enjoy watching the Jews and the Christians and the Muslims freely hate and freely kill each other in his name and for his glory? In the meantime, what has free will got to do with the freedom OF religion? It seems to me free will has more to do with the freedom FROM religion. Poch Suzara
