Dear Ms. Patricia Anne Cortez

Dear Editor, I Enjoyed reading the letter of Ms. Patricia Anne Cortez published in MANILA STANDARD TODAY. She is totally right about the value of education. It is, indeed, the best way to deal with our growing population. I should think, however, that the first education should be purely negative. It should consist not in the teachings religious lies and other sacred falsehoods; on the contrary, education should be about developing the mind from error and cultivating the heart from vice. In the meantime, the Church could not care less about the quality of life. For the sake of saving souls, what’s essential to the Church is the quantity of life. The more souls there are to be saved, the business is better for the Church. Thus, the evils of family planning and birth control practice – the only way the Church stays in business for wealth, power, and glory. Yes, abortion is evil. Besides, it is no thrill to kill a baby inside the mother’s womb. It’s called murder; and murder is a crime. What’s more thrilling, however, is to let the babies be conceived, let them be born, let them grow up a bit, give them a fighting chance, and then kill them. Kill them with malnutrition, filthy surroundings, parental neglect, diseases, or asphyxia from vehicular soot and lead. Indeed, many of the nation’s poor children play, trade, sell, eat and sleep, pee and poo, and God knows what else they do – in the streets of our major cities. What’s our purpose in being so overly concerned with babies not yet existing, and at the same time be stupidly apathetic with children already existing but also already dying? Isn’t this the height of religious hypocrisy? If we do not abandon our children in the streets, we abandon them in school. There, for the most part, they are taught not how to stand up to needs of the human race, but only how to kneel down to divine grace. How to seek a life of piety by ignoring knowledge and wisdom that should help carry on a decent and a healthy society. Indeed, for the most part, they only learn how to love divine grace by hating the human race. Sincerely, Poch Suzara Bertrand Russell Society, Phil P.O. Box 3036, Makati City c.c.

The Holy Bullcrap as Revealed Truth in the holy Bible

"The Bible is the Christian's blueprint for life." Phil Star, May 9 2014. I said it before, I say it again: If the Christians would only bother to read fearlessly the bible from cover to cover, then Christianity would have died centuries ago. Please check for yourselves bible contents as the most damnatory biography of God in print everywhere. Too bad the Son of God Jesus has not yet made His Second Coming to make the necessary corrections the inspired authors recklessly wrote in the bible. For one thing the bible is filled with contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, vulgarities, obscenities, and atrocities. Take a look at a few verses, then take a closer look around you: Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. Luke 9:1 Verily, say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed… nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matt. 17:20 Neither of these religious primitives were kind enough to share with the world their secret on how to cure diseases, like a Dr. Jonas Salk for example. He virtually wiped out leprosy in children the world over with his anti-polio vaccine. Jesus himself cured leprosy but only during his lifetime and only in his community. Leprosy is still a disease in our world today. What kind of silly doctors were these people considering they had so-called supernatural assistance? The least Jesus could have done was to make not diseases, but health contagious for every man, woman, and child everywhere in the world. "And Jesus Christ said to them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God come with power." Mark 9:1 In front row of course will be the Filipinos who have enrolled in bible studies in the Philippines such as the ones given endlessly on TV by Bro. El Soriano of Dating Daan - a bible preacher who never knows what in hell he is talking about. The bible says: “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” James 5:16. Unfortunately, the same bible also admits: “There is none righteous, no, not one.” Rom. 3:10 Now it is claimed that we must only attend bible study and not read the bible by ourselves? As if the bible were the private word of inspired authors; and not the public word of God for everyone. Please read: Luke 14:33 , Luke 19:27, Luke 14:26, Matt 10:34-37, Matt. 8:21-22, Matt 19:29, Mark 10:20-30, Mark 13:12, Luke 12:51-53 And then please explain how Jesus could be such a lovable character? Such a Savior? On the one hand, Jesus said: “Blessed are the Peacemakers.” Then He comes around proudly proclaiming that: “I came not to bring peace, but a sword, and to set families against themselves.” And there is more. Much more to prove that the bible in fact is not the word of divinity; it is not even the word of deviltry - but the word of frightened superstitious primitives soaked with too much infantile stupidity inextricably mixed with religious insanity.

Silly Believers

Silly believers believe that I am very silly man because I do not believe in the existence of their God. Indeed, these silly believers have been schooled to fear God and to fear the unknown including the mysteries. It’s the main reason why silly believers are mindless, if not heartless - living a life that is not only meaningless, not only aimless, but for this earth I dare say, - even purposeless. Poch Suzara

If Atheism were a Religion

If atheism were a religion, then health is a disease. Consider the 138 billion hours a year spent on prayers, and God has yet to cure the pimples on the faces of teen-age boys and girls. In fact, atheism has no belief system. It is not what I do believe; on the contrary, atheism is what you do not believe. Poch Suzara

How Reliable

How reliable are such proofs of the story of Jesus’ miraculous birth, or the report of his miracles making the blind see, the deft hear, the lame walk, cured leprosy, changed water into wine, or even to raise the dead back to life? Where are the support of the facts that Jesus was even an historical person? Indeed, if Jesus was real person, why didn’t the ancient Jews know of him? All ancient Jewish literature yields no evidence of any historical Jesus. In fact, the ancient Jews never even heard of the town of Nazareth. Poch Suzara

God’s First Command

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Who created those gods? Where in hell did they come from? Why were they other Gods existing to begin with? Poch Suzara

The Statue of Liberty

These are the great words inscribed at the base of the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breath free air, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” Great words indeed; except for the poor and homeless American Indians – the unfinished business of the United States government since more than 200 years ago. Poch Suzara

Happy Filipino Society

There exist far more private Security Guards doing their job at protecting assets and properties of banks, stores, hospitals, clinics, schools, resorts, movie theaters, tv and radio stations, commercial enterprises and residential villages in our country than there are Policemen and NBI agents combined doing their job at protecting the lives of millions of Catholics in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

Under these horrors, the morons at CNN, Philippines, say that the Filipinos are a happy people. Indeed, the media, whether local or foreign are more in tune with programs that are marketable - what will sell, not what is true. In other words, entertainment first; never mind truthful information or a healthy system of education, or for that matter - never mind  law and order, health and sanitation in our poor and country. Poch Suzara

What does it really Matter

What does it really matter if people do believe or disbelieve in God? Look at the more than 100,000,000,000 people who already lived and died on this earth. God never gave a hoot whether those people died rich or poor; died young or old; died sane or insane; or, hated and killed each other in wars declared in His name on earth or for His glory in heaven! Poch Suzara

What God decides

If it were true that what God decides to do with the souls of men were none of man’s business, then where is man’s precious free will to decide anything of value or importance for himself? Poch Suzara

It is Incredible

It is incredible, indeed, how God is suppose to be present here, always present there, and always present everywhere and yet, nobody has yet seen God anywhere. Moreover, if it is true that God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent why did we have to build monuments to human stupidity otherwise known as churches and cathedrals? Poch Suzara

A Filipino Saint

After 500 years of Christianity, no Filipino has yet achieved sainthood for doing God’s work in Philippine soil. But we do have a Lorenzo Ruiz canonized recently as a saint for doing God’s work in Japan some 200 years ago. He was executed by the Japanese authority for doing God’s work in Japan. And to think that up to today the Japanese still do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Poch Suzara

World Peace

As long as there is to be made hugh profits in the manufacturing, selling, trading, importing or exporting of weapons from the arms industry by governments to settle disputes between nations - peace on earth and goodwill to all men will never become a reality. Not in a million years. Indeed, if you want war, prepare for war! However, if you want peace, prepare for peace! Poch Suzara

Philippine Democracy

After more than 60 years of democracy in this country, we have yet to lessen its vices, and bring out its natural advantages. We have already perceived the evils of democracy, yet we are still ignorant of the larger benefits it may bring. How has this been impossible? Very easy! On top of our democracy has always been a theocracy. On top of our politicians are the theologians with the wealth, power, and glory to determine who amongst our stupid politicians will go to heaven and who will end up in Purgatory. Imagine men and women of this country, with college education, in this 21st century, still believing the claims of ancient superstition from the religious morons. Poch Suzara

It’s a Good Thing

It’s a good thing God failed to break His own record at Tsunami Disaster in South Asia last December, 2004. After all, more people were drowned throughout the world during Noah’s Flood according to the bible. And to think that millions of innocent men, women, and children gifted with a free will from God had no free choice to escape away from the mass extinction by drowning. Poch Suzara

The Apostle Paul

The apostle Paul’s dictum: “Servant, be obedient to your master.” In the Philippines, in order to avoid eternal punishment in hell, we must be obedient to our master - the men of the priesthood industry. For God’s sake, even the average Filipina with an average intelligence must cater to, if not always obey, the pronouncements of the silly priests still in control of this only Christian country in Asia. Poch Suzara

One Nation Under God

America encompasses every religious group in the world including Buddhists, Shintoists, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Confucians, Lutherans, Baptists, Catholics and others. In fact, there are over 1,350 denominations and sects. If America were one nation under God, which God? Poch Suzara

Why do I remain an atheist

If I were to take seriously the believers of God’s existence, they must elucidate, not only what they claim to know, but explain exactly how they arrived at their knowledge. If they did not acquire knowledge through their senses, by what other means, if any, did they acquire it? The burden of explanation lies with them. If they uphold their beliefs in the absence of rational grounds, then they are dogmatists, not atheists. We atheists do not care to believe, but we want to know. If explanations are not forthcoming, as an atheist I will remain an atheist proud of the ultimate of freedom: the freedom of thought. Meanwhile, the goal of atheism is to promote precisely that ultimate freedom of honest thinking. Poch Suzara

Laws in the Philippines

There are two separate laws in the Philippines: the law of God and the law of man. Even Filipino lawyers believe that the law of man should be under the law of God. And to think these brilliant lawyers have been highly trained in law school to be experts in the art of cross examination. Poch Suzara

Jesus and Jose Rizal and the Sick Man of Asia

In the Philippines Lenten Season is that time of the year when the faithful multitudes are not allowed to eat meat on Fridays. What is encouraged, if not inspired however, is to live like pigs, behave like chickens, and to think like cows during the rest of the year.

After all, The Lent season (40 days) is the preparation with prayers and fasting for the commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus in a foreign land some 2,000 years ago.

Well, the Christmas season in the Philippines is that time of the year (5 months, from October to December to January of the New Year as the colorful celebration of the birth of Christ.

As for our national hero Jose Rizal, only a handful Filipino intellectuals celebrate his birth anniversary June 19, 1861 with sincere nationalism, and commemorate his death anniversary December 30, 1896 with much horrors in thought against Catholicism - the killer of our national hero.

In the ultimate analysis, millions upon millions of Filipinos - the Jesus-freaks of this only Catholic country in Asia deny vehemently that they are NOT among the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara
