Our Historical Trouble

Our historical trouble is that we have not prayed hard enough? We have not prayed daily enough, weekly enough, monthly enough, yearly enough, and centuries enough? We need to pray more? Let us be more active and consistent with our prayers? In fact, our parents, grandparents, great grandparents did not pray as much they should have prayed?

If we could only devote more time, more energy, more resources, more ways and more means, and indeed devote more faith in the power of prayer, then and only then will God provide. In the meantime, we Filipinos continue to be famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Our System of Education

In our schools, colleges, and universities are teachers and professors who have proven themselves incapable of deeper learning.

Indeed, under our system of education, the search of the truth is a considered something of a sacred confusion, or a holy delusion. Not a matter of, or for, - social, political, or economic reconstruction. Poch Suzara

Our Sick Society

We do not struggle with sin and grime. We struggle with suffering and crime. Our Fall have nothing to do with Original sin. Our spiritual poverty as a people and moral bankruptcy as a nation have only to do with Christianity – a religion founded on lies, deception, and mendacity. Look how Catholic schools, colleges and universities continue to be in the business of frightening Catholic students to believe that love of God is far more beneficial than love of country or love of fellow-citizens.Poch Suzara

Silly and Childish

If we hope to remedy the ills of our sick society the first thing we must do is to discard the habit of silly prayers. Then and only then can we begin to grow as a people and develop as a nation.Otherwise, praying for the Second Coming of the Lord to straighten out the mess of our sick society has always been a sick biblical joke.Poch Suzara

Quezonian Prophecy

I prefer a government run like hell by Filipinos, to a government run like heaven by Americans” declared President Manuel Quezon decades ago. As if it made any difference to the millions of the losers and the failures living under sub-human conditions in this God-forsaken country! Poch Suzara

Why Bother as We are Sick Man

All the social improvements, economic progress, political developments, and religious miracles; not to mention the lies and deception and delusions and other historical confusions happening daily to Filipinos in the Philippines are considered blessings from God from heaven. It only proves one thing: - we are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia!

But then again, why should we Filipinos bother to grow as a people and to mature as
a nation since we have been educated to believe that God will provide for us; if not Jesus, the son of God, will soon return to remedy the ills of our sick society. Poch Suzara

God's Love

If God does not love the Jews, His chosen people, why should God love the Filipinos, His Christian people? The difference between a Christian and a Jew is that the former is a lunatic, the latter idiotic. But then again what can be expected of a creator who, at the same time, has always been both diabolic and angelic? Ah, let’s not ignore the Muslim – bombastic, drastic, and fanatic! Poch Suzara

Our World

Our world will be destroyed not by science but by religion. Even the wild animals whom no one can accuse of being Muslims or Christians or Jews will be destroyed. Such is the power of madness - the gift from the gods. As to why the gods are mad at our world - your opinon is just as stupid as everyone elses. Poch Suzara

Only in the Philippines

I want to be a doctor when I grow up so I can be a nurse. I want to be a librarian when I grow up. I don’t have to read books. I Just need to put them in shelves or pull them out of shelves and get wages for my intellectual work.” Poch Suzara

Prayer Works

Prayer works. But only for Catholics. Ask Erap. He prayed to God for pardon. Our Catholic president GMA with God's approval pardoned ex-president Erap for his crimes against the Republic of the Philippines.Too bad Adam and Eve were not Catholics. Nobody told them about the power of prayer. The original Sin need not have given birth to Catholicism. Poch Suzara

Free Will

Free will - God’s greatest gift to man. But if you have the free will to be a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim¸ then there is either something wrong with God or something wrong with free will. For my part, I’d rather have good will and wish the Christian and the Jews and the Muslim to stop hating and stop killing each other so we can all helped establish peace on earth and goodwill to all men. To count on God for the creation of world peace and sanity has always proved foolish. Poch Suzara

The Customer

The customer is always right. Not, however, according to God with Adam and Eve. They were not only wrong, but humiliated also, stripped off their dignity and self-respect as God’s first customers. Poch Suzara

My Kind of Prayer

“God give us all we need so that we can give those in need.” Deut. 15:7-11.
Here is my kind of prayer: “God, never mind giving to me. Just give to them. After all, yours is the power, the kingdom, and the glory. Lord, I have nothing and nothing is more than enough for me! Poch Suzara

Cycle of Life

A man gives love in order to get sex. A woman gives sex in order to get love. In either case, the result is a child born and raised and taught to believe not in the biological union between a male sperm and a female egg, but only to believe what the religious morons have been teaching for centuries - that God made man in his own image and likeness. Poch Suzara

Right or Wrong

Perhaps, no one is right or wrong. Each is simply on a different level of consciousness. Unfortunately, most people have not been educated enough to expand or to increase their level of consciousness. They have only been indoctrinated to carry on in life by being thoughtless, if not mindless. Poch Suzara

Fear

As fear become rampant people turn to God. Unfortunately, there is an increasing sense even among the religious morons themselves that the word GOD now rings with a hollow emptiness. At any rate, it is good to know that most Christians are beginning to wake up to the fact that Christianity came into being first and foremost as a death-conquering religion. Sadly, however, achieved with sacred lies and other biblical promises. Such that death is not the end of life, but the beginning of a new chapter in life.

Now modern physicists have scientifically dissolved into nothing the materiality of matter. A body, in our case the human body is, in the ultimate analysis, nothing but a system of bundled energy – a thing that can never be created or destroyed. Poch Suzara

Most Men

Most men love to play the game of cards, balls, clubs, rackets, boards, suits, sticks, wheels, rods, bows and arrows and guns.

With me, the mental freak that I am, rightly or wrongly, I only love to play with ideas. Ideas, no doubt, have tremendously encouraged me to examine my own life as I found it worth living.

The love of playing with ideas seemed more glorious, incomparably, than the lust of the ways of the flesh and the dross of the world. For my part, I hardly wanted millions. I only wanted answers to my questions! “Seek ye first the good things of the mind,” Bacon admonishes us, “and the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt.” For me, mental health is the best kind of wealth. Poch Suzara

It is Understandable

It is understandable why Jesus never lived in a happy home and never enjoyed love and affection from either of his parents during his upbringing. After all, his father never married his mother.

Jesus said, and I could hardly blame him: “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Poch Suzara

What's Evil about our Government

What’s evil about our government? The high officials! They seek nothing except wealth, power, and glory for themselves. When they do, however, achieve “success in life,” they only continue to be selfish, greedy, stupid, insecure and socially insane.

What our country needs now is not only love and the greater knowledge about the nature of love, in all its complexity, especially what it really means to love a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Poch Suzara

More On Death

Here’s Bertrand Russell – my intellectual father. Russell wrote about his own death. He inspired in me fearlessly, if not with equanimity, to face my own death one day: “I believe when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive. I am not young, and I love life. But I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting.” Poch Suzara
