Rotten Family Values
Thankful
Amidst the sin, crime, and corruption that make for our sick society, it is claimed that, nevertheless, we always have something to be thankful for. Indeed, we have. For my part, I am thankful that I am a Catholic no more!
No doubt, it is historically true, Magellan discovered the Philippines in 1521. It was because of Magellan that we Filipinos became Catholics. Today in the year 2007, almost 500 years later, we Filipinos have yet to discover too the Philippines, and to discover also why we are a nation of lunatics. Poch SuzaraOnly in the Philippines
In China, ordinary minds talk about people. Average minds talk about events. Great minds talk about ideas.
In the Philippines, what we have are sick minds – we only talk of how we should embrace the love of divinity up there by struggling against deviltry called sin down here. Hell, we do not even talk about love of our country and its future. We only talk about the better world to come after we are all dead, buried, and gone.

A Religious Moron Myself
I was once myself a religious moron. It was during kindergarten, grade school, and high school days. Confession every Friday. Mass and communion every Sunday. Prayers morning, noon, and night. I must have uttered more than a million times our school prayer: “Saint John Baptist De la Salle, pray for us. Leave Jesus in our hearts. Forever.”
I believed then with all of my heart and soul that God created man in his own image and likeness. Until I read a simple biological truth never revealed to me before. “Life is a sexually transmitted disease with a death rate of 100 per cent.”
Men of Faith
Men of faith do not want to know. Like misguided children, they only want to believe.
We Filipinos are men of faith. It means we have no faith in our country. In this 21st century, however, we still have faith that as our country grows darker, the promised return of the Son grows brighter.
Ignorance and fanaticism is perpetually busy and it needs feeding. All of our famous religious leaders – the Catholic bishops, Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement, Brother Eli Soriano of Ang Dating Daan, including my teachers at La Salle University during grade school and high school proved themselves experts with the works of the Lord feeding ignorance and fanaticism.

Another Great and Rare Filipino
Dear Poch,
I have long maintained that corruption in the Philippines is systemic.
A great majority of Filipinos (out of a total of around 88 million) are in the clutches of chronic and dehumanizing poverty.
Poverty and Corruption: that is a deadly combination.
Which explains why the Philippines has been drifting aimlessly all these terrible years since independence in 1946--that's a total of 61 years!--like a rudderless ship, tossed willy-nilly here and there by an angry sea.

A 21st century Rare Filipino
A 21st century rare Filipino Louie Fernandez wrote: “If the Filipino masses and our cowardly politicians were not like sheep to their priests and the Filipino Catholic hierarchy, and these intelligent priests were not mere mindless errand boys to the Vatican, this tragedy would not have happened.” I entirely agree without question.
Mayor Jojo Binay
Mayor Jojo Binay of Makati said that: “Our country is not only bankrupt economically, but also bankrupt morally.” Phil Star Oct. 17, 2007.
May I also add bankrupt biblically? Look how, in this 21st century, we continue to pray to a higher power to remedy the ills of our perpetually sick society?
We are, indeed, a corrupt people because of our corrupt faith in corrupt values and beliefs for the sake of the corrupt salvation of our corrupt souls.
To think corruption was brought into this land by corrupt Spanish friars, They too were gifted with corrupt free will from a corrupt country that was then ruled by a corrupt King.
Indeed, consider those corrupt Spanish religious criminals: they sold the Philippines to the United States of America, a nation just as greedy, selfish, stupid, insane, and indeed, just as corrupt, - for $20,000,000 dollars. Poch SuzaraTalk to God
If you talk to God, you are praying. If God talks to you, you are hallucinating. God talked to Moses. Golly, God even dictated the Ten Commandments to Moses. Oh well, that was during the biblical century.
In this 21st century, however, God talked to the President of the USA; and, to the President of the Philippines.

The Worst Kind of Poverty
Life After Death
Let’s be honest and frank. If there were evidences that there is a better world to come after we are dead, then suicide should one of the greatest of virtues, if not the greatest of man’s pleasures.
Imagine the planet earth, due to daily suicide, there would be no such thing as overpopulation, poverty problem, violence and wars. All babies would be born loved, needed, and wanted – the very foundation for peace on earth and goodwill to all men. Poch Suzara
