If the Son of God Jesus could not remove evil out of Israel, his place of birth, how could Jesus remove evil out of a foreign country like the Philippines? As a matter of historical fact, evil exist in the Philippines not only because of human stupidity, but mainly because of Christianity. Indeed, thanks to Christianity and its teachings, we Filipinos believe that there is a better world to come but only later after we are all well situated buried dead in the cemetery. Poch Suzara
In the Old Testament, God admits he is the source of evil: “I form light and create darkness, I make peace and create evil, I the Lord do all these things.” Isa. 45:7
I feel sorry for the religious morons of this world. When it comes to evil, the Lord is way ahead of man's stupid free will. Poch Suzara
Why something rather than nothing? Well, why a God and a devil existing alongside God? Both God and the devil keep reminding everyone that this something is really all about nothing because there is a better something to come in the next world after we are all dead and buried and gone to nothing! Poch Suzara
If God in heaven could not settle his troubles with the devil in hell, what makes you people believe that God can settle your troubles on earth? And who is the religious moron who threatened you to believe that God’s help is just a prayer away? Poch Suzara
A man who says: “if God does not exist, everything is permissible and nothing matters,” is a man who is greedy, selfish, rotten idiot who never bother to look at our troubled world with love and compassion. Poch Suzara
What do the believers and the fools share in good faith? They have been indoctrinated to belittle the power of reason. Thus, to readily embrace extra-terrestrial mendacity even at the expense of terrestrial veracity. Poch Suzara
“We can only serve our country by telling the naked truth, however bitter it may be.”
Well, I say, we can only serve our friends and relatives by not being hypocritical or intellectually dishonest towards each other. After all, we all have yet to discover the rare and simple truth, which is rare and never simple. Poch Suzara
God loves us not because of who we are, but because of who He is. Phil. Star Jan 7,2008
Gee God, as you are a God, how come you still allow the devil to exist? He sees to it that we continue to pray daily to you God to lead us not into temptation? Amen! Poch Suzara
“Lord, remember me when thou comest into they kingdom.” And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To this day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23: 42-43
Is it any wonder that ever since then, thieves have played major roles in the spread of the word of God? Golly, these days, they are even the owners and operators of world banks such as the Vatican Bank! Poch Suzara
"No request is to great or too small to bring to God. Phil Star
It looks like more political promises from the Lord. But the request from Jesus, His only begotten Son, was denied. On the cross, Jesus cried out loud: “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Matt 27:46.
My dear God, is it really that difficult for you to say what you mean and to mean what you say? For Christ’s sake, what are you a God for? Really God, when are you doing to stop this divine drama of yours that amuses no one except Satan – your partner in sin and in crime? Poch Suzara
“If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:14.
Treasures in heaven are laid up as treasures on earth are laid down. Phil Star, Dec. 13,2007
Oh God, again, that is not the issue. Forget that meaningless business of forgiving. Why not try, instead, something more meaningful: - get involved with us Filipinos, do a little evolving yourself, as a manifestation of your divine grace!
After all, yours is the power, kingdom, and the glory as written in the Old and in the New Testament!
We Filipinos have nothing except a corrupt and an inefficient government as guaranteed by a corrupt Constitution. Poch Suzara
Let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ. . . . stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. Philippians 1:27. Phil Star January 8/2008.
In the meantime, a man of faith is like a silly drunkard who clings to a lamppost for support, not illumination. Poch Suzara
Facing death with confidence comes from trusting Christ. Phil Star Jan 10,2008
Well, I ask: what about facing life with a sense of benevolence that comes from human intelligence?
In the meantime, it is truly incredible how we are all subject to birth, life, growth, death, and decay; except God and the devil - his partner in crime. Both supernatural beings exist happily and endlessly together. To think God never even gifted the devil with a Free Will. Poch Suzara
In the meantime, among the rich and famous and the powerful in America are the members of Congress. They do not work, work, and work for the American people; in fact, we the American people work, work, and work to help pay for their bills, bills, and bills. Poch Suzara
Of course it is not fair to blame God for hiding all the time. Always shying away from the trials and tribulations of man on this earth. After all, in heaven, God enjoys his title role the Prince of Darkness. Poch Suzara
Anger should be one of the greatest of virtues. Notice, however, in our system of education, we were never taught to get angry; especially at stupid religion that keeps the Filipino sick as a people and that keeps the Philippines sick as a nation. Poch Suzara
To think that Jesus was a Jewish Son of God, not a Filipino Son of God. And to think further that in this 21st century, Jesus remains as a minor character in the Jewish history of customs and tradition. Poch Suzara
The government officials of other Asian countries do not pray to God. Only the officials of the Philippine government do so daily. And yet, look at the way our government officials are inspired to keep the Filipino people believing that there is a better world to come, but only after we are all dead and buried.
In the meantime, since decades ago, Filipino workers have had better opportunities to enjoy a higher standard of living and thinking working in other non-Christian Asian countries. Poch Suzara
In this Catholic country of sin, crime, poverty, filth, and ill-gotten wealth, there is always something to be grateful for. As for me, I am grateful to the Son of God Jesus that I am no longer a Catholic. I am also grateful that Jesus was not born, raised, and educated as a Catholic in Israel – the land of His birth. Poch Suzara
During Judgment Day facing God almighty, this will be the nature of my defense: “God, you gifted me with 70 years of free will, but why did you also gifted the devil – your real enemy – not only free will but worst, you gave him centuries of free existence to freely do more evil than I could be free to imagine? Poch Suzara
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying: All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matt. 28: 18-20
In the last judgment, how would Jesus and his disciples explain to God their sad failure in converting Israel - the land of their own birth from the Jewish religious land into Christianity in general, or into Catholicism in particular? Poch Suzara
Jesus warned: “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.” Luke 14:26
Our unknown future is secure in the hands of our all-knowing God. Phil. Star Dec. 26, 2007
Since I did not exist in the infinite past, why and how could I exist in the infinite future? Life after death has always been a promise based upon a tall story. Mostly derived from silly theology – the study of nothing in order to have faith in nothing to keep the faithful under control for the glory of nothing. Poch Suzara
We still believe, like the religious morons still do believe, that in obeying, serving, supporting, and loving the Catholic Bishops, it is exactly the same thing as obeying, serving, supporting, and loving God. We are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia.
God himself never introduced Himself to us in person. It has always been the priesthood industry who taught us to fear and to have faith, especially blind faith in the existence of God.
In the meantime, where is God? Ask any Catholic Bishop. Since they themselves do not know, they will only threaten you with eternal damnation for asking such heretical questions. Poch SuzaraThe religious morons carry on with this life as if it were only a rehearsal for the better life to come after death.
Hey, wake up! This is it. This is the only life we have. This is the only world we have. There is nothing else but - the here and the now. There is no such thing as another life after we are dead. As a matter of fact, if nobody knows anything about life after birth, how could anybody know of anything about life after death? Poch SuzaraIn the Old Testament, the Lord says: “Come, let us reason together.” Isa. 1:18.
In the New Testament, however, the Lord abandons reason to impose bloody authority. “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.” Luke 19:27. Poch SuzaraMy dear reader, please take a serious look at the results of education cranked out yearly by Ateneo, La Salle, Letran, San Beda, Mapua, University of Santo Thomas, University of the Philippines, Marian college, Assumption college, Santa Escolastica, Asian Institute of Management, University of the East, Adamson University, etc.
Please consider the shady character of these college educated men and women as corrupt products of these prestigious universities. Elected or appointed or promoted as officials to manage the government of the Philippine, it has become nothing but a reflection of the politically tragic at its best, if not economically destructive at its worst.
And to think the politicians in our government share a common goal with the theologians in our Church: Both have high hopes of keeping the Filipino perpetually poor on the one hand, and keep the Filipino eternally ignorant on the other hand.
I rest my case. Poch SuzaraThe Catholic Vatican Bank today is worth more than a trillion dollars in cash deposits. And yet, De La Salle University President is asking for donations to support his Catholic students on scholarship. The One La Salle Scholarship Fund Campaign hopes to raise a billion pesos ($50 million dollars) by the year 2011. La Salle president Brother Luistro himself admits: “The majority of these young people would not even dare enter the halls of our schools because of financial inability.”
Poverty, squalor, and misery keep Christianity going. The ulterior purpose of the whole Christian system of salvation is to make people ill or troubled. Indeed, to put more decadence locally than to spread more intelligence regionally. Look at the Philippines as a backward and a corrupt nation – the only Christian country in all of Asia since the 16th century.
The problem is that we Filipinos only want stupid religion. We do not want intelligent science. We are in mortal fear of science as the one sermon of science is that all life eats other life, and that all life will die. We will never accept science until it transforms the Philippines into an earthly paradise. As long as we have poverty, squalor, and misery – we will never abandon Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and the saints and the other members of the holy trinity otherwise more known as Christianity.
And so, “lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth,… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth and rust doth corrupt, and were thieves break through and steal. Matt. 6:20.
I envy the dead. The dead can no longer be acquisitive, jealous, combative, erotic, indeed, can no longer be stupid and insane!
One day, like it or not, we too will eventually join the dead. I ardently hope, however, there is no next world, no hereafter managed by a silly divinity in cahoots with a silly deviltry to ruin again precious life for the sake of nothing, but infinite stupidity.
In the meantime, I ask: should we have more faith with the living dead in this world; or, have more faith with the dead living in the next world? Poch Suzara
It is often said that God loves the poor. He made so many of them. If this were true how come God never listens to the prayer of the poor? They are getting poorer. God, however, always listens to the prayer of the rich. They are getting richer!
Then again, if God loves the poor, how come he created a billion of them in China who are not even Christians, but who are now getting rich as a people and acquiring super power as a nation? Poch Suzara
Filipino motor vehicle drivers do not care for traffic rules. They are ignorant of such rules to begin with. A red light is merely a suggestion. It does not mean stop. A pedestrian lane exists only in fantasy, never a reality constructed in our city streets.
In the second encyclical of his papacy, Pope Benedict urges Christians to
put their hope for the future in God and not in technology, wealth or
political ideologies.
As an atheist, I say, if God exist and doing his job as a God, we should
have no need for technology, wealth or political ideologies. In fact, at this
point and time, with the guidance from an existing supernatural power
called God, mankind should already be living in peace, inhabiting
creatively and exploring productively the planets comprising the Solar
System.
The Pope also admitted: "Let us put it very simply: man needs God,
otherwise he remains without hope." I entirely agree. But then again, if
God is everywhere existing, why is there a need for religious crackpots to
play God? In the Philippines, he is usually referred to as the cardinal
with his bishops.
More than 90 per cent of the 1.9 million babies born yearly in the Philippines suffer from lack of hygiene, sanitation, and nutrition. The causes of mental retardation via brain damage. It is one reason why we are a nation of morons. The other reason comes from our schools, colleges, and universities. Such places of learning continue to teach such silly nonsense like Jewish God created the Filipino in His own image and likeness.
If you examine seriously the similarity between the Jews and Filipinos, you would clearly see there isn’t any. To begin with, the Jews are the chosen people of God. And what have we Filipinos got anything to do with Jewish history, culture, laws, religion, and tradition?
For Christ’s sake, if we Filipinos were to be guilty of the original sin, the least we should have first is our own original religion. Since the 16th century, we never had any except vague copies! Poch Suzara
A reader wrote explaining why we are the Sick Man of Asia. He concluded that it is because we Filipinos have not accepted the right religion for our country.
I replied: if there were such a business as the right religion, it is the right religion according to whom and to be determined by whom?
In the meantime, why bother to think when Christianity has already determined for us all the answers? What's the use of examining the facts when the Vatican keeps reminding the multitude about the pains of eternal punishment if we ever try to question its doctrines or if we try to seek the truth! And to think that these are the same religious morons who keep bragging that God is everywhere and who gifted man with a free will. Poch Suzara
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 SuzaraIn 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 SuzaraIf 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.
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
Now let’s ask: what’s wrong with believing what is false? Nothing wrong with it except that it is usually referred to as “blind faith” – the foundation and the promotion of superstition.
But then again: what’s wrong with believing in superstition? Nothing wrong with it except that superstition is precisely what makes the Philippines - the Sick Nation of Asia.
