Adolf Hitler

Hitler was an insane victim of his own heroes – such heroes like the German philosopher Nietzsche who wrote about the super race of men to rule the world.
In the world of philosophy, Nietzsche was a disgrace, not a grace. He believed not in world peace through love, but in world war through hate. Too bad war has never, as yet, solved anything except the motivation for the declaration of a next war.
If you want peace, prepare for war? On the contrary, if you want peace, prepare for peace! Poch Suzara

As an Atheist

As an atheist I have no interest in the system of reward or punishment. I am happy enough living my life without any sense of heaven as a place of reward or hell as a place of punishment. My sense of morality has nothing to do with pleasing divine grace. I am more interested with the growth and maturity via common decency of the human race. Poch Suzara

Happiness

If happiness depends upon the power of thought, then I dare say that most people suffer from unhappiness. Especially as they are consistently thoughtless, if not perpetually mindless, not to mention perennially heartless. Poch Suzara

Jesus in Our Hearts

In grade school, high school, and in college at De la Salle University nothing was put into our hearts except the love for Jesus who preached: - “love not this world, neither the things that are in the world.” It explains why we do not love our country, and why, indeed, we are a nation of failures and losers still believing and waiting for the Second Coming of the Lord. Poch Suzara

Poor Filipino People

How could we Filipinos ever mature as a people and develop as a nation when we have been taught to believe that there is a better country to go to after birth, and that there is a better world to come after death? Indeed, what can be expected of a people enjoying only the freedom of Christianity, by Christianity, and for Christianity? Poch Suzara

Holy Books

One may know all the messages written in the bible, or the Quran, or in the Talmud, but continue to remain shamelessly ignorant of science and the scientific way of thinking. After all, what exactly do sacred writings have anything to do with the growth and maturity of the human mind and heart that’s so much needed to straighten the mess out of this God-forsaken world due to stupid religion? Poch Suzara

I love Bertrand Russell

I love Bertrand Russell not for turning mathematics upside-down and logic inside-out, but for never threatening me with punishment in hell-fire if I did not agree with any of his writings. In fact, Russell encouraged me to disagree with him and to think for myself; especially in the task of seeking the truth as no one, as Russell himself admitted, has as yet found the truth.

Russell wrote: All human knowledge is uncertain, inexact, and partial. I disagree and ask: what’s so uncertain, inexact, and partial about the truth that we are all born troubled, sick, and dying? Indeed, except for Melchisedec in the bible, there is no such thing as health. There has never been any one who lived anywhere on this planet who enjoyed everlasting  lasting health! Poch Suzara

Our Troubled Selves

There is the good side and the bad side in everything; except in religion - there is only the bad side. Religion damages the minds and hearts of children to grow up with so much fear and deep in ignorance to be unable to help remedy the world so full of hatred that grows out of fear.
Consider this painful fact: whether rich or poor, each and every one of us are born troubled. Indeed, as soon as we are born, we begin to die. There is no such thing as health. Health is a myth. In the meantime, if religion were to have its good side, it must be in the business of alleviating these horrors not with faith in human stupidity, but simply by facing and changing reality. After all, reality is malleable; not inscrutable. The science of medicine in this respect has achieved wonders! Poch Suzara

Believe It or Not

If you wish to set up a Foundation and have it registered with the government office in the Philippines known as THE SECURITY AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, you must first submit a letter of appointment from any of Catholic Bishops of the Philippines. The Foundation must start with a basic worth of ONE MILLION PESOS. For my part, I do not believe it. What I do believe, however, is that there is no such creature called the Separation between Church and State in the Philippines. In fact, both the Church and State have been having an illicit affair together and they have begotten millions of poor and bastard children. They are known as the Filipino people – the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Jesus, the Pinoy

Jesus was crucified dead on the cross to destroy the devil. The devil, however, is still alive and doing actively well. Jesus must have been a Pinoy. Puro drama.
In the meantime, it is incredible to believe how millions of Pinoys never find it strange that in order to be a friend of God we must first declare ourselves as an enemy of fellow-Filipinos and that we must hate to work for the welfare of our own country. Poch Suzara

Animals

We are all born unbelievers, not believers. We are turned into frightened believers by indoctrination. To think that animals are born animals and no one in the animal kingdom would hate or kill other animals for the glory of God in heaven. Only the frightened human believers do hate and kill each other; specially if what nobody believes what everybody else have been threatened to believe. Poch Suzara

The Biological Fact

The biological fact is the day we are born is the day we begin to die. Birth, growth, death, and decay amount to the same realty. Indeed, each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it. In the ultimate analysis, however, there is no such thing as health because even in health we are already dying, aren’t we? It is all a question of time. Today, it is me. Tomorrow, it is you. In the meantime, what is, say, 70 or 80 years of human life on this earth compared to a powerful God already existing for some, say, 80,000,000,000 years of life out there in the universe? In fact, how could we offend such a God whose existence, we are told, has no beginning and no end? Poch Suzara

Why Something

Why is there something rather than nothing? But then again, why is God a nothing? Hardly a something? What is God? Where is God? How come God is always omni-absent, never omni-present? How come God is always invisible? What is so great and supernatural about a God always hiding mysteriously far away from everybody’s sense of sight or sense of touch? Hello! Poch Suzara

Religion Against Religions

Have you ever heard of atheist who hated and killed another atheist for not believing in God?
What about you religious morons? When will you wake up to stop hating and killing each other in God’s name and for his glory in heaven, or in Allah’s name for his glory in paradise?
Look at the Dark Ages of our world. It is mostly about Catholics against Protestants. Protestants against Protestants. Christians against Muslims. Muslims against the Jews and Christians against each other.
Is God really that cold-blooded in perfection, lost in self-admiration, always hungry for scenes that have mostly to do with death and destruction? Whatever happened to the beauty of renovation, or the art of reconstruction? Poch Suzara

The United States Government

The United States government would rather be wasting TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS on stupid wars against other countries than be spending monies on medical science research to find the cure of terminal diseases such as malignant brain cancer. Another even far more dreadful disease terrorizing America itself and other nations of the world is called – RELIGION. Poch Suzara

Chronic Boredom

Boredom is a chronic disease of the rich, not the poor. Chronic boredom stays with the rich round the clock. It smothers enthusiasm, impoverishes the imagination, saps personal energy, and inspires fear of new and fresh ideas. Most rich people would admit that they are bored; but never would they ever admit that they are boring. Indeed, rich people are always bored to death though they are always looking for excitement to help them prevent the necessity of thought.
In the meantime, economics is a scam to confuse and to take advantage of the poor for cheap labor. If the economists knew exactly what they are talking about, they would have been wiped poverty out of this world centuries ago. Poch Suzara

Free Choice

In the free choice to choose between thoughtless belief or thoughtful unbelief, without hesitation, I choose thoughtful unbelief. Sooner or later, for the sake of higher learning, we must abandon faith, especially in not wanting to know what is true. Poch Suzara

Christ Experienced

I am told that Christ is best experienced, not explained. Well, that's fine and dandy. But we should experience Christ as a member of which church? Baptist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Adventist, Methodist, Unitarian, Presbyterian, Anglican, Episcopalian, Mormon, Catholic, Iglesia ni Cristo, El Shaddai, Jesus is Lord Fellowship?
To think even Christ himself never experienced anything inside a Christian “church.” He did, however, explained himself why he was more at home inside a Jewish “synagogue.”
Christianity is the venereal disease of the Pinoys. Christianity is what makes the Filipino the Sick Man of Asia. Look how in this 21st century, we continue to love Jesus up there by hating fellow-Filipinos down here. Poch Suzara

Blind Faith versus Bright Reason

Faith continues to be popular because, like “humility,” it makes a virtue out of lazy mentality which is really a euphemism for ecclesiastical stupidity. Blind faith makes us see only 2 sides of every coin. I’d rather enjoy clear-eyed reason. It is more creative and expansive: it makes me see the 7 sides of every coin: left and right, top and bottom, back and front, and the middle side. In the meantime, to advocate that a belief be accepted without the scrutiny of reason is to advocate that a belief be accepted without thought and without verification. Poch Suzara

Born in the Flesh

“That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of spirit is spirit.” Gospel of John 3:6.
In the meantime, it is, indeed, anybody’s guess how many children in our sick society owe their existence to the spirit of vanity, sadism, and masochism, rather than to the flesh of love or genuine physical attraction. Most men, however, prefer to think that they are libidinous or oversexed in the flesh rather than believe that they are vicious, lascivious, or, in the spirit, - idiotically salacious. Poch Suzara

Yesterday

“It is dangerous presumption to say, “tomorrow,” when God says, “today!” Philippine Star April 30, 2008
If there is a God, I ask: “Where were you yesterday?”
In the meantime, I am asked what best describes my belief? Well, I am an atheist. We atheists have no belief system. Even in the beauty of questioning everything, we atheists have no system in doing so. We just question everything including the way we think. Poch Suzara

College Educated Friends

Most of my college educated friends and relatives are into twaddle or drivel on the one hand; and, religious hokum or political bunkum, on the other hand. For my part, I am happy and proud of myself expelled out of high school for asking my teachers endless questions. Poch Suzara

War on Poverty

The war on poverty can never be won. To begin with, the world economists themselves do not exactly know what in hell they are talking about. For example – economic growth? According to whom, by whom, for whom, and with whom? Hardly would they also seriously look into the Entropy Law: it shows that the more the economy grows, the more it digs itself into a hole.
For my part, I would attach more credibility or reliability to the scientists who disclosed that each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it. Poch Suzara

Abused Atheists

We atheists make fun of religious beliefs because they are ludicrous. Can you really believe that Satan appeared and wafted Jesus on to a mountain top from which he could see the entire world and that Satan, personally, tempted Jesus and offered to him the kingdoms of this world if Jesus would only kneel down to Satan? ( matt. 4:11) (Luke 4:2-13). To think Jesus never asked Satan if he possessed titles of ownership of those kingdoms of the world! Perhaps you believe you can change your diet to suit God’s menu? … “hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own shit, and drink their own piss with you? ( Isaiah 36:12 ) ( 2Kings 18:27 ) You can’t laugh at Atheists because we do not adhere to such irrational ideas. However, if you find any hilarious slips in our logic, we will be the first to laugh with you at our own errors. But now you complain that Atheists have done nothing to help the poor and the downtrodden as much as the Christians have. Well, how could we? Look what you Christians did to us Atheists for about 1,500 years. You outlawed us from the universities or any teaching careers, besmirched our reputation, ostracized us, blacklisted us, banned our books, burned our writings of any kind, drove us into exile, humiliated us, seized our properties, arrested us for blasphemy. Christians have dehumanized us atheists with beatings and exquisite torture, gouged out our eyes, slit our tongues, stretched, crushed, or broke our limbs, tore off their breasts if they were women, crushed their scrotums of they were men, imprisoned us, stabbed us, hung us, and burnt us alive – for bringing enlightenment to the minds of men and intelligence to the hearts of women. Atheists are now in government, in the United Nations, and other global organizations. Have you heard of atheists doing the same horrors to the Christians or to believers of whatever faith today? No, because we atheists are rational men and women. The most we do at your ridiculous beliefs is to laugh at them as they are childish, if not delusional ever doing more harm than good in our world.

Persistence in Prayer

“Persistence in prayer pleases God.” Phil Star, May 3, 2008. Obviously, this only proves that God is not all that powerful or all that kind and merciful or all that thoughtful. In fact, it proves that God is really a cold-blooded perfection lost in self-admiration always desperate for affection via endless attention. Poch Suzara

God Will Provide

Godism

If Atheism is a natural response to the abuse of fundamentalism, then fundamentalism must also be the natural response to the abuse of ecclesiasticism. And what good is ecclesiasticism devoid of Satanism? In the meantime, a God who maliciously and recklessly created a world like this one has got to be a supernatural Jerk. What is more incredible, however, are the faithfools. The still believe in such unbelievable malarkey. They continue to be frightened of such childish nonsense. Poch Suzara

The Childish Creator

Little Men

I am told that great men of history have always had a high libido. Always lustful. They were sexually active in the pursuit of women just as active in the other great challenges in life.
Well, I have known of morons who have had a much higher libido. They will fuck anything dumbstruck with a skirt; yet they remain Lilliputian as ever before always bereft of any kind of courage for greatness to put beauty into this world where nature has put only horror. Poch Suzara

Poor Judas

"Now this man [Judas] purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out." (Acts 1:18) In school, we were taught that Judas hanged himself. Indeed, he hanged himself according to Matthew 27:5? "And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. I suppose before we can determine whether Judas was a hero or a villain, let’s first Determine how the poor fellow met his death as reported in the bible a book written by inspired authors of an All-knowing God! Poch Suzara

The Rich against the Poor

It is a fact of life that the rich are interested to become richer. But more so they feel a greater sense of accomplishment if they were able to successfully keep the poor poorer. To think that the worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind and heart. Is it any wonder that our world, since God knows when, has always been ruled by a gang of rich morons! Poch Suzara

America

America has approximately 1,600 Buddhist temples, 1,200 Muslim Mosques, and about 500 Hindu houses. Most of America’s black population now embrace the Islamic faith. It is now almost equal in numbers to the Jewish followers.
Author Dennis E. Hensley, in his book MILLENNIUM APPROACHES,writes that prisoners in New Jersey and Georgia have asked to worship on Fridays because they are Muslims. Orthodox Jews serving as rabbis in the military have asked to violate Air Force dress regulations in order to wear a skullcap. Sikhs serving in the military have petitioned to be allowed to grow their beards for their faith forbids shaving them. Muslim women in four states have sought an exception to revealing their faces for driver’s license photos since wearing a veil is part of their religious discipline.
According to high officials of the US government, if you were an American atheist, you are not considered a citizen of the USA.
America is indeed a great nation. It is blessed not only with unity of diversity, but also liberty; especially the liberty to perpetually enjoy human stupidity. Poch Suzara

Computer Industry

Logic and mathematics on the one hand, and science and technology, on the other hand, produced the computer machine.
It is truly pathetic, however, to see timid friends and frightened relatives sitting in front of a computer machine still clinging to the belief that the power of divinity had everything basic to do with logic, mathematics, science, and technology responsible for the birth of the computer industry. Unfortunately, how to assemble and produce and operate a computer machine is not mentioned in the Old or in the New Testament! Poch Suzara

Death

There is so much fuss and excitement about the physical death of a relative or an associate or a friend. Nobody, however, gives a damn about the mental death of children in our schools, colleges, and universities. Especially those taught never to think critically; or to learn to be independent fearlessly; or to be truthful creatively especially in helping to establish and maintain for ourselves a lively and a sane society. Poch Suzara

The Holy Bible

The holy bible is responsible for more heresy, atheism, agnosticism, disbelief - call it what you like - than any other book ever published.
For my part, messages from the Old and the New Testament inspired me to extricate myself up and out of the Catholic Church premises. As I happily excommunicated myself, I managed to save not my stupid soul; but saved, instead, my precious mind and heart to carry on living the good life – one inspired by knowledge and guided by love. So life is short, brief, and fleeting, so what? If we must face death, let us face death sober, and not drunk with lies. Poch Suzara

Basket Case

Considering the tens of millions of college educated Filipinos with talents and skills, why are we still in Asia a basket case? Indeed, in this 21st century, why is the Republic of the Philippines only waiting for more miracles from foreign countries called foreign investment? If not also waiting for a foreign Savior to remedy the religious ills of our sick society?
The Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, for the glory of God in heaven, produces more children than it can produce more rice for the nation’s children!
In the meantime, it is incredible to notice that other Asian countries like Vietnam and Thailand do not believe in a God that provides. And yet, these Asian countries are able to produce more rice not only for themselves but also for export to the Philippines. Poch Suzara

The Difference

It is very easy to determine the difference between a religious believer and the intelligent unbeliever. The religious believer looks for easy answers. Answers, indeed, that in time, become obsolete. The intelligent unbeliever, however, looks for hard questions - so basic in the never-ending pursuit of the truth. Poch Suzara

Christ’s Victory

Christ’s victory in the past gives courage for the present and hope for the future.” Phil Star, May 2, 2008
Indeed, the courage to continue to be selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane; and the hope to continue to be the Sick Children of Asia.
In the meantime, Christ preached: “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matt.18:3.
Of course, it is best that we all grow up not only older, but wiser; but how is that possible when Christ’s also preached: “Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; no yet for your body, what ye shall put on. . . Take therefore no thought for the morrow.” Matt. 6:25

Crab Mentality

Is the crab mentality one of the major negative attitudes of most Pinoys? Is this why our country lags behind neighboring nations? A sure sign of crab mentality is that everyone wants to be corrupt. Just like most, if not all of the officials in the Philippine government are corrupt? I say, please, let us not insult the crabs. They are innocent creatures. None of them are baptized Catholics. None are products of our schools, colleges, and universities. In fact, there are no known crabs who organized prayer rallies for the salvation of the crab souls being caught then boiled or steamed and swallowed by religious morons populating our sick country - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Poch Suzara

Philippine Education

There is not one, among the great many schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines that teach students we Filipinos are all one people, and that we Filipinos are all under one nation. The whole idea behind the system of education is to see to it that Filipinos never get to know and to love each other; especially, as we are all one and the same victims of the same historical deviltry since the 16th century known as Christianity. Poch Suzara

Atheists are Honest and Truthful People. We do not live with Lies and Deceptions

Those who believe atheism is an escape from responsibility or a license to a life of criminality will be in for a surprise. They will find atheism’s moral standards as high as those of any religion because they emanate from the exactly the same arena – human experience. Atheists will need even more responsibility because atheism expects no help from supernatural allies in the sky. Atheists will find no Big Daddy figure, no Grand Design, no purpose other than what they can make, and basically there is nothing in control of nature except the laws of nature. No wonder so many would-be atheists fail the test. But what the believers offer is even more unnerving. Consider: An all-knowing, all-powerful God who could have created any kind of world desired but deliberately and maliciously chose to create this world. This God stood by helplessly while his own Chosen people were being gassed to death by the millions. Either God approved, in which case he is at least as wicked as Hitler, or God disapproved, in which case he is less powerful than Hitler. The Great Flu of 1918 killed some 20 million people; where was our loving God? The God concept loses all the time. You simply cannot have an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-merciful God and have a world like this one. We atheists understand this, which is why we are atheists: without theism, without god-belief. It is not a careless or reckless position but quite a rational one arrived at after much thought and research. Atheism therefore will not be jettisoned without the power of reason. If that reason ( credible evidence for the existence of the supernatural ) has not been found in all of human history, it’s highly unlikely it will be discovered any time soon. So the probability of a genuine truth-seeker - an atheist reverting back to god-belief is about on a par with the chance of the man of knowledge going to back to being, once again, a man of faith traveling backward instead of forward. The arrow of time never travels backward. Poch Suzara

Errors

Why it is that when man commits an error, it is man’s fault? But when God commits an error, it is not God’s fault, but still man’s fault? If kindness, however, is the oil that takes the friction out of life, where then is supernatural kindness?
In the meantime, if man were inherently evil, why would God allow his only begotten son to incarnate and be born as a man? Born of a Virgin Mary at that! Poch Suzara

Mediocrity

To the mediocre, the highest form of religion is the one that’s based upon mediocrity. The theologians, who are always unworthy of human intelligence, prefer to call it - Christianity. The bible writers called it having faith in divinity. In the end, it is really about the different levels of pretentious serendipity, but nevertheless simplified as the complexity of mediocrity. Poch Suzara

FILIPINO TRAGEDY

There is nothing tragic about having been raised by ignorant parents at home and educated by ignorant teachers in school. What is truly tragic, however, is if we refuse to explore anything truthful at all about ourselves as individuals and to discover too where we stand as a decent nation. We just carry on with our children and grandchildren to believe and to have faith in the same old religious hokum and the same old political bunkum that’s keeping all of us popular as the Sick man of Asia.

Man's Insignificance

How microscopic man must be living on this planet as tiny as a speck of dust in the immensity of space and in the eternity of time. A million planets the size of earth can easily fit inside the sun. In the meantime, the largest Black Hole ever discovered by astronomers has a mass equivalent to 18,000,000,000 suns. And to think that on this piece of dust called "earth," some 2,000 years ago, the Son of the Creator of the Universe had to die on a stick of wood so that mankind will learn to "love not this world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." I John 2:15. Poch Suzara

Heaven and Earth

On earth as it is in heaven? Is this another biblical hogwash? If God could create a heaven without pain, poverty, and suffering, why couldn’t God create the same on earth? Or, why even bother to create earth to begin with? Indeed, why bother to create earth only to be populated by silly Christians, silly Muslims, and silly Jews, not to mention the silly men and silly women of this forum frightened of the power of thought? Poch Suzara

Silly Question

Does God have a place in science class? A silly question, indeed, because there is no God existing in religion class. Well, if God were non-existing in religion class, why should there be a God existing in science class?
In the meantime, evolution is not a theory in religion. Evolution is a fact in science. Poch Suzara

Theological Malarkey

For me, as a finite being, able to admit that I know absolutely nothing of the existence of an infinite Being, but that I know it to be – THE HOLY SPIRIT - is the height of a theological hokum. Poch Suzara

Family Relationship

Family relationship in heaven must be just as screwed up as the family relationship on earth. Indeed, on earth as it is in heaven. We never cease praying to Mary, the Mother of God in heaven to pray for us sinners here on earth. Obviously, Mary and God are not that often together enjoying family chat. It only proves that God has no time to listen to his Mother. This is strange. Since God does not have to fool around away from home, or to leave his mother in order to migrate abroad to earn a living. Poch Suzara

Catholic Bishops

27 million Pinoys have no toilet facilities and no access to clean water. And yet, despite these horrors, the catholic bishops in cooperation with our high government officials have not ceased to inspire our women to have sex not for fun, but to have sex seriously by getting pregnant. Never mind if children were born unwanted or unloved. We must never displease God. Never mind if children were born to exist under subhuman conditions. Let us give them a chance to grow up a little and then kill them with filth, malnutrition, and diseases.

In the meantime, there is also this other daily horror that our high government officials do not give a hoot about since they too believe that God will always provide: Population explosion is forcing a fantastic rise in poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy, and economic perversity in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

God's Mysterious Existence

If we see a cathedral, we assume that it was built by people like us, and since we are acquainted with people, we can assume that the cathedral designer and builder also had loves and hates, hopes, fears, bodily needs like food and sex. But we have never met anyone who designed and created a galaxy. We cannot assume that it still alive, or conscious, or indeed, that it is a spirit without end or a being without a beginning. Much less do we have a right to assume that it too has loves, hates, orgasms, or involved with stupid politics, or with stupid religion that’s keeping our world poor, sick, insane, and backward. In the meantime, a cathedral is nothing but a monument to human stupidity. Poch Suzara

Truly Incredible

It is truly incredible to witness how grown-up men and women still hold with deep faith the religious hogwash frightened into them to believe when they were innocent, gullible children in school and at home. As if those religious morons who frightened us to believe knew exactly what they were blabbering about.

I said it before, and I say it again: we are all victims of human stupidity; specially by our own parents at home and by our teachers in school. For us today
to be as equally stupid to distort and to twist the minds and hearts of our own children and grandchildren to carry on human stupidity should make us no less than those criminals who destroyed our minds and hearts leading us away from the path toward the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Poch Suzara

Rich People

People think they are rich because they have plenty of money. In fact, most rich people enjoy poverty of the worst kind – the poverty of the mind and heart.

Bill Gates is not rich because of his billions. He is rich because of the wealth of his mind, and indeed, the nature of his kind heart.

In the Philippines, when a dumbstruck Pinoy gets to become suddenly rich either by smuggling, gambling, robbery, marriage, or inheritance – the first thing he does with his money is to look for pretty prostitutes in local cheap bars. Then he immediately plans to travel to America to look for prettier prostitutes.

Of course, there are the worst kind: those who go back to God, ask for the forgiveness of their sins and crimes, then they commit to memory verses from the holy bible, and then declare themselves to the whole world that they are now Born-again Christians. Poch Suzara

God as Designer and Creator

The trouble with God as designer and creator of the universe was that He recklessly failed to refine his original blueprint. After all, there was no need to include the existence of a stupid Talking Serpent to get the stupid original sin going against Adam and Eve not to enjoy a perfect life in a perfect paradise on Earth.

Religion and Politics as Evil Monsters

“Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.” Mahatma Gandhi. My dear Gandhi, you are right on target: religion and politics only pretend to be separated, but in reality, however, both have always been in cahoots together. Especially for wealth, power, and glory. Look how they have mutually concocted for themselves the “divine right of kings,” on the one hand, and on the other hand, the “divine authority of the Church.” In the meantime, silly theologians always in cahoots with the silly politicians are both masters in the art of telling lies at best, and at worst deceptions; especially with much alacrity, if not with much hypocrisy. Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Google#

Separation of Church and State

The separation of Church and State has always been based on a lot of superstitious hogwash. Why should stupid religion always in cahoots with stupid politics have to pretend that they are separated? The existence of the State should be above the Church. In fact, in this 21st century, the church should already be dead and buried and gone. The Church knows nothing of the secret of life after death. She knows nothing of the secret of life after birth? So what exactly does the Church know since even her own God continue to remain nothing but an useless mystery? Poch Suzara

Supot

If God created man in his own image and likeness and we are all born supot, then God must be a supot too. Well, if God and all men are born supot, why should religion be stupid enough to consider the doctrine of circumcision which is really the mutilation of the image and likeness of God as something sacred or holy? Poch Suzara

Religious Rat Race

No doubt, in the religious rat race, we Filipinos won and have been victorious since the 16^th century. Indeed, in matters of religious beliefs and values, specially with faith in Jesus, we are way ahead among all other Asian countries still untouched by Christianity.

What is sick and rotten, however, about the religious rat race, is that rats continue to dominate our way of life as a people, and rats continue to dominate the Philippines as a nation. Poch Suzara

The Human Race

There was existing, once upon a time, the beauty and the sanity known as the human race. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, divinity emerged in the shape of a stupid Burning Bush to meddle in human affairs. And deviltry in the shape of a stupid Talking Serpent emerged also to meddle in human affairs. The human race then evolved into something not only irrational and insane but eventually proceeded to become something of a rotten global disgrace for the sake of divine grace. Poch Suzara

Rotten Religion

Religion is the most rotten thing in the world. It misdirected humanity to live a sick life after death in heaven. It never guided humanity to live a healthy life after birth on earth.

As for me, an atheist, it seems self-evident that the secret of life and death are not only unknown, but unknowable. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell and Voltaire

Voltaire said: “If God does not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.” On the contrary, if God does not exist, it would be even more necessary to live the good life. Atheist Bertrand Russell described “the good life as one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”

If only the politicians in government understand this piece of truth, ours could be a government of the truth, by the truth, and for the truth. Not as it has always been a government of lies, by lies, and for lies. Poch Suzara

Horrible Faith

Nothing is really completely horrible, because the most horrible of things can, at least, serve as a horrible example. For example, faith may be not that horrible all the time. Sometimes it can be very useful. Faith helps to choke free inquiry and the useful consequences it might bring. Faith also promotes the fallacy of the unknown by means of the more unknown. Poch Suzara

Sermon

The Pastor’s sermon this morning: ”Jesus Walks on the Water.” My own sermon: Jesus Saves but first we must find Jesus? I ask: Since Jesus could walk on water, how come nobody picked up on that miracle to be included in the Olympic Games competition called "walkers on water contest?" Poch Suzara

Revealed Truth

If the search of the truth were man’s most noble of professions, it is only because the Truth revealed in the holy bible has never, as yet, been revealed. Poch Suzara

Obama - the anti-Christ

According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal.... the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is this Obama? So wrote Ken Blackwell – Columnist of the New York Sun.

In the first place, the anti-Christ may not be a person, but a whole State like the Jewish State that never got converted to Christianity. What could be more anti-Christ than that?

In the second place, how could Revelation predict that the anti-Christ will be of a Muslim descent since there were no Muslims yet existing when Revelation was written by inspired superstitious primitives of God? Poch Suzara

The Existence of Reality

In the short run, yes, perhaps reality exists; but in the long run, what is there really to believe about the existence of reality? Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it. Which reality is therefore real – the reality on the way out after death, or the reality on the way in after birth? Poch Suzara<

Prayer

If prayer were allowed inside the school, such a school might fail in its task to reflect as a monument to human intelligence.

Prayer should only be allowed inside a cathedral. After all, a cathedral is a monument to human stupidity. Poch Suzara

God and the Fireman

God says that it is not his business to save a child from burning inside a building on fire because, to begin with, He did not cause the fire. And yet, a fireman saves a child inside a burning building even if the fireman did not also cause the fire! Isn’t it strange that a fireman could play God because God himself refuses to play God? Poch Suzara

Christianity

Christianity has done very little to promote civilization; in fact, Christianity has done a great deal to retard it.

In this 21st century Philippines, for example, there is hardly even a semblance of civilization. In the 19th century, for writing two great books based on the power of ideas and the values of civilization throughout his land, Christianity had our Jose Rizal arrested, tried, and executed by firing squad.

I submit, if Christianity had instead promoted, not shamelessly demoted, - the impact of Rizal’s writings, the Filipinos would be one of the most highly respected people and the Philippines one of the most greatly admired nations in all of Asia today. Ah, thanks to Christianity, we Filipinos remain only famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Where is Hell

Nobody, but nobody knows what mode of transportation can be used to travel to hell. Nobody, but nobody knows the direction on how to get to hell. Nobody, but nobody knows even if hell has an address? And yet, religious morons never cease to ask: if there is a hell?

I bet the Catholic theologians know everything there is to know about hell. After all, they invented the concept of hell for intelligent children who have hopes of being unfaithful and disobedient. They are destined to end up in hell. Poch Suzara

God and Evolution

I am told that evolution is evidence of God. God is part of nature that man has not yet studied.
If this were true, however, then God is natural, not supernatural. But then again, if God were part of nature, why would he declare such nonsense like: “My kingdom is not of this world?”

In the meantime, I will take sides with Carl Sagan, one of the greatest scientists our world has ever produced. In his Pale Blue Planet, he wrote:

“Two billion years ago our ancestors were microbes; a half-billion years ago, fish; a hundred million years ago, something like mice; ten million years ago, arboreal apes; and 1 million years ago, proto-humans puzzling out the taming of fire. Our evolutionary lineage is marked by mastery of change. In our time, the pace is quickening.” Poch Suzara

ONLY GOD

“Only God has the right to define what’s wrong.” Phil Star March 13,2008 If God could only wake up, He might begin to do right what has always been wrong with His original creation to begin with. For God’s sake, even the scientists are trying to find ways and means to improve the human conditions on this earth. Such as curing diseases, even conquering death. Now we are told that scientists are playing God. Well, if God would only stop wasting his powers fooling around and begin to play the role of God himself, we would have no need of scientists trying hard to make this world a better place than what the religious morons have made of it during these past centuries! Poch Suzara

Sin

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8.

It is insane to imagine a supernatural Being still bothered with stupid sin in this 21^st century. Billions of Christians, Jews, and Muslims have already been born, sinned, and died on this earth since ages ago. Especially since His own son Jesus pretended to die on the cross to save the world from sin. Indeed, when Jesus resurrected from the dead, so have the deadly sins of the world resurrected along with Him. Poch Suzara

Free Will

“Our Father who art in heaven,” "give us this day our daily bread," "lead us not into temptation" and “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Free will is a myth. A biblical joke. We have no free will. Where is our free will if we were only doing God’s will on earth as it is in heaven? Where is your free will to do something for yourself without God or without the devil?Indeed, where is your free sense to attain for yourself self-respect and dignity as a thinking man? Poch Suzara

The Fool

The fool said in his heart “There is no God.” Well, as a fool myself, I say, let’s assume for a moment that there is a God: so how come God is always omni-­absent everywhere all the time; never omni-present anywhere at any time?

Well, more to the point I ask: what if there is a God, but no life after death? What if there is life after death, but no God? Either way, it still sucks, doesn’t it? Poch Suzara

Let There Be Light

God said: “let there be light.” How strangely honest of God to admit that He was not a bright shinning light himself. He had to create the sun to light up the pitch universal darkness around Him. Poch Suzara

Wild Beast

"Even wild beasts are not as ferocious as these Christians in their hatred for one another."--Ammianus, 4th century Roman historian.

Please Sir Ammianus, no need to insult them - wild beasts do not hate each other in God’s name, nor do they kill each other for his glory in heaven. If they do kill, however, it is for the sake of survival as their creator couldn’t give 2 hoots about their existence on this planet earth! Poch Suzara

Divine Plan

Was God really that all-knowing? Did God have ample experiences so as to insist that he could remedy human affairs and improve global events?

Instead of creating Adam and Eve, He should have first created for himself a mom and dad, a wife and in-laws, grandma and grandpa, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, uncles and aunties, and cousins. In this way, God need not have been lonely as a supernatural orphan living all alone in the vast universal darkness. In fact, with such divine relatives, God from up there could have shown real examples of love and affection for the human family to emulate down here. Poch Suzara

St. Augustine Wrote:

“The measure of love is to love without measure.” So how come God’s love for the world was measured with a cheap, if not with a rotten free will? Augustine was responsible for the phrase “original sin.” Before him it was known as ancestral sin. One would suppose that Augustine became God’s favorite saint only because he conveniently made excuses for God - the original creator who started the whole original mess to begin with. Poch Suzara

The Bigger Fool

The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. Well, I ask: Isn’t God the bigger fool for creating the fool who denies not only God’s existence, but also rejects God’s creative power? However the case may be, why would God create the fool as he created all men and women in his own image and likeness? Poch Suzara

Silly Bible

Everything in this world begins with the new and then it becomes old. Except the silly bible. It begins with the Old Testament and then it becomes the New Testament. As if there were any difference whatsoever between old evil or new evil in the biblical Testaments. Poch Suzara

How Wonderful of Christ

How wonderful of Christ to have died on the cross to save the world from sin as the sins of the world too died together with Christ.

How dreadful, however, when Christ resurrected, so did the sins of the world also resurrected. Well, Christ did not go back to the drawing board; instead, he promised to return to finish the job. That was more than 2,000 years ago. Poch Suzara

The Bible

The bible is a good book; unfortunately, good for nothing. Tens of millions of Christians have not read the bible. If they read it, however, and read verses that were confusingly incredible, if not incomprehensible, they called it “divine wisdom.” Sometimes, they even thought of it as the “Revealed Truth.” Poch Suzara

If God Does Not Exist

If God does not exist, everything is permitted? On the contrary, according to the priesthood industry, God exists and therefore everything is permitted. Look how the faithful believers always take advantage of the sacrament of forgiveness of sin available from God at any time. Specially those sinners and criminals elected into high government office.

Such an arrangement has certainly generated wealth, power, and glory for the priesthood industry. After all they own the unregistered patent: they invented the concept of sin and eternal punishment that goes to hell with it. Poch Suzara

Test Everything

The bible clearly states: “Test everything. Hold on to the good.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:21

I say: test everything especially the good. It too might be good for nothing. Poch Suzara

Deadly Religious Morons

They would rather visit their dead loved-ones buried in the cemetery; but never, would they ever, even dream of visiting their loved-ones in heaven. In the first place, nobody knows whether their loved-ones made it to heaven; in the second place, nobody knows where heaven is located. Even the theologians do not know; though they know or rather pretend to know a lot about God, and that God is everywhere.

In the meantime, what is immortality? It is the condition of dead people who refuse to believe they are already dead. Poch Suzara

Lively Religious Morons

It is interesting to observe how the religious morons try to prove the existence of God precisely by proving the existence of their own ignorance.

Listen closely to these two morons debating: I do not how God created the turtle’s shell. You do not know how God created the turtle’s shell. We both know, however, that God created the turtle’s shell.

In other words, the existence of unsolved problems proves the existence of God.
To worship “God” therefore is to worship ignorance.

Nobility or Stupidity

What is so noble about turning the other cheek, if one knows that each time he does so, he is piling up greater heavenly rewards, while the one who strikes him is earning his stupidity as his rewards in hell? Poch Suzara

Silly Prayer

Crucified on the cross, Jesus dying cried out: “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Now if God would not listen to the prayer of his own begotten Son, why should God listen to the prayer of grown-up men and women petrified like a bunch of little boys and girls feeling also forsaken? Poch Suzara

Bible Lessons

As an atheist, I ask: where is the love of reading as a lifetime adventure taught in the Old Testament? Where is the joy of free thought explained in the New Testament? Where is the definition of a decent man and a civilized woman written in the bible? Where is the definition of a happy home with happy children described in the bible? Where in the bible does it explain how to settle international disputes not with hate and war, but with the audacity of reason?

If the bible is a good book, how come, thus far, the bible has only been good for nothing? In fact, where is peace on earth and goodwill to all men, women, and children inspired by, and encouraged with, bible lessons? Poch Suzara

Thoughtless

Those who fear reading provocative material are those who have been frightened since childhood formative years to think not for themselves. They are no better off than those who are un-schooled or functionally illiterate or emotionally bamboozled. Poch Suzara

Atheist and Christian

If you come right down to it, there is little difference between some of the goals of the Christian and the Atheist: both value helping their fellow man.

The Atheist, however, is drawn to this goal out of unselfish love and sympathy – which arise from his sense of human decency and intelligence. For the Atheist, the ultimate goal in life is human happiness by making others also happy.

The Christian, sad to say, is driven to it out of fear for his own eternal welfare. For him, helping his fellow man is not an end in itself, but only a means of saving himself from damnation.

The Atheist realizes that he could be mistaken about what his best for his fellow man; so he is willing to change his mind. He welcomes criticisms.

The Christian cannot admit that his ideas of right and wrong might be mistaken, because to doubt would, again, imperil his immortal soul.

Thus, highly-indoctrinated, the Christian is a blind, senseless, panic-stricken victim who must keep running until he drops. He has nothing useful going for him in this world except blind faith in lies, deceit, fraud, and deception especially about the next life in the better world to come after death. Poch Suzara

Jose Rizal

If Christianity had not dragged Jose Rizal down and get him executed for promoting the power of science and reason, the Philippines today would be the most developed and the most advanced country in Asia today. Especially in the race to achieve the higher standard of thought as a free people and the higher standard of independence as a free nation.

Indeed, because of the tragic fate of great thinkers like our Jose, Rizal, the freedom of thought and the power of reason have never played seminal roles within our system of education. It is, in this way, we Filipinos in this 21st century are only more destructive and more at home with political and social decadence.

As disciples, followers and admirers of Jose Rizal, we Filipinos could have been more creative and familiar with the power of science and its devotion to the truth under the beauty of human intelligence.

Of course there is this cock and bull, theological hogwash invented by the shallow-minded Jesuit friars claiming in effect that before he was put to death, Rizal retracted. A fascinating fairy tale not worth elaborating for matured and intelligent readers on this page. Poch Suzara

More On Rizal

Jose Rizal would never write such scientific nonsense as published in “Rizal’s Life: Works and Writings: Their impact on our national legacy written by Capino, Gonzalez, and Pineda:

“It is our duty to follow the arid but peaceful and productive paths of science which lead to progress and thence to the unity desired and asked by Jesus Christ on the night of his sorrow.” Page 82

It is evident that a man with the caliber of scientific outlook on life cannot let himself be submissive by biblical texts or by teachings of the Catholic friars who hated him. I am suggesting Rizal never wrote those words referring to Jesus Christ. Religious morons added those words to Rizal’s writings to make him look like he never abandoned his faith that kills. Poch Suzara

It Is Hard

It is hard to be an atheist if you were not an avid reader; especially if you have not thoroughly and properly read the bible. Indeed, it is hard to meet educated atheists who are not conversant with bible contradictions, inconsistencies, immoralities, obscenities, absurdities, atrocities, mendacities, and indeed, monstrosities.

Think of the claim that the bible was written by inspired authors of God. If this were so, how come the millions of bible readers have not been as equally inspired to read and to discover the inexcusable errors written in the bible? Poch Suzara

Science

Astronomy explains how we live on a speck of debris from a cosmic explosion billions of years ago.

Geology explains how brief is our existence on this earth both as individuals and as a species.

Biology explains how through millions of years, we humans evolved and are still evolving from lower into higher forms of life.

The science of astronomy, geology, and biology are more than enough for me to justify my stand on atheism as something more revealing, vigorous and courageous. Poch Suzara

War on Poverty

In the never-ending war against poverty, how come poverty is always winning? How come the government forces combined with the forces of the church continue to dismally fail to defeat poverty permanently out of our sick society?

In the meantime, poverty is the symptom: Christianity is the disease. Filipinos are not Christians because they are poor, they are poor because they are Christians. The war against poverty therefore should first be a war against the lies and deception behind the corrupt commercial enterprise known Christianity. Poch Suzara

The Excommunication Business

The church officials cannot afford to excommunicate government officials because they are all mutually involved together in the lucrative business of corruption in the Philippines.

Look how church officials are enjoying tax exempt status from the State. Look how the government officials are enjoying the forgiveness of sin and crime from God and His church! Poch Suzara

Most Women

Most women love mediocrity in men. Most men, just so to score sooner to what’s in between a woman’s leg, would readily manifest that their mediocrity is even inspired by a divinity. Poch Suzara

Politics and Religion in the Philippines

I hate Religion and its illusions. I hate politics and its delusions. Far more severe, I hate blind faith as it supports both religion and politics in cahoots together in the corrupt business of sin and crime. The Philippines is one example of what stupid religion combined with stupid politics can accomplish together. Especially to keep a whole nation poor, backward, frightened, and insane, - with lies, deceit, fraud, corruption and deception. Poch Suzara Twitter# Google#
