My Atheism - for Peewee

Peewee, Thanks for your great and indeed, sensible response to my piece - "Why we Atheists do not believe in the Christian God." Here, however, are great gods if taught to me to believe when I was a little boy at home and in school - I never would have entertained the beauty and the harmony of ATHEISM. Indeed, after I am dead, and it turns out that I will meet with these gods in the next life, I will surely shake each of their hands with gratitude and pride. Such gods, I will always believe and have faith in. Moreover, I will also always love faithfully, worship respectfully, and adore intellectually these great and wonderful gods: A legend is told of the creation of the universe. The gods held a conference and one of them said, "Let us give to man the same creative power that we ourselves possess. Where shall we hide this priceless gift?" Another answered, "Let us hide it where man will never think to look for it: within his own mind." Poch Suzara

Faith

Faith is not wanting to know what is true.
In fact, faith is not wanting to know the truth
why we Filipinos continue to remain spiritually
poor as a people and continue to remain backward
morally as a nation.

Faith is also protecting and defending ecclesiasticism.
Inspired in all of us during our childhood years getting
ourselves soaked in catechism. The catechism that meant
for us to believe that God will take care of our daily
bread. That God will aways provide! That God will never
lead us into temptation. That we must only always obey
God, not men!

Never mind our country of people,
nature, and the flesh, low and depraved as
they are, and therefore should be of little
concern or consequences for those millions
of us seeking to live the real life
in the real next world after death. After all,
this world is merely a stopover on our journey
to the next world. Therefore the less attention
placed on it, and more attention placed on
God’s kingdom in heaven, the rewards will
be greater, more everlasting.

Indeed, we Filipinos have never been
the rich masters of faith. On the contrary,
we have always been the poor victims of faith.

Dear reader, I have just described above
for you the basic causes in what keeps us
Filipinos, in this already 21st century, still
so faithful in getting ourselves more famous as
the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Peace with Jesus

Jesus said... Have peace one with another ...On earth peace, good will toward men... Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you... Blessed are the peacemakers...These things have I spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace... Resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” These are all great and wonderful messages from dear Jesus; except, could any of you bible believers, theologically inspired faithful bible readers, please explain 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 rewards in Hell?

Excuse me Guys and Gals

Excuse me guys and gals, but I don't blame anyone for what is wrong with us Filipinos. I blame the creator. God created the Jews, Chinese, Koreans, Spaniards, Americans, Japanese, etc, in his own image and likeness. Except the filipinos. God did not create the Filipinos in His own image and likeness. God created the Filipinos only to be good; especially to be good for nothing Christians. Consider we are the only Christian country in all of Asia since the 16th century. Indeed, I said it before, I say it again: If we were created in the image and likeness of God, we should be among the rich and powerful masters, and not the poor and faithful servants in countries of this world!

Pope’ s Public Apology

After apologizing for sexual abuse of children in church, in behalf
of the catholic church, the Pope should also publicly apologize for
the intellectual abuse of children in school – teaching them to
believe worthless values about life after birth and to have faith
in even more worthless values about life after death.

After which, I want the Pope to apologize for the wrongful public
execution of Jose Rizal in 1896. He was not a criminal nor was he
a sinner. He was just a bright thinker. Rizal delivered enlightenment
for the minds and hearts of Filipino children to enjoy via the
development of ideas for the here; the growth of knowledge for the
now; and the establishment of common human decency everywhere
in our country - the Philippines.

Our Jose Rizal was publicly executed because he showed more human
love and human respect for earthly humanity down here. He could
not give a hoot for a celestial divinity out there. Poch Suzara

The Religiously Moronic

I am told that in my writings I should try avoid using the words like “religious morons.” That I should, instead, politely refer to same as the “religious adherents.” I say fuck that shit. Those who had our own hero - Jose Rizal - arrested, jailed, and executed more than a hundred years ago were not the religious adherents. They were the religious morons – the Catholic Spanish friars. They were out to establish and to enhance not common Filipino decency in our land, but to protect and defend highly profitable big business otherwise more known as the Catholic Church in the Philippines. Ever since then, since there were no more heroes in the likes of a Jose Rizal, in this already 21st century, the Catholic church has become the richest and most powerful corporation existing in the Philippines. The majority of impoverished Filipinos are its clients, especially in buying daily love and indulgences from God through the power of prayer. Indeed, Filipinos have been taught to believe and to have faith in God who will always provide. If not here on this earth, later after death with God in the kingdom of heaven. What could be more religiously moronic than that? Poch Suzara

We, the Corrupt People

We, the corrupt people, get the corrupt government
we deserve; especially, as we are the corrupt product
of a corrupt system of education.

Indeed, to begin with, our schools, colleges, and
universities exist as commercial enterprises. They
are more functional as a corporation. They hardly
have anything to do with the growth of knowledge
or the development of wisdom under the power of
education.

We Filipinos are all born ignorant, not corrupt.
We are made corrupt in our schools, colleges, and
universities. Poch Suzara

I say it Again

I said it before, I say it again: Unless we all learn to become
atheists – to stop believing in a God or Allah or Yahweh or a
Burning Bush or what-not – we shall never be able to proceed on
the road towards global beauty and harmony for a better and a
healthier humanity.

Peace on earth and goodwill to all men is only possible as soon
as we all dump into the garbage bin all of our mindless religious
beliefs and thoughtless religious values. Indeed, nothing is
more constrictive, and in the long run more destructive than a
belief that is based on childish lies, if not infantile, -
deceptions.

Religion should be a private and a personal affair. Organized
religion, however, should never be taught in our schools, colleges,
and universities. If we ever hope for education to be truthful,
useful, and lively, it must be kept away from organized religion
which is dreadful, useless, and deadly. Organized religion is
simply nothing but organized insanity.

In the meantime, let us, indeed, teach our children that there
are bigger things in this world than we are - our family, our
country, this planet earth, and the whole of mankind - these
realities are bigger things than we are. And not some supernatural
silly monster somewhere out there in space eternally existing
only because of our infantile, nevertheless fearful - blind faith.

Faithful Believers

Faithful believers believe that God is a good and a loving
God and wants believers to do good things. In fact, most
believers, naturally enough, want to do good things and to
behave morally.

Sadly, however, millions of believers do not read the Bible,
or just read certain passages of it in church. It is
understandable. The Bible is hard to read due to its archaic
language and obscure references. Also many priests and
preachers don’t want you to read certain passages written
in the Bible because they convey a message of loss, not
profit. Indeed, a message for bankruptcy; not financial
security. For example, “thou shall not follow the multitude
to do evil.” Exodus 23:2.

Imagine the tremendous loss of revenues for the priesthood
industry if everyone follows not the multitude to do evil?
What will happen to the billions that the church makes as
monthly income by protecting and defending evil in this
world? The more evil there are existing in this world the
better justification it is for the church to pretend to be
against such evils. But as a matter of historical fact, the
church has always had a vested interest in human misery,
poverty, and indeed, the concocted existence of deviltry.

Could anything thoughtful be build on a thoughtless rock?
And why should the gates of hell prevail against a mindless
piece of rock? In the meantime, during these past centuries,
in the Philippines, for example, when was the Son of God
Jesus ever around? The Savior of Filipinos? The Redeemer
of all mankind? Or, the whereabouts of his apostles who were
given the power and authority to destroy the devil? Time has
elapse. But the devil is still pretty much around lively, if
not as ever - deadly.

For the most part, evil build the church as the church
established herself with more evils she produced for the
multitude to fear. In fact, both the church and evil have
always been in cahoots existing as faithful partners happy
together!

Now, my dear reader, if you wish to understand the nature
of evil in this world, just take a hard look at your church
existing for over 2,000 years. She's getting richer, more
powerful, and enjoying more authority and glory not due
to the elimination of evil in this world; but precisely
due to the multiplication of more and greater evils created
into this world. Our World.

I said it before, I say it again: if we truly hope to live
the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge
- especially for the sake of establishing a good and a happy
world for all mankind - it is time to dump the evil church
permanently out of this only precious world of ours!

We do not need a God out there for us to love one another down
here. We need only to love one another down here and that is
all that matters. Let us cultivate of our precious minds and
precious hearts through precious education. In this way, human
civilization becomes far more precious as compared to the
avoidance of a silly eternal damnation for the sake of gaining
a worthless non-existing equally silly eternal salvation. Poch

Atheism in the Philippines

If there were one true existing god, there should only be one true existing religion — and it's obvious that there many religions in conflict against each other. The theistic world is divided into several different main existing religions, - Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc each of which is divided into groups hating other groups. And, many of those are divided into even smaller groups. The Christian faith, for instance, is divided into over 33,000 denominations. They have published some 88 different versions of the holy bible sold in the market today. Atheists, on the other hand, stand always united. We do not hate or kill other atheists for not believing in the existence of God. In fact, hating and killing comes from belief; never from unbelief. We Filipino atheists are so proud of the fact that no Filipino has ever become filthy rich for believing that God is bad. We are, however, so ashamed of the fact that millions upon millions of Filipinos are filthy poor and yet they all believe that God is good. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Matthew - Silly Inspired Author of God

“Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Matt. 10:30. Matthew could have made more sense had he been a circus clown and not a bible writer. It is, indeed, laughable also to believe that God inspired Matthew to write this kind of spiritual hogwash. Golly, we live on a speck of dust called earth lost in the immensity of space and time. Human life is but a split second long, a wink of an eye, a flash in the pan compared to the life of the universe. But, according to Matthew,the Lord seems to welcome divine anxiety for as long human stupidity will last as long as eternity? Isn't this nothing but religious insanity to sustain the existence of a silly divinity and to support silly deviltry? Poch Suzara

For manny amador

For Manny Amador,

If your God exists, tell him to come down and introduce himself
to me. And when that happens, do you really believe that I will
begin to believe, love, worship, and adore such a supernatural
monster?

The trouble with you is that you do not read and therefore you
have no idea of what's written in your own so-called holy bible.

Well, to begin with, why should you read anything since
you are already enjoying with much fear your faith in BLIND
FAITH?

And to think that amongst you - the faithfools - are the
teachers and the professors of our schools, colleges, and
universities. Mostly owned and controlled by the corrupt
politico-economic-clerico elite keeping the Filipino proud
and famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Shattered Dream

When a loved-one shatters your dream, pick up the pieces and use
them to build bigger and better dreams. We must move on. Life must
go on. Indeed, there is more to life than just having a relationship
based upon mediocrity, purchased sexuality, shallow amorosity, or
mendacity for the sake of one's economy. Poch Suzara

The power of Ignorance

Everything in the Philippines is a failure; except ignorance. It is quite a success. Indeed, knowledge is power. In the Philippines, however, ignorance is even more powerful. Look how ignorance prevails In our sick country. However, as products of Catholic schools, colleges, and universities – look how in this already 21st century we still believe that after death there will be better world for all of us to go to. It is more popularly known as the kingdom of God in heaven. In other words, we Filipinos have no life after birth; we should only look forward to a real life after death. Hijos de tootie-frootie Y patooties - when are we ever to wake up in this God-forsaken country of ours? Poch Suzara

Religion of the Failures and the Losers

Jesus declared that the first will be the last, the weak will be the strong, and the fools will be the wise. Jesus was not a friend of the victor, of the strong, and of the wise. On the contrary, Jesus was the prophet of the losers, failures, and the faithfools. Look at Jesus himself. He got crucified on the cross by men created in the image and likeness of His own Father - God? Is it any wonder, crucified on the cross, Jesus cried out loud: "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST FORSAKEN ME?" Matt. 27:46. And to think that this is the same Jesus who bragged: "I AM THE WAY, THE LIFE, AND THE TRUTH." John 14:6. The same Jesus who declared: "I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE." John 10:30.

Our Failure as Parents

In this already 21st century, look at our Nation’s children – well-nourished, healthy, and loved in the minority; but in the majority malnourished, sick and unwanted and unloved. Nevertheless we still believe that children are all created in the image and likeness of a supernatural foreigner. Otherwise more known as God. Who, with a Virgin Mary, had begotten a Son name Jesus. Who died on the cross to save us not from the stupid devil, but to save us from our stupid sins. Poch Suzara

Just 4 Elements

According to science, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen
make up 96 per cent of the human body. The rest of the 4 per cent,
according to religion, comprises the soul, a thing created by God.
As to which God, or what is the nature of a soul – nobody knows!

It seems that in terms of space, the existence of the human body
is purposeless. In terms of time, human life is meaningless. The
sooner we accept these brutal facts, the sooner we can learn to be
happy, however, briefly, however temporary, happiness may be.
After all, in the end, nature will kill us all. Which only proves
that nature itself knows not what she is doing, or where she is
going. Poch Suzara

In This Life

In this short, brief, life, I have discovered down through the years,
that I always found what I was looking for. And I have always been
looking for happiness. I certainly found happiness; but as it turned
out, much to my surprised, I found something far more precious than
happiness: I found myself. Indeed, Socrates, the Greek philosopher,
said it some 2,300 years ago: “The un-examined life is not worth living
for man.”

How have I found happiness, and how have I found myself? For one thing
down through years of serious reading, I was able, first and foremost,
to successfully recapture the most priceless treasure stolen away from
me during childhood days in school – my most precious mind. Poch Suzara

Lead Us Not Into temptation

Everyday we pray to God to “lead us not

Free Market of Ideas

Most people do not participate in the free
market of ideas. Partly because they know
not how to market; but mainly because they
hate to think, they hate ideas, especially
new and fresh ideas. They hate it when ask:
how much do you understand where your beliefs
came from? How much do you understand about
what the fuck we are doing on this earth?
