Bertrand Russell On China

"I have come to realize that the white race isn't as important as I used to think it was. If Europe and America kill themselves off in war it will not necessarily mean the destruction of the human species or even an end to civilization. There would still be a considerable number of Chinese left; and in many ways China is the greatest country I have ever seen. It is not only the greatest numerically and the greatest culturally, but it seems t be the greatest intellectually. I know of no other civilization where there is such open-mindedness, such realism, such willingness to face the facts as they are, instead of trying to distort them into a particular pattern." Bertrand Russell wrote the above in 1921, Today in this 21st century already over taking America, we can all see China as a world power on the rise not because of militarization, but precisely due to the power of science and technology, and indeed, the power of hard work otherwise more known as industrialization.

Good Example versus Good Advice

"A good example has more value than good advice." Published today in the
Phil Star 1/11/2011.

Indeed, I entirely agree. However, why should God tell us how to raise our children when, by example, God himself, drowned His?

In the bible, we are told that God created the world in six days; and on the seventh day, God rested.

I think mankind would have enjoyed a more peaceful and delightful world if God had not rested, but instead, on the 7th day, God had compassion for what He had created? After all, compassion put into action is love and love has only to do with priorities; it has nothing to do with options. Poch Suzara

Thinkers Verses Believers

To be a thinker is hard. To be a believer is easy. To be a liar is even easier. That is why our world has always been ruled not by intelligent thinkers; but by the stupid believers always in cahoots with the stupid liars. Poch Suzara

The Sick Children of Asia

We Filipinos are, indeed, the Sick Children of Asia. Every day we pray to God to give us this day our daily bread and to lead us not into temptation. Poor as we are as a people even to fight strongly against temptation, we have no other recourse but to also pray to "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen." I said it before, I say it again: we are not the Sick Man; we are the Sick Children of Asia! Poch Suzara

The Death of Jose Rizal

The death of someone diminishes us all; especially the death of a great man like our Jose Rizal. He had proved himself most deserving to live the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Poch Suzara

The Search for God

What makes human life tragic? The fact that we shall never find searching for God
in this life. But to continue searching for God to no end in this life is, in the ultimate analysis, not only a holy baloney, but a mockery of what human life should be. Poch Suzara

Money and Honey

Man gives love in order to get sex. Woman gives sex in order to get love. All is fine and dandy as goes the story for the sake of human decency.

Trouble, however, arises when her man continues to give to other women more love for the sake of more honey. She too gives more sex to other men for the sake of more money.

For my part, I believe in the power of love. I believe it enough in the sense that to the woman I love, I wish her to be free, even free to be away from me. I wish her to go places in life and not just be taken for a ride.

In the ultimate analysis, love can only last for as long as the lovers mutually love a variety of things together and not merely love each other. Poch Suzara

Rizal and Which God

I am told that Rizal believed in God while he was being shot by a God-Blessed, God-inspired, and God-loving Firing Squad.

I ask: which God did Rizal believe - the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants?

Now in our schools, colleges, and universities we were taught ( by the killers of Rizal ) to believe and to have faith - that there is only ONE GOD.

Well, again, I ask: If it is true that there is only ONE GOD, why then would such GOD formulate in his First commandment: "THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME."

Again, I ask: Where did those other GODS come from: Which higher God created those other lower GODS? And which God did Rizal embrace while he was being shot to death
for the glory of which God in heaven or which God in hell? Poch Suzara

Silly Free Will

If you believe you have the free will to do evil, forget it. God already beat you to it. In the bible, God openly admitted: "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil; I the Lord do these things." Isaiah 45:7

Since God is here and is there and is everywhere and God created your future and determined your destiny - your free will becomes a mindless, if not a heartless, not to mention a worthless - void.

In the meantime, there is nothing sacred in this world. Not even free will, especially when free will is not real or useful or it dies even before it has a chance to really be free. Indeed, many of us believe we have free will because we are able to desire this or desire that. But we are not free to know why we are ever so ignorant as to where exactly our desires come from. Poch Suzara

The holy Bible Baloney

Bible contents are recycled myths. It is not only essential that you throw your bible out the window. It is even more crucial that you cease to believe in the existence of supernatural beings. Indeed, they do not exist. If, however, they do exist – they are not worth believing. After all, supernatural beings have never directly introduced themselves to any one of us. We don’t even know if such beings were colorful, bright, radiant, shinning, or visibly luminous. We do know, however, based on Genesis, that if God existed during those ancient times, he was a black supernatural Being existing in pitch darkness. He had to create the sun to light up the gloomy darkness around Him, didn’t He? In the meantime, the inspired authors of God did not know that the world is round; but they knew that Joshua commanded the sun to stop. They believed that it is the sun that's moving around the earth. Nowadays, for the sake of the American economy - only the US Marines believe, protect, and defend the truths revealed in holy bible baloney. Poch Suzara

Social Progress and Improvements

Only upon the rejection of lies and deceptions, on the one hand; and, on the other hand, the elimination of falsehoods and delusions - can society progress and improve; especially with illumination via the power of education.

A good society is not enough. The endless growth and development of society is better. What, however, we must all do, however, is to create a society that is the best for each and every one of us. For all of its members, it is a never-ending daily duty and a yearly responsibility.

Unfortunately, in the Philippines, what we love more is not a healthy, but a sick society; especially for the sake of deviltry in heaven; and, on earth for the sake of a divinity - all rolled into one silly bundle known as Christianity. Poch Suzara

Only in the Philippines

Convicting and sentencing rich Pinoy criminals to jail is big financial arrangement in the halls of justice. Pardoning and Releasing the same rich Pinoy criminals out of jail is even a bigger financial business in the halls outside justice. Indeed, among the richest of men in the Philippines today are referred to "Attorney," and also, indeed, those addressed to as "your honor." Poch Suzara

Jesus

Jesus was born of a Jewish mother in a Jewish town. Mary, His Mother was never a Catholic. During birth, Jesus was visited by 3 non-Catholic kings. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist who was a Baptist, not a Catholic. In fact, Jesus was never raised nor educated as a Catholic. His 12 apostles were not Catholic. Indeed, the rock upon which the church was built was not a Catholic rock. The Catholic church was purely built upon sacred lies and other holy deceptions for the sake of what eventually got to be known as the biggest, largest, richest, and most powerful bank in the world today - the Vatican Bank.

What If

What if all the people you hate on this earth will be rewarded with justice to enjoy eternal salvation in heaven under the management of deviltry? What if, after my own death, I find myself in heaven in the company of my former teachers and professors and father confessor? No way, I say. I'd rather kill myself. Over my dead body should I want to mingle in heaven with such mindless bullies and heartless tuti-frutie-patuties. Well, What if all the people you love on this earth will be punished without justice to suffer eternal damnation in hell under the management of Divinity? What then? Poch Suzara

The Mess in our World

In this world of politics and religion, sin and crime, poverty and misery, perversity and stupidity, religion against other religions - happily, there is always something still to be grateful for. As for me, I am most grateful that I managed, somehow, with so much pain and confusion then to seriously excommunicate myself permanently out of the Catholic church to become an atheist. Poch Suzara

I am not a Catholic

I am a not a Catholic. I am a Filipino. As such I have the greatest love, respect, and admiration for our own Jose Rizal more than I do have; in fact, I do not have - any kind of love, affection, or admiration for that Jewish fellow born in a Jewish land some 2,000 years ago. His name was Jesus, the so-called Son of a Jewish God who was not even raised and educated as a Catholic in the Philippines. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Poor Pinoys

The vast majority of Pinoys are, indeed,a hard working people. That is, of course, if hard working means exactly the same thing as hard praying. Indeed, we Pinoys attach more reliability to praying than we appreciate the miracles of hard thinking while hard working.

After all, in our schools, colleges, and universities - we were taught to believe and to never lose faith with the Word of God written in the holy bible such as: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth' and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Sadly, however, as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, the vast majority of poor Pinoys are still waiting and waiting for the results of their hard prayers said daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly!

In the meantime, we consume without producing. We are spending without earning. We are praying without working. What a waste of precious time as a people. What a waste of precious energy as a nation. We poor Pinoys are still stuck with our silly prayers behind a silly theology; when we should already be growing as a people with science and developing as a nation with technology. Poch Suzara

Sins of the Priests

The more sins you commit and confess, the more the church profits by the steps you have to take to mitigate your punishment in Purgatory before going, eventually, to heaven. The system is convenient both for the priests and for the sinners. It is, however, silly to pretend that such a system inspires growth as a people and enhances development as a nation. In fact, what it does promote is the spiritually poor Filipino getting more and more famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

The vast majority of Pinoys are, indeed, a hard working people. That is, of course, if hard working means exactly the same thing as hard praying. Indeed, we Pinoys attach more reliability by praying than we appreciate the values of working.

Sadly, however, as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, the vast majority of poor Pinoys are still waiting and waiting for the results of their hard prayers said hourly, daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly!

In the meantime, we consume without producing. We are spending without earning. We are praying without working. Instead of struggling creatively against foreigners, we would rather compete against each other to achieve more of the same old nothing.

What a waste of precious time as a people. What a waste of precious energy as a nation. We Pinoys are still stuck with silly prayers behind a silly theology. At this point in time of Philippine history - we should have already grown as a people with science and should have already developed as a nation with technology. Poch Suzara

Prayers of Medical Doctors

In order to enjoy success, wealth, power, and glory in this life - medical doctors must pray daily to ask God to never, ever, make health infectious; but only to please always keep diseases contagious. Such is the sick career of medical doctors on earth for the greater glory of a sick God in heaven. For my part, I have all the love and respect and admiration for doctors who are like me - an atheist. Poch Suzara

God Bless You Malarkey

I have met many people, both rich and poor in the Philippines and in foreign countries. But never, have I ever met a person who is exempted from troubles or spared of problems because he or she has been truly blessed by a loving, kind, and a merciful God. "God Bless You" is a message not only based upon a lot of useless mystery; it is also about mindless spirituality, if not about a lot of sacred baloney, not to mention a lot of sacred malarkey. No one, but no one has ever been blessed by God. Though I have a sneaky suspicion that if there is any one that God has always blessed - it is the devil - his partner in crime against humanity.

Mark Zuckerberg - Man of the Year 2010

Mark Zuckerberg - Founder of Facebook - was born in White Plains, New York to Karen, a psychiatrist, and Edward, a dentist. Mark and three sisters, Randi, Donna, and Arielle, were brought up in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Zuckerberg was raised Jewish, including having his bar mitzvah when he turned 13, although he has since described himself as an atheist. Cheers to the Atheist movement throughout the world. It is about time we destroy the greatest twister of minds and distorter of hearts - stupid religion. The evil should already be dead and buried forever. Indeed, religion encourages stupidity and an insufficient sense of reality for the glory of a divinity in hell cahoots with deviltry in heaven. Poch Suzara

Jesus and His last Words

Jesus' last words on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" hardly seem like the words of a Savior of mankind.

Good without religion

I was good as a child. I had no faith in any religion. In fact, when I came out of my mom's womb - I was an atheist. Just like every one else is an atheist born into this world... It was only at the age of reason when I was told that God created me in his own image and likeness and that I was born with Original Sin. That any sin or crime I commit can be forgiven by God via confession to a priest. Except of course the sin of not believing in the Holy Spirit. That, for as long I have faith in God, my soul will be saved under eternal salvation; otherwise, if I continue to follow the ways of the devil as a sinner - I will be punished forever and ever under eternal damnation. Indeed, I am back to being good, especially good for something, and no longer good for nothing when I reverted back to my original atheism... Can you imagine how mentally confused, emotionally twisted, and psychologically distorted I was, as a growing boy, indoctrinated to be frightened of all those sick characters revealed in the holy bible as the truth?

Kill Kill and Kill

Kill one man and you are a murderer. Kill millions and you are a conqueror. Kill all and you are a God.

The Death of Jesus

Jesus, the Son of a Jewish God, was born in a Jewish town. He died on a Jewish cross for your Catholic sins. Should you not therefore celebrate the death of Jesus by committing more Catholic sins? Now could any of you really believe in Jesus, a Jew, crucified on a Jewish cross by fellow-Jews, dying and then resurrecting for the sins of the Catholics? As for me, for the sake of sanity, I put aside incredulity. I utterly refuse to attach credibility to this childish, indeed, fantastic bible silly story written and inspired by a silly divinity.

China and the Philippines

Dec. 12, 2010
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Manila

Letter to the Editors

Dear Editors:

China is a great nation. She has a government. Manage effectively by its own government officials. Especially how to deal, fearlessly, with foreign power. Such as the Catholic Church and its bishops meddling into Chinese State affairs.

In the Philippines, we hardly have a government of, by, and for the people. What we have, however, are lots of government officials working to enrich themselves. Most of them products of Catholic education via schools, colleges, and Universities established in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

Consider the way our so-called Public Servants as government officials begin, if at all, their work in the office. They begin with daily prayers to God to give us this day our daily bread, and to lead us not into temptation! Is it any wonder that we Filipinos continue to be losers as a people? But our public servants also pray daily to Mary, Mother of God - to pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen. It is any wonder that the Philippines continue to be a failure as a nation?

I said it before, I say it again: In this already 21st century, it is time for us Filipinos to radically re-evaluate our system of education. Otherwise, as this century ends 90 years from now - we Filipinos will continue to be not the rich masters, but only the poor victims of childish politics in cahoots with infantile religious values.

Free Will not that Free

We have the free will to choose our spouses in marriage; but we have no free will to choose our mother and father, brothers and sisters. Free Will is not that free.

The Holy Bible is not Holy

There are more than 57 different versions of the bible sold in bookstores today: - Duane, Catholic, King James, Good news, New Standard, New International, New American bible, etc, etc. As an aside, the bible has been revised, renewed, re-edited, mutilated, distorted, twisted, re-interpreted, re-issued,a and tampered with. Well, despite such changes, the bible continues to be a compilation of trashy, incoherent, confabulated, incredible tales, poems, sagas, and pieces of dramas. It is full of hatred, revenge, murder, bloodshed, greed, falsehoods, lies, deception, illusion, confusion, delusion, sado-masochism, absurdities, inconsistencies, atrocities, contradictions, lust, stupidities, and obscenities. Well, here is something that has not changed during these past thousands of years. Such beauties and consistencies have not been formulated by any inspired authors. It has been and still the perfect model of truth. It is precise, exact and certain, and free from all temporal dross - it is known as THE MULTIPLICATION TABLE. I ask: have any of you ever heard of different conflicting version of the MULTIPLICATION TABLE sold in bookstores today??? Nay, have you people ever heard of a nation declaring war on other nations because they did not believe or did not have faith in the truth that 2 plus 2 equals 4??? I rest my case - the bible is not only repulsive, furtive, constrictive, and seductive; it has also been historically destructive! I said it before, I say it again: look deep at the Philippines. The only Christian country in Asia under holy bible guidance as revealed truth since the 16th century. The vast majority of Filipinos have never been taught how to be intelligent MASTERS of religion, but only how to be the stupid VICTIMS of organized superstition. Poch Suzara

God Bless You Messages

I always get this message: "God Bless you." I ask - have you, my dear reader, have you ever met any one who has been really blessed by God in this world? I am already an old man. Thus far, all the men, women, and children I have met around the world I noticed all have been blessed by God. But in fact, all of them are afflicted with some kind of trouble, if not suffering from some kind of problem that each and every one of us - suffer from! Again, I ask: What if there is really a God existing out there - how relevant is that God to human happiness or to human joys, or indeed, to human affairs? Indeed, "God Bless You" message does not mean a damn thing. Whether you are rich or poor. Tall or short. fat or thin. Black or white. Asian or American or African or European - you will always be a victim of some kind of trouble in this sick world specially as God has blessed you. Poch Suzara

OK, I Want to Serve God

I want to serve God. Now where do I go to start serving God? Do I go here? Do I go there? Do I go everywhere as I am told that God is everywhere?

Isn't it possible that by the time I begin to serve God here, or serve God there, or serve God everywhere I will already be so sick and tired
and insane just to be able to find first his exact whereabouts??

Now we are told that God gifted all of us with a free will. That's fine and dandy. Indeed, we have the free will to choose our friends; but where is our free will to
choose our family?

Please don't me wrong. I am happy and proud of my mother, father, grandparents, and sisters and son and daughter and wife, and cousins, uncles, and aunties. As a matter of fact, I love my family. However, I have neither love nor affection for a silly mystery otherwise more known as divinity. Poch Suzara

Filipino Endless Suffering

Millions upon million of devout and faithful believers have always offered their endless suffering on this earth in the Philippines to God in heaven.

Genesis 1:28-31

My dear reader please read carefully and critically Genesis 2:28 -31

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

In Gen. 1:28 God instructs man to do 5 things: Have Dominion, be Fruitful, Multiply, Replenish, and Subdue!

Dominion: He has given man the power to rule on earth,which mean we should rule our circumstances and not let them rule us.

Be Fruitful: be productive! Produce desired results! Our lives should make a difference in the earth.

Multiply: Produce after our own kind. To bring increase! To usher in the next generation. To spread good in the earth.

Replenish: to fill or refill, to provide whatever is lacking. You have the answer to somebody else problems.

Subdue: To conquer! To walk in victory in every area of your life!

What, however, God and His inspired silly authors ignored to mention in Genesis is the existence germs, viruses, and bacteria. Such little monsters, trillions of them, living inside the body of every living thing, especially in the human body have the real destructive power and the real deadly dominion over all living things.

We are all born Equal

"Virtually all religions rely upon early childhood indoctrination as the prime infection strategy." Darrel Ray. . . Indeed, We are all born with no religion. That is a truth no one can deny. After all, we are all born sane equally. We are all born as atheists. No child is born having faith in any religion. . . Sadly, however, due to circumstances beyond the control of our free will, we do not grow up as equally sane. We are raised and educated to be insane Christians, or insane Muslims, or insane Jews - all hating one another while making a mockery of the truth that as innocent babies coming out of mother's womb - we were all equally sane as unbelievers of stupid faith. . .

Dear Boys and Girls, May I request to please seriously consider and indeed appreciate God's mysterious ways! God has never been disappointed with me because I never went against his divine plan to make me an atheist? If God was being evil about this, why blame me? Why not blame God or his cohort - the devil? Perhaps, you are miserably disappointed with the devil who obviously was quite a success in convincing God to grant me the free will to be an atheist? Nevertheless, thanks to God's power, God made me an atheist.

"Fear God, and you will have nothing else to fear." Philippine Star, November 3,2010.
This is timidity to promote nothing but social insanity for the sake of a silly divinity.

Listen to Bertrand Russell: "Fear generates impulses of cruelty, and therefore promotes such superstitious beliefs as seem to justify cruelty. Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of great fear... Many a man will have the courage to die in battle, but will not have the courage to say, or even to think, that the cause for which he is asked to die is an unworthy one." Poch Suzara

Quality of Life

The silly religious morons of this world attach more importance to the quantity of life for the sake of a malevolent divinity rather than the quality of life for the sake of benevolent humanity.

Atheists Make a Difference

We atheists know and accept that a different world cannot be built by people who are indifferent. That is why, we atheists are trying to make a difference. The purpose of life is not only to be happy, but also to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate, to stand for something; not to kneel down to nothing. We, humans must make the difference. Especially for the sake of this world. Our world. Otherwise, we would have very little reason to have lived at all. Poch Suzara

Purpose to Life

Indeed, fear and guilt must give way to joy and liberty. Ignorance must bow before knowledge. Superstition must retreat before reason. We must realize that civilization of the world belongs to man and that we are part owners. We must insist on keeping our shares safe for those who will follow us.

With love in our hearts, let us stand on our own feet, accept responsibility for our own actions, and solve our own problems without needlessly confusing the issues with meaningless words, and primitive, destructive, doctrines.

If there be a purpose to life, that purpose must be to leave this world, our world, a little better than we found it, or there is little reason for our having lived. Poch Suzara

Listen to this Prayer

“Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.” Why couldn’t Mary just talk to her son Jesus doing nothing in heaven, to stop fucking around,and to get cracking on earth? Or talk to the Father of Jesus, her own husband - God, to stop all these fucking stupid prayers and just begin solving the human problems of the human world? After all, she herself is a human being gifted with a free will also??? What kind of a silly woman is Mary as a woman, a mother to her son, and as a wife to her husband? And by the way, what’s the big deal about good for nothing virgins mindlessly existing in paradise? Poch Suzara

Why We Filipinos are poor

To me, we Filipinos have always been poor and will continue to remain poor simply because of our poor system of education.

In our schools, colleges, and universities - we Filipinos are still taught how to have faith in our poor upbringing, poor nutrition, poor values, poor beliefs, poor ideas, poor ideals, poor sense for social sanity, poor sense of national identity, and poor spirit towards life in this world. Our world. The only world we know. Poch Suzara

Killing

Kill one man, you are a murderer. Kill millions, you are a conqueror. Kill all, you are a God.

Indeed, ours have always been and still is a childish, a sick, if not a stupid, - religion. Poch Suzara

The Fear of Death

Atheist Mark Twain rationally dismissed the fear of death. He clearly wrote: “I do not fear death. I have been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

For my part, as an atheist myself, let me put it in this way: for billions of years before I was born, I was existing as a nothing. Now why should it bother me to realize that after I am dead, I will again be existing as a nothing?

Life after death? I say – fuck that shit - dead as it is! Poch

It is incredible how God is so cold-blooded in perfection, so lost for more admiration, so hungry for more glorification, and so childish for more veneration, not to mention so sick for more adoration.

In the meantime, under such destruction, God is nowhere to be found each time we need him even for a little restoration, nay, a little earthly salvation.

Reality

No matter who or what or where we are, male or female, poor or rich, married or single, atheistic, Asiatic, or just plain pathetic, bucolic, or even jesuitic as a catholic – each and everyone one of us, whether we like it or not, are the victims of mockery as generated by reality. Consider:

Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it.

Life terrestrially everywhere is all about such reality – birth, growth, death, and decay. It's all so mindless, directionless, not to mention utterly meaningless. Purposeless.

Short and brief and fleeting as life is, I would rather look into the Greek spirit of the ancient world: To find life beautiful and delightful to live in was the mark of a Greek spirit.

In the meantime, enlightenment is not something to achieve. It is something to experience. Poch Suzara

Poverty, Stupidity, Insanity as the Holy Trinity

Satan took Jesus to a mountaintop and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory in them, saying: “All these things I will give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me.” Matt. 4:8-9. . . Was Jesus such a mediocre fellow, a simpleton, gullible enough not to have questioned Satan? When and how did Satan acquire the legal rights and the Torren Titles registered to those kingdoms of the world?. . . In the meantime, think how well Jesus could have served as the king of kings. As the emperor of the world. Think of the brilliant and loving things he could have made happen with such power, could have ruled with such great authority. He could have created a social system to remedy poverty. Done much to equalize wealth. Established universal education. Instituted civil liberties. Brought peace among warring nations. He could done all this and, through such service, established global peace, tranquility, and sanity. He could have gone down in world history as not only the most powerful, but also the most wise, the most just, the most kind, and the most humane king that ever graced the human race. . . But no. Jesus, instead, declared: “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.” John 2:15. . . Thus, poverty and stupidity and insanity are one and the same holy trinity otherwise more known as Christianity; especially in the Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century.

Life With God in the Philippines

Let’s seriously look at the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia. In this already 21st, our country remains poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, infantile politically, insane socially, inefficient scientifically, and directionless nationally. In our schools, colleges, and universities, we are all taught to have faith in God who so “loved the world (the Philippines) that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. In the Christian religion, however, is a strong message that rewards poverty, sickness, thoughtlessness, or anything that would put one in an inferior status. By the same token, self-esteem, self-reliance, competence, or anything that would put one in a superior status is belittled. God loves the humble, the meek, the inferior; but He is jealous of the self-sufficient. We Filipinos must never be self-sufficient lest we offend God. We must always play the role of the inferior and in turn, for living a submissive, mindless, frightened life is the promise that if we were good, especially good for nothing, we shall be rewarded later by God in heaven. Since the 16th century, we have faithfully believed in Jesus, the Son of God, who preached: “Love not this world, ( the Philippines), neither the things that are in the world. If any man (Filipino) love the world, the love of the Father is not with him.” John 2:15 Christianity has had every opportunity to straighten out the mess in the Philippines, and yet, in this already 21st century, our country is only getting into a deeper mess - socially, politically, and economically. We seek drama and excitement. When we do not get satisfaction on some level, we create for ourselves the drama of destruction. We are a nation of frightened believers. We have yet to seriously grasp the full impact of what it means to grow as a people and to mature as a nation. Corruption, hypocrisy, and indifference to truth are our national defects. It is incredible how so old a religion as Christianity should devote its influence to keeping the Philippines with no standard of honesty; only a standard for corruption. We solve our corruption problem with prayer only to find ourselves even more corrupt with more problems. Meanwhile, we are told again and again that God’s answers are wiser than our prayers. In China, they have Chinese Gods. In India, they have Indian Gods. In Japan, they have Japanese Gods. In Malaysia, they have Malaysian Gods. In Indonesia, they have Indonesian Gods. But in the Philippines, however, we have no Filipino Gods. We have, instead, a Jewish God. As if we Filipinos have anything to do whatsoever with the God of the Jewish people in Israel – a foreign land. In the meantime, today, if you try to give a bible to a Jew in Israel you can be arrested. Even an act of kindness by a Christian toward a Jew, such as giving a gift of food, can be interpreted as trying to convert the Jew to Christianity and can bring a 5 year prison sentence. Now let’s take a closer look at Christianity in the Philippines. Let’s see where it has taken us as the only Christian country in Asia. To those capable of thought, it is so obvious that Christianity strives on guilt. Guilt, not love, is what Christianity is all about. For all of its alleged concern for the “poor in spirit,” Christianity does it best to generate spiritual poverty under social insanity. Indeed, Christianity has been quite a success in our country. In exchange for obedience, we have been promised salvation in the afterlife. In order, however, to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity sees to it that we need salvation or that there is something to be “saved” from. It is, in this way, that we have been educated to believe that we are sinful and worthless in the face of God; or that we Filipinos are potential fuel for the flames in hell. Thus, Christianity destroys reason before it introduces faith, so it must also destroy our potential for growth and maturity so that we can value the concept of salvation – indeed, the so-called “better life to come after death in the kingdom of God.” No doubt, we all want to go to heaven. So how come none of us want to die? Christianity has had vested interest in misery in our country. Of course, it is not called “misery.” It is not even called “suffering.” Instead, Christianity prefers to call it “sacrifices” in this life so that benefits may be won in the hereafter. Through the notion that “sacrifice” is a virtue, Christianity has succeeded in convincing all of us that misery experienced through “sacrifice” is a mark of virtue. Social and political and economic misery become the reflection of morality – and conversely, growth as people and maturity as a nation become the reflection of immorality. Christianity does not preach - “Go forth and be poor and miserable.” Rather, it says, “Go forth and practice the virtues of self-sacrifice.” In the meantime, the richest, most powerful bank in the world is the Vatican bank. Its cash deposits are in the trillions of dollars. Here are samples of inspired messages published daily in the Philippines. It is about the “virtues of self-sacrifice,” if not about being “poor in spirit.” They are also about what our education has been traditionally rooted upon – the preparation for immortality rather than the preparation for the responsibility of well-informed citizenry: Nothing can compare the love of God. To see Jesus will be heaven’s greatest joy. Work that are done out of love for Jesus shines brightest in a dark world. When Christ is the center of your focus, all else will come into proper perspective. For the Christian, heaven is spelled H-O-M-E. Each small step of faith is a giant step in growth. The primary reason for living in this world is to reflect the likeness of Christ. God’s truth uncovers Satan’s lies. God’s answers are wiser than our prayers. A heart in tune with God sings melodies of praise. Worry is a burden God never intended us to bear. We are more precious to Jesus than the costliest diamond. The Christian’s race is not a competitive event but an endurance run. Patience means awaiting God’s time without doubting God’s love In the meantime, here are words from one of the greatest men this world has ever produced. He happens to be our national hero – Jose Rizal - the greatest of Filipino thinkers. He was publicly executed by Christianity in 1896 in the Philippines. In exact opposite of what Christianity teaches, Jose Rizal simply wrote: “I would like the Filipino people to become worthy, noble, and honorable.” In clear view of the reality that human consciousness shapes a nation, I ask: where are the schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines that seriously teach Filipinos how to become worthy, noble, and honorable? Indeed, where are the Filipinos educated to achieve the greatest kind of freedom for our country – the freedom from the evils of religion? Poch Suzara

I was Told

I was told again and again that God's answers are wiser than our prayers. It is for this reason that I ceased praying to God like I did faithfully daily and nightly. I was then such a religiously frightened dumbstruck moron. Poch Suzara

The Devil In Charge of Hell

So hell is such a miserable and a terrible place for damned souls to suffer punishment forever and ever. But how come the devil is most happy, if not always joyful, in fact quite a success as God’s chief administrator of hell? Indeed, the devil properly sees to it that hell is a hot, well-lighted, well-managed place for God’s sake on earth as it is for His glory in heaven. Poch Suzara

Sick Bullshit

In this sick country of ours, as we are, indeed, the Sick Man of Asia, Philippine Star newspaper has the sick gall to publish this more of the same divine sick bullshit: GOD'S GRACE IS IMMEASURABLE; HIS MERCY INEXHAUSTIBLE; HIS PEACE INEXPRESSIBLE. (Sept. 5, 2020). Why don't we add something more truthful - GOD'S CRUELTY IS DESPICABLE PERPETUALLY. Look how God keeps the devil still pretty much alive and kicking enjoying his FREE WILL. Poch Suzara

Born Ignorant, Not Stupid

For the most part, school, colleges, and universities are places where students are frightened to accept answers to questions that they have not even raised. Thus, we are a nation of frightened believers; hardly a nation of courageous thinkers. We are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education. Poch Suzara

Human Happiness

For my part, I have found more peace of mind, indeed,happiness while writing my thoughts to provoke your thoughts in my Blogspot than, say, having a sexual relationship with a women while praying to God r than just relating with others has encouraged me to ppy life; especially one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Oh yes, when we are in love, we want to tell the whole world about it. My Blogspot is a personal statement in how exactly I have been deeply in love while enjoying happiness in this life on this earth. Poch Suzara

God Not Needed

In his new book - "The Grand Design" - British Physicist and Mathematician Stephen says God is not needed for creating the universe. Hawking writes: "Because there is a law, such as gravity, Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist." I entirely agree. If there is a God, however, what we need him for is to straighten the religious mess out of this world often bloody in his name down here for his glory up there. After all, God may have created this world, but the devil has been it chief maintenance and keeps it going. Poch Suzara

Global Sanity

In this already 21st century, if we were to enjoy global sanity, we must all begin to realize and accept the fact that churches, cathedrals, mosques, temples, synagogues, and pagodas have always been and still are nothing but monuments to human stupidity.
If, indeed, God is everywhere, why do we need to hate and kill each other just to prove to each other that God is everywhere? Poch Suzara

We Filipinos

Indeed, if we Filipinos were to gain some ground in the race to achieve a higher standard of living and thinking - what we Filipinos need and need desperately is more intelligent science and sensible technology. We need no more silly prayer and stupid theology for the glory of a mindless divinity. Poch Suzara

If there is no God

If there is no God, why bother to be good? As a matter of fact, there is no God. That is why we have no other recourse but to be good; especially to be good not for nothing, but to be good for something. Otherwise, there is little reason for our having lived. Poch Suzara

Sex Education

Sex education in our schools, colleges, and universities? What a ridiculous proposal. Parents at home, teachers in schools, professors in colleges and universities must first acquire sex education themselves. How can they educate our youth on the subject of sex, and the greater knowledge of the nature of sex, in all its complexity, when they themselves have been deprived of sex education when they were acquiring so-called education in our schools, colleges, and universities?

Stupid and Blind

Jesus declared: “But those mine enemies which would not that I reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.” Luke 19:27

Well for a Filipino like me - to slay the enemies of a Jewish son of a Jewish God so that he will reign in countries like the Philippines – no way should I be silly to do such a silly thing. Not even for the sake of gaining a silly life everlasting. I refuse to be stupid and blind especially stupid in blind faith. Poch Suzara

Conscience

Conscience is merely the combined product of evolution and education. Obviously it is an absurdity to follow your conscience when reason tells you that you are the sick product not of evolution, not of healthy kind of education, but sick via revelation. -` Poch Suzara

Atheists and Reason

We atheists have no faith; in fact, we have reason. Atheist do not believe in absurdities that encourages other atheists to commit atrocities. Indeed, have you ever heard of atheists hating and killing other atheists because they not believe in the existence of God? The Christians, the Jews, and the Muslims have not ceased hating and cutting each others' throats because to begin with, they all cannot agree as to what will happen to them after their throats have been cut. Poch Suzara

The Leading Cause of Death

Indeed, the leading cause of death in this world has always been God himself. Look at the day we are born. It is the day we begin to live in a dying body. There are more disease micro-organisms existing inside our body during birth than there are people on this planet.

In this connection, I entirely agree with Bertrand Russell. he wrote: "Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to end, nor do thought and love lose their values because they are not everlasting." Poch Suzara

Scientific Materialism

We need not be troubled that science is materialistic. The materialism of science asserts its limits, not its universality. Its consistency of intelligibility; not
the perpetuity of stupidity.

The methods and scope of science remain within the world of matter. Anything outside matter is the business of silly religion – a euphemism for superstition. Poch Suzara

The Will to Believe

Bertrand Russell wrote: “What is wanted is not the will to believe; but the wish to find out which is the exact opposite.”

Indeed, if we refuse the will to find out which is the opposite, we will end up at best shallow-minded; but at worst – gullible, if not faithfully blinded. Poch Suzara

Far More Precious

Many people are so grateful to God for having been gifted With a “free will.” Unfortunately, these same people do not give a damn about something that is even
far more precious – having a “free mind.” Indeed, a free mind that’s able to formulate a powerful thought in order to change the useless ways of our world for
something more useful. Poch Suzara

Serendipity and Zemblanity

Serendipity is the unexpected discovery of something wonderful not sought for. However, I love and enjoy more the opposite known as zemblanity – the unexpected discovery of something deplorable not sought for. There are more lessons to learn
from zemblanity than there is from serendipity. Poch Suzara

Morality for the Atheists

According to Jesus, to be moral, a man must abandon his reason. He must force himself to believe that which he cannot understand. He must suppress, in the name of morality, any doubts that surface in his mind. He must regard as a mark of excellence an unwillingness to scrutinized religious beliefs to critical examination. Less scrutiny leads to more faith – and faith, Jesus declares, is the highest of virtues. Indeed, “unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 18:3). Children, after all, are gullible. They will believe almost anything. Well, we Atheists have a better sense of morality. Ours is not a deadly, but a lively way of life. We do good because it is the decent thing to do, and not because we will be rewarded later in heaven after death. To begin with, there is no such thing as life after death. Indeed, atheism is not the destruction of morality; it is the destruction of superstitious morality. Likewise, atheism is not the destruction of the joys in life; it is the destruction of the belief that the joys in life can only be achieved in another world. Atheism brings these ideas down to earth, within the reach of man’s mind and heart for the sake of living the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Atheism is not a mental disease; it is restored mental health – the greatest of man’s wealth - especially in a world gone mad with organized religions. Poch Suzara

It is Incredible

It is, indeed, incredible how many people believe that God is all-mighty, all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present, all-loving, and all-just, all-merciful, etc.

And yet, when they are confronted by an individual like me who does not believe in the existence of such a God – they immediately believe that I am either inane or insane; if not someone deplorable or despicable; or that I am a liar, a selfish moron, or some sort of a criminal.

They forget that atheism is a personal and a private matter. If there is a God – he should reveal himself directly to me via the Revealed Truth, and not revealed to me
by the theologians who never know not whatever they are talking about. Poch Suzara

Higher Power

No doubt, there exist a higher power. It does not, however, exist somewhere up out there. It exists right down here. It is known as the “human mind.”

Unfortunately, the human mind is the very first thing that’s mutilated, if not crippled during basic education. Especially contorted, if not twisted, to believe
in a lot of holy baloney. Poch Suzara

Infantilism

No one, but no one has the right to tell you what is the meaning or purpose of life. It should be your own responsibility, nay, your own adventure to discover for yourself such values. There is something feeble, indeed, a little contemptible about the presumption that somebody else (parents as in the case of children), (teachers as in the case of students), (ministers as in the case of followers), and indeed, (God as in the case of adults), has the responsibility to give your life meaning or purpose. Unless, of course, even if as you are already a grown-up man or woman you still wish to keep enjoying infantile pursuits for the rest of your life. Life is hard; but knowing not how to live your own life is not only harder, but useless especially if it is devoid of self-direction stuck with indecision. Poch Suzara

First Cause Bullshit

If God was the first cause of everything and God Himself was part of that everything – who or what caused God to exist? Here, however, is a deeper question: who or what is God? Where did God come from? Since there was a "nothing" before creation, how did God manage to exist as a nothing before He created everything? Poch Suzara

A Cosmic Joke

I was born an atheist. I shall die an atheist. Now what if it turns out that I am wrong? What if God does exists. Well, I have no objection, no qualms about it, whatsoever.

My problem would be if God turns out to be a Catholic, or Christian, or a Jew, a Muslim, or a Hindu, or a Tao, or what have you. I will never believe or have faith in such a mindless, heartless, and indeed - a good for nothing God - a worthless supernatural being.

Never, I will I ever love, worship, and adore a God created by men in their own silly image and silly likeness. All the great men and decent women I have met in world history never bothered to create such a silly monster called "God." Poch Suzara

IF YOU steal small, you land in jail. If you steal big, you immediately qualify to run as a candidate for an elective government position. And when in government, if you steal bigger, you are promoted to a higher government position. In the meantime, look at the ongoing investigation of crimes committed by public officials. The investigation is not being done by policemen or by NBI agents, but by fellow criminals in or out of the same corrupt government.

What on Earth is an Atheist

An atheist is one who creatively enjoys not the freedom OF religion, but the freedom FROM religion; especially as religion is mostly about fear and guilt to always morally and to financially support organized superstition. Now what exactly have we atheists to offer in exchange after we demolish superstition off people’s lives? Only this - we offer the return of the most priceless treasure stolen away from you during education: your own precious mind and heart; especially as a human being that you may learn to have more love and compassion for the rest of humankind not for what she is at present but for what humankind has the great potential to become in the future. Before he died at the age of 97, Bertrand Russell, mathematician, logician, a philosopher, and an atheist, wrote: “I cannot believe that this is to be the end. I would have men forget their quarrels for a moment and reflect that, if they allow themselves to survive, there is every reason to expect the triumphs of the future to exceed immeasurably the triumphs of the past. There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? I appeal, as a human being to human beings: remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death.” Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Letter to the Editors

Dear Editors,

Let's face it. Everything is a failure in the Philippines; except Christianity.
Faith in God is the only thing that's quite a traditional success in our country. Indeed, the only Christian country in Asia that remains poor spiritually, backward morally, infantile politically, silly culturally, empty historically, insane socially, bankrupt economically, and faithful criminally. Yours faithfully, Poch Suzara

Singapore and Metro Manila

Both are about the same size in land area. And yet, the population of Singapore
is 5 million people with a per capita income of $19,000 a year.

Metro Manila has a population of 12 million people with a per capita income of $1,750 a year.

In the meantime, we have religious morons in our sick society that continue to insist that we have no population problem in the Philippines; and, that our poverty is mainly due to our lack of spirituality, our lack of devotion to divinity, and our lack of faith in Christianity. All as a deadly result due to our lack of bible study as a daily necessity to be always in touch with our sense of loyalty for Christian piety.

I said it before, I say it again. In the Philippines there is nothing evil about embracing, perpetually, human stupidity. After all, human stupidity in our
blessed by God sick society is as everlasting as eternity. Poch Suzara

The Greatest Evil

An un-wanted pregnancy a great evil; but an un-wanted child is a greater evil. The greatest evil of all, however, is to be pro-stupidity when it comes to the necessity and the beauty of creating for ourselves a sane and a healthy society.

Our women produce three babies every minute of the day in the Philippines. That’s about 1.5 million babies added to our population yearly. Many of these babies are un-wanted by their mother or father. In fact, these un-wanted babies grow up a bit and then they are killed with ill-health, dirty sanitation, and malnutrition, if not mentally crippled by poisonous education.

If only our schools, colleges, and universities teach girls and boys that a hard intellectual ejaculation is much more creative or productive than easy sexual penetration - ours need not be a sick and an insane society. Poch Suzara

Filipino Economic Bullshit

There are already more than 15,000,000 Filipinos residing and working today in some 168 foreign countries. Indeed, in the Philippines, out of every one job available there are more than 100 applicants applying for that job. And the wages offered are, as usual, pathetic. Just like working for any employer who is a “me first” greedy lunatic. In the meantime, I have yet to see Filipino economists working not for their employer’s greed, but working by protecting and defending the employee’s needs. If they are unable to do so, the least they can do is to start proclaiming that our population growth is not fruitful, but fruitless in our struggle for equality via national economic prosperity. In our country where the rich minority get richer, and the poor majority get poorer, I ask: what the fuck are you Filipino college-educated economists doing to remedy the national bullshit otherwise more known as GOD BLESS YOU or GOD BLESS the insane economic system traditional in the Philippines? Poch Suzara

Historical Stupidity

We Filipinos, indeed, are quite spiritual as a people. In this already 21st century, we still have faith in the recycled failures that generate our sick society. But we have more faith in the success of Christianity as the traditional way of life in our country since the 16th century.

In the meantime, in our schools, colleges, and universities we have been seriously taught to believe that it comes to new and fresh ideas, we must only remain frightened. We must never be brightened. Thus, our recycled failures as a sick society; while we enjoy holding on to our endless blind faith in more of the same old historical stupidity.

Look how we Filipinos in deep faith only love God up there by hating one another down here. We are even so busy with nothing except fucking each other for the glory of God in heaven so that as our population increases we will have more Filipinos to
hate for the same glory of God in heaven.

In the meantime, when one Filipino suffers from a delusion, it is called "insanity." When, however, millions of Filipinos suffer from the same delusion - it is known as having faith in "Christianity."

As for me, happily, openly, and publicly, I thank God that I am a faithful atheist. Poch Suzara

Religious Men and Women

Religious men and women are almost always people with a high sense of guilt and anxiety. Indeed, a sense of worthlessness as human beings for they can never, in
the nature of things, live up to the “perfection” that is demanded of them by their faith in God.

Indeed, guilt is an immensely power weapon. If a teacher makes you feel that there is something is wrong with you, then that teacher has gained a psychological ascendancy over your way of life.

“Be ye perfect as your father in heaven is perfect,” is an example of a command which is psychologically meaningless. It induces the feeling of guilt and anxiety for not being perfect.

“Oh Lord have mercy upon us miserable sinners.” What better way could be devised
to make men and women vulnerable to mind control? To be obedient? To be faithful?
To be fearful? Indeed, to be religiously dumbstruck?

As for me, an atheist, I would rather attach more value to what Bertrand Russell said: “No one is perfect and we should never be bothered by the fact that we are not.” Poch Suzara

Our Infantile System of Education

Take a good look at our Television industry. Movie industry. Media industry. Priesthood industry. Public Service industry. Law Enforcement industry. Society in general. Look how we are all educated to enjoy life only by singing, dancing, drinking, smoking, playing, shouting, kicking, jumping, fighting, laughing, crying, kissing, fooling, cheating, lying, violating, mocking, joking, bragging, negating, fearing, parroting, imitating, faking, corrupting, polluting, borrowing, bribing, hating, downgrading, fecundating, mating, prostituting, impregnating, ignoring, escaping, praying, sinning and, indeed - forgiving. But never must we ever enjoy life by thinking. Indeed, we have been taught to seriously believe that thinking is evil - the way of the devil. It will prevent our winning eternal salvation in heaven, by gaining eternal damnation in hell. And that is how, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos continue to be not the rich masters, but the poor and stupid victims of an infantile system of education. Poch Suzara

GOD AS AN AMATEUR CREATOR

God was such as an amateur in the creation profession when he created Adam and Eve. They had no roof over their heads. No bed to sleep on. No blanket. no pillows. No deodorant. No sanitary napkins.

No mode of transportation to travel around. No school to go to. No teacher. Indeed, no father and mother to love. No grandma and grandpa to love even more.

Travel and Divorce

In his great book – THE PLEASURES OF PHILOSOPHY, Will Durant wrote: “Divorce is like travel. It is useless if one cannot change.” Well, I have met a lot of “single mothers.” They have traveled and are now living in foreign countries. They have, however, found no reason to change. They have not learned to be rich in spirit, but remained poor in spirit. They are still on the look out for a richer dick, not for the sake of a richer sexual satisfaction, but for richer cash payment that goes along with it. With fake romance they usually succeed. They still hold that love, passion, affection, and compassion have only to do with for sale fecundation or for hire copulation as a more profitable kind of vocation. Happily, there are richer dicks out there ready and willing to offer to them the necessary remuneration for the sake of their temporary carnal satisfaction. And then a bye-bye, good riddance situation. To think that quite a few of these tuti-fruti-patuties known as “single mothers” have acquired "college education.” Worthless as it is in the struggle to achieve the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

Where Our Country is Today

I should wish that we Filipino writers would begin to deal more, without fear, with what is really keeping us Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and the Philippines morally backward as a nation.

Consider a deeper horror: everything is a FAILURE in our country. Except Christianity. It has been and still is the one and only great SUCCESS in the Philippines.

We Filipinos couldn't care less about our sins, crimes, corruption, prostitution,
poverty, mediocrity, ill-health, lack of sanitation, social insanity, political stupidity, economic depravity, and indeed, the horrors of our population explosion.

Under Christian values and beliefs, in this already 21st century, all that we care about is God's promise of a better life to come after we are all dead to start to enjoy eternal salvation in his so-called kingdom of heaven. Poch Suzara

Indeed, the truth hurts; but lies are far more damaging and can last for a thousand years. In the Philippines, since the 16th century, we can clearly see today the lies of Christianity and the damage it has done to our country socially, politically,
culturally, and economically. We Filipinos continue to be losing in the human race for civilization. We are only winning in the rat-race for eternal salvation. Poch Suzara

How not to be Lonely

All I have to do is to live the way you want me to live. Believe the way you want me to believe. Be a follower. Be poor in spirit. Be faithful. Never mind being thoughtful. Never mind the power of reason. Just hold on to faith. Just be closed-minded. Never mind being open-minded. Never mind the necessity of living my own life. I should just let others decide how I should live. I should just love and worship divinity. Never mind thinking. Just do a lot of praying. I must only believe as true the word of God written in the bible. I should stop reading it critically. Judiciously. I should only obey bible authority. And live my life always in fear of deviltry. To accept as all true the promises of the priesthood industry. That I must only look forward to a better life to come after death. Never mind man's most noble of occupation - the search of the truth. Never mind the only home we have - this planet earth. Never mind trying to put beauty into our world where nature has put only horror. There is more beauty in the kingdom of God to come after death. After all, Jesus loves me. If I do follow these things, never will I be ever lonely again. Well, I say, no way. I rather be lonely than be a thoughtless individual for the rest of life. Soon, I will be dead too. And it is better to acknowledge the fact that we die not partially; but entirely. Indeed, nothing is more natural and more simple than to see that a dead man lives no more. He has no more circulation, respiration, digestion, speech or reflection. Nothing is more absurd than to believe that a dead man somewhere out there is still alive. As if there is such a thing as a hereafter since there never was, for any of us, for million of years before our birth, a herebefore. Sleep in a morsel of death, a temporary experience of peace or sanity. Death, however, is the end of one's life for all eternity. The joy of life is nonetheless a joy because it must come to an end, nor do love and thought lose their value because they are not everlasting. For as long as I live, I shall continue to enjoy intellectual freedom on this earth. I shall continue to struggle for human decency. I would rather be on the side of meaningful humanity and to hell with meaningless divinity. What other great purpose is there in life? I would rather have a reason to have lived and and try to leave this world one day a better place than how I found it. Not necessarily in the material, but indeed, in the humanitarian sense. In his great book COSMOS scientist/atheist Carl Sagan wrote: "The Cosmos may be densely populated with intelligent beings. But the Darwinian lesson is clear: There will be no humans elsewhere. Only here. Only in this small planet. We are a rare as well as an endangered species. Everyone of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will find another." Poch Suzara
