God, Faith, and Silly Religion

The Catholic church used to win their arguments by putting to death the atheists, agnostics, heretics, and thinkers like our own Jose Rizal in the Philippines. The survival of religion depended not upon the existence of a wonderful God, but precisely also the existence of the despicable devil. In the meantime, I say it before, I say it again, if God existed and He cared for the existence of humankind, He never would have gifted us human with faith, especially to have faith in religion. Faith is worthless. Belief in a stupid religion is even more worthless. In the ultimate analysis, freedom FROM religion is always better, always more sane, than the silly freedom OF religion! After all, not life after birth, but only life after death has more to do with religion and therefore what the fuck is there anything to worry about after we are all dead! Poch Suzara

God and the Devil

An atheist does not believe in the existence of God. An atheist does not believe as well in the existence of the devil. Why not? After all, both supernatural beings are one and the same fictitious characters. Both are always in cahoots with each other. Both were created by frightened, if not dumbstruck religious morons - otherwise more known as the "inspired authors" of the silly holy bible. For my part, I always enjoyed reading the silly holy bible. It gave birth, growth, and maturity to my being a proud and a happy atheist. Poch Suzara

Life and Death as a Disease

Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent." - R. D. Laing Isn't it glaringly obvious, if not alarmingly transparent, that in the business of propagating the human species and replenishing the earth, fathers, especially mothers have never been the masters, but precisely the victims of sexual activities? In the meantime, there is no cure for the disease called "life." There is even no cure for the disease called "death." Oh well, whichever. We might as well enjoy the sick journey. After all, we all equally share a common doom together - our sick destination into the unknown. In the meantime, those who desire "immortality" have yet to face the fact that they desire nothing more than the eternity of stupidity; especially as again it will be inspired by the same old silly divinity always in cahoots with the same old silly deviltry.

Imagination

Imagination is far more precious than intelligence; especially when it visualizes liberty as far more servicial than divinity. Poch Suzara

Insanity and Genuis

The distance between insanity and genius is measured by success. The struggle for success, however, pretty much characterizes the failures of a sick society with sick values and sick beliefs. Poch Suzara

Fear of Death

I have no fear of death whatsoever. I already experienced death millions of years before I was born. I am now approaching the end of my life on this earth. I thank God I am sill an atheist. As an atheist I have no buried hatred against religion. I am on top of it openly and publicly and fearlessly.

Things being equal, however, I love common sense, common honesty, common human decency, and especially the search of the truth. That is why I am happy and proud that I was never qualified to be a theologian defending the corrupt church or a politician protecting the corrupt government. Poch Suzara

Books on Fiction

In my personal library are books on science and philosophy, indeed, books on fiction. I also enjoy, however, reading and studying the greatest book on fiction of all time - the HOLY BIBLE.

Bertrand Russell concluded. I entirely agree with him: "All human knowledge is uncertain, inexact, and partial." Indeed, science is never dogmatic; it is never definite. Science is always tentative and subject to change with newer or better evidences.

Religion, however, has always been and still based upon the belief of nothing reduced to a theological system. Poch Suzara

Superstition of the Filipino Mind

The last superstition of the Filipino mind is the superstitious belief that CHRISTIANITY has plenty to do with making the Filipino the most prosperous and healthiest people; and, the Philippines, - the wealthiest, the sanest, the cleanest, and the strongest among all the nations in all of Asia today in this already 21st century.

What is an Agnostic

An agnostic is an atheist who has lost his courage to speak up or has lost his guts to stand up for his intelligent doubts. Poch Suzara

Knowledge and Faith

Where knowledge, ends Faith begins. Sadly, faith is just another sacred word that hides human stupidity that makes us totally blind to see the historical horrors of
our sick society. Poch Suzara

Love of life in this world

I arrived into this world as a stranger. I should wish, however, to leave this world one day as a friend; especially on the side of humanity endlessly struggling against stupid free will of deviltry as gifted by a silly divinity. Poch Suzara

Destuctive Forces of Nature

Typhoon, earthquake, tsunami, tornado, flood, famine, pestilence, epidemic, etc, are destructive forces of nature. But the most destructive force in all of nature is human stupidity. Especially in the Philippines as inspired by the power of Christianity. In most of our schools, colleges, and universities - it is still being taught during our formative years that there is a better world to come after we are dead. Therefore the love of country here or the love of fellow-citizens now is not that important or precious as the love we must always have for Jesus - the Savior of the Filipinos.

For my part, as an atheist, I say it does not matter whether we believe in the existence of God or not. After all, since the 16th century, in all of our troubles as a people and our problems as a nation in this already 21st century God has never been omni-present. He is only always omni-absent.

The Power of Fear

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. Bertrand Russell I entirely agree. I would like to add, however, that sadly, in our schools, colleges, and universities, we were taught to believe not in the power of thinking but to have faith only in the power of believing. It is otherwise more known as "free will." Especially to obey God's Will whom we pray to daily to lead us not into temptation. And also that we may pray to Mary, Mother of God, to "pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen." In the meantime, I ask: when both God and his Mother Mary endlessly praying to each other, they are out to accomplish WHAT? Poch Suzara

What If I am Wrong as an Atheist

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

Public Office, Teachers, and Professors

Public office is the last refuge of the incompetent. Teachers in school, professors in college are those who have been intellectually crippled. They are no longer able to learn any deeper or higher. All, however, are the corrupt result of the corrupt system of education in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Life and Death

"I believe that when I die I shall rot, and nothing of my ego will survive. I am not young, and I love life. But I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is none the less true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting." So wrote Bertrand Russell. As for me, I accept the fact that, right after birth, I began to live in a dying body, and that I am now at the end of my life - short, and brief, and fleeting as life is. I should wish, however, to die without fear. Indeed, those who fear death, fear life. Well, never, should we ever ignore the fact that we only live once; but if we live freely, nobly, fearlessly, and thoughtfully - once is more than enough. In the meantime, a God who creates humans only to live briefly and then perish quickly is a God not worth believing nor respecting. Poch Suzara

Confucius and My School Mates

Ordinary minds talk about people. Average minds talk about events. Great minds talk about ideas. Confucius... I entirely agree. And I feel sad each time I meet my former classmates or schoolmates. They went on to acquire college degrees after I was expelled out of La Salle high school. This was some 60 years ago. Though I managed to enroll in the greatest of all universities - it is but a collection of books. I am happily still enrolled in that university today... Each time, however, I see my former classmates in public or meet them in a private gathering - they prove to me that they are more at ease and comfortable if we only easily talk about people and events... They feel rather sinful if not threatened when I try to talk to them about the power of ideas! Poch Suzara

Truth as a Bigger Crap

Richard Belzer defines The Big Lie, in his book UFOs, JFK, and Elvis: Conspiracies You Don't Have To Be Crazy To Believe, this way: "If you tell a lie that's big enough, and you tell it often enough, people will believe you are telling the truth, even when what you are saying is total crap."

I entirely agree. If, however, we are repeatedly told the truth a thousand times, it becomes a bigger crap. In the first place, the truth does not exist. We are still searching for the truth. It is endless. The search of the truth, however, is man's most noble of profession. Poch Suzara

Christianity in the Philippines

Christianity in the Philippines, since the 16th century, has exactly been like the Manila Cathedral in this already 21st century. Nothing but a monument to human stupidity.

Indeed, thanks to Christianity, we Filipinos have been taught nothing but to be afraid; especially of darkness - moral or physical. Fear has been at the foundation
of our way of life. We have been taught to believe that we will lack something if we have nothing to fear. Indeed, we fear nothing more than having nothing to fear.

Via its thousands of schools, colleges, and universities - Christianity has successfully troubled the Filipino minds and hearts. That is why we Filipinos would readily believe everything and examine nothing. Poch Suzara

The Simple versus the Complex

Intelligent individuals can often simplify the complex. The frightened religious moron is more likely to complexify the simple. It is, in this way, that the frightened religious moron often has the excuse to understand nothing, but be gullible enough to believe everything. Poch
