On Thanksgiving Day

On Thanksgiving Day, I thank guys like you for making me more famous. Thank you for the publicity. I am proud of you for making more and more people listen to what I have been saying all along - the truth can never remain forever submerged. Sooner or later - the TRUTH will emerge. Please keep it up. Thanks to you more and more people are beginning to realize that I am making a lot of sense not only as man, not only as a Filipino, not only as an American, not only as a Spaniard, not only as a La Salle high-school expelled student, but more so, indeed, as an unbeliever of the faith - as an atheist. No doubt, the truth hurts; especially to the frightened saps and indeed, to the religious morons like you are as a college educated jerk. For my part, I love the truth. The truth is a shinning goddess, always veiled, always distant, never wholly approachable, but worthy of pursuit as a lifetime adventure. Poch Suzara

WHAT I LOVE AND WHAT I HATE

With every drop of my blood I hate religion. I detest lies and deception. I reject superstition. I abhor every form of slavery. I oppose falsity, laugh at mediocrity, and I wage war against any school, college, or university that support biblical mendacity, political stupidity, economic perversity, moral bankruptcy, and social insanity.

I love the search of the truth - spirit of free inquiry; especially as it inspires the power of the mind and heart to enhance the beauty of liberty spreading the values of freedom and democracy.

The freedom of religion is malicious; however, far more precious is the freedom away from religion. It is all about the freedom of the mind. There is nothing quite like it in all of nature. Without freedom of the mind all else is shallow, vague, and banal.

These loves and hates will do for today. Tomorrow I may want to love more; and day after tomorrow I may want to hate more. It all depends on how effective we all are in promoting human intelligence down here by rejecting divine malevolence from up there. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russel - a God to me

As a little boy in school, my priest-confessor often told that I am not a perfect being. I should therefore always kneel down and ask God for the forgiveness of my defects. Indeed, that eventual obliteration will be a better situation than my need to seek reconstruction. Bertrand Russell arrived into my life after I was lucky enough to have been expelled out of La Salle high school. He said: “No one is perfect and we should never be bothered by the fact that we are not perfect.” Russell also taught me to question everything including his own ideas and values. He wrote: "It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly." These words have not ceased to stir my mind and heart to this day. If there were ever a thinker I have learned to love and respect – such a thinker was Bertrand Russell. Indeed, Russell saved not my stupid soul; he saved, instead, my intelligent mind. Much to my happiness, it was Bertrand Russell who introduced me to love and respect as well our own great thinker - Jose Rizal. None of my teachers in school taught me to see how great a Filipino humanist/scientists was our own Dr. Jose Rizal Oh Bertrand Russell, whenever you are - thank you for teaching me intellectual courage to face the horrors in nature. And thank you as well for making me realize that our world is infested with religious insanity and political stupidity; and that life is not worth living unless we struggle by declaring war to defeat such horrors - horrors that's keeping our world poor spiritually, backward morally, and fucked economically Poch Suzara

Delusion in Cahoots with Confusion

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. Luke 1:27

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. Rom. 1:3

Jesus, the son of Joseph which was the son of Heli. Luke 33:23

And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus. Matt. 1:6

Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" Matt. 17:5

The beloved son declares: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26

In view of the above biblical complication, is it really that hard to see why as the only Christian country in Asia, we Filipinos are so proud of our delusion as a people and even more so proud of our confusion as a nation? Poch Suzara

System of Learning

Our system of education does not encourage human benevolence; on the contrary, it stultifies the potential for human intelligence. Education is suppose to promote, not demote the power of the human mind; indeed, it is suppose to nourish, not malnourished the beauty of the human heart.

In the Philippines, thanks to our so-called system of learning - we are mainly taught how to be faithful and proud as the Sick Man of Asia. It is, in this way, that we must hold nothing but contempt for those others who have the fearless capacity to think. Indeed, contempt for those others who question what has always been taken for granted in this poor and backward country of ours. Poch Suzara

Medulla Oblongata

The bible says: "Do not be carried about with divers and strange doctrines." Heb. 13:9.

Indeed, be on the look out for Catholic dogma, Presbyterian pigma, and Lutheran hogma, or be the victim of a holy stigma. They are out to severely damage your Medulla Oblongata. Poch Suzara

Sick Man and Sick Woman of Asia

In school, we were taught more about the laws of God than we were inspired to discover the laws of nature and the laws of our land. Indeed, in class, to learn how to be faithful religiously for the rest of our lives. We were taught to mind not how to be well-informed citizens of our country. How to be creative or productive for our growth as a people and for our maturity as a nation.

We hardly had science. The learning of the scientific way of thinking was never encouraged in us during grade school, high school, and in college. Only the learning of more religion based on theology which is the study of the unknowable, if not the pursuit of the mystery. It is no wonder that in the Philippines, as college educated men and women we are all good; unfortunately for our country and its future, all good for nothing.

In the meantime, as the Sick Man and Sick Woman of Asia, life in general in the Philippines can be characterized as the competition to be the criminal or be the victims of the criminal. To think we are products of La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, Letran, UST, Assumption college, Miriam college, University of the Philippines, The Asian institute of Management, etc. etc.

But as Filipinos, why should we care? It has been emphasized during our so-called "education" that we need not love our country, neither to love the natural resources that are in our country. If any Filipino loves his country, the love of God is not in Him. After all, we were all frightened to believe and to have faith that there is a better country to come after death with God in heaven.

I said it before, I say it again: We are not the intelligent masters of education. We are the stupid victims of lies and deception otherwise less known as the "system of indoctrination." Poch Suzara

Sick Holy Bible

I said it before, I say it again: If only readers were more conversant with the sick contents of the sick bible, written by sick authors as inspired by a sick God, you would think of me as a piker, an amateur, a tyro at using so-called "vulgar," "dirty," "gutter," or "sick" language in any debate on the subject of the holy shit otherwise more known as the "Revealed Truth of God in the Holy Bible." The trouble with you sick religious morons is that you never bother to seriously read and study your sick bible. By the way, there are some 57 different versions of the bible sold in bookstores today. In my personal library of books I only have the Catholic bible, Duane, Good New Bible, and the bible edited by pastor Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement in the Philippines...

The Gods of Great Thinkers

Here's the GOD of Mar Patalinjug:

Time and time again, I have characterized this biblical "God" as vicious, malicious, ferocious, vain, vainglorious, vengeful, hateful, murderous, cantankerous, and utterly devoid of what we human beings know as love and compassion. The bible verses you quote in this Post confirm what I personally think of this biblical "God."

Here's the GOD of Richard Dawkins:

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

Here's the GOD of Poch Suzara:

All, but all of my silly teachers in La Salle grade school and La Salle high school were all a GOD to me. If I disagreed with any of them on any subject - they threatened me with either being thrown out of class or suspended for several days out of school premises. Gradually, in the end, happily, luckily, fortunately - I was finally expelled out of first year high school.

Jesus as BIG BUSINESS

The religious, bible bobos, scared fatheads, and the frightened wimps as among the kind of victims that make organized religion such a lucrative business in this country keeping it poor and backward.

Indeed, Brother Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; Brother Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement; and Eli Soriano of Dating Daan, to name a few, are among the very wealthy religious businessmen today in our sick society. Imagine these amateur pikers among the few rich and the famous operating the business of selling Jesus only in decades! Then compare the wealth, power, and glory of the Catholic church and Iglesia Ni Cristo operating the bigger business of selling eternal salvation for centuries in this poor and backward country.

For my part, I only have to think of my parents, grandparents great grandparents, uncles, aunties, nephews, nieces, cousins, in-laws, my children, my children, grandchildren, wife, friends, classmates, and schoolmates - all as the poor victims of religion. Seldom the masters of courageous thoughts. It makes the blood inside my brain get hot to a scandalous temperature. Poch Suzara

Praying and Hallucinating

When you talk to God, it's called PRAYING. When God talks to you, it's called HALLUCINATING! The last time I talked to God and God talked to me was when I was 14 years old! Neither of us made any sense to each other at all. It was also the last time God and I ever heard from each other ever again! After which, I stopped bothering God and God also stopped bothering me. It has been a happy and a dignified arrangement - God stopped believing in me and I stopped believing in God. It is what I think of my stand as a decent human being gifted with self-respect and dignity and indeed, with intellectual courage to value not my "free will" but my "good will."! Poch Suzara

Kill the Church

Human intelligence will eventually kill the Church of all Religions. After all, religion has been based on nothing but self-imposed mendacity - plain and simple. Indeed, the same religion that encourages mediocrity to have faith in the perpetual horror known as stupidity that generates social insanity. Poch Suzara

Letters Written years Ago

NY,NY, 08 Nov 2011 Dear Helen: Pocholo Suzara is one Filipino who uses his Cognitive Powers as they should be used - logically and rationally. As a Filipino intellectual of the First Degree, he is a rara avis. He is more of a rara avis because he is not afraid of the naked, the brutal and the unvarnished TRUTH. Poch Suzara has earned his rightful place among the world's Great Thinkers. Mar Patalinjug My Dear Mar, Thank you for your great thoughts about me. Please rest assured that I have just began the fight. I am already 74 years old. I have a few years, perhaps a few months, or who knows a few days to live on this earth. But I will do my best to deliver the promise I made to myself when I was 14 years old - expelled out of La Salle high school: In the years ahead, I promised I will somehow play a role, a part, no matter how puny, or how insignificant in the ambitious task of bringing down the evil monster that's keeping us Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and morally frightened as a nation - the evil monster otherwise more known as Christianity in the Philippines. Established here since the 16th century. Indeed, it is not enough to rock the Christian boat in the Philippines. It is time that we sink it permanently out of its existence. Let us give our children and children's children a fighting chance to learn how to live the good life - one inspired by love of this world and guided by knowledge of this world. In this way, like the few of us today, they too will have found a purpose to leave this world one day a better place than we found it. Cheers! Poch Suzara San Lorenzo Village, Makati city Nov. 9, 2011

We All Live in a Fucking World

When a man is sexually aroused, he gets an erection. The blood in his brain goes to his sexual organ. The same thing happens to his woman also sexually aroused - the blood in her brain goes to her vagina ready to be invaginated. In other words, replenishing the earth or propagating the human race – can only be accomplished by mindless fathers and thoughtless mothers enjoying sexual embrace devoid of intellectual profundity. We are all the masters as well as the victims of this biological complexity. Preposterous as it is. To think that we are all the result of mindless mating between mom and dad. We are all born not only wet, crying, hungry, bloodied, and uncircumcised, but also born like the way the animals are born - dirty and maladorous? But then again we are told that God gifted babies with a free will during birth. As if babies could be free to choose not to be born at all or to choose one's gender to be born a boy or a girl. Indeed, free will is a religious hogwash! Happy birthday greetings is based not on truth. No one is born happy. In fact, we are born like the animals are born ignorant which has nothing to do with happiness! In the meantime, the human world population today at 7 BILLION people is proof enough that we humans all live in a FUCKING world. Indeed, we hardly live in a THINKING world. It is, in this way, that we are destroying ourselves as humans - thoughtless and reckless as we are. We are destroying the only home we have in this world - the Planet Earth! Poch Suzara

The Real Atheists

There are one billion silly atheists in this world today. They are known as the "Christians" who do not believe in the existence of "Allah" the God of the Muslims.

There are also another kind of silly atheists in this world today. The 1 billion Muslims do not believe in the existence of the God of the Christians known as GOD.

As with me, I am the REAL kind of an atheist. I do not believe in the existence of ALLAH, the God of the Muslims. I also do not believe in the existence of the God of the Christian.

Life on this earth is so short, so brief, so fleeting, I find it utterly silly to believe in the existence of such silly GODS. Poch Suzara

All Great Religions

The great religions of the world have ALL been based on one great evil only: Loving a God up there for the sake of hating one another down here.

As for me, I thank all the great religions of the world, as much as I thank God, if any, responsible for the existence of such great but otherwise stupid religions that I WAS BORN AN ATHEIST AND I SHALL DIE AN ATHEIST. Poch Suzara

The Bible Declares:

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God." (2 Timothy 3:16)
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless...." (2 Samuel 22:31)
"And the words of the LORD are flawless...." (Psalm 12:6)
"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless...." (Psalm 18:30)
"Every word of God is flawless...." (Proverbs 30:5)

For my part, I am happy and proud to also declare that I became an atheist because of the holy lies declared in the holy bible. Poch Suzara

The Power of Silly Prayer

Nov. 3, 2011
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Letter to the Editors
Dear Sirs:
To believe in the power of prayer is like believing that God up there will alter His Divine Plans formulated centuries ago to conform to our needs in this 21st century down here.

Again, saying prayers is equivalent to believing that the Philippines is governed by a Supreme Being who changes his mind if we Filipinos ask him in our prayer to do so.

Since Christianity arrived some 400 years ago - I have yet to see how exactly prayers have transformed our country into one of the most developed and advanced country of Asia? But here's what is even more ticklish: We are told that if we want to solve our problems as a people or solve our troubles as a nation - we must only pray. Now if nothing happens, we must only pray harder. And if nothing still happens, it is only because we do not know how to pray!

In the meantime, our children in school are taught how to pray. It is the best way to teach them how to seek fantasy solutions to real problems. But then again, if God were all-knowing, why should he be bothered with daily prayers? The encouragement of prayer promotes selfishness. People pray for that for which they have not labored or thought. Prayer also undermines the power of human intelligence. Prayer causes a weakening of self-reliance and a corresponding deterioration of character. In fact, daily prayers are among the most effective causes that keep us Filipinos poor spiritually, backward morally, impoverished economically, insane politically, not to mention empty historically.

The question I asked decades ago, I still am asking today: Is there hope for our country? Yes, with intelligent leaders? Never with stupid prayers! Poch Suzara

The Bible Thrown Out the Window

There is absolutely no information in the Bible that we can make any use of as we goes through life. The Bible is not a book of knowledge. It does not give instruction in any of the sciences. It furnishes no help to labor. It is useless as a political guide. There is nothing in it that gives the mechanic any hint, or affords the farmer any enlightenment in his occupation.

If a Filipino wishes to learn about the earth or the heavens; about life or the animal kingdom, he has no need to study the Bible. If he is desirous of reading the best poetry or the most entertaining literature he will not find it in the Bible. If he wants to read to store his mind with facts, the Bible is the last book for him to open, for never yet was a volume written that contained fewer facts than this book. If he is anxious to get some information that will help him earn an honest living he does not want to spend his time reading Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Kings, Psalms, or the Gospels. If he wants to read just for the fun of reading, to kill time, or to see how much nonsensical writing there is in one book, let him read the Bible.

I have said it before - there are not wise sayings in the Bible, or a few dramatic incidents, but there are just as wise sayings, and wiser ones, too, out of the book, and there are dramas of human life that surpass in interest anything contained in the Old or New Testament.

No person can make a decent excuse for reading the Bible more than once. To do such a thing would be a foolish waste of time. But my vehement objection to reading this book is, not that it contains nothing particularly good, but that it contains so much that is garbage for one's intellectual life. To read this book is to get false ideas, absurd ideas, bad ideas. The injury to the human mind that reads the Bible as a reliable book is beyond repair. I do not think that this book should be read by children, by any any Filipino less than twenty years of age, and it would be better for the Philippines if not a Pinoy or a Pinay read a line of it until he or she was fifty years old.

What I want to say is this, that there is nothing in the Bible that is of the least consequence to the people of this already 21st century. English literature is richer a thousand fold than this so- called sacred volume. We have books of more information and of more inspiration than the Bible. As the relic of a barbarous and superstitious people, it should have a place in our libraries, but it is not a work of any value to this age. I pity Filipinos who stand in pulpits and call this book the word of God. I wish they had brains enough to earn their living without having to repeat these lies and deceptions. The day will come when this book will be estimated for what it is worth, and when that day comes, the Bible will no longer be called the word of God, but the work of ignorant, superstitious men.

In the meantime, a great scientist/writer Isaac Asimov fearlessly
stated: "Properly read the bible is the most potent force for ATHEISM ever invented by man." Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell and the Truth

So why not reject and discard your COMPUTER machine? Throw it out the window. Atheist Bertrand Russell was one of the FATHERS of the COMPUTER INDUSTRY. It is embarrassing, isn't it, when I criticize Jesus in his own silly bible, I know exactly what I am talking about. I quote to you evidences as written in the bible. With you followers of Jesus, all you can say about Bertrand Russell is that he was unhappily married 4 times. But you never are able to point out to me how Bertrand Russell as a mathematician, as a logician, and as a philosopher wrote books filled with inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, atrocities, lies, contradictions, and deceptions. If you study the writings of Bertrand Russell, you will realize that if had made mistakes, where he was wrong, he spoiled the fun by pointing out the errors himself. In spite of all the logical and philosophical advances for which Russell is responsible of, and in spite of all the dark places which he has made plain, one is tempted to say a greater thinker would be somebody finding fundamental fault in his work. In fact, any subsequent philosopher worth his salt has to begin where he left off because, simply, it is impossible to be satisfied with things as Russell has left them. Listen to what Bertrand Russell wrote: "Without the capacity for mental solitude, none of the supreme achievements of human genius would have been possible." For my part, as a student of Bertrand Russell ever since I was expelled out of high school 60 years ago, I am fully aware that he was a man with a passionate hatred of folly and cruelty. But he also gave to others, to students like me, the courage, hope, and heart in the fight against such horrors. Thus, I would rather be busy studying, reading, writing, and learning as a thoughtful man without a wife than be busy with a wife at home or with tutie-fruties outside the home. In the meantime, indeed, we all spend our lives looking for the things we have missed during our childhood years. With me at home and in school - the truth. Poch Suzara
