Lee Kuan Yew - ATHEIST - NON-believer

The man who transformed a hell of a sort into a heaven on earth in a couple of decades celebrated his 87th birthday last week on September 16. In an interview given to a journalist last week, Lee almost ridiculed those who seek strength and solace in religion.

The Prime Minister of Singapore from its founding in 1965 until stepped aside in 1990, Mr. Lee built what he called ‘a first-world oasis in a third-world region'. The world praised him for his incorruptibility and efficiency.

In reply to the interviewer, he said, referring to afterlife, ‘What is next? I do not know. Nobody has ever come back'.

Agnostic and pragmatic at all times, he said, on being asked how he dealt with pains in life, ‘How do I comfort myself? Well. I say life is just like that'. Talking of his sick, bed-ridden wife, Lee said that from time to time, his mind went back to the happy days they were up and about together.

He said he felt a gradual decline in energy and vitality in old age and added generally, every year, he knew he was not on the same level as the previous year. Lee then declared his life philosophy, ‘But that's life'. "Criticize me but I don't believe in miracles, psychics and soothsayers or even afterlife." Poch Suzara

Why we are poor as a people and backward as a Nation

Poverty is the symptom: slavery is the disease. We are not enslaved because we are poor; on the contrary, we are poor because we are enslaved. - Bertrand Russell I said it before, I say it again: via our schools, colleges, and universities - we were educated to have faith not in our country, but to have faith only in Christianity. A people, therefore, who are enslaved to believe that this life in this world is nothing compared to that better world to come with God and Jesus in heaven after death is a people who value not life after birth, but only have faith in life after death. And such traditional religious horror is what keeps us Filipinos poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, stupid politically, impoverished economically, frightened traditionally, and backward historically. In the meantime, it is quite clear that Filipino couples are probably the most PROLIFIC producers of babies not only in Asia, but in the whole world! Poch Suzara

Jesus - the Confused Savior of the World

Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place." John 18:36 But then, in another verse, Jesus also said: "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me." Luke 19:27 Such was the confused Jesus more known as the Savior of the world! In the meantime, during my formative years in La Salle grade school, I was frightened to believe that God made man in his own image and likeness. In high school, however, I asked: Why would God inspire men,who were created in his own image and likeness, get Jesus - His only begotten Son - to be crucified dead on a cross in order for him to be the Savior of men already created in image and likeness of his own Father - God? The answer - I was thrown out. Expelled out of La Salle high school. Amen! Praise the Lord! Poch Suzara

I am Most Proud of My Sins

"You can't put your sins behind you until you face them." - Philippine Star, March 29, 2012

For my part, I am most proud to face my sins; especially those sins that made me think - such as by reading those books banned by the Catholic church more known as the Index of Prohibited books. - Poch Suzara

Success

"Success means you get up one more time than you fall down." Philippine Star, march 29, 2012 For my part, I say - success is what most timid cowards settle for when they cannot or will not think of something courageous enough to be failing at. Poch Suzara

Enjoy living while dying

We squander our health in search of wealth, we toil, we sweat, we save. Then we squander our wealth in search of health, only to find the grave.- Anonymous

For my part, I would rather squander my health in search of the truth. In this
way, I may yet discover the greatest of wealth - mental health where I am able
to be dying while I still enjoy living and happy thinking. Poch Suzara

Science and the Scientific Way of Thinking

Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. - Thomas H. Huxley It is not what the man of science believes that distinguishes him but how and why he believes it. His beliefs are tentative, not dogmatic; they are based upon evidence, not on authority or intuition. - Bertrand Russell "There is no other species on the Earth that does science. It is so far, entirely a human invention, evolved by natural selection in the cerebral cortex for one simple reason: it works. It is not perfect. It can be misused. It is only a tool. But it is by far the best tool we have, self-correcting, ongoing, applicable to everything. It has two rules. First: there are no sacred truths; all assumptions must be critically examined; arguments from authority are worthless. Second: whatever is inconsistent with the facts must be discarded or revised. We must understand the Cosmos as it is and not confuse with how we wish it to be." - Carl Sagan Science is replacing the fear of the unknown with the courage to question everything even what is already known. After all, the TRUTH has yet to be found and the search of the truth is man's most noble of professions! - Poch Suzara

Birth and Death Reality

Sir: what, in God's name, are you talking about? Which reality are you referring to? The only reality that is fully recognized by science is this: Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it! In the meantime, we know absolutely nothing of the reality of life that comes after birth, how in hell should we know anything about the reality of life, if any, that comes after death? And if there reality after death, isn't it also subject of its own destruction and the new reality to replace it? Poch Suzara

Life After Death Nonsense

After death, with what eyes shall we see, with what ears shall we hear, with what nose shall we smell, with what palate shall we taste, with what skin shall we feel, with what sex organ shall we fuck. Wake up, man! In the intellectual realm with what brain already dead shall we be able to think? Our identity and memory are functions of the brain. When we die, the brain decays. What then of our memory and identity? We atheists are more concern and attentive with life after birth. Fuck life after death - there isn't any. Indeed, immortality is the condition of a dead moron who does not believe that he is already dead, buried, and gone! In the meantime, listen carefully to Mark Twain: "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." Poch Suzara

Factories to produce babies, not Goods

Lawmaker - Cagayan De Oro City Rep - Rufus Rodriguez says that: 645 towns don't have Fire Stations, fire trucks, fire-fighting equipments and crew members. - Philippine Star, March 28, 2012

What this lawmaker ignores to admit is that in such same 645 towns - they also have no health clinics, no public libraries, no public health and sanitation facilities,
no Public Parks or playgrounds for children, no community center, no rehab center, no maintenance for schools. But they do have churches and indeed, a factory - that produces not goods, but babies. Poch Suzara

Oh Lord, Please Stop Wasting Time

"We find courage to stand when we kneel before the Lord." - Philippine Star, March 27, 2012

On the contrary, we need courage to stand before the Lord to tell Him to stop wasting time. To please finish the job he started as a Savior of mankind more than 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Really Lord, what's holding up the show? Time has already elapsed! Are you still stuck with that cry on the cross before God: "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?" Poch Suzara

My teacher - Bertand Russell

Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970). Philosopher, mathematician, educational and sexual reformer, professor, pacifist, atheist, prolific letter writer, author and columnist. Bertrand Russell was one of the most influential and widely known intellectual figures of the twentieth century. In 1950 he was awarded the Noble Prize for Literature for his extensive contributions to world literature and for his "rationality and humanity, as a fearless champion of free speech and free thought in the West." It is sad to know that the books written by Bertrand Russell have been listed too in Vatican's Index of Prohibited Books. To think that this is the same Bertrand Russell who is known throughout the world for his messages in his struggle for world sanity: "RENOUNCE WAR OR PERISH! "WORLD PEACE OR UNIVERSAL DEATH! "REMEMBER YOUR HUMANITY, AND FORGET THE REST!" "WE ARE ALL BORN IGNORANT, NOT STUPID. WE ARE MADE STUPID BY EDUCATION!" Poch Suzara

Free Will - something partial, not total

"God chooses WHAT we go through; we choose HOW we go through it." - Philippine Star, March 26, 2012. I said it before, I say it again: There is no such thing as FREE WILL. If there is, it is something partial, not total. In the meantime, one would think that God has far more important things to do with his time and energy than to choose WHAT we must go through in life! Oh God, dear God, please WAKE UP! Do you really that excited over infantile pursuits? Poch Suzara

Human Intelligence greater than Hope

"The youth is the hope of our future," Rizal steadfastly believed. With due respect to and admiration for our Jose Rizal, may I however, add: Yes, the youth seriously educated in grade school, high school, and in college to learn the values of science and the power behind the scientific way of thinking. In this way, our youth will be far more constructive in the development of our land than all nonsense behind the silly religious hope of our future going on in our country ever since Christianity arrived into our shores some 400 years ago..

After all, far greater than hope is the development of human mind and heart, indeed, the power of new and fresh ideas - which is what, in brief, what the scientific way of thinking is all about! Poch Suzara

Leprosy Still Existing in the World Today

Here is an example of a Revealed Truth written by inspired authors of God in some 27 different bible versions - the Word of God. It reveals how Jesus Christ cured Leprosy and other diseases. Could any of you faithful believers explain in this forum just how TRUTHFUL is this sick garbage since leprosy and other diseases are still horrors in Filipino life today in the Philippines - the only Jesus country in Asia today since the 16th century: New International Version Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. New Living Translation Jesus reached out and touched him. "I am willing," he said. "Be healed!"

War as Big Business for the USA

The U.S. government goes to war against foreign countries like Iraq, and the US soldier faces adversaries with weapons or military technology that read: "Made in America." The widening WAR ON TERRORISM and accelerating weapons sales to coalition partners will only increase the likelihood of the boomerang effect that will continue to haunt Americans at home and American citizens living abroad. Meanwhile, the weapons for the "War against Terrorism" was called the "WAR AGAINST COMMUNISM decades ago before Communism collapsed. In the meantime, God Bless America - the land of the free - the home of the brave has never been meaningful, but a meaningless joke! Poch Suzara
