The Mind of Man

“The mind of man,” wrote John Calvin, “undertakes all that is perverse, base, and impure and always remains involved in hypocrisy and deceit.” I ask: what vital role has Christianity played to make our politicians in government and our theologians in church all together be less perverse, less base, and less impure and no more involved in hypocrisy and deceit in the Philippines? Now I am told that I have a mind that is puny. Oh yes, indeed, since I am human, my mind is just as puny as your mind and just as puny as the mind of the theologians and the politicians. So how come you religiously frightened morons on these pages pretend that you have a mind that understands the mind of God? As if God has a mind since God is not human, huh? Poch Suzara

Politics is Big Business in America

If we were for the truth in American politics, neither Omaba nor Romney won in the debate. But lies and deceptions once again proved the winner. Notice neither of the candidates touched on the issue on why America must continue to kill foreigners in order the keep the USA as a world power! Not to mention the killings also fellow-Americans at home. Politics in America is big business; specially for its "military-Industrial-University complex." It does not matter whether the Democrats or the Republicans run the government for as long the old or the new faces in the government chorus will continue to sing the same old lies and deceptions more known as GOD BLESS AMERICA! THE LAND OF THE FREE! THE HOME OF THE BRAVE! Poch Suzara

The Philippines Always Blessed by God

"What I got in Sunday school ... was simply a firm conviction that the Christian faith was full of palpable absurdities, and the Christian God preposterous.... The act of worship, as carried on by Christians, seems to me to be debasing rather than ennobling. It involves groveling before a being who, if he really exists, deserves to be denounced instead of respected." -- H L Mencken For my part, I say it again: at present, as it has been in the past, there has never been a truthful religion established in the Philippines at any time. The Catholic religion, Iglesia ni Cristo, El Shaddai, Dating Daan, Jesus is Lord Church, Mormon church, Unitarian, Seventh Day Adventist, Baptist, Anglican, Hindu, Sikhist, etc - have all been based on lies and deceptions. In the meantime, religion has caused far more damage to our spritual way of life as Filipinos than the damage done to us by the Spaniards, Americans, Japanese, and Marcos Dictatorship all criminally bundled together as our past and insane colonizers!

Filthy Poor Filipinos

I asked it before, I ask it again: Have any of you ever heard of a Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH for believing that God is BAD? Well, how come millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR for believing that God is GOOD? Poch Suzara

Christianity - A Failure as a Religion in the Philippines

October 22, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Editors, More than 1,000,000,000 ( Billion ) Filipinos have already lived and died ever since Christianity arrived in the Philippines in the 16th century. Thus far, Christianity has produced only two Filipino saints - St. Pedro Calungsod and St. San Lorenzo Ruiz. In view, however, of the historical fact that Christianity has produced far more unsaintly congressmen, unsaintly senators, unsaintly governors, unsaintly mayors, unsaintly chiefs of Police; unsaintly school teachers, unsaintly college professors; not to mention unsaintly priesthood industry - only proves that Christianity has been and still is a failure as a religion in the Philippines. Sincerely, Poch Suzara

Three Groups of Atheists in the Philippines

There are three groups of Atheists in the Philippines. The first group say that I am the "father of Atheism." The second group say that I am the "grandfather of atheism." The third group, my favorite group - they say I am the "Pope" of Atheism in the Philippines. All of the above, I must admit, I consider as childish nonsense. What, however, I am most proud about, most thrilled to confirm, and most excited to acknowledge is the fact that Atheism today is a worldwide movement without followers, without victims. Indeed, we atheists are all leaders! We are answerable to no one except to the beauty and necessity of human decency spreading globally for the sake of peace and harmony. Indeed, imagine this world, our world not any more frightened to love a silly divinity up there by hating and killing each other like silly faithfools down here. I said it before, I say it again: forget divinity. Let us only love and attend to the needs of humanity. Otherwise, we would have no reason to have lived at all with veracity as we face the brutality of reality. Poch Suzara

I Asked college-educated Individuals

Years ago, I asked college-educated individuals out of La Salle, Ateneo, San beda, Letran, UST, Assumption colleges, University of the Philippines, Miriam colleges, AIM, etc. This year, I am asking them again: Which God inspired which authors to write which holy bible? There are more than 57 different versions of the holy bible sold in bookstores today. In the meantime, there is only one version of the Multiplication Table - the perfect model of truth, precise and certain, and free from all kinds of conflicting interpretations; even free from silly contradictions! As a matter of historical fact, no nation has ever declared war on another nation for not believing that 2 plus 2 equals 4. But people living other countries have been bombed to death for believing that God is not a Catholic or because God is Islamic or because they believe that God is a Jewish lunatic who has always been historically bombastic.

Why Childen in Foreign Countries Hate America

In 1996, then-Ambassador Madeleine Albright was asked about reports that 500,000 Iraqi children had died as a result of US-imposed sanctions. She replied: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price - we think the price is worth it." Former UN official, Denis Halliday, said US sanctions on Iraq met the formal definition of genocide: "We are now in there responsible for killing people, destroying their families, their children, allowing their older parents to die for lack of basic medicines. We're in there allowing children to die who were not born yet when Saddam Hussein made the mistake of invading Kuwait." The millions of Iraqi children who survived the death of their parents while the US Air Force bombed Iraq all have grown up hating America. The US military-Industrial-University Complex, however, love the development. There is now more excuse to declare war against these grown-up Iraqis too in the future for hating America. And the merry-go-round goes on and on for the US foreign policy in killing foreigners for the sake of big business as the great part of the US economy to grow. Poch Suzara

God Bless America

"It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly." Bertrand Russell It is the same thing with nations. Look at America, once the richest and the most powerful nation in the world. Today in America, presidential candidates still debate on how to achieve not intellectual growth as a people, but only more of the same old story - economic growth as a nation. In the meantime, the majority of Americans live under the threat of bankruptcy on the one hand, and on the other hand - live under a culture of hate, fear, and violence. Oh yes, Americans as a people are armed with private weapons against each other; America as a nation is also armed to the teeth against any other nation not willing to submit to imperialism more known as American capitalism; or, to kleptocracy, not to democracy. Consider crime statistics hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly in America: Every 22.2 seconds - One violent crime occurs Every 30.9 minutes - One murder occurs Every 5.7 minutes - One forcible rape occurs Every 1.2 minutes - One robbery occurs Every 36.6 seconds - One aggravated assault occurs Every 3.2 seconds - One property crime occurs Every 14.4 seconds - One burglary occurs Every 4.8 seconds - One larceny-theft occurs Every 26.4 seconds - One motor vehicle theft occurs 2010 FBI Crime Clock Stats An estimated five out of six people will be victims of either completed or attempted violent crimes at least once in their lives (Koppel, 1987). According to The National Women's Study, 683,000 forcible rapes occur every year, which equals 56,916 per month; 1,871 per day; 78 per hour; and 1.3 per minute (National Center for Victims of Crime &Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, 1992). One out of four women will be sexually assaulted on a college campus (Hirsch,1990). Antonio Novello, the former Surgeon General,has estimated that domestic violence kills 58,000 people every five years, the same number lost in the Vietnam War (Gardner, 1992). In the United States, there are over 3,400 animal protection shelters and only about 1,200 shelters for battered women (Buel, 1994) Findings from The National Women's Study reveal that rape victims compared to non-crime victims were: 5.3 times more likely to have used prescription drugs non-medically (14.7 percent vs.2.8 percent); 3.4 times as likely to have used marijuana (52.2 percent vs.15.5 percent); 6 times more likely to have used cocaine (15.5 percent vs 2.6 percent); 10.1 times more likely to have used hard drugs other than cocaine (12.1 percent vs. 1.2 percent); and 6.4 times more likely to have used hard drugs or cocaine (19.2 percent vs.3 percent). Additionally, rape victims were 4.1 times more likely than non-crime victims to have contemplated suicide and 13 times more likely to have actually made a suicide attempt (Ibid ). It has been repeatedly said before, let's say it again: God bless America - the land of the free and the home of the brave! Poch Suzara

America Destroying Herself Over Nothing

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. Abraham Lincoln Indeed, what is destroying America is its own "military-industrial-university complex." The only kind of transformation that can save America is the complete change from a "war" economy into a "peace" economy. In this way, America can truly become the greatest, most wealthiest, and healthiest nation in the world; especially as when America can begin to be in the business of reconstructing human lives locally, and not destroying human lives globally.

Thomas Paine on the Philippines

"The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on nothing; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing." -Thomas Paine, in The Age Of Reason In the Philippines, the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century, instead of more science and more technology for our growth as a people, and for our development as a nation, we only have more of the same stupid prayers and more of the same stupid theology! - Poch Suzara

Faith in Blind Faith

Due to faith in blind faith frightened into us during formative years at home and in school it is understandable that we can neither see nor can feel the horrors of religion. Religion harms children, adults, nations, culture, and society as a whole because the ideas behind it are not only irrational, but also promotes the feeling of personal inadequacy and anxiety indoctrinated into us during our formative years in school.. A child should be permitted to grow freely away from restrictive and dehumanizing ideas which are those of religion. Basically, religion is anti-life, anti-women, anti-sexuality, anti-reason, anti-reality, and anti-science. And these horrors are a heavy load to lay on a child who learns to follow in blind faith the strong theme that rewards poverty, submissiveness, sickness, or anything that would place such a child into an inferior position. By the same token, self-esteem, self-reliance, self-sufficiency, competence, intelligence, or anything that would put a child on a superior position is penalized or discouraged. God loves the humble, the meek, the frightened, the inferior; but God is jealous of the functional human intellect. Man should never be self-sufficient lest he offend God. This sets the stage for God in the role of the superior and man in the role of the inferior. God is the supreme being who needs servility and obedience to satisfy his egocentric qualities. Man must play the role of the inferior and as a reward for a submissive, unhappy, unrewarding life - he is promised that if he is good, a good for nothing dormat on this earth, he is assured of eternal salvation in heaven with God. This reward, however, is never defined. If a man is to earn God's favor, he indeed must live not with dignity, but with humility, and above all, he must not be happy. This is crucial in that to be happy might invoke envy from God, and man must live in fear of this envy. I said it before, I say it again: the horrors of religion in general, Catholicism in particular, have kept us filipinos traditionally poor as a people and historically backward as a nation. I say, it is time to dump organized religion out of our country. Instead of silly religiosity, let us enjoy intelligent SPIRITUALITY of which in its highest reality is to QUESTION EVERYTHING. After all, the good life is one inspired by love of life and guided by the love of knowledge! Poch Suzara

The Religion of Immorality

Here is a message from God in the bible protecting and defending not the morality of religion, but the religion of immorality for the sake of promoting human insanity: "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekelsof silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." Deut. 22:28-29 Poch Suzara

It is Time to dump our Worthless Prayers

Oct. 8, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Sirs: Praying is like rocking a chair. It will help you do something but won't get you anywhere. Indeed, in the Philippines, since the 16th century - daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly we filipinos have been faithully praying repeatedly over and over again and look at the results in our country in this already 21st century: Millions more of us filipinos as a people today in the whole of Asia are still busy praying daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly; specially for the Second coming of the Lord to remedy the ills of our SICK SOCIETY as generated by our SICK SCHOOLS, SICK COLLEGES, AND SICK UNIVERSITIES - still teaching millions of Filipinos to continue to pray to God for the salvation of our poor and backward country - the only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago. I said it before, I say it again: as a decent people in an endless search to create for ourselves a decent nation it is time to dump our historically worthless, if not our utterly mindless prayers! Sincerely, Poch Suzara

Where our Teachers and Professors come from

My dear Bro. Martin and Bro. Bob gabuna, I suggest you both look for empty cans and then insert your dicks inside it and go for it. I would not worry about the empty cans getting pregnant - it is where your teachers in school and college professors come from. Poch Suzara Dear Poch, I admire your straighforwardness and "humor" in your rebuttals. Empty cans could be risky especially when they are rusty. Perhaps, you could have tell the "gentlemen" to use other means, couldn't you? Enjoy and have a fabulous and wonderful time. More power to you! Yours as always, Dr. Bayani Katigbak

Millions of believers are Ignorant of Bible Contents

The Bible is the most-printed and most freely distributed book in the world, with many hundreds of millions of copies believed to be in existence. The bible books sold in bookstores have always been, at any time, a best sellers. Unfortunately, the bible is considered holy, a book written by inspired authors of God -therefore it need not be read. Its verses need only to be taken for granted; especially as expounded by the priest on the pulpit during mass on sundays or by the evangelical hypocrites on TV during weekdays. The big question is why isn't the bible read as any book should be read for its messages, if any? It is simply because properly and thoroughly read the bible is the most effective way to learn how to become an atheist! Indeed, only scholars and atheists are more familiar with bible contents. Millions upon millions of believers have yet to seriously read and study the bible. A book that is full of myths, legends, contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, vulgarities, atrocities, lies and deceptions. In order to get to that conclusion, however, one must only seriously read the bible from cover to cover. No extra sources or inspirations are necessary. If we turn the bible on page one we will find two completely different descriptions of the same event - creation of man. In these descriptions in which various things were created is completely different. This is more than enough to conclude that one of these descriptions must be a lie. So we have found that the first page in the bible is a lie. The rest are full of completely different, mutually exclusive descriptions of the same event. Using the above resoning for each of these pairs of descriptions we can conclude that at least one of the descriptions can not be true. And this is how we can make the conclusion that Bible is book written by inspired lunatics. If authors inspired by logic can reveal the truth behind the multiplication table, why couldn't authors inspired by God reveal as well the truth behind the revelation table? As a matter of fact, insane messages written in the bible are about how life is not perfect as it is a defect. Therefore for the sake of revelation, not evolution - what we must seek is not reconstruction, but only obliteration; especially for the sake of gaining after death eternal salvation. The bible is the book of church - the Jewish church stands behind the Old Testament. The Christian church stands behind the New Testament. Behind both testaments, however, stand the priesthood industry. In the meantime, religious politicians are "voted" as the most admired in our poor and backward country. Even the highest court, the Supreme court, cringe before the power of organized religion. Our scientific community is so cowed it dares not challenge the religious liars that make for our sick society. Educators, especially college and university professors are paralyzed in fear, not even hoping to confront the sick monster known as organized religion keeping us aimless as a people and rudderless as a nation. Oh yes, millions of our citizens, by and large, remain religious illiterates. The bible is accepted but not read. Yet, on this book, as the alleged word of God, rests the entire superstructure of our faith, beliefs, and values that inspired the birth of the Dark Ages during the 5th century. I asked it before, I ask it again: After the college educated theologians have proved with evidences that God of the bible exists here, there, and everywhere - how would such information improve the lives of millions of spiritually malnourished, culturally impoverished, and indeed, materially pulverized Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century?

College-Educated Corrupt Government Officials

Come on you frigthened blind faithfools - take a good look at our poor and backward country historically managed by COLLEGE-educated government officials as the corrupt products of LA SALLE, ATENEO, UST, SAN BEDA, ASSUMPTION COLLEGE, MIRIAM, UP, LETRAN, AIM, ETC. All blessed by God as such schools, colleges, and universities generate a corrupt system of education for us Filipinos to be corrupt in order to survive in our own country. Poch Suzara,

Adam and Eve Were no ATHEISTS

Let's take a closer look at Adam and Eve - they were NO atheists. They believed, loved, and venerated God. But look how they both ended up damned and damned good. God even inspired the Talking Serpent to get them both to be guilty of the Original Sin! As if Adam and Eve ever originated anything in this world to begin with! In the meantime, my dear reader, haven't you as yet noticed the frightened dumbstruck maka-dios government officials as leaders of our sick country. They never stop to declare that God should not be blamed for all that is wrong in our country. It is our fault. Indeed, I agree. It is not only our fault, it is also our fear and ignorance specially in our failure to ask: GOD, WHAT ARE YOU A GOD FOR? Specially a GOD for the HERE AND NOW? And not a GOD for that by and by bullshit pie-in-the-sky later on? Poch Suzara
