God Never Believed in the Existence of Other Gods

My Dear Faithfools: Please read carefully God's first commandment: "THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME." This means God never believed in the existence of other gods - and that makes God an ATHEIST! So my dear friends, what is your problem? If God created me to be an atheist - why should that bother or frighten any of you, specially you college-educated faithfools on these pages? Sincerely, Poch Suzara, High School Expelled Student

What Does it profit a Man If he Gains the whole World

What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but suffers in the end the lost of his soul in the next world? Matt. 16:26 I asked it before, I ask it again: What does it profit a man if he wins rewards in heaven but leaves his country a worst place than he found it? Obviously, such a man had little reason to have lived. Indeed, such a man saw neither the beauty nor the necessity or even the worth in saving something even more priceless than his silly soul - his own precious mind and precious heart - especially for love of country, love of family, and love of humanity!

The Silly Story of Job in the Silly Bible

We are told that the story of Job is an amazing story of faith. The bible described him as the most righteous man of his generation. Yet, God allowed Satan to afflict Job with distress, illness and suffering. When the trials proved too severe, Job faithfully declared: "Though He may slay me, yet will I trust in Him," Job. 13:15 For my part, I have a question for God and a question for Job. First, a question for God: "Out of the billions of people you have already created what was the serious issue with Job worthy of your special attention? Whatever happened to your duty and responsibility as a God to behave like a God to each and everyone of your children otherwise more known as Mankind?" Now a question for Job: "What ever happened to your sense of pride, dignity, and self-respect as a man gifted with a free will? Couldn't you ask God: is all this holy malarkey inextricably mixed with religious baloney worthy of your time and energy? Poch Suzara

We are NOT the Intelligent Masters, but the Silly Victims

My Dear Sir: Please wake up! We are all not the INTELLIGENT MASTERS, but the SILLY VICTIMS of Catholic values and beliefs in our own country, and you expect me to admit to you that I should be happy and proud to have been one such SILLY VICTIM myself? Specially when I was one among the millions in grade school and high school as a student at De la Salle University - one among the one thousand schools, colleges, and universities owned and operated by the Catholic Church in the Philippines! Poch Suzara

Filipino Family Degraded by Silly Values and Sick Beliefs

Thanks to Catholic silly values and sick beliefs in the Philippines the "father" in the Filipino family is the priest whom we addressed as "Father" and he is not even suppose to be a family man, but a bachelor! Again, thanks to Catholic silly values and sick beliefs in the Philippines, my 4 sisters are not that real. My real sisters are the nuns who teach in Catholic grade school and high school. We all address them as "sister." Again, thanks to Catholic values and beliefs in the Philippines, we address as "Brother" the La Salle Christian Brothers teachers in our school - De La salle University. For my part, I have no brother in our family. But I refuse to believe that the Christian Brothers in La Salle are my "Brothers?" Fuck that Christian Brother shit! I said it before, I say it again: to hell with all these Catholic "Father" and Catholic "Sister" and Catholic "Brother" religious bullcrap! They degrade the dignity of the Filipino family primarily composed of mother, father, sons, and daughters! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Adam and Eve Had Faith in God

Let's take a closer look at Adam and Eve - they were NO atheists. They both believed, loved, and venerated, but also had faith in God. They even met God personally and talked to him directly. But look how Adam and Eve ended up like a couple of damned faithfools. God inspired the Talking Serpent (also gifted with a free will) - to get Adam and Eve to be guilty of the Original Sin! As if Adam and Eve originated anything in this world to begin with! In the meantime, my dear reader, haven't you as yet noticed the silly maka-dios politicians as the corrupt leaders of our poor and backward country? They never stop to declare that it is not only the WILL of the people, but the WILL of God that made them the Barangay captains, chief of police, mayors, governors, congressmen, and senators, not to mention the chief justice of the Supreme court. For my part, as a high school expelled student of some 65 years ago, I am still asking today: GOD, WHAT ARE YOU A GOD FOR? Specially a GOD for the HERE AND NOW? A God for the living? And not a GOD for the dead, not a God for that the pie-in-the-sky, for that silly life after death later by and by? Oh God, my dear God, you obviously do not exist! But if you do exists, you must be a supernatural Monster, if not a supreme Jerk surrounded by a lot of angelic saps! Poch Suzara

My Own Charity Activities

I have my own charity activities. On an average, I donate 8,000 pesos a month or 96,000 pesos a year or some $200 a month out of my SSS benefits from the US and from my monthly Philippine social security benefits. It has been ongoing since 1990 and official receipts tell me that I already donated more than 2.5 millions pesos during these past 24 years. In the meantime, down through the years, my real interests and concerns have been - doing my charity best to expose the LIES AND DECEPTIONS that historically have been keeping us filipinos spiritually poor as a people and morally bankrupt as a nation. Most of my catholic friends, classmates, schoolmates, and associates think of me as only always CURSING THE DARKNESS which is really the highest of ridiculosity. On the contrary, what could be more brightening than to expose the nature of the darkness around us which is what the sick system of basic Catholic education has been mostly about? Indeed, the commercial enterprises more known as schools, colleges, and universities own and managed tax-free by the Catholic church in our poor and backward country - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century!

Instead of Lively Analysis, only Deadly Paralysis

If you truly enjoy your free will, I challenge you to freely put into a lively analysis these truths that have kept many of you under a deadly paralysis: First: Among the hundreds of thousands of corrupt officials and corupt employees of our government - there is not ONE among them who is an atheist or a humanist. Each and every one of them believe in Jesus and have faith in God. Second: Each and every one of them have acquired college education in La Salle, or Ateneo, San Beda, UST, Assumption college, UP, Letran, AIM, Miriam college, San Augustine College, etc. As an atheist and a La Salle high school expelled student and a die-hard Rizalist, I rest my case. Poch Suzara

What are you Doing with your FREE WILL

My Dearest Et Al, Please read your bible. You might come to the conclusion that your so-called FREE WILL is really not that FREE nor is it a WILL. “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able ... There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.” Luke 13:23-24 -28 In the meantime, in our SICK SOCIETY, everybody wants to go to heaven, and yet nobody wants to die. I said it before, I say it again: For my part, I would rather end up in hell with intelligent adults than to be with you faithfool kids in heaven! Poch Suzara

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.
