My Dear Ex-Senator Rene Saguisag

August 9,2013 My Dear Ex-Senator Rene Saguisag, When the foreigners arrived in the 16th century, we had the land, and they had the bible. Today in the 21st century, we Filipinos have the bible and the foreigners own not only most of our land, but are also the owners of schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines. Not to mention the media. Such commercial enterprises continue to teach us Filipinos to be proud of our Christian faith. Especially for as long as we do not bother to read what’s precisely written n the bible. A book written not by Filipinos but written by foreigners – the Jews – the “elect,” God’s “chosen people.” My dear Ex-Senator, I ask: have you ever wondered why we Filipinos feel so proud and lucky to be employed by foreigners right here in our own country? If not feel even more proud and luckier to be employed in foreign countries? In the meantime, a great number of poverty-stricken jobless Filipinos nevertheless feel so blessed by God as the bible declares: “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land." Also, "For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." Or even more socially disastrous, the bible warns - "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." On the contrary, when a Christian allows one kind of fear to dominate him, he soon comes to be dominated by other kinds of fear also. Listen to our own Jose Rizal - arrested, incarcerated, and publicly executed for writing two books that shook the foundation of Christianity in the Philippines. He stressed the worth of the Filipino. He emphasized the fact that human dignity is a person’s worth, that which makes him stand above all other creatures. In his exchange of ideas on human rights and freedom with Fr. Pablo Pastells, Rizal said: “ Man’s dignity is precious to him. He carries within him a feeling of importance, a regard for his value and worth. When man ceases to value his dignity as a human being, he ceases to be a man. He forgets that nothing, indeed, is more excellent than humanity. . . Deprive a man of his dignity, and you not only deprive him of his moral stamina, but you also render him useless even to those who want to make use of him. . .Man in his self-respect; take it away from him and he becomes a corpse.” There is, indeed, something feeble, if not despicable, about a Filipino who cannot live his life unless sustained by the belief in deadly superstitions. Such as - one need not bother with poverty, disease, and population growth because God will provide. Or, that "blessed are those who are poor in spirit. They shall inherit the kingdom of God in heaven." Or, blessed are the Old and the New Testament in the Philippines because they inspire the arrival of more foreign investment! It is time for us Filipinos to be receptive to the values of science and scientific way of thinking, and technology. Such values should help us extricate ourselves out of poverty by generating our intellectual growth as a decent people, and development as a decent nation. It is also time to realize that we have been educated to be amenable to more of the same blind faith in the Christian way of life. It has, indeed, turned out to be our worst enemy: faith kills the mind before other diseases kill the body. Faith is just another sacred word we have been taught to employ to justify a lazy mentality, rationalize our lack of creativity, if not to maintain and to support the ways of our sick society. So deeply rooted in the teachings of Christianity. The test of a true religion, however, has nothing to do with a holy book, or how Old or New are its Testaments. It has nothing to do with prayer rally part 1, 2, and part 3. It has nothing to do with bombastic preachings delivered by real estate brokers devouring financial offerings from blind and ignorant Jesus followers. It has nothing to do with a pie in the sky or an ally in the sky. On the contrary, a true religion should generate human love and compassion in the here and now that binds the human society together as one precious human life. Indeed, a true religion does not inspire stupidity or insecurity; neither does it encourage running away from the problems of human society; especially by solving its problems with silly charity. Indeed, a true religion knows full well that the truth hurts, but knows even more that lies and deceptions are far more damaging and can last for a thousand years. As for me, an atheist, what have I to offer fellow-Filipinos in this religiously sick country of ours? Only one thing creative as it is constructive: I offer you the courage to take back what was stolen away from you during formative years in school - the most priceless treasure in the world – your precious mind and precious hearts as Filipinos! In this way, we need no longer waste our time loving a foreign God up out there, and wasting more time by hating one another for the greater glory of such a God down here! Indeed, we need to remedy the ills of our sick society not only by intellectual revolution, but the evolution of our precious minds and hearts; specially to learn to become proud thinking Filipinos. To be proud of our women. To be proud of our children. to be proud of our government. Indeed, to be proud of the one and only country we were all born into - our beloved Philippines! The aim of Christian education in the Philippines has always been about the pursuit of learning for the "Greater Glory of God." Here, however, is how the bible describes God and the glory of his temper and his tantrum: "I will sweep away everything in all your land," says the LORD. "I will sweep away both people and animals alike. Even the birds of the air and the fish in the sea will die. I will reduce the wicked to heaps of rubble, along with the rest of humanity," says the LORD. "I will crush Judah and Jerusalem with my fist and destroy every last trace of their Baal worship. I will put an end to all the idolatrous priests, so that even the memory of them will disappear. For they go up to their roofs and bow to the sun, moon, and stars. They claim to follow the LORD, but then they worship Molech, too. So now I will destroy them! And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do.They no longer ask for the LORD's guidance or seek my blessings." (Zephaniah 1:2-6) Today, throughout the Christian world, except in the Philippines - Christianity is tearing itself apart externally as it is collapsing internally. Today, throughout the Christian world, except in the Philippines, priestly authority and priestly respect exist no more or have been sensibly diminished. Today, throughout the Christian world, except in the Philippines, the superstructure of ecclesiastical privilege is tottering. Its fall is inevitable as its foundation has largely been based upon sacred lies and holy deceptions both evils always at home with corruption. It is time to educate ourselves to establish right here on our land a sane and a healthy society. It is time we promote in our country nothing but the beauty of common Filipino decency. It is also time to read properly and thoroughly the bible. In this way, as we begin to learn and understand just exactly how destructive bible messages have been and still are as a lot of holy hogwash as ever. I said it before, I say it again: it is time for us Filipinos to begin to rock the Christian boat; but preferably to sink it out of our precious minds and hearts - forever! Cheers!

The Corrupt System of Catholic Education in the Philippines

Corruption comes from a corrupt system of Catholic education which leads to poverty? But the worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind. Such poverty is what Catholicism is all about. The spread of poverty keeps the Catholic priesthood industry insured with more wealth, power, and glory; especially in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

My War Against Deviltry more Known as Christianity

I said it before, I say it again: Find a job that you enjoy doing and you will never have to work for the rest of your life ever again. As with me, I found the happy job of waging war against deviltry more known as Christianity. Never, however, have I ever experienced greater mental joys and much intellectual pleasures in life than fighting the historical enemy of the Filipino minds and hearts. Indeed, Christianity - the religion that had Jose Rizal arrested, incarcerated, and publicly executed for the purpose of maintaining wealth, power, and glory of Catholcism in the Philippines for centuries yet to come. Oh my dear reader, if there is life after death in heaven or in hell, please be rest assured that I will continue my fight against divinity behind stupidity in the hereafter for the rest of eternity. I love life. I love this world. What else can I say as we all, each and every one of us - share a common doom together. In the meantime, here's something ticklish to think about: "immortality is the condition is a dead man who does not believe he is is dead." Oh yes, if we must die, let us die sober, and not drunk with lies and deceptions! Indeed, everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die! Poch Suzara Twitter# Atheist# Google# Facebook#

We Ask What Else Can We do For God

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." JF Kennedy, President of the United States In the Philippines, since the 16th century, we Filipinos have been indoctrinated by our colonizers to ask not what God can do for us, but to ask, instead, what we can do for God. In this already 21st century, however, via schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries owned by our former colonizers, we are still told that having faith in God is not enough. We must continue asking: what else can we do for God, specially for the Son of God Jesus - our Jewish Savior - who died on the cross for our sins and our crimes! In the meantime, millions upon millions of college-educated Pinoys and Pinays are so proud of the historical fact that we are the only Christian country in Asia today. And more proud that for the glory of God in heaven, we Filipinos have not as yet civilized ourselves as a decent people, nor have we, as yet, industrialized ourselves as a decent nation. Civilization is the triumph of humanity over Christianity. It means the standard of thinking works better than the standard of believing. It also means that the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness works better than the pursuit of a better world to come after death. Industrialization is the triumph of knowledge over ignorance; prosperity over poverty; and, indeed, the triumph of reason over blind faith in a lot of out-of-this world dogma, pigma, and hogma! In the Philippines, we have neither civilization nor have we industrialization. What we have is endless stagnation under perpetual frustration - for the sake of our eternal salvation! And these horrors have been and still are nothing but the product of our sick faith in a sick system of education. Consider the typical attitude of a corrupt official or employee of the Philippine government. Listen to them bragging: "I don't care of the criminal activities increasing in our sick society." "I don't care if Filipino lives are ruined by illegal drugs." "I don't care if more and more of our women are going into prostitution." "What matters is that I am rich. . . it is every man for himself. Indeed, sila sila, kame kame, tayo tayo, bahala ka na sa Dios mo puta ang ina mo." Foremost Filipino Historian Teodoro A. Agoncillo wrote: "Self-deception is the worst tragedy of the Filipino as a people." I regret to say that this is just one of the minor terrible effects of a much greater horrible cause that's keeping us Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and morally backward as a nation: CHRISTIANITY. Look at us millions of Filipinos in this already 21st? We are still sick as the Sick Man of Asia. We are still praying to God to "give us this day our daily; and to "lead us not into temptation." "and also still praying to Mary, Mother of God to: "pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen." Oh God, my dear God, as you are already a God, and have been a God since the days of Adam and Eve, do you really need more prayers from the millions of poor Filipinos today already faithfully serving you daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly? I ask: What are you a God for? Why do you still need more glory and for what? Come on God, isn't it time for you to WAKE UP and start behaving like a real honest-to-goodness kind and loving God? Really God, what are you a God for? For Christ's sake you even need Catholic priests or Christian Brothers to be in charge of the SICK SYSTEM EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES!

Dear College-Educated Friends and Associates

Dear College-Educated Friends and Associates, As far as I am concerned, as a La Salle high school expelled student, the horror of the system of education in the Philippines has more to do with this silly historical fact: Millions upon millions of Filipino children are yearly educated to become CATHOLICS first and foremost for the glory of God in heaven; and hardly educated to become creative, productive, and well-informed CITIZENS of the Republic of the Philippines for the glory of its own decent growth and development as a decent nation. In the meantime, we were all taught to believe, during our formative years in Catholic schools, that we are all born corrupt; but that there is nothing wrong with being corrupt for as long as we believe and have faith in God who has the power to forgive the sin of corruption in our daily way of life in this only Catholic country in Asia! Philosopher Bertrand Russell was closer to the truth when he wrote: "We are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education." Cheers! Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Atheist# Google#

The Greatest of Evils in the Philippines

July 27, 2013 My Dear Senator Rene Saguisag, The greatest of crimes that's keeping the Philippines famous as a nation of sinners and criminals is the crime of silence. Indeed, in this only Catholic country in Asia, nobody seems to have the courage to publicly declare that there are NO atheists in the corrupt government; NO atheists in the corrupt church; NO atheists in the corrupt media; NO atheists in the corrupt courts of law; NO atheists in the corrupt military; NO atheists in corrupt schools, colleges, and universities. Indeed, are all faithful theists - believers in God. They all need to believe and to have faith in God ONLY because God is the one and only Supreme Power who can forgive them of their sins, crimes, and corruption in retail; but also to forgive them and to absolve them of their endless sanctimonious piety in wholesale!

Secretary of Education - Fr. Armin Luistro

Without science, a nation can neither extricate herself out of poverty nor out of stupidity. Science is what we know. Theology is what we do not know. In this already 21st century, it is fascinating to know how science has been transforming the world of ignorance into a world of knowledge; while theology only continues to keep the world still frightened under a lot of sacred mysteries in cahoots with holy baloney divinities. But here is something even more fascinating: at present, in our poor and backward country, the Secretary of Education is not a scientist. He is a well-trained theologian; in fact, a Catholic priest - Fr. Armin Luistro. Do any of you really believe that as the Secretary of Education, Fr. Armin Luistro is out there to educate millions of Filipinos to serve as productive and creative citizens the interests of the Republic of the Philippines? In fact, as a Catholic priest, his duty and responsibility is to indoctrinate millions of Filipinos to be loyal and faithful only as Catholics in order to maintain and support the continued existence of the wealth, power, and glory of the Catholic church in the Philippines. Foremost Philippine Historian Teodoro A. Agoncillo wrote: "Self-deception is the worst tragedy of the Filipino as a people." I say this is only half of the truth. The other half of the truth is that thanks to our Catholic system of education, the tragedy of the Philippines as a nation is its self-damnation. If you believe that there is a separation of Church and State in the Philippines, you might as well also believe in the existence of the separation between poverty and stupidity. As a matter of historical fact, the illicit affair between Church and State in the Philippines is just like a good Catholic marriage: what God has joined, let no man put asunder,- till death do us part. Both the Church and State protect and defend each other. The former with forgiveness of sins; and, the latter with tax exemption laws. The job of the State is to keep the people living in ignorance. The job of the Church is to keep the people living in fear. Combine the two horrors inextricably together and we have what is known as Christian values and beliefs. They are more known today as: MORE FUN AND SAFE IN THE PHILIPPINES as stimulated and indeed generated by the Sick Man of Asia! Poch Suzara Atheist# Facebook# Twitter# Google#

We are the most corrupt and stupid of men and women all taking advantage from God and specially from his JEWISH Son Jesus - the forgiveness of our SINS and the pardon of our CRIMES.

Our Overseas workers

Our workers are better paid and indeed highly respected for the hard work they do in foreign countries.In our own God-forsaken country, however, instead of giving our workers their due earnings and due respect, they only survive on more of the same hand-to-mouth standard of existence. But we never stop asking God to bless them. We never stop thanking God for the hard work that they do for the rich. In the meantime, in our sick society, the filthy poor are getting poorer. The filthy rich are getting richer. I asked it before, I ask it again: Have any of you ever met or heard of a Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH for believing that God is BAD? So how come millions upon millions of Filipinos are FILTHY POOR for believing that God is GOOD? Hijos de tootie-frootie y patooties CONIO! Gising na tayo! Puede ba?

Endless Hypocritical Piety as Blessed by God Perpetually

A great many Filipinos, specially in government, in church, in schools, colleges, and universities, and in the media will never, but never abandon their faith in God.

In the End Dr. Jose Rizal was not a Jesus Follower

Here are words uttered by Jesus - words never emulated by Dr. Jose Rizal in any of his writings. A great many innocent Filipinos, however, frightened by blind faith, believe that Dr. Jose Rizal himself was inspired by the teachings of Jesus. Nothing could be farther away from the truth. Listen attentively to the messages of Jesus. Messages that Dr. Jose Rizal as a thinker totally rejected like any other decent Filipino thinker should totally reject: If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple." Luke 14:26 Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Matt. 10:37 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 Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matt. 10:34 If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. John 15:18 But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead. Matt. 8:22 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.1 John 2:15 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!" Matt. 17:5 The Son of God Jesus, crucified on the cross, cried out loud: "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?" Matt. 27:46 For my part, after years of serious study of the life and times of Jesus as He is depicted in the holy bible - the deeper I learned to appreciate the power, the beauty, the necessity, and the sanity of atheism.

What If the Power of Prayer Works

If prayer works, how come we must only continue to pray on and on endlessly? Indeed, if prayer works, then we should see great and wonderful result with Filipinos no longer busy praying; specially as we are the only Christian people in all of Asia. Indeed, if prayer works, we should already see the results in the Philippines. We should have no more need to build more hospitals. Our country should be the most "blessed" country in all of Asia with health and wealth. Is this the Philippines we see? Never mind what your blind faith sees! It sees nothing! And so, I ask: how come by any standard of living and thinking, other NON-CHRISTIAN countries in Asia are ahead of the Philippines - economically, politically, scientifically, technologically, culturally, and, indeed, spiritually? Of course, let's not be too unfair. Let's be happy and proud of the Consuelo de Bobo: when it comes to corruption here, there, and everywhere; when it comes to sins against God; when it comes to crimes against our own country - we are quite successful and way ahead of everybody in Asia and in the world at large.

British Scientists Power Mobile Phones Using Urine

British scientists on Tuesday reported they had harnessed the power of urine and were able to charge a mobile phone with enough electricity to send texts and surf the internet. Researchers from the University of Bristol and Bristol Robotics Laboratory in south west England said they had created a fuel cell that uses bacteria to break down urine to generate electricity, in a study published in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. "No one has harnessed power from urine to do this so it's an exciting discovery," said engineer Ioannis Ieropoulos. "The beauty of this fuel source is that we are not relying on the erratic nature of the wind or the sun; we are actually reusing waste to create energy. "One product that we can be sure of an unending supply is our own urine," he added. The team grew bacteria on carbon fibre anodes and placed them inside ceramic cylinders. The bacteria broke down chemicals in urine passed through the cylinders, building up a small amount of electrical charge which was stored on a capacitor. Ieropoulos hoped that the cell, which is currently the size of a car battery, could be developed for many applications. "Our aim is to have something that can be carried around easily," he explained. "So far the microbial fuel power stack (MFC) that we have developed generates enough power to enable SMS messaging, web browsing and to make a brief phone call. "The concept has been tested and it works - it's now for usto develop and refine the process so that we can develop MFCs to fully charge a battery." They hope the technology will eventually be used to power domestic devices. Philippine Star, July 18, 2013 In the Philippines, we only have to thank our sick system of education. It is mostly based upon the power of prayer and theology; hardly based on the power of science and technology. It is, in this way, that we Filipinos know exactly what to do with our urine: we piss on each other on this earth down here; specially for the greater glory of Jesus in heaven up there. Poch Suzara

Indoctrination Masquerading as Education in the Philippines

Since the 16th century, there were far more churches and cathedrals established throughout the Philippines than schools, colleges, and universities. Today in this already 21st century, there are still far more churches and cathedrals. They are, however, masquerading as the system of education in the Philippines!

Indeed, in this only Christian country in Asia, we Filipinos are damned with far more ecclesiastical indoctrination than we are "blessed" with real education. Especially for our scientific growth as a people, and for our civilized development as a nation.

In the meantime, let's seriously consider Jose Rizal's dream: "I would like the Filipino to be Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, Progressive... Worthy, Noble and Honorable."

Indeed, Jose Rizal's - national ideal can only be about love of Fellow-Filipinos and love our country. It should have nothing to do with love of a divinity behind the mystery of theology in order to keep the Philippines poor and backward under the blessings of Christianity? I ask it before, I ask it again: when will the churches and cathedrals, now more established as schools, colleges, universities, not to mention the lawmakers of the Philippines - produce Filipinos decently dreamed of by our national hero - Jose Rizal?

My Mother's Death July 10, 2013

My Dearest Guys and Gals, My sisters and I were all there with her when mother died last July 10 here at home at 10 a.m. She will not make it for her 100th birthday celebration in September 12, 2013. After all the religious ceremonies done, we had her remains cremated July 13. We thank you all and appreciate the condolences, flowers, and mass cards we received for her. My mother's ashes, now in an urn, is with me in my room shelved alongside my library of precious books. In time, we will transfer her urn to be together with my father's ashes in a columbarium at San Isidro church in Pasay city. Soon, I too will be dead. When it is our time to go, it is time to go. When it is not yet our time to go, not even our doctors can kill us. In the meantime, life should be about what happens to us after birth. Life should have nothing to do with what happens to us after death. The bible says: "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." Gen. 3:19. Well, if God created me from dust in his own image and likeness, I really have to need to wager to believe whether God is dust or not. Here, however, is a more sensible wager than Pascal's: If God asked you to wager before being born or not to be born on this earth - what would you choose? In the meantime, my values as an atheist is not so much to get us into heaven, or to keep us out of hell, but to put a little bit of heaven into this earth by taking the hell out of it. This is how we atheists try to live on this earth. We think it more gracious to spread intellectual grace for the human race by rejecting ecclesiastical disgrace from divine grace! The fear of death can only follow from the fear of life. A man who lives courageously should be prepared to die at any time instantaneously. As for me, I said it before, I say it again: If death is the cessation of all that is beautiful, thoughtful, and delightful in what makes life meaningful to live it, then I say: FUCK DEATH!

NEVER MIND INDUSTRIALIZATION. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS OUR ETERNAL SALVATION

We have, in the Philippines all, but all of the natural resources to produce steel, aluminum, bronze, ball bearings, electric motors, engines, compressors, bicycles, trains, motor vehicles, motorcycles, refrigerators, computers, cellphones, wrist watches, radios, televisions, movie cameras, space crafts, sound systems, etc. Unfortunately, we do not have, not by a long shot, the greatest of all natural resources that countries like Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Australia, etc, have: the developed minds and cultivated hearts for growth as a people and development as a nation via industrialization. It should be one of the creative results of a creative system of education. Indeed, in our Catholic schools, colleges, and universities, we have been taught to believe and to have faith, especially during our formative years, that this life in our country, is nothing but a transition to a better life to come after death with God in heaven. Thus, the emphasis on the next better world to come has led us millions of Filipinos to disregard the exploitation of our own natural resources in our own country. We have been taught to believe and to have faith that the only things of true value are those found in the heavenly world of God. Our country, this country belonging to Filipinos is seen as low, depraved, and unworthy of love, respect, and affection. Therefore, the less attention placed on it and the more attention placed on God's kingdom, the better our chances to win eternal salvation. Never mind the works needed for civilization via industrialization! These evils are the works of the devil. In the meantime, among the richest individuals, among the richest investors in the stock market, among the richest owners of land, schools, colleges, universities and other commercial enterprises in the Philippines - are the Catholic Bishops and the Catholic Cardinals. They see to it that the Catholic Vatican bank remains as the richest and most powerful bank in the world. Poch Suzara Facebook# Atheist# Twitter# Google#

Corruption in the Church is far GREATER than Coruption in the Government

What is the difference between corruption in the Philippine government and corruption in the Catholic church: When corrupt government officials are caught, they go to church for the forgiveness of crime. They are usually referred to as "your honor." When corrupt church officials are caught, they also go to church for the forgiveness of sin. They are usually referred to as "your Eminence." In the meantime, the church has always been grateful for the existence of sin and crime; for, without such evils, the church would have crumbled centuries ago. The continued existence of the church therefore has always been about how to keep sin and crime alive and kicking; indeed, how to generate and to promote more sins and more crimes here, and there, and everywhere. Especially for the sake of big business of the church in order to acquire more wealth, power, and glory. The church has always been and still is a haven for the criminals and for the sinners in the Philippines. Thus, corruption in the church is far greater than corruption in the government!

I Am Proud of My Intellectual Freedom

Mental slavery is mental death, and every man who has given up his intellectual freedom is the living coffin of his dead soul. --- Robert G. Ingersoll For my part, I love my intellectual freedom. I enjoy THINKING far more than I enjoy PRAYING. It is, in this way, that I also enjoy fighting to end the greatest evil that's keeping our country poor and backward: mental slavery more known as Christianity. During my formative years in school, I got expelled because I was not afraid to convey to my teachers in class that I love to QUESTION more than I cared for the answers. In the meantime, in La Salle grade school and high school, nothing was important to us students except to repeat and repeat this prayer to: "ST JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE, PRAY FOR US.
