The Holy Bible as a book Written by an Almighty Tootie-Frootie

"If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity." - Deuteronomy 25:11-12 ... My dear religious morons, there is no need to read the whole book of Deuteronomy to logically conclude that the bible is not only the work of divine perversity, supernatural mediocrity, but also, specially, the work of an All-Mighty Tootie-Frootie . . .

Money Wasted in the Promotion of THEISM in the Philippines

“Who can over estimate the progress of the world if all the money wasted in superstition could be used to enlighten, elevate and civilize mankind?” . . . Robert G. Ingersoll. . . For my part, I ask: who can over estimate the growth of the Filipino as a healthy people, and the development of the Philippines as a wealthy nation if all the money wasted in the promotion of THEISM could be used to enlighten, elevate, and civilize the system of education in its schools, colleges, and universities?. . . Indeed, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still taught to believe and to have faith in the promise that in order to be saved by Jesus, we must only love God up there by hating each other and by hating our country down here!...

Women in the bible Treated like pieces of Meat for Sex Activities

You may find the following Bible verses hard to believe even though fundamentalist Christians claim they are inspired by God and everything in the Bible is true for all time and must be taken literally. (Keep in mind that Bible translations differ.) 1. In the Bible's book of Deuteronomy it says that if a man marries a woman and then decides that he hates her, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they married. At that point her father must prove she was a virgin. (How is not explained.) If he can't, then the girl is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep. 2. If you see a pretty woman among your captives and would like her for a wife, then bring her home and "go in unto her." Later, if you decide you don't like her, you can simply "let her go." (Deuteronomy) 3. If a betrothed virgin is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough, then "the men of the city shall stone her to death." (Deuteronomy) 4. In the book of Esther the king apparently decrees a sex contest among young virgin women to see who can best please him. (There is debate on how.) He eventually chooses Esther. However, since women are viewed as inherently dirty, Esther must be "purified" for twelve months before she can be made queen. (Esther) 5. Paul points out in New Testament Romans that "the natural use" of women is to provide men with sex. (Romans) 6. Heaven is to be inhabited by 144,000 virgin men who have not been "defiled" by women. (RE 14:1-4) [One wonders how this squares with God's command to, "Be fruitful and multiply...(Genesis )] 7. A group of sexual depraved men beat on the door of an old man's house demanding that he turn over to them a male house guest. Instead, the old man offers his virgin daughter and his guest's wife: "Behold, here are my virgin daughter and his concubine (wife); let me bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but against this man do not do so vile a thing." The women were subsequently ravished and killed. (JG)) 8. In Exod. we see that it is permissible to sell one's daughter (but apparently not one's son) into slavery.. 9. According to St. Jerome, "Nothing is so unclean as a woman in her periods; what she touches she causes to be unclean." In Leviticus it states, "If a woman conceives and bears a male child, she shall be ceremonially unclean seven days...if she bears a female child she shall be unclean two weeks...." 10. "A woman dropped a stone on his head and cracked his skull. Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, 'Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can't say a woman killed me.' So his servant ran him through, and he died." (Judges) 11. Under God's direction, Moses' army kills all the adult males, but they mercifully just take the women and children captive. When Moses learns that they left some women and children alive, he angrily says: "Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him." Throughout Bible history God is said to demand that thousands, if not millions, of men, women and children be slaughtered. And they are. 12. A man has an obligation to produce a child with his brother's widow. If he refuses, his sister-in-law is to spit in his face in front of the elders. (Deuteronomy 25:5-9) And in case you are Jewish, you may be familiar with the Jewish prayer: "Blessed be the God who has not created me a heathen, a slave or a woman." We've only listed a dozen Bible quotes of this type, but there are many more. Would we be wrong in assuming that even Bible literalists wouldn't want these verses read to their children in Bible School? Plus, what parent would want their children reading Bible verses comparing the size of men's penises to donkey genitals and their sperm flow to that of horses? Books are commonly banned from school libraries for much less. Most Old Testament law dates back centuries to Jewish tribal law and would be considered not only immoral but illegal today. At the same time, fundamentalist, Bible-carrying Christians claim they are the for-all-time, inviolable Word of God... Poch Suzara

Oh God, Why are you only a Useless and only a Mysterious God

"God broke into human history to offer us the gift of eternal life." . . . Phil. Star, Oct. 31, 2013. . . Oh God, my dear God, more than a 100 Billion people already lived and died in this world since centuries ago... You have only always been a USELESS and a MYSTERIOUS God to all of us humans... What reasons have we now to believe that you will be a USEFUL and a MERITORIOUS God to all of us in the next world; if, in fact, there is any? . . . After all, you did inspire your authors to reveal as the truth in the holy bible that - "The living know that they shall die; the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."

Atheism is NOT a Religioin

We are told that Atheism is just like another religion! What a lot of hogwash... atheism is not a religion. THINK ABOUT IT: If I have a hobby as 'a stamp collector' - then I have a hobby. If I do not collect stamps, then how can I have a hobby of "not a stamp collector"? . . . In the meantime, listen to Isaac Asimov: "the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived."... Well, millions of people do not bother to read the bible properly, especially judiciously. That is why millions of people have neither the guts or the gumption to be an atheist. . . Atheism is not a religion because, to begin with, we have no bible to frighten the followers to have a deeper faith in atheism. Atheism has no frightened followers. We atheists have no dogma, no pigma, no hogma to threaten others to be an atheist. No one is ever frightened into atheism. We atheists are all courageous thinkers, as well as enlightened leaders; specially of our own destiny. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Simple Power of Thought

The power of Satan is no match for the power of God's Word . . . Philippine Star, Oct. 30, 2013 . . . I said it before, I say it again: the power of thought, especially the thought that provokes more thought only makes the power of Satan inextricably mixed with the power of God's word both look like two college-educated Filipino politicians in Congress verbally fighting each other over nothing to accomplish for the Philippines more nothing . . . In the meantime, the unbelievers of silly faith do not fear the pain of death; neither do they also do not fear the joys in life... You frightened believers are all twisted spiritually, perverted emotionally, and distorted morally - you jerks do not even know whether you are coming or going. . . Poch Suzara

144,000 Virgin Men in Heaven With God

Heaven is to be inhabited by 144,000 virgin men who have not been "defiled" by women... (Rev. 14:1-4)... What a lot of holy tootie-frootie y biblical patooties - how this square with God's command to, "Be fruitful and multiply... Gen.1:28 . . . And to think that in the Philippines today, we are fructifying and multiplying at the rate of 3 babies every minute daily - or 1.5 million babies added yearly to Our population growth. All of these babies will be taught in schools that for as long as they grow up believing that Jesus is the SAVIOR OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD AT LARGE- - they are assured of a place with God, Jesus, and Mary, the Mother of God in heaven after DEATH!

The Existence of Atheists in the Philippines

We can never be certain of our courage until we face danger... De La Rochefoucauld. . . In the Philippines, the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century, - openly and publicly declare yourself as an "atheist" and you face not only what is dangerous, but also what is, at worst, - ridiculous; or, at best, what is - ludicrous. Nobody, but nobody believes in the existence of human intelligence as the best of health and as the greatest of wealth for Filipinos in the Philippines. . .

I'd Rather Be in Hell!

It was during my grade school and high school days in la Salle some 65 years ago... It was highly impressed upon us students that all of our teachers and professors, due to their deep faith in God, all had better or greater chances of winning eternal salvation with God, and His Son Jesus, and Mary, the Mother of God, - in heaven... I said it then silently to myself: --- "No way, Jose!" Me to also win eternal salvation together with my teachers and professors in heaven --- "over my dead body." I'd rather end up in hell... I'd rather enjoy the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly pleasures of intellectual communications with the souls of thinking men and intelligent women eternally damned forever in hell! ... Indeed, fear not Hell, for if it exists, you shall find yourself there existing along with the rarest kind of people - great thinkers who had the courage to put bring more light into this world of darkness! - - - Poch Suzara

Bruce Lee, Atheist

"Love is like a friendship caught on fire... In the beginning a flame, very pretty, Often hot and fierce, But still only light and flickering... As love grows older, Our hearts mature And our love becomes as coals, Deep-burning and unquenchable" . . . Bruce Lee. . . Oh my dear Bruce Lee, you are indeed a great man, a great martial artist and a famous freedom-fighter - one who has had the courage to put beauty into this world where nature has only put horror. But to me, you are even a greater man because who had the courage to declare to the whole wide world that you are an ATHEIST... from the bottom of my heart - I Thank you... Poch Suzara, Atheist...

Must We Work Hard to Remain Stupid

Sick Prayers to Begin and to End the Sick Day In the Philippines

ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES - not only here, there, and everywhere in our sick society; not only in churches and cathedrals; not only in every home; not only in the schools, colleges, and universities; not only the courts of law; but also in Congress and in the Senate - the day starts with a PRAYER... Then at the end of the day - there is more PRAYER; especially for the forgiveness of our being sick as a people, and for being insane as a nation... In the meantime, I said it before, I say it again, "God is not dead ... He is very much alive and is working on a much greater ambition to insure that the Philippines continue to stay permanently blessed as the only Catholic country in Asia in the centuries yet to come!

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

Difference Between Education and Indoctrination

The difference between education and indoctrination is vast, but it is often subtle when the mind thinks of these two subjects... Education involves the seeking of facts, and learning about what is the truth, and what is not... Indoctrination is aimed at influencing people to believe in facts, without being able to back up these new found facts with anything but opinion... You can be indoctrinated into a political party, a cult, or a belief system... In fact, all of us are indoctrinated into a belief system as we are growing up... Whether our parents or guardians are open and understanding people, or if they are bigoted, and want nothing to do with anyone outside of their own race and affiliations, we are subtly indoctrinated into their belief system... As we grow older, many of us seek education in order to develop our own belief system... Education can be directly supported by data that is derived from facts... Indoctrination tends to use language that encompasses everything, referring to ‘all’, or ‘every’, as though the insights created are a statement of fact for each and every individual of a group... For example: ‘All democrats spend too much money.’ ‘All republicans are religiously oriented and bring the bible to work with them.’ You can’t support these statements of ‘all’ and ‘every’ without actual data... If you believe it, then it has grown from opinion to indoctrination... Education points out that there are different solutions, often to the same problem... Indoctrination poses the belief that there is only one solution to a problem... In Nazi Germany, the solution to growing economic problems was to exterminate all minorities and Jewish citizens, as though this was the only possible solution.... There was no room for any kind of secondary thought to the proposed solution... Education uses statistical analysis to encourage thought toward reasoning, and proposed solution finding... Indoctrination often uses statistics, but has offered no analysis of size, duration, control subjects, criteria, or duration of the gathering of those statistics. Thus, the statistics offered through indoctrination are simply misrepresented, and are used only to support the beliefs being posed... Any statistics that might dispute the beliefs are not brought to attention... Education is unbiased... It is founded in fact, and isn’t there to persuade anyone to come up with a certain belief... Education is development of one’s own beliefs based on the facts that are discovered throughout the process... Indoctrination has an agenda. It is used to encourage the embracing of another’s beliefs, and developing blinding and complete agreement with those beliefs. I said it before, I said it again: For the most part, million of children in school in the Philippines are not being educated... They are being indoctrinated; especially to believe in a lot of hogwash to benefit the officials of the CHURCH, and the politicians in the GOVERNMENT - both corrupt and always in cahoots together. Education in the Philippines has nothing to do with learning HOW TO THINK. It has only everything to do with learning WHAT TO BELIEVE. One can clearly see the results all around us - we are not a people of courageous THINKERS; we are only a nation of frightened BELIEVER more at home at being STUPID as FOLLOWERS than we should be INTELLIGENT as LEADERS!!. . .

The Sick God Down here

Even when all the experts agree, they may well be mistaken. . . [Bertrand Russell] . . . In the Philippines, even if 99 per cent of its population believe in the existence of God - they may well be mistaken. In fact, considering how millions of Filipinos have been twisted spiritually, distorted morally, mutilated religiously, not to mention as a nation always sickened historically - there is no such thing as a kind, loving, merciful, wonderful, and delightful - God up there! - - - There is only the sick God down here! - - - Poch Suzara

We are Made Stupid by Educatiion

Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education. . . Bertrand Russell . . . In the Philippines, however, via schools, colleges, and universities, we have been taught to believe that if we work hard at having endless faith in human stupidity, specially for the glory of Jesus on earth as he is in heaven eternally, - we shall have won eternal salvation after death in the Kingdom of God. . .

God Loves you and He needs Money

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. . . And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money. . . George Carlin. Indeed, after you give money to the church for God, you are then told to smile and to believe that "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God."

They are all Maka-Dios in Our Corrupt Government

"One of the penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors. The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - - - Plato. . .

What is even more amazing about these criminals is that not one of them is an atheist... in fact, they all believe, love, worship, and have faith in God. . . . specially the God who is always in the business of forgiving sins and crimes at any time committed in the government, by the government, and for the government - officials.

What If there is a God?

The death of a child newly born into this world is prove enough that there is no God as its creator. If there were, such a God is cruel and reckless and therefore not worth believing, respecting, or worth admiring... Well, for me, as I am an atheist, and already a senior citizen --- my own death coming soon will only prove that God does not give a hoot whether I believe or do not believed in Him... In the end, it seems that God would rather meet with me not while I am alive, but only after I am dead! Again, proving that God really does not know what the fuck He is a God for --- Indeed, what the fuck was God for as a God to those more than million Billion people who already lived and died on this piece of dust called "earth?" !
