The Greatest of Happiness in Life

God allows sorrows and tears today to open our hearts to the joys of tomorrow. . . Philippine Star Nov. 14, 2013 . . . Oh God, my dear God, whatever happened to the greatest of happiness in life - the power of thought to provoke deeper thoughts that should transform this world into a better world for the here and now with no sorrows and tears? . . .

Education Versus Indoctrination

"We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought. . . Indeed, we are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education. - Bertrand Russell . . . For my part, I was expelled out of high school because even since grade school, I wanted to be an intelligent thinker. I did not care to learn how to be a stupid believer. . .Indeed, to save not my silly soul, but to save instead my precious mind and heart. . . Poch Suzara

Liberty versus Lies and Deceptions

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” ― George Orwell

As for me, in my simplicity, liberty means the right to enjoy not the freedom OF religion, but the freedom FROM religion. Poch Suzara

I Have Yet To Hear About it From God

If God does not approve of the way I live, think, read, and write; indeed, the way I have been educating myself out of school, - how come I never hear about it from God? I only hear about it from the religious jerks, if not from frightened college educated saps?. . . In the meantime, If any of you religious morons want me to believe in God, introduce God to me. In this way, I'd be happy to have a long thought-provoking chat with Him. . . I'd be most anxious to tell God that he has been a LOUSY FUCKING God to all of us Filipinos in the Philippines!

What Philippine Government?

Philippine Government 'Paralyzed' by Typhoon Aftermath. . . CNN News . . . BBC . . . What Philippine government? There is no government of the people, by the people, and for the people in the Philippines! There is only the government of the sick officials, by the sick officials, and for the sick officials! . . . It is very easy to figure out the truth behind this historical horror. Even our government officials, from the lowest to the highest level all believe and have faith that - come what may, GOD WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE FOR THE PHILIPPINES; IF THAT WERE NOT YET FORTH COMING, HIS SON JESUS WILL SOON BE RETURNING TO REMEDY THE ILLS OF OUR SICK COUNTRY. . .

Suffering for Christ's Sake

It is better to suffer for the cause of Christ than for the cause of Christ to suffer... Philippine Star, Nov. 13, 2013 . . . When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity... When millions of people suffer from a delusion, in the Philippines it is called Christianity." . . . In the meantime, let's take a closer look at the essence of Christianity: it is told to us in the Garden of Eden bible story. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge. The lesson is, all the suffering that Adam and Eve had to endure was because they wanted to discover more about the nature of that tree of knowledge. . . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Google# Facebook#

Is Sin Forgivable or Is It Not?

Is There an Unforgivable Sin? Mark 3:28-29: I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them... But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin. There is an unforgivable sin. . . 1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Jesus forgives our sins. No exceptions mentioned. . . Colossians 2:13: When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins. "All" of our sins are forgiven. . . James 5:16: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. . . Romans 3:10: There is none righteous, no, not one. . . For my part, I asked it before, I ask it again: Oh my dear inspired authors of God, how reliable was it for any of you to reveal the REVEALED TRUTH in the Holy Bible? . . .Poch Suzara

Lively Analysis versus Deadly Paralysis

The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one. . . Malcolm Forbes . . . The purpose of indoctrination, however, is to open the mind to learn how to be stupid as believers, and not to learn how to be intelligent as thinkers. . . In our schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century - there is no such thing as education under lively analysis. . . There is only, for the most part, indoctrination under deadly paralysis. . . College-educated writers on these pages are the best examples of what it means to think not under lively analysis; but indeed only to believe, like frightened jerks, under deadly paralysis! . . .

Which or What God

If there were no God, there would be no atheists. --G.K. Chesterton . . . Oh my dear G. K. Chesterton, I am an atheist only because my own teachers in school, friends, associates, and relatives never knew what or which GOD everybody is always talking about; specially as God is suppose to be existing here, there, and existing everywhere? . . . Moreover Sir, you are such a sanctimonious hypocrite, if not a frightened religious sap. . . If there were no atheists, who else will have the intellectual courage to tell the whole world that religion is nothing but historical garbage at best; biblical trash at worst. Poch Suzara

Wow God, What are you a God for?

Safety is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God. . . Philippine Star, Nov. 11, 2013 . . . Wow, What a lot of dogma, pigma, hogma, and sick medulla oblongata. The only Begotten Son of God Jesus, crucified on a cross, cried out loud: "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME?" This was during the 1st century! . . . Today, in the 21st century, I ask: where was God's presence in the recent monster typhoon "Yolanda" that destroyed properties and assets and killed thousands of poor Filipinos not because of their free will to be free from danger, but because God had other divine plans for the Philippines - the only Catholic, God-fearing country in Asia since the 16th century? . . . Wow God, what are you a God for? . . .Poch Suzara . . . Facebook# Twitter# google#

God's Divne Plan

"If we want an increase of Christ, there must be a decrease in self"... Philippine Star, Nov. 10, 2013 . . . In other words, to hell with your Free Will, Just be happy and faithful with God's divine plan no matter how murderous, no matter how homicidal!. . . Poch Suzara

Janet Lim Napoles

I have the greatest admiration for Janet Lim Napoles. With no college education, no high school education, and due to poverty, with just a year or two in grade school - she somehow managed to rescue herself and her family and parents, brothers and sisters, and other friends and relatives out of poverty. With much guts and criminal maneuvering she was able to convince college-educated Congressmen and college-educated Senators to connive with her in stealing BILLIONS OF PESOS - the people's money that's suppose to belong to the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. As a high school expelled student, I envy the success of no-read-no-write Janet Lim Napoles. . . I am still trying to successfully convince college-educated men and women in the government including my friends, associates, and relatives that it is preoccupation with possession more than anything else that prevents us from living freely, nobly, and greatly. They just laugh at me. Just like my teachers in school. They all got peeved with me when I tried to tell them that my "questions" are far more precious than their "answers" because, in time, their answers will become obsolete. . . . Poch Suzara!

Wasted Centuries

Waiting for God is never a waste of time . . . Philippine Star Nov. 9, 2013 . . . In the Philippines, however, waiting for God is a waste of centuries. . . Indeed, ever since the 16th century, millions upon millions of us Filipinos have never ceased to pray to God for our healthy growth as a people, and for our wealthy development as a nation. Thus far, however, we are still spiritually sick as a people, and still sick economically and sick and backward morally as a nation - we are only told to just keep on praying! - - - And like frightened damned fools - in this already 21st century, we are still busy, faithful, and sick with our sick prayers! . . .

God as a Super-Atheist

God is not only An Atheist, but a Super-Atheist . . . In the realm of the natural, humans differ in their views about how the universe came into existence. . . While some claim that a supernatural being created the universe, others claim that the universe came into existence without having been created by some supernatural influence. . . Traditionally, we call the first group "theists" and the second group "atheists". . . Let's assume for the sake of argument that God does indeed exist, and that he created the natural universe that we live in. . . Let's also further assume that religions that claim to be revealed by God are in fact revealed by God. . . Let's go even more and assume that what God revealed is what God believes is true (ie. God is not lying to us). . . So what is revealed to us through religions is that God of religions created this universe, and that he was not created, but rather God came into existence without having been created by some kind of "super god". . . The question becomes: Is God an atheist? Certainly God cannot prove nor disprove the claim that he was created by some "super god"... So in reality the fact that God does not believe in the existence of a "super god" in a very real sense makes him super-atheist!!! Poch Suzara

The Priesthood Industry - the Killers of Philosophers

"The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers." --- Denis Diderot . . . In the Philippines, however, the priests have killed only one great Philosopher - Jose Rizal. . . Ever since then there never was any more philosophers existing in this only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. . . Poch Suzara

The Horrors of opinions, Ancient Knowledge, and Faith

The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge. . . Elbert Hubbard. . . In the Philippines, as college-educated Filipinos, we are not only satisfied with our opinions, not only contented with our knowledge, but we are also most proud of our faith in the Jewish Son of God Jesus born of a Virgin Mary impregnated by a holy Spirit in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago. . .

The Absurdity of Payer

George Bush says he speaks to God every day, and Christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to God through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd. . . Sam Harris . . . When you are talking to God, you are praying . . . When God is talking to you, you are hallucinating. . .

What or Who is God

"The atheist does not say 'there is no God,' but he says 'I know not what you mean by God; I am without idea of God'; the word 'God' is to me a sound conveying no clear or distinct affirmation. ... The Bible God I deny; the Christian God I disbelieve in; but I am not rash enough to say there is no God as long as you tell me you are unprepared to define God to me." -- Charles Bradlaugh . . . Oh my dear Charles Bradlaugh, in the Philippines, GOD means Jesus, the Jewish Son of a Virgin Mary impregnated by the Holy Spirit more than 2,000 years ago. As to who or what the Holy Spirit is, nobody knows, not even the millions of college educated men and women know what "holy" means. Or whether the existence of something holy is a He or a She or an It. In the meantime, I am often asked: Why does it bother me that other people believe in God? . . . In a nutshell, for the same reason it SHOULD bother you: to have frightened saps and jerks who are mentally sick, pushing their lies and deceptions and delusions upon the rest of society, specially to twist and distort the the innocent minds of children in school! . . .

Research

"Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing." - Wernher Von Braun (1912-1977) . . . In my case, as a high school expelled student, research is my way of verifying whether there was any validity or even reliability as to my teacher's stand in school that their answers have been far more precious than my questions!. . . In the meantime, Scientists Stephen Hawking said it briefly and truthfully: - "The Greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." . . . For my part, I said it before, I say it again: the greatest enemy against the growth of human intelligence is not hard thinking, but easy believing. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Google# facebook#

The Existence of Evil in the Philippines

There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless. . . W. Somerset Maugham. . . My dear Somerset Maugham, I entirely agree with you; except that in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia - it is highest form of stupidity, if not the lowest form of insanity if we Filipinos only continue to believe and to have faith in the existence of evil as the necessary part of the order of the universe that makes us famous as the Sick Man on this earth gifted with a Free Will by God in heaven. . .
