How and Why a Million Babies are Born yearly in the Philippines

The 1.5 to 1.9 million babies born yearly in the Philippines are not produced by educated and happy women happily married to a happy husband living in a happy home with a happy job in a happy office; but produced mostly by miserable, frightened, and homeless tootie, frootie, and patooties obeying the power and authority of the Catholic bishops; especially for the greater glory of Christianity in the Philippines in this 21st century.

Religion Has done More Harm than Good in Schools, colleges, and Universities

My only wish is. . . to transform friends of God into friends of man, believers into thinkers, devotees of prayer into devotees of work, candidates for the hereafter into students of the world, Christians who, by their own procession and admission, are "half animal, half angel" into persons, into whole persons. Ludwig Feuerbach . . . For my part, I wish to see millions of Filipinos students enrolled in Catholic schools, colleges, and universities visit more often its library to read and read. I hate to see them visit more often its chapel to pray and pray like dumbstruck religious morons. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Restoring The Public's Faith in the Government

Restoring the public's faith in the government? It will be more of the same old mess. Faith is nothing more than pretending to know something, when in fact we know nothing. Faith is worse than reckless thinking. It is unthinking. Instead of faith, what we need from the government officials is to prove to the people daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly that the Philippine government is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people; and not a government of the government officials, by the government officials, and for the government officials. Especially as they are still so faithful saying their prayers to God daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly for the forgiveness of their sins and crimes. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Ask God for a New Brain

"For a new start, ask God for a new heart." Philippine Star, July 31, 2014... For Christ's sake, why not ask God for a new brain? After all, we Filipinos are not worth dying for; we are worth thinking for. But then again, God gave Adam and Eve not intelligent brain, but instead gave them heart with a Free will. Look at the results: Both were thrown out of paradise. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Spiritual Typhoon to Visit the Philippines in 2015

Pope Francis will arrive in January 2015 to visit the victims of " Typhoon Yolanda." The horror typhoon that caused the death of more than ten thousand Filipinos - men, women, and children; and, that destroyed billions worth in assets, and properties in Tacloban, Samar more than a year ago. The catholic church is stating that this visit by Pope Francis will be the greatest of typhoons - a "Spiritual Typhoon" for the Filipinos in the Philippines. . . Proudly, Pope Francis will be here in the Philippines to remind millions of us poor Filipinos never to abandon our faith in the good, merciful, and loving God who has never failed to provide for the Philippines - being the only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago. . .

The Sick Children of Asia

We do NOT produce more rice, more corn, more coconuts, more garlic, more onions, more potato, more cabbage, and, indeed, more fruits, more chickens, cows, pigs and goats, and other kinds of goodies. We only produce more babies. We produce 3 babies every minute, 180 babies every hour, 4320 every day, 30,240 babies every week, 120,960 babies every month, or 1.5 to 1.9 million babies every year. . . When we are told by the sick church officials in cahoots with the sick government officials that there is economic growth and prosperity in the Philippines, it is lie. There is only the population growth that's keeping us directionless as a people and rudderless as a nation. Specially for the glory not of our country down here, but only for the glory of a sick divinity up there!. . . In the meantime, I imagine the Filipino as the most active and creative exporters, proudly; and not anymore as the stupid importers, shamelessly. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# facebook# Google#

Let's Be More Truthful than Faithful

Most children at home and in school are taught to be more faithful than truthful. Thus, as they grow up to be men and women - they are only frightful of this world instead of making it more meaningful, beautiful, delightful, joyful and peaceful. . . In the meantime, because of, and due to, our stupid religion, we are not a people of intelligent readers and thinkers; only a nation of frightened believers and stupid endless prayers...

Poor People in America and in the Philippines

There are some people in America who are so poor. They have nothing going for them except money. In the Philippines, however, millions of Filipinos are even poorer. They have nothing going for them except faith in Christianity, especially in the Son of a Divinity. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Sick religion Poisons Everything

Religion poisons everything, a menace to civilization. It has become a threat to human survival... Christopher Hitchens... Oh my dear Christopher Hitchens, the poorest and the most backward country in Asia today is the Philippines. Thanks to religion as the main feature of a sick system of education, millions upon millions of Filipinos are still being taught in its schools, colleges, and universities to believe that life after birth is but a meaningless transition - a matter of damnation; but life after death will be more meaningful - a matter of eternal salvation. Thus, there is no such thing in the Philippines as the birth, growth, and development of civilization. There is only the growth of a sick population for the sake of Jesus and His sick gang behind the holy congregation operating tax-free in our poor and backward country as religious corporations.

Jesus Never died On the Cross

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the best attested fact of ancient history. . . Phil Star, July 29, 2014. . . And it is for this reason that you religious saps should stop bragging about how Jesus Christ died on the cross since on the third day he resurrected back to life to spread the Gospels. . . In the meantime, Jesus was, indeed, a failure not only as the Savior of the world; but also, especially a miserable failure in converting his own people - the Jews, into becoming Christians or catholic like the Filipinos in the Philippines. Israel today is not a Christian or a Catholic country; it is still a Jewish State. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

President Benigno Simeon Aquino delivered his 5th State of the Nation Address (SONA) yesterday in the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasang Pambansa. While he tried very hard to paint a rosy picture of SONA, the reality on the ground paints a different picture.

The real State of the Nation is an active conflict with China, asserting its ownership of territories in the West Philippine Sea. The real State of the Nation is thousands of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in harm’s way in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Israel, Sudan, Malaysia, and Singapore.

The real State of the Nation is the price of garlic is P300 per kilo. The real State of the Nation is the failure to rehabilitate Yolanda-damaged areas after nine months. Also, the failure to complete the housing program for Zamboanga City victims of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) siege.

The 100 millionth baby, named Chonalyn Sentino, was born at the Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital in Manila. Congratulations to 17-year-old Princess Mary Superal, for winning the US Girls’ Junior Golf Championship at Flagstaff, Arizona. Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla boycotted the SONA. The 55,000-seat Philippine Arena of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) was finished in 2 years and 9 months. Maybe INC executives should be asked to serve as consultants of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

The Filipino is worth thinking for

"Self-deception is the worst tragedy of the Filipino as a people." Historian Teodoro A. Agoncillo. . . Oh my dear Historian-Professor-Friend Agoncillo, thanks to our self-deception as a people, we are experiencing in this 21st century, a far more painful tragedy as a nation - our needless growth in population. We are now growing by 3 babies born every minute; or, 4320 babies daily; or, 129,600 babies monthly; or, 1,555,200 babies born yearly. According to the latest statistic - our population is now 100,000,000 million. At the rate of growth at 15 million Filipinos every 10 years by the year 2050 our population would have reached around 200 million Filipinos. . . I said it before, I say it again. In order to solve our troubles and problems as a nation in the here and now - it is not enough to believe that the Filipino is worth dying for. In fact, we better start believing that the Filipino is worth thinking for; especially if we hope to have a better future for the generations to come practising seriously birth control and family planning.

God Created the cosmos out of WHERE and WHEN?

"Only God could create the cosmos out of nothing." Philippine Star, July 28, 2014 . . . The first verse of the Bible reads: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” Genesis 1:1 . . . Since the creation of the cosmos also entailed the creation of space and time, the question arises: where was God located before He created space, and when was it before He created time? Indeed, aside from being busy washing the feet of the devil, what else was God doing trillions of years before He created the cosmos billions of years ago! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Beware of the Great Religions of the World

Beware of false knowledge, it is more dangerous than ignorance. . . George Bernard Shaw . . . Beware of the great religions of the world - Christianity, Islam, and Judaism - have been and still are the greatest of evils. Each historically have been based upon lies and malevolence on the one hand, and on the other hand, based upon fear and ignorance. All have done nothing for this world except to spread more hate and violence as inspired by divine ordinance!. . . Poch Suzara

Who Speaks for the Earth - for the Philippines

Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring. . . Carl Sagan Let us look deep at those who are spiritually malnourished; and let us look deeper at our morally impoverished society. Then let us conclude that our self-imposed maladies are mostly due to, if not derived from - the sick bible and its sick teachings. Indeed, look at us Filipinos in this already 21st century. We still believe that human life is a defect, and that we need not bother with reconstruction. We must only seek obliteration. It is, in this way, that the religious traders or bible brokers still find it highly profitable to be selling what millions of anxious Filipinos are buying: - Jesus! In the meantime, there is nothing more destructive in our history than the hopeless resignation of our women to the outrages she has been taught to believe are declared to be ordained by Jesus. Who speaks for the Philippines? We, the filipino atheists. We love not divinity up there. Instead, we love our country down here. We atheists speak for the Philippines.

The National Security of the USA

"Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." Thomas Jefferson . . . Oh my dear Thomas Jefferson, as an American citizen, I regret to say that in this already 21st century we Americans have nothing going for us except the existence of our "Military-Industrial-University Complex." They are for the sake of nothing but the national security of the United states of America ready and willing not only to negotiate, but also to finance Terrorists existing everywhere in the world! Especially to keep the economy of the USA reviving and surviving. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Choices we Make in Life

Your life is a result of the choices you make. If you don't like your life, it is time to start making new choices. Anonymous. For my part, I was quite miserable in school. My teachers were making choices for me to cherish and to have faith in. I therefore worked out to have better choice for myself - I got expelled, happily and sensibly, out of high school. Ever since then, under self-education, as an atheist, I learned to love, with much gusto, my life. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
