Atheism as a Worldwide Movement Today

Atheism today in this 21st century is a worldwide movement without frightened followers. Without timid saps. Without dumbstruck jerks. We atheists are all enlightened leaders; especially of our destiny. We atheists know where we are going as we live the good life - one inspired by love and compassion for humanity. When we die, we atheists die sober, and not drunk with lies and deceptions! We atheists do not bother with nor worry about the hereafter, since there never was, to begin with, a herebefore?

A Childish Invisible I AM WHO AM

Existence is infinite, no beginning and no end. Being infinite is unchangeable, being unchangeable is being perfect. God being existence itself is therefore perfect. "I AM WHO AM"... Enrique Amador What does it matter if God had a beginning or had no beginning; if God has an end or no end? What counts is that the invisible and the non-existent look very much alike. It amounts to the same NOTHING! Oh well, what can you expect from a mysterious God who is never OMNIPRESENT; as God is only always OMNI-ABSENT! Why I should I bother to believe such theological garbage? Specially as God will impress me with His existence but only after I am dead, not while I am still alive! Wow! What a childish invisible I AM WHO AM!... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Mess Behind God's Creation of the Earth

The heaven where God has always lived is not physical. It has not been created. God is spirit (John_4:24). He does not need a physical place to live in. He does not need pictures or images or temples or mosques or churches or shrines to live in (Acts 17:24-25)... Really! If this were so why bother to create the mess on earth when He could have simply created things to exist happily with Him already existing in heaven? Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Prison Reforms? What About Education Reforms?

Prisons have very serious health implications. In our country, Filipino prisoners are likely to have existing health problems on entry to prison, as they are predominantly from poorly educated and socio-economically deprived sectors of the general population, with minimal access to adequate health services. Their health conditions deteriorate in prisons which are overcrowded, where nutrition is poor, sanitation inadequate and access to fresh air and exercise often unavailable. Psychiatric disorders, HIV infection, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, sexually transmitted diseases, skin diseases, malaria, malnutrition, diarrhoea and injuries including self-mutilation are the main causes of morbidity and mortality in prison. In our country, with a high prevalence of TB in the outside community, prevalence of TB can be up to 100 times higher inside the prisons. In most countries HIV infection in prisons is significantly higher than within the population outside prison, especially where drug addiction and risk behaviours are prevalent. Prison staff are also vulnerable to most of the diseases of which prisoners are at risk. Prison reforms? What about education reforms in our poor and backward country? Indeed, schools, colleges, and universities are places where most of our sinners and criminals are the sick products of. Specially college-educated sick sinners and sick criminals who end up occupying high positions in the judicial, executive, and legislative branches of our sick government! As an atheist, I said it before, I say it again: radical reforms in any society can only achieved via radical reforms of its worthless beliefs and mindless values. After all, it is nature's decree: on this earth, the aim of life as a people should be self-improvement via thinking; and the aim of life as a nation is self-development via more thinking. Nothing else matters. Nothing else counts! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

In the Republic of Mediocrity

The man who has been schooled not do his own thinking is a slave, a sap, jerk, a religious moron, and is a traitor to himself and to his fellowmen. In the meantime, in the Republic of Mediocrity, rare men of intelligence feel frustrated and disappointed like yours truly in this God-forsaken country of ours - the Philippines - the only catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

Solutions to Non-existing Problems

The religious morons ask: what is the cause the universe?" I would rather ask an intelligent question: "Does the universe require a causal explanation?" Here's more of a question that is based upon stupidity: "what is responsible for the design in nature?" Rather, I should first ask: Does nature exhibit design?"... Indeed, to prove a supernatural "first cause" the believer must demonstrate, not assume, that the universe requires a causal explanation. To prove a supernatural designer, the believer must demonstrate, not assume, that the universe exhibits design. Failure to clarify this conflicting issues totally invalidates any supposed solutions derived from the assumed non-existing "problems." Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#.

My Death as an Atheist

"Although the time of death is approaching me, I am not afraid of dying and going to Hell or (what would be considerably worse) going to the popularized version of Heaven. I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism." [Isaac Asimov, "On Religiosity", Free Inquiry]... As for me, 79 years old, my doctors tell me that my time on this earth is getting shorter. I can go any time now. My response to my doctors - "The day we are born is the day we begin to live in a dying body. So what is there to fear about the reality of death?" ... For millions of years before I was born, I was existing peacefully as a nothing. I had no need to believe in a silly God. Well, after my death, I will again be existing peacefully as a nothing. It will be utterly silly for me to believe that I will have to face a silly God after I am dead; especially to judge me! . . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

GOD WILL PROVIDE JUST LISTEN

"God speak through His word to those who listen with their heart." Philippine Star, Dec. 18, 2014. WOW God, at your age, shame on you! Why not just speak up for all to hear? In fact, after all these past centuries, don't you think that it is time for you to be omnipresent? Why are you only always omni-absent? I still remember my teachers in grade school, my parents, grand-parents, and great grand-parents at home always bragging that "GOD WILL PROVIDE!" Thus far, oh God, aside from a lot of spiritual garbage and ecclesiastical trash, what else have you provided for us millions of poor Filipinos in the Philippines?

In the Beginning

In the beginning God created the heavens and earth. Genesis 1:1... Is this some kind of a sick joke? How could God create anything in the beginning when the theologians tell us that God himself had no beginning? I think it would be more truthful if we say that in the beginning God created the sinners. That was for practice. Then in time God created schools, colleges, and universities to educate such sinners so that they may multiply and replenish the earth with more sinners; especially in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

Unrevealed Truths in the Bible

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence." ... Bertrand Russell . . . As for me, as a serious reader of the bible myself, I have noticed that there is neither a testament of any kind about the existence of germs, viruses, and bacteria in the small down here; nor a testament of any kind about the existence of the trillions of stars comprising the billions of galaxies in the large out there.

GOD WILL BLESS YOU OR CURSE YOU

God says in the bible: "I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU, THE ONES WHO CURSES YOU WILL BE CURSED" (Genesis 12:3)... WOW GOD! Don't you have far more important things to do with your everlasting existence? In the meantime, my dear reader, I ask: have you ever met any one who has been blessed by God? How? Indeed, blessed as one who is still alive enjoying his or her life under lively analysis; and not one who is already dead and buried in the cemetery blessed under deadly paralysis? . . .

Waiting for Christ to Return

"Look for Christ's return and you'll live for Christ's glory." Philippine Star, Dec. 15, 2014. . . Oh yeah, for sure! While waiting for Christ to return, You'll also leave this world one day a more degraded place than you were born into it. The exact opposite in what I should wish to accomplish in life: As an atheist and a humanist I should like to leave this world a better place than I found it. Not necessarily in the material, but in the humanitarian sense. Indeed, a world where the evils of religion destroying the minds and hearts of children no longer exist at home, in schools, colleges, and universities. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Poor Filipinos Still Living in a Poor Philippines

“Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know — the Church does neither.” ― Robert G. Ingersoll . . . I said it before, I say it again: there is neither progress of Filipinos as a people, nor progress of the Philippines as a nation only because the catholic church owns not only the minds and hearts of the Filipinos as a people; and, also owns the Philippines as a nation. In fact, the Philippines has been and still is the only Catholic country in all of Asia since the 16th century... Take a good look at the history of the Philippines from the 16th century to the 21th century: every single Filipino, woman, and child believed and have great faith in God. And yet, we Filipinos still live in the DARK AGES! Indeed, the truth hurts, but lies are far more damaging and can last for more than 500 years. . . In the meantime, when one man suffers from a delusion, it is called "insanity." When, however, millions of people suffer from the same delusion, like in the Philippines, it is called "Christianity."

New Ideas

Most people hate to entertain new and useful ideas. They would rather enjoy the pleasures of the old and useless ideas. In the meantime, we can only transform this ancient world into a modern world with the power of new ideas. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Gay Marriages

I have nothing against Gay Marriages. In fact, I am 100 per cent in favor of it. Married Gay couples do not breed unloved and unwanted children. They adopt them! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Oh Jesus, My Dear Jesus

"One measure of our love for Christ is our sensitivity to the needs of others... Philippine Star, Dec. 11, 2014. . . Oh Jesus, my dear Jesus, what about you? How exactly have you also been sensitive to the needs of others; specially to the the needs of millions of poor Filipinos - the only Christians as a people in all of Asia since the 16th century?

Ask God for Directions

"Ask God for directions because He knows the way," Philippine Star, Dec. 10, 2014 ... Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly since the 16th century, millions upon millions of Filipinos have been asking God for directions. Sadly, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still lost and aimless as a people, and still lost and directionless as a nation. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

From Mary, the Mother of God

"From Mary we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone. From Mary we learn to love Christ her son and the son of God." Pope Paul 11... Come on Mary, Wake up! The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to women has been and still is, to the last degree, not only contemptible, but also despicable. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Savior of Which or What World

"God's gift to the world is the life-giving Savior." --- Philippine Star, Dec. 9, 2014 . . . Unfortunately, Jesus, the Son of God, the Savior of the world, just like God, His Father, is always only omni-absent, never omnipresent. And to think this has been going on for more than 2,000 years already. In the meantime, thanks to our sick religion, we remain sick not only as a people, but also sick as a nation still waiting for a miracle to save us away not only from natural calamity, but from the most destructive of hisotrical forces - Christianity...

Is it God's grace or God's disgrace

"God's grace is infinite love expressing itself through infinite goodness." . . . Philippine Star, Dec. 8, 2014 This is true. Unfortunately, historically, to benefit not our poor and backward country; but only to benefit the wealth, power, glory, and authority of the priesthood industry that, on the whole, has been and still is mindless, directionless, and therefore utterly worthless. Look at us as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. We continue to be poor spiritually, impoverished morally, twisted culturally, distorted economically, and directionless as a nation historically.... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
