Corruption in the Media and Courts in the Philippines

"The Philippines had a rambunctious press but it did not check corruption. Individual press reporters could be bought, as could many judges." - Lee Kuan Yew... Indeed, what could be expected of writers and editors of the media, and the lawyers and judges in court educated under a catholic system of education in grade school, and in college to believe there is always available from God the forgiveness of sin and crime at any time. Especially if we were more loyal and devoted to Christian values and beliefs than we should be loyal and in love with our own country. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# google#

The Lucky and Fortunate people of Singapore

"The Singaporeans just do not realize how lucky and fortunate they are. Lew Kuan Yew, their Prime Minister of some 30 years, never attended grade school, high school, and college own and operated by the Catholic church. Otherwise, Singapore would be just as poor and backward, messy, sick, and corrupt, aimless and rudderless as the Philippines is today as the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century... In the meantime, most Asian countries growing and developing with science and technology, its people are working and thinking, working and working all the time. In the Philippines, we Filipinos are always only praying and praying daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Who the Fuck is this Satan?

"If we hold on to God's truth, we won't be trapped by Satan's lies." ... Philippine Star, March 27, 2015. . . Now wait a minute! Who is this Satan? Where the fuck did he come from? Who the fact created Satan? And how come he is able to tell lies just like our corrupt politicians in the government know how to tell lies to the people!... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

We Have no College-educated Leaders for our country

In our poor and backward country, since more than a century ago, we have college-educated lawyers, doctors, engineers, architects, importers, exporters, stock brokers, not to mention college-educated writers, editors, mayors, governors, congressmen, senators, presidents; indeed, we even have college-educated theologians, teachers, and professors. Sadly, unfortunately, and historically, we have yet to have college educated leaders to lead us to grow in health as a decent people, and to lead us to develop in wealth as a decent nation... Golly, even the millions of college-educated men and women in this God-forsaken country are all just waiting for the coming to Jesus to remedy the ills of our society society...

The Examined Vagina

The un-examined life is worth living. - Socrates... The un-examined belief is not worth having. - Nick Fatool... Well, here's something to think about: The examined vagina is not worth fucking. After all, there is nothing uglier in this world than the existence of a vagina... And to think men, having come out of it, would even kill each other just to enter back in. Oh yes, the vagina is the alter by which all men worship. . . Well, here's something even more ticklish to think about: The most sellable item at any time and anywhere in the world today is the ugly vagina. Well, I said it before, I say it again: if we live in a sick world populated mostly by sick men, it mainly due to a sick creator! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Intimidated Atheists

I envy the gays and the lesbians. Decades ago, they were laughed at, threatened, insulted, maltreated, ostracized, frightened, beaten, tortured, lynched, burned, and hanged. But they stood their ground to vigorously fight hatred and bigotry. Today, the gays and lesbians are the accepted parts of mainstream society. They are in government as politicians, in church as priests and nuns, in trade and commerce as businessmen and businesswomen, in schools, colleges, and universities as teachers and professors, creative artist in the advertising industry, actors and actresses in the film industry, golly they are even the loved moms and respected dads raising decent children... Except the frightened atheists. We are still behaving like a bunch of intimidated freaks. Instead of evolving publicly; we would rather be recoiling privately. We are still afraid to expose the power of knowledge that got us to be atheists to begin with. We are still hiding inside the dark closet. For Christ’s sake, there are even existing atheist today who are famous authors, lawyers, educators, philosophers, and scientists but they are among the first idiots to intimidate fellow atheist not to identify our true identity in public as “atheist.” After all, they insists: the word “atheist” connotes something of a criminal, if not some kind of an animal. I say: fuck that shit!... In this already 21st century, we atheists are left out like a bunch of crippled idiots in a quagmire stuck away from the decent struggle to promote tolerance for our rights to openly exist as atheists too. We continue to be frightened hiding under the pressure from those who enjoy exalting fear and fanaticism for and in this world that forever needs feeding... I said it before, I say it again: ATHEISTS, STAND UP AND SPEAK UP. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN ESPECIALLY MORE SELF-RESPECT AND HUMAN DIGNITY! . . .

I Walked Alone Proudly and Happily

The one who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been before... Albert Einstein . . . For my part, as a high school expelled student of some 65 years ago, though poor and virtually a nobody, I am nevertheless most happy and proud still enrolled as a student in the greatest of all universities - it is but a collection of books...

The Sick Liars of our Sick Government

'I was Lee Kuan Yew of Makati.'. . VP Jejomar Binay . . . Wow, VP Binay, how do you explain the fact that thousands of college educated Filipinos are working as "employees" in Singapore... While there is not one college-educated Singaporean working as an "employee" in our poor and backward only Catholic country in Asia? More Wow Sir, where are the honest and decent leaders you produced for Makati when, after 20 years in office, you ceased to be the mayor of Makati? . . . Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

The ills of the World are Still to Sick Religions

"Almost all of the progress in the world from the earliest times is attributable to science and the scientific way of thinking; almost all of the ills are attributable to religion." --- Bertrand Russell . . . In the Philippines, in this already 21st century, millions of us Filipinos are still quarreling like a bunch of religious morons on what is revealed as truth or what is not revealed as the truth in the stupid bible - a book of lies written thousands of years ago by inspired Jewish saps and superstitious primitives of God...

The Knowledge of God

"The thought of God staggers the mind but to know Him satisfies the heart." --- Philippine Star, March 19, 2015 . . . In the meantime, most men, specially those proud and faithful of their school-boy mentality; indeed, those with twisted minds, and with mutilated hearts, would readily declare that they know this about God; or, that they know that about God; but they have not the foggiest notion what "knowing" means...

The Philippines as the Only Catholic Country in Asia Since 500 years ago

The Catholic resolution to find the Philippines poor, ugly, messy, and dirty has made the Philippines poor, ugly, messy, and dirty. Indeed, this is one truth revealed in the bible: "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. Well, thanks to Catholicism as the only Catholic country in Asia since 500 years ago, millions upon millions of Filipinos have neither love nor affection for the Philippines.

The Existence of Nothing is less Harmful

"God's warning are to protect us, not to punish us." - Philippine Star, March 14, 2015... Wow God, after all of these past years, nay, after all of these past centuries, you are still playing childish games with the billions of people you have created. And you are accomplishing WHAT as you are already a God here, a God there,and a God everywhere? ... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Cruel Existence of Something

Religion has actually 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 special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time... But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit! - George Carlin... The existence of nothing has never harmed anybody. Why then should a good God create something only to harm everybody? Look at the way God created all of us. When we arrived into this world via mother's womb: we were all wet, hungry, crying, bloodied, uncircumcised, and as unbelievers of the faith. We had no religion as babies. We were all atheists. In fact, if all of us came out of mother’s womb happy, smiling, clean, healthy, well-fed, and already believing in the existence of the Supreme Being - no need for the atheists to make a fuss about the cruel existence of something. Consider the day we are born is the day we also begin to live in a dying body. Moreover, “When we are born we cry, that we come to this great stage of fools.” Well, for my part, as a growing thinking boy in school, I thought I'd better get myself expelled out of that greater stage of fools hardly referred to as acquiring a sick kind of education under the sick existence of De La Salle University! ...

The Reflection of the Filipino Minds and Hearts

Travel anywhere in the Philippines and you will see the exact reflection of the Filipino minds and hearts: garbage here, trash there, and filth, soot,toxic waste, pollution, and human degradation everywhere. Indeed, we are all born ignorant, not untidy. We are made untidy by education. Such is the power of education as we Filipinos are the dirty products of a Catholic system of education! For my part, I am most proud and happy that as a catholic student some 65 years ago, I got expelled out of La Salle high school. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Buddha - the Atheist

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” Buddha.

Nothing is Certain but Death and Taxes

"In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes."Benjamin Franklin. In the Philippines, however, nothing is certain but death, sin and crime of the politicians as government officials, and tax-exemption of the priesthood industry whose main business is to forgive the sins and crimes of the corrupt politicians in the government.

Faith, Hope, happiness, and Fear

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 ... Well, to be begin with, faith in reality is the worst of all evils; it prolongs the torments of man. It is just like happiness derived from faith - it is only for those who have been taught how to live in fear. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
