Democracy as Mediocracy in the Philippines

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. - H. L. Mencken . . . In the Philippines, the collective wisdom of individual ignorance is considered one of the great blessings from Jesus on earth as he is in heaven... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Oh Dear, My Dear Ravi Zacharias

Everyone - pantheist, atheist, skeptic, polytheist - has to answer these questions: 'Where did I come from? What is life's meaning? How do I define right from wrong and what happens to me when I die?' Those are the fulcrum points of our existence. . . Ravi Zacharias Oh dear, my poor dear Ravi, have you ever considered living the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge? It is one of best ways in trying to leave this world, our world one day as better place than how we found it. Not necessarily in the material, but in the humanitarian -sense. For my part, as a atheist, I say: fuck death and the "hereafter." There is not even such as thing as a "herebefore." So why bother with either eternal salvation or eternal damnation since there is "civilization" in the here and now we have yet to improve upon as thinking and as decent human beings! Specially for the sake of future generations of humanity to come! . . . Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Secret of Writing and the Pleasures of Thinking

Rewriting is the secret to good writing. Embrace it, and you will produce final drafts of interest. Reject it, and you will limit your writing to mediocrity. Always remember – you are writing to express the power of your thought, not to impress your readers with lies and deceptions... Nick Fatool. In the meantime, the love of writing and re-writing; and, the love of reading and re-reading pretty much amount to the joys in life under the pleasures of thinking...

New and Fresh Ideas versus the Old and Useless beliefs and Values

It is sad and pathetic: college-educated Pinoys and Pinays are among the first to fear new and fresh ideas that could transform the lives of millions of poor Filipinos to live in and work in his own country with dignity ans self-respect. Ironically, said new and fresh ideas are mostly about the total rejection of the old and sick beliefs and values that keep the Filipino poor as a people and sick as a nation.

Bertrand Russell as a Great Spirit Says Albert Einstein

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly." - Albert Einstein, letter to Morris Raphael Cohen, professor emeritus of philosophy at the College of the City of New York, March 19, 1940. Einstein is defending the appointment of Bertrand Russell to a teaching position.`Poch Suzara Facebook# Google# Twitter#

Jesus and His promise to the THIEF crucified alongside Him

Then Barabbas, the thief said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:42-43... This promise could have been kept, unless Jesus went to heaven that day, which is contrary to the Christian doctrine that when he was dead he spent the succeeding three days and nights in the heart of the earth or according to the Apostle's Creed in hell)... Well, Jesus could have been truthful had he promised the thief that he will resurrect back to life centuries later and he will end up to be a congressman or a senator in the Philippine government...

GOD DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING

"God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." Genesis 1:31...NO KIDDING? What was very good about the beasts of prey, serpents, sharks, deadly virus, murderous parasites, sickly worms; not to mention typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods; and the tree of knowledge of good and evil that evolved into schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Catholic church in the Philippines?... Now here's something even more ticklish as a revealed truth: If God saw everything that he had made was very good, how come in Genesis 6:6 it says that: "It repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at his earth." It is hard to believe that there were already greedy, selfish, stupid, sick and insane Americans living on this earth at that time! Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

Why Atheists Hate God

Why Atheists Hate God? Don't tell me you don't hate God because he doesn't exist. I know in your dark, evil heart you hate God. So be honest and tell us why you hate God... Atty Anoy Vanoy. . . We atheists hate God because after all this time, after all these past centuries God has yet to learn how to behave like a great and wonderful God that He is suppose to be! What's the purpose of God existing when He is only existing as a worthless, a useless, and a mindless Being always omni-absent, never omni-present: More than 100 billion people have already lived and died on this earth since the days of Adam and Eve - how come God has never created an improve version of man or woman - they are still the same saps and jerks as they have been existing centuries ago! I said it before, I say it again: It is time for us Filipinos to study not the "Word of God," but to face the "work of God" without fear. Look at God as a reality in the Philippines - dirty, messy, corrupt, aimless, and rudderless as the only Catholic country in Asia!... Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Atheists are Corrupt, they do Abominable Deeds, NO KIDDING?

... The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the Lord? Psalm 14:1-4 . . . NO KIDDING: So what are you dumbstruck religious morons doing, nay, crying or shouting that THERE IS A GOD in FACEBOOK founded by Mark Zuckerberg - an atheist?

PHILIPPINES - STILL POOR AND BACKWARD AS A NATION IN ASIA

Three things, simple but overwhelmingly strong and powerful are happening daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly in most Asian countries growing and developing with the power of science and technology and not, at the same time, happening in the Philippines - poor and backward as the Philippines still is in this already 21st century. 1) love of country; 2) respect for the law in such countries; 3) respect and admiration for their respective government and its honest and hard-working officials. In the Philippines, sadly, 1) we Filipinos do not love our country. We love only divinity. 2) We Filipinos have respect our laws. We make a mockery of them. 3) We believe that our government is not a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. That our government is only for the corrupt officials, of the corrupt officials, and by the corrupt officials. Thus, instead of growth as a people and development - only more of the same old political, economic, and religious recycled garbage year in and year out for our poor and backward only Catholic country in Asia!

The Trouble with our Prayers

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ: I said it, and said it, and said it before; I say it again and again and again: prayers are still of the nature of magic formulas, mumbled over and over again with an advertiser's faith in repetition. Thus, the real trouble with our hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly prayers is that we do not pray long enough, hard enough, and seriously enough! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Truth versus Lies and Deceptions

After I got expelled out of high school some 65 years ago, I devoted most of my life in search of the truth via reading and reading great books. No, I have not found the whole truth. I only found parts of the truth. Sadly, however, as I tried to share with my friends, associates, and relatives these partial truths with them - they got shocked with me as they are only happy and proud being faithful as believers in the lies and deceptions told to them to believe in their schools, colleges, and universities. It is true, down through the years, my fight against the believers have been endless; especially as believers are often told that ignorance is a mark of closeness to God; that ignorance is really a kind of spiritual enlightenment, and that ignorance is what true faith is all about. I said it before, I say it again: Belief in God is not a problem. Belief without evidence is the problem! Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

We Filipinos Have No Culture

Culture is the way a people think. We Filipinos have no culture. We do not know HOW to think. We only know WHAT to believe as taught to us in schools, colleges, and universities mostly own and operated by the Catholic church in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia. But here's something even more ticklish: our catholic system of education has taught us to hate life, to hate fellow-citizens, hate our country down here. Indeed, we must love only God and the Son of God Jesus always. In this way, we shall gain "eternal salvation after death in the kingdom of God up there. Poch Suzara twitter# Facebook# Google#

It is Better to Light the Candle than Curse the Darkness

What, indeed, is terribly wrong with us, Filipinos? Why are we addicted to the habit of "cursing the darkness instead of lighting the candle" that will illuminate our road to the future?". . .

Lee Kuan Yew on the Philippines

"I do not believe democracy necessarily leads to development. I believe what a country needs to develop is discipline more than democracy." - Lee Kuan Yew... Oh my dear Lee Kuan Yew, Unfortunately, as the sick system of education in the Philippines has always been and is under the full control and authority of the Catholic church, we Filipinos could only learn to be Catholics first, and then to learn, if at all, be well-informed citizens of our own country...
