The Bible

The bible may be holy, but it is filled with inconsistent baloney. There is neither harmony nor uniformity as the authors contradict each other. The Gospel of Matthew tells us that Jesus was an aristocrat descended from David via Solomon. The Gospel of Luke, however, tells us that Jesus was from much more humble stock. The Gospel of Mark says that Jesus was born to a poor carpenter.

At his birth, Jesus was visited by kings according to Matthew, but according to Luke, he was visited by shepherds.

At his death, Jesus, according to the Gospel of Mark and Matthew tell us that his last words were “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” But according to Luke, Jesus said, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit,” and in John Jesus simply said, “It is finished.”

In his great book, the Age of Reason, by Tom Paine, one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, wrote: “Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.”

As a bible reader myself during these past twenty years, I am quite conversant with bible messages. They have more to do not with the way of life, but the way towards death. Sadly and unfortunately, even the bible admits that “The dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.” Eccl. 9:5

Again, I say to one and all: please read your bible. It is where we can all duly discover the foundation of why we are, precisely, the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

The Holocaust

A few days ago I forwarded by email to hundreds of friends and relatives pictures showing the horrors of what the Nazis under Hitler (the Holocaust) did to the Jews in Germany during World War 2. The horrors of it all – man’s inhumanity to man. What many of you do not know, however, is that Hitler was raised and educated as a Catholic in Austria. He hated the Jews. In His book MEIN KAMPF, Hitler wrote on page 65: “Hence today I believe I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jews, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” During that war, the buckle belt worn around the waist by Hitler’s army read: “ Gott Mit Uns.” God with us. It is incredible how Pope Pius the 12th then with God's power never lifted a finger to stop Hitler from gassing the Jews to death. Estimated at 6,000,000 of them. The Pope could have excommunicated Hitler. On the contrary, the Catholic hierarchy loved what was being done to the Christ’s killers – the Jews. Today Pope Benedict the 16th Ratzinger wants Nazi sympathizing Pope Pius the 12th to be named as a good saint. Unfortunately, a good for nothing saint as all saints are – good for nothing.

Is a Fetus a Person

Is a fetus a person? A person, however, is one who has free will. A fetus has no free will. When we were once ourselves a fetus in mom’s womb, did we have the free will to choose whether we wanted to be born as a boy person or a girl person in this world? But then again if a fetus were a person, how come when a miscarriage happens, nobody in the priesthood industry gives the fetus the sacrament of Extreme Unction; or attends to its funeral service? Are the souls of the fetus remembered during All Saints's Day? Now I am told that a fetus nevertheless has the potential to be a thinking person with a free will? What about the would-be mother and would-be father of a fetus? Are they thinking persons while they are mating? But for a man to penetrate a woman’s sexual organ, all the blood in his brain must travel down to his sexual organ in order to get an erection. Solidified blood as it were. The same chemistry happens with the woman. Sexual arousal makes all the blood in her brain travel down to her reproductive system and she also, exactly like her man, becomes utterly brainless while in the act of propagating the human species. Never mind the ridiculous physical contortions that a man and his woman must assume for the sake of starting a family. It is illegal to kill a group of cells called a fetus inside the womb. It is called “abortion.” It is, however, legal to let them be born, let them grow up a bit, and then kill them with malnutrition. In the meantime, politicians, doctors, priests, and indeed husbands all have the right and the free will to have sex with a woman; but she, however, has neither the right nor the free will to practice family planning and birth control? What despicable nonsense is this? As a matter of biological fact, men are the ones fertile every minute of the month. The women are fertile only two or 3 days of the month. It should therefore be the men, not the women, who should be more involved with the responsibility of family planning and birth control in our already sick and overpopulated society. Overpopulation means that the number of people in a given society surpasses the economic basis for providing them with adequate food, housing, meaningful education, and harmless entertainment. We already have more than 10 million persons called children living under subhuman conditions in the streets of our major cities? In the meantime, three ( 3 ) babies are born every minute in the Philippines. That transforms into 1,500,000 babies born every year. Many of them abandoned by their father and neglected by their mother. The Roman scholar Pliny, the Elder, said: “What we do to our children, they will do to society.” Well, in this 21st century, take a good look at our sick and corrupt society! If God himself practiced family planning and birth control measures, why is there so much religious pressure for Filipinos to emulate God who only had one son with Mary? Instead of being childish as a people frightened of morality, why don’t we grow up as a nation and begin to discover morality? This business of paraphrasing the bible: “Forgive me, Father, for I know not what I am doing” – can only be the confession of a man born ignorant, not stupid; but made stupid by indoctrination! If centuries past were to be identified by their dominant characteristics, like the Age of Reason or the Age of Enlightenment, how come in this 21st century Philippines, ours is still the Age of Fear and Guilt?

A Thought from a Thinking American

We hate to win wars. The more wars ongoing here, spreading there, and developing anywhere – the better for our industrial economy. In fact, the spread of terrorism, ( it used to be called communism ) the better for American capitalism. The exception of course is Chinese communism. China has introduced to the world a better economic system that works without violence and war – the merger of capitalism with communism. Unlike American capitalism the way we make wealth and the way we make war are profitably related and inextricably connected. In the meantime, we continue to ask our soldiers ( our very own sons and daughters ) to be shot at and for many to be killed. To have the courage to die in battle, but not to have the courage to question the insane policies of our government of the industrialists, by the militarists, and for the elitists. The historical scandal in America is not what is immoral or illegal; but what is moral and legal. Super financial fortunes in America have been built not on “free enterprise” but on the infectious greed of crony capitalism. In this connection, in America, by and large, there is hardly such a thing as “national interests.” There is only the - “corporate interests.” In the meantime, how can there be Americans in the great cities of America who are hungry, homeless, and living under stress not knowing where the next meal will come from to feed their children and still pay their rent? It is time for a radical change. It is time to retool our industrial capacity from war economy to peace economy. It is time to focus on the whole of humanity, especially at human poverty. War as a way to enrich the few and to keep ourselves strong with our “Industrial-Military-University-Complex” superpower of the world has become obsolete. Through the increasing power of knowledge, it is time to manufacture more engines for construction rather than engines of destruction. Defense spending creates jobs only for the military but not for society. It does not even buy national security. Military spending causes unemployment, inflation, and resource depletion, not to mention the accumulation of sophisticated military weapons that grow to such a complexity that approach national insanity. Indeed, if the lethal capacity of the nuclear arsenals of America and its allies were broken down into tons of TNT, each man, woman, and child alive in the world today would be represented by something like 4 tons of explosive power. Some of our individual H-Bombs represent so much destructive power that they each total more tons of dynamite power than all the bombs dropped by all sides during World War Two. There are, however, only two things that can be done with military weapons – use it for destruction; or, store them until they become obsolete and then eventually scrapped while American school buildings and the images of America as the land of the free and home of the brave are rotting away. The party is over. It is time to clean up the mess. The days of military lies and deceptions are over. It is time to achieve success not as Republicans or Democrats or Westerners or Southerners or Easterners or Asians, Latinos, or African Americans, but simply as - united Americans. It is time for America to be a genuine super power. A super power that has no demons to kill, or villains to destroy. Indeed, it is time for America to have more real friends around the world by having no more enemies. If we must fight enemies, let us fight them not on the battlefield, but with the power of ideas. Love is always better than hate because in love there is peace and unity. In hate, there is only disharmony. Our national interests should be wholly in harmony with those of humanity. The Media is no longer our media. It is no longer the media that promotes the power of knowledge. The US government in cahoots with the Industrial-Military-University Complex now owns and controls the media. The media like the advertising industry does not persuade. They manipulate. Look how the media succeeds in reducing American citizens to idiots. Watching TV five hours a day can only be the way of life of idiots. From corporate advertisers to political punditry, from boards of education to the entertainment programmers, their goal is to keep us American citizens thoughtless, if not frightened. Forget freedom of the press. It belongs to him who owns one. Indeed, we have yet to pierce through the untruths being cast by the mainstream media that benefits not the nation, but only the corrupt corporations. What is the use of the freedom of expression to people who have been frightened of the future? So that they may only prefer the comforts of political lies or prefer the promises of religious deceits from the powers-that-be? Our problems, in fact, the world’s problems, are no longer local. It is global. Everything in this world is interrelated with everything else in a delicate balance and complex web of interrelationship. We are all -- each and every one of us, actors and spectators in the drama of life on this small blue planet whose continued existence is in doubt. We are often told that America has the best system of education in the world. Well, it is time to prove it. Let us install educated American leaders to run our government. A government that puts greater value on higher education above everything else. Education that explores deeper the world of nature and discovers higher the nature of our world. It is incredible how the “educated” US Congressmen would entertain the impeachment of a US president on matters of sexual behavior, but would not impeach him for endangering the lives of American children by welfare reform, or by neglecting its senior citizens, or for violating international law in bombing foreign countries, or for allowing hundreds of thousands of children to die as a result of economic sanctions. In the meantime, poverty, disease, illiteracy, and overpopulation in the world cannot be redressed until America and her allies re-direct its resources toward constructive humanitarian aims. It is time to beat swords into plowshares. In his great book THE THIRD WAVE published in 1980, author Alvin Toffler concluded: “The responsibility for change, therefore, lies with us. We must begin with ourselves, teaching ourselves not to close our minds prematurely to the novel, the surprising, the seemingly radical. This means fighting off the idea-assassins who rush forward to kill any new suggestion on grounds of its impracticality, while defending whatever now exists as practical, no matter how absurd, oppressive, or unworkable it may be. It means fighting for freedom of expression – the right of people to voice their ideas, even if heretical. Above all, it means starting this process of reconstruction now, before further disintegration of existing political systems sends the forces of tyranny jackbooting through the streets, and makes impossible a peaceful transition in the twenty-first century Democracy. If we begin now, we and our children can take part in the exciting reconstitution not merely of our obsolete political structures, but of civilization itself. Like the generation of the revolutionary dead, we have a destiny to create.”

Theologians

No doubt, the theologians have been inventive; unfortunately, inventive in fantasy, never in reality. The theologians have yet to succeed to explain the unknown by making it more known. The main study that entails the subject of theology is God. Till now, however, even the theologians themselves have not the foggiest notion of who or what God is! But they have gumption enough to declare that the nature of God’s existence is really a mystery. Poch Suzara

Religious Criminals

Millions of minds and hearts are being distorted, and twisted with false beliefs in our schools, colleges, and universities. All for the sake of having faith in the Lord and that there is a better world to come after death.

I ask: what reasons have we to be polite to these religiously idiotic criminals responsible for such evil horrors?

And what reasons have we to blame each other for the horrors that is keeping our country poor and backward? The growth and development of any country are the results of decent minds and decent hearts. Poch Suzara

Is God Good or Bad

Free Will

Billions of little monsters are living inside your body at this very moment. Sooner or later, they will eventually kill you whether you like it or not, whether you have free will or not.

So God gifted you with a free will. So what? God gifted germs, bacteria, and viruses with no free will, and yet these little monsters are free to get you buried in a Catholic cemetery one day soon. Poch Suzara

The Bible

The bible says that Jesus suffered and died on the cross for our sins and to bring us closer to God in heaven. 1 Peter 3:18

Well, if God were already Omni-present and therefore here, there, and already everywhere, what is God doing in heaven out there? How come God is never down here? Poch Suzara

Man

Man invented divinity. That is why divinity is a shallow mystery. The real nature of man is a wider perplexity, if not a deeper complexity, especially at promoting, perpetually, human stupidity. Poch Suzara

Afraid of Death

Those who are afraid to die are afraid to live. Those who are afraid to live need God.
To believe, however, that after death we can still be afraid or, as the case may be, - be unafraid, is to pretend that we can still be able to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to taste without a palate, to smell without nose, to feel without hands or skin, and indeed, that we shall still be able to think with our brain already rotting away in a Catholic cemetery.

“The good life,” Bertrand Russell wrote, “is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.” To me, in my simplicity, as I am approaching my own death, I can only say to the laws of nature: “Go ahead, kill me, and when you do, rest assured, I will die standing up with my self-respect and dignity, and not kneeling ashamed of my sense of humanity.” Poch Suzara

Fear of the Lord

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Prov. 1:7. On the contrary, fear is beginning of timidity. As to why a Lord would have this desperate need to be feared by any one only makes him utterly unworthy as a Lord to begin with. For my part, I once knew a Lord. I never feared him. Unlike my silly teachers in school, he never threatened me. In fact, I never even met this Lord personally. But I have learned to love him and still do love him as he saved not my silly soul, but saved, instead, my precious mind. I read most of his delicious writings and I still have his books as my bedside companion. His name: Lord Bertrand Russell. Oh yes, much better and more exciting than sexual protoplasm is intellectual orgasm. There is nothing quite like in all of nature. Poch Suzara Twitter@ Google# Atheist# Facebook#

The Devil

I take my hat off to the devil. He didn’t have to impregnate a virgin to produce a son on this earth to be crucified on a wooden stick in order for him to win millions of damned wet souls to quench the fires of hell. Indeed, the same hell that God originally created for the devil and his Fallen Angels all gifted too with free will, not to mention the most ticklish part of this divine creation - God gifted as well all the Talking Serpent to freely bring down one of our own kind - Adam and Eve - our first parents

I said it before, I say it again: Fuck divinity. Fuck deviltry. Fuck the Talking Serpent. Fuck FREE WILL. Poch Suzara

Earning a Living

Go to any school, college, or university in the Philippines – none will explore with you what it is precisely that in life you creatively enjoy doing. Indeed, the tragedy in most men’s life is not earning a living at precisely what they creatively already enjoy doing. Poch Suzara

Motherhood

Most women are ignorant enough not to realize that motherhood takes years of grade school, high school, and college to prepare. Every woman, regardless of her age, social class, academic achievement needs to know that to bring forth a child into this world is a serious responsibility, especially for fatherhood under the guidance of a decent nationhood. Poch Suzara

The Religious Morons

The religious morons would readily notice that more and more women are getting pregnant in our poor and sick society. They hardly care to notice also that 3 babies are born every minute of the day or 1.5 million babies are born every year in our country. These babies are the result of corruption by would-be mothers and would-be fathers who hardly have any idea of what it means to raise and educate children in our sick and corrupt world. Of course, we have been frightened to call it “faith in God;” though in reality, it is really having faith in “blind faith.” Poch Suzara

Loved Children

Loved children born into this world have better chances of promoting peace on earth and goodwill to all men. Otherwise, unloved children will be among the best recruits for the army and navy and the air force of most countries, especially that of the military organization of the United States of America. Poch Suzara

Christian Beliefs

According to a Christian belief I was once dead in my mother’s womb. God, however, gave me life so that I could be born alive in this world. Later, however, God will put me back to death so that I can, again, have life in heaven with God; or, as the case may be, be in hell with the devil. Free will is a myth. Poch Suzara

Jesus and Death

Just before he resurrected Lazarus, Jesus likened death to sleep.—John 11:11-14. Which brings up another question, if Jesus best friend Lazarus was going to enjoy eternal happiness with God in a perfect place called heaven, for Christ’ sake, why bring him back to a rotten life of sin in this rotten world?

In the meantime, the same bible clearly admits: “For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward for the memory of them is forgotten.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Poch Suzara

The Poor

The priesthood industry continue to insist that “God loves the poor.” That even the Son of God Jesus chose to be born poor in a poor family of a poor village because His father loves poverty. Of course Jesus was a poor man. He never earned a living. He never worked in his life. Moreover, Jesus failed to provide knowledge so much need by man to enable him to shape his course through work to achieve a healthy and a wealthy life. Jesus never explained constructive relations between employer and employee, nor how to educate children, nor how to preserve health, nor how to earn a living, nor how to prevent war, poverty, and suffering. Indeed, Jesus neglected to instruct his listeners on how to live creatively and happily. His knowledge of the world was less than that of a high school expelled student out of De La Salle Univrsity in the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Jesus

Jesus, on the cross, cried out: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34

To think that this is the same Father of Jesus who never legally married his mother. Jesus was not a legitimate son. His own Mother of God did not know what she was doing. Poch Suzara

Causes

All kinds of causes are submitted to explain why Filipinos are still wallowing in poverty as a people; and the Philippines still economically way behind as a nation. No one seems to have the guts nor the gumption to openly and publicly declare the truth except yours truly. I said it before, I say it again: Poverty in the Philippines is simply due to, if not because of, one great evil – “Christianity.” Poverty comes from poor minds and poor hearts. Christianity has always dominated the Filipino mind and the Filipino heart. Indeed, according to Christian values and beliefs, the Filipinos are better off poor and suffering and malnourished in this life. In this way, we Filipinos could be rich and happy and well-nourished in the life after death with God in heaven. Poch Suzara

Rizal wrote:

“Where are the youth who will consecrate their golden hours, their dreams, and their enthusiasm to the welfare of their native land? Where are the youth who will generously pour out blood to wash away so much shame, so much crime, so much abomination? Pure and spotless must the victim be! Where are you youth, who will embody in yourselves the vigor of life that has left our veins, the purity of ideas that has been contaminated in our brains, the fire of enthusiasm that has been quenched in our hearts? We await you, O Youth! Come, for we await you!” Ever since the death of Rizal by public execution in 1896, the history of the Filipino people has been the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly struggle to deny the power of the human mind with knowledge, and to reject the beauty of the human heart with wisdom. Indeed, to be not sane, or be culturally constructive; but only to be insane, and traditionally destructive. Thanks to teachers in our schools, and to professors in our colleges and universities – millions of Filipinos have yet to learn to substantiate the words of Jose Rizal: “I would like the Filipinos to be brilliant, enlightened, intelligent, and progressive.” Sadly, even the Knights of Rizal have been busy promoting social and political insanity in this God-forsaken country. Especially for the sake of preserving in this faith-soaked 21st century – the beliefs and values of Christianity. In this country, when one Pinoy suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When millions of Pinoys suffer from a confusion complicated by a delusion as inspired by corruption, it is called Christianity. Poch Suzara

If Rizal Died as a Penitent Catholic

If Rizal retracted and died not as heretic, but as a penitent catholic, how come he was never given a catholic burial? Rizal wrote: “Some write history to flatter or lower their enemies, others to support religious opinions with facts which they mutilate to suit their convenience.” Poch Suzara

Religion

I hate religion. It is the story of mankind mired in mindless sin and senseless crime and thoughtless violence, war, and death. Religion has also been and still is the story of human misery. Divinity who is the ultimate mystery, is never, in the ultimate analysis, an embraceable entity. And yet religion teaches us to love, worship, and adore such a divinity as a heavenly perplexity inextricably mixed with ecclesiastical complexity for the sake of nothing except to promote nothing but a sick society. Poch Suzara

Medicine

Medicine, and its ability to keep people alive who would otherwise be dead, is an amazing achievement of science.
Sadly, silly religion, to this day, continue to struggle against the growth and development and maturity of science – the real savior of our world.

Our Greatest Good

Our greatest good may come from our deepest suffering.
This is sacred hogwash mixed with holy cow dung. What if your suffering comes from religious belief that was imposed upon you since childhood years?

I am Told

I am told that God created the human brain. But which part of the brain – the mammalian part or the reptilian part? How odd of God to have created the animal part in anything that is already human.

My Ancestors

How many ancestors would a person have - assuming no interbreeding, 24 generations in the past? The answer – 16,777,216 ancestors. The real issue for me, however, is not who among my ancestors made it to heaven; or, who among my ancestors ended up punished in hell; but why did God have to create in his own image and likeness all those millions of Catholic ancestors of mine during these past centuries just to finally produce me, a die-hard atheist, in this century? So I am in the minority. So what? I am still an atheist! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Religion as Big Business

The religious morons, the pathetic bobos, the stupid fatheads, and the ecclesiastical wimps are among the kind of victims that make organized religions such a lucrative business in this poor and backward country.

Indeed, Brother Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, Brother Eddie Villaneuva of Jesus is Lord Movement, and Eli Soriano of Dating Daan are very wealthy religious leaders today in our sick society. Imagine these panderers among the few rich and the famous operating the business of selling Jesus only for decades as compared to the wealth, power, and glory of the Catholic church and Iglesia Ni Cristo operating the business of selling Jesus for centuries in this poor and backward country.

In the Philippines, Christianity has never been a religion. It has always been and still is an industry. Overshadowing the minor religious corporations in the Philippines is the major one - the Catholic church - the owner of the richest and most powerful bank in the world today - the Vatican Bank!

The Chicken

Why did the chicken cross the road? Perhaps, it was dumbstruck enough not to have grasped the truth that all roads in the end lead to death and decay.

Catholic Bishops

No one, but no one, is happy and contented with life on this earth. The rich and poor alike have their measure of troubles, if not their level of problems. Even the Catholic bishops are bored and unhappy while attending to things spiritual. To get some excitement into their religiously empty, if not spiritually, barren lives - they meddle with things sexual, if not menstrual. And this is for no reason at all except to make a nuisance of themselves to bring more excitement into our sick society. Poch Suzara

Philippine Media

The Philippine media could mold public opinion to admire science rather than religion; to love philosophy rather than theology. To know and not just to believe. Indeed, the media could very well promote all that is creative for our society, and so diminish the impulses and desires that center round Filipinos getting more selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane. And yet, Filipino editors and columnists of newspapers and magazines; teachers and professors of schools, colleges and universities; producers and directors of the movie and television industry - all share a common interests together in this country: - they all try their utmost best to keep all of their readers and students and audiences as thoughtless as ever so as not to displease the Catholic Bishops enjoying theological and political control of the Filipino way of life in the Philippines. And to think that these are the same Bishops who are the experts with the Revealed Truth that has yet to be revealed.

In the meantime, thanks to daily mediocrity behind the power of media always in cahoots with government and the church faithfully, we are aimless as a people and rudderless as a nation. Poch Suzara

God in the Bible is Evil

Religious morons who claim to read and worship the words of the bible tend to be so ignorant about just what the bible says. Many of them have no idea whatsoever that god is quoted many times in the bible admitting that he is in fact evil. Please read on:

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Exodus 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

Joshua 23:15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things.

What's the Sexual Difference...

What's the sexual difference between the words: mating, procreating, copulating, impregnating, propagating, fecundating, and fucking? In order to penetrate a woman’s vagina, the man must have an erection. In order to have an erection, however, all the blood in man’s brain must travel down to his sex organ. Thus, a hard-on is blood somewhat solidified. The same thing goes with the woman sexually excited. All the blood in her brain goes down into her sexual organ. So in reality, we are completely brainless when we follow God's command to multiply and replenish the earth. Now consider seriously the physical position that a man and woman must assume in order to have children! It has got to be one of the most ridiculous position figured out by the would-be mothers and would-be fathers of this world. The Pro-lifers are proud to teach God’s commands, especially the 4th, - Honor thy mother and father - even to children struggling to survive under subhuman conditions in the streets of our major cities. As if strength of character, or a high I.Q. is a necessity to get a woman pregnant to be a mother. Honor is not something given or shown. It must be earned. In the meantime, life, indeed, is but a sexually transmitted disease with a mortality rate of 100 per cent. For my part, as an atheist, instead of looking forward to a better life to come after I am dead, I would rather try and leave this world a better place than I found it. Or there would be very little reason for my having lived. Poch Suzara

My Filipino Friend on the Greatness of Dr. Jose Rizal

I give space here for my great Filipino friend - Gil C. Fernandez - on his views about our Jose Rizal. I said it before, I say it again: If only our schools, colleges, and universities taught less about Jesus Christ by teaching more about our Jose Rizal - the Filipinos today would be one of the healthiest people and the Philippines one of the wealthiest of countries in all of Asia today. Poch Suzara The Catholic Church is the greatest beneficiary of Spain colonization of the Philippines. It has gained unimaginable wealth and power, amidst poverty, overpopulation, suffering and misery of the Filipino people. It has introduced the concept of heaven, hell and purgatory to obtain obedience from the people. Confession, to control the community, a classic example was the discovery of the Katipunan, which was leaked out through the confessional. It has spread alleged miracles to fool the people. It exploited the people as proved by the possession of the best lands in many parts of the country; the biggest tract of lands in central Luzon belongs to the Dominicans. The most expensive schools and hospitals belong to this church, and the biggest depositor in the Bank of the Philippine Island is the Archbishop of Manila. And this church, the richest church in the world, has not been paying taxes to a country which is considered one of the poorest countries in the world,-- which is the Philippines. Even after more than a century after the catholic religion was declared not the official religion of the country and the introduction separation of Church and State in the Philippine, the Filipino people still suffer from religious fanaticism. There is still a very important need for the Filipino people to learn even more the life, works and writings of Jose Rizal. As I said before, let the words of Rizal serve as a boost in our morale, not to allow the continuation of this ruthless tyranny, hypocrisy, and the taking advantage of our poor people by this powerful Catholic Church. Let Rizal be the inspiration of our youth, a role model in the struggle for a good life, and to emulate the virtues of this great man, -Dr. Jose Rizal. Written by Gil C.

War

War is always big business for the munition makers. They naturally do everything possible to market the idea of war such as war is the only way to settle international disputes. More often than not, the munition industry will even concoct such disputes by declaring it to be the war for freedom and democracy, or for God. In fact, war is mostly about men killing other men so that the munition makers will earn big profits. Poch Suzara

Indecision

When you do not or cannot make a decision, indecision takes over. When you refuse to think for yourself someone else will think for you. At most time, it is usually referred to as having “faith in God’s Will.” In the meantime, there is no such as thing the right decision or the wrong decision. There is only evil of indecision. We must face the fact that life is a series of decisions. We must learn to never be afraid to make decisions. Poch Suzara

Loneliness

Loneliness has always been an emotionally painful experience. Today, however, paradoxically enough, loneliness is a shared way of life. Even within the family members. In loneliness, they pray together to stay together. Too bad prayers don’t work. More families are derailed in this century than it was during the last century. Poch Suzara

Progress

If Progress only means the accumulation of money, then it becomes a mockery against human decency. In fact, progress should be like a flowering tree with many branches extending to the future. As a product of the power of the intellect, progress is not revolution. It is evolution. Progress should mean a better tomorrow than it was a better yesterday.
Take, for example, progress in education: more and flexible learning should occur outside, rather than inside, crowded school rooms. Poch Suzara

Jonah

“I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, and He answers me.” Jonah 2:2

It is incredible how the religious bobos would readily believe what Jonah wrote in the bible. If this were true, however, how come millions upon millions of Filipinos who cried out to the same Lord because of their affliction, no Lord answers them? Instead, they ended up dead and buried. Their remains are found in the cemeteries throughout the Philippines. Poch Suzara

American Politics

Whether we are Democrats or Republicans, despite our differences, we all belong in the same sinking American economic boat. All of us, while jockeying for power within it, are all basically committed to preserving the dying “Military-Industrial-Oil-University complex” of the USA.

There is hope, however, in the new presidential candidate of Barack Obama. There is a great chance he could bring real change in America. For one thing, he will transform the White House into a more prestigious Black House.

It is time for us Americans to enjoy real freedom; not the freedom of lies; but the freedom from lies. Especially the freedom from government lies. Poch Suzara

Divine Boredom

Here’s an example of divine boredom as written in the bible: “I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do these things.” Is. 45:7. Indeed, evil is mostly derived from boredom, especially from divine boredom.
Boringly, bible readers excitingly call it: divine wisdom. Poch Suzara

Organized Religions

Historically, no doubt, organized religions have flourished. But what flourished alongside with organized religions, however, has been the fear of thought, hypocrisy, dishonesty, criminality all rolled into one bundle called “social insanity.”

In the meantime, most men are proud of the religion taught to them during childhood years. It has given conscience that is good; unfortunately, good for nothing. They cry like little boys for peace. As if there is such a thing as peace. They ignore the words of their own Jesus who admitted: “Think not that I have come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Matt. 10:34.

Bread Crumbs

According to the bible, man does not live by bread alone. Is this the reason why Christian charity never distribute loaves of bread to, but would even remove bread crumbs away from, - the Filipino people in this spiritually poor and morally backward country? In the meantime, when Filipinos accept poverty and insanity as the normal Filipino way of life it can only mean malevolence on the one side; and, on the other, - decadence. Poch Suzara

Jose Rizal

Jose Rizal was a man of science. He was not a man of religion. He was publicly executed by religious morons precisely because he exposed the nature of religion in this country as nothing but harmful superstition. Poch Suzara

College Educated

It is precisely those who are selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane – in brief – college educated men and women who make me happy to be a high-school dropout, and who make me proud to be an atheist.

Take a good look at the men and women running our corrupt and rotten government. All of them are college educated. All them believe that God is great, especially in the national business of forgiving the sin of degradation and the crime of corruption! Poch Suzara

Book Learning

Learning by reading books is utterly worthless unless it is used and verified with variegated experiences in life. Only then can it begin to affect our power to think. It is the love of life that educates. Outside academic wall, books have been and still are the only kind of teachers and professors that I could love and respect. All my teachers in school were frightened of divinity, if not terrorized by deviltry. Thus, they only taught me how to have faith in mediocrity, and how to love and respect religious mendacity that's always in cahoots with hypocrisy. Poch Suzara
