Celebrating the Love for Holy Baloney

We can very well disagree with the doctrines and get confused over dogmas of the church such as the Holy Trinity. We still, however, have faith enough to celebrate them. In other words, we love to be the victims of lies, not the masters of the truth.

Or, “Oh God, dear God, we don’t even care if you exist or not. Whether or not you do there is nothing you can do that can make us stop loving you”.

Such are the helpless victims celebrating not the love of self or the love for one another, but the love for holy non-existing baloney.

Listen to Bertrand Russell and then take a closer look at us Filipinos in this only Christian country in Asia:

“There is something feeble, and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face his thought, and he therefore cannot carry his own reflections to a logical conclusion. Moreover, as he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed. He therefore adopts persecution, censorship, and a narrowly cramping education as essential of statecraft. In so far as he is successful, he produces a population which is timid and unadventurous and incapable of progress. Authoritarian rulers have always aimed at producing such a population. They have usually succeeded, and by their success have brought their countries to ruin.”

And in ruin what do we Filipinos continue to do? We continue to love, worship,
and adore those who ruined not only our self-respect as a people and dignity as a nation, but also ruined our future.

Come on, you guys and gals. We are now in the 21st century! Poch Suzara

God? Which God? Who determines that we all be born without religion? That we all come out of mother’s womb, not as a Catholic or a Muslim or a Jew or a Buddhist or a Hindu, but as atheists – as non-believers of the existence of God! Which God? If religions were true, and there is a God, how come we continue to live in a much troubled world? How come religion only teaches us that there is a better world to come after death? And that we should only show nothing but contempt for any man who has the ability not only to think, but to love life in this world. Now I ask you sons and daughters everywhere: where is the true God, if, in fact, there is such a thing as a “true God?” Obviously, there is no such thing as justice because there is no such thing as a God to begin with. If there is, such a God has got to be a supernatural monster who determines which part of the nature should be wonderful and which part horrible or despicable. In the meantime, we all live on a speck of dust called “earth.” It is some 4.5 billion years old. The earth is orbiting yearly round the sun for the sake of nothing; rotating daily on its own axis for the sake of nothing; and, in terms of eternity, heading for no where in space and in time for the sake of nothing. The most we humans should do while living on this earth is to try and live the good life. My mentor Bertrand Russell defined it: “The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. What the world needs now is not only love, but also greater knowledge about the nature of love, in all its complexity.” Poch Suzara Twitter# Google# Atheist# Facebook#

The Sick Children of Asia

Here are manifestations, cries, and pleadings that show just how sick we are as the Sick Man of Asia. Indeed, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverb 22:6 “And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “ Matthew 18: 2 Well, listen to us Pinoys and Pinays: “I’d rather have a government run like hell by Filipinos than a government run like heaven by Americans.” President Manuel Quezon

Statistics

The religious morons of our sick country are unhappy with me. Especially when I say that there are 10 million single mothers in the Philippines today earning a living by prostitution to support their children.

The same religious people, however, will be happy with me, if I lower my estimate to, say, only 10 thousand single mothers in the Philippines today earning a living by prostitution to support their children.

As if our perpetual poverty as a people, and eternal insanity as a nation will make any difference as to the true statistics in just exactly how many single mothers there are struggling to survive earning a living by prostitution to support their children in the Philippines.

In the ultimate analysis, I ask: who really gives a damn as to what is happening to our women as we are a nation?

In the meantime, for the love of God up there via hate of one another down here – as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century - we are only getting more famous as the Sick Children of Asia in this already 21st century? Poch Suzara

A College-Educated Moron

A college-educated moron writes and says: “I am not against atheist. My father was an atheist almost all his life but was baptized and receive Christ in the Holy Eucharist in his last few days on earth. He was just enlightened because he can no longer defend his atheism. Poch is his own worst enemy. No need to destroy him because he is doing it well by himself.” No kidding? Did your father ever read to you verses and chapters as guiding principles written in the holy bible that made us the Sick Children of Asia? Indeed, made us believe that since Jesus is coming anyway, no need to love our country and to love each other as we are all Filipinos since there will be a better world to come with Jesus later after death in heaven under the management of the Chosen People of God - In the meantime, for my part, as I am myself a publicly declared theist, if I find myself one day about to be baptized and about to receive Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist in my last few days on this earth – believe me – I would rather kill myself first. Jesus Christ was not even a fellow-Filipino. He was a Jew born in a foreign land that never even got to be a Catholic country. Israel today is still a Jewish State! So what's this religious malarkey that I need not be destroyed because I am already destroying myself? My dear man, the day we are born is the very same day we begin to live in a dying body! Wake up, my dear man!! Is it so hard for you to face the reality that we were all born as non-believers of the faith? We were all born as atheists. No child comes out of his or her mother’s womb believing in a God or in the Son of God Jesus. No child has a religion. Well, since I was born an atheist, the least I could do is to die one day as an atheist too. I say, if we must die, let us die with self-respect and dignity. Let us die sober, and not drunk with religious lies or drugged with sacramental deceptions? In the ultimate analysis, we all arrived into this world with nothing; the least we could do is to leave this world with something. Indeed, let us one day leave this world a better place than how we found it. Or there is little reason having lived at all. Poch Suzara

Australia and Philippines Compared

Australia was colonized some 200 years by some of the finest felons, thieves, muggers, alcoholics, prostitute, atheists and agnostics and freethinkers; in fact, a strain of depravity, if not a parade of British banditry. But look how they all contributed greatly to this country's amazing vigour in growth and due development as a nation of laws, self-respect, and human dignity.

Australians today have the finest, cleanest, and highly organized cities. The greatest of health and sanitation system. Scientific and creative system of education. A hard working government. It enjoys one of the highest per capita income in the world. A decent standard of living and indeed thinking for the Australian people, by the Australian people, and of the Australian people.

The Philippines was colonized by a bunch of Catholic friars and Catholic Spanish soldiers some 400 years ago. Look at the Philippines today. All of our cities are among the dirtiest and disorganized. In fact, our streets are no longer streets, but have been converted into baby factories. We have no health and sanitation. system. We have no government of, by, or for the people, but only a government for the corrupt officials, by the corrupt officials, and of the corrupt officials. Our system of education is around 100 years backward. Filipinos still come out of schools, colleges, and universities more prepared for the next life than prepared to be a productive and creative citizen of the Republic of the Philippines.

We Filipinos are still so poor as a people and still so backward as a nation. As the only Christian country of Asia since the 16th century, we still believe in the power of prayer and that God will provide for us even as we have already become famous as the Sick Children of Asia.

In the meantime, in this already 21st century, is there hope for the Philippines for a better future? Yes, there is. But only as soon as we stop this childish nonsense of hating one another down here for the love a God up there. Or to put more bluntly, it is time we seriously attend to our sense of common human decency by discarding away that superstition otherwise more traditionally known as “divinity,” or “holy trinity,” or “Christianity,” or “El Shaddai malarkey,” or “Jesus is Lord Movement baloney,” or "Dating Daan" biblical hogwash.

Indeed, let us, instead, love the Philippines - our country. It is the only country we have as Filipinos. Poch Suzara

Single Filipina Mothers

There are about 10 millions single mothers in the Philippines today. Most of them proud of their achievement. Specially as their children, live and play in the streets of our major cities, sick and dirty as they are. Most of these single mothers are poor. They support themselves and their malnourished children by means of prostitution. Others have to work as housemaids or cooks or waitresses. Still others earn a living by working as hospitality girls in night clubs owned by foreigners; or work as helpers, and assistants in Beach resorts throughout the country owned by foreigners; or work in hotels owned by foreigners; or just work for a pimp or a policeman or a taxi driver to earn a few pesos a night. Tell them that they are among the worst criminals on this earth and they get shocked. They will insist that there is nothing wrong in carrying on an unwanted pregnancy. That there is nothing wrong with producing three (3) babies every minute of the day and night, or 1.8 millions babies yearly in the Philippines . Most of these children are potential members of the Catholic church, Iglesia ni Cirsto, El Shaddai, Jesus is Lord Movement members, Opus Dei, etc. The Catholic church and her Christian allies urges the Pinays to multiply regardless of the consequences. They are even told that productive motherhood is really in the end a virtue, and replenishing the Philippines with more babies even if unwanted is a sacred duty. In spite of population explosion the Pinays have 4 or 7 or 8 children not for society’s sake, but for the glory of God in heaven. The right to propagate, no doubt, is a freedom; but like all freedoms, when exercised by ignorance, is inimical to human welfare that generates an insane society. In the meantime, the Pinoys, as products of our schools, colleges, and universities have been taught to believe that no matter what they do for Pinays, with Pinays, against the Pinays, or just take advantage of their child-like qualities – there is always God up there who will always take care of them. Indeed, God will always provide for them. But that God will also always forgive us Pinoys of the sin of sexual stupidity, if not forgive us of the crime of social perversity. Poch Suzara

Who

Who is the bigger, better, taller, wiser, more disciplined, and more courageous individual? The fighter who fights in the world of boxing for the sake of glory, money, and other forms of insanity; or, the individual who fights lies, myths, deceptions, and superstitions in order to improve the world of thinking for the sake of global peace and tranquility and, indeed, sanity in the human family? Poch Suzara

Manny Pacquiao

He claims that his being boxing champion of the world is due to his having a special relationship with God. And yet, just as much as there are no atheists in a foxhole, there are also no atheists in the boxing ring. There are only the faithful believers fighting it out against other faithful believers. For my part, I imagine the greatest good Manny Pacquiao can do for the millions of Filipinos who admire him. For the sake of self-respect as a people and dignity as a nation, he could tell all of us that his being boxing champion of the world today had only to do with “hard work, training, discipline, and dedication to a chosen career down here. It has nothing whatsoever to do with a Jewish God up there who was born in Israel some 2,000 years ago." In the meantime, instead of augmenting the better quality of life with moral, physical, and intellectual courage for the average Filipino, Manny Pacquiao is only augmenting the worse - greed, selfishness, cruelty, social insanity, not to mention political stupidity specially for the sake of a silly divinity in our spiritually twisted and morally distorted country.

Mayon Volcano

22 out of the 37 volcanos in the Philippines are active. Mayon Volcano is the most active. It has erupted at least 50 times since documentation began in 1616. Its worst eruption buried in mud Cagsawa town that killed 1,200 people in 1814. Another eruption in 1993 killed more than 70 family of farmers. Mayon erupted again in 2006 killing poor and innocent people.

Any day now, most probably its biggest, greatest, and the most devastating explosion will occur. Just exactly like the sinking of the Titanic, Mayon Volcano will also kill both the faithful believers and the unbelievers of the faith.

In the meantime, in Genesis, it says that when God created the world, He saw that it was “good.” Can any of you religious morons really believe the destructive holy baloney from such a silly creative divinity? Poch Suzara

The Sick Children of Asia

In the last analysis, there is really no such thing as the “Sick Man of Asia.” I have been wrong all along. I stand corrected. What is more truthful to say, however, is that we are the “Sick Children of Asia .” Indeed, in this already 21st century, look how we Filipinos continue to have more faith, more love, and more admiration for Jesus Christ, born in a foreign country than we do even know who or what our own Jose Rizal lived and died for our country? Indeed, Rizal as the greatest of Filipino thinker-humanist-scientist. How sick are we as the Sick Children of Asia ? Look deep at Jesus Christ and his teachings. And then look deeper at our Jose Rizal and his teachings. Here is Jesus Christ who taught family values for the Filipinos: “If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26 Now listen carefully to what our Jose was saying about values for the family, and about human dignity and self-respect: “I would like the Filipino to be Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive.” Do you faitheists now understand now why Christian power and authority had to have our Jose Rizal arrested, incarcerated, and then publicly executed? Jose Rizal had been saying that Christianity thrives not on love, but on fear and guilt. They are the fundamental emotions that Christianity seeks to induce. For all of its alleged concern for the “poor in spirit,” Christianity does its best to perpetuate spiritual poverty, squalor, and social misery. Not to mention political stupidity. In the ultimate analysis, with its emphasis on punishment and reward in the afterlife, Christianity is largely responsible for the notion that morality, common human decency under social sanity are not practical, and has little to do or should have nothing to do with being “Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive.” Thus, in this already 21st century, Christianity in the Philippines carries on with so much wealth, power, and glory. Our Jose Rizal shot, dead, buried, ignored, and forgotten. - - - Poch Suzara

Love Destroyed

It is sad to see love in our modern world often destroyed not by unfaithfulness, or by a 3rd party intrusion, but simply due to the gospel of work and economic success. It happens especially when both man and woman in love together allow one or the either to get busily embroiled within that universal scramble for money.

Between man and woman whom there is love, they both succeed or fail together, but when they hate each other the success of either is the failure of the other.

In the meantime, what is even more painful is that with enough money already saved, we continue to suffer from poverty of the worst kind – the poverty of the mind and heart.

Despite economic success, life is still empty; still devoid of intellectual substance; still bereft of the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

How petty, selfish, insecure, greedy, stupid, insane, and needlessly frightened should we be? Poch Suzara

Death in the Bible

“For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity. All go to one place; all are from dust, and all turn to dust again." Ecclesiastes, 3:19-20.

In other words, my dear reader, if there were life after death, it will not be the life of man or the life of beasts. It will be the life of dust.

In the meantime, if God created man in his own image and likeness, and man in the end will just turn into dust for all eternity, then God must be made of Dust too. Now can you really imagine yourselves praying to a supernatural Dust for the salvation of your silly, dusty, impoverished souls? Poch Suzara

Contradictions in the Bible

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Numbers 23:19

And it repented the Lord that he has made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast. And the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.” Genesis 6: 6-7

God apparently forgot that after creation, he admitted that what he saw was all good. Genesis1:21

Unless of course God meant then that it was good for something; unfortunately, later, it became good for nothing! Poch Suzara

Yes Jesus is Real

Philippine Daily Inquirer
Dec. 15,2009
For: Renim Valenzuela

Dear Sir:

Yes, Jesus, indeed, is real; specially for the sinners and the criminals.

Thanks for your response. The quotations you got from me are the opinions
of the inspired authors of God as written in the holy bible.

Yes, I agree with you there is the reality of hope, peace, love and joy to experience. In the meantime, it is sad, isn't it, everybody wants to go to
heaven one day, but nobody wants to die at any day.

My friend, may I suggest you read the bible. The majority of Filipinos
including our own parents, grandparents, and great-parents, not to mention
our teachers in school, and professors in college - have had no inklings
whatsoever as to what are the real contents published the holy bible –
a book written by so-called inspired authors of God.

In the meantime, yes, you are right - Jesus is real. So real that even the
highest to the lowest officials that are corrupt in our corrupt government
all love worship, and adore Jesus. And why not? After all, who will forgive
them of their sins against divinity, and forgive them of their crimes against
our country - if not Jesus, ever loving sweet Jesus!

As for me, I thank God I am an atheist.

Best wishes,

Only in the Philippines

Filipino parents are so eager, if not so excited to enroll their children to school. However, they would find it needless, if not utterly boring to check what values and beliefs are being taught to the nation's children in school. It is all taken for granted.

But then again, why should they bother to check? Our parents and grandparents too have been the same victims of the same sick system of education in the Philippines.

Take a good look at us, the majority of Filipinos. In this already 21st century, we are all still waiting for the Second of Christ to help us straighten out the mess of our sick nation caused primarily by a sick system education. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell's Relevance

A college-educated individual wrote to tell me that I am wasting my time studying the works of Bertrand Russell. That the pursuit of the truth is really a waste of time at any time. Bertrand Russell’s relevance is still quite translucent, if not obvious. Bertrand Russell continues to challenge us to destroy all false beliefs and illusions that keep us away from being totally free in thought and action and to gain more self-respect and dignity. He challenges us to think about war, and why we must all create a safe, peaceful world. He began his autobiography with a foreword, which sums up Bertrand Russell as the greatest philosopher of the 20th century. The Prologue to Bertrand Russell's Autobiography WHAT I HAVE LIVED FOR "Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me." Poch Suzara

World Leaders

World leaders together with US President Barack Obama and his counterpart Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russia are still negotiating over nuclear weapons disarmament agreement. In this 21st century, what our world leaders should already be negotiating about is not banning nuclear weapons but banning war itself. War has never solved anything, In fact , history shows, the end of each war only entailed the beginning of the next war. Indeed, war insures not world peace or global sanity, but only that nations will continue to live under a welter of organized hatreds and threats of mutual extermination. Imperialism, Catholicism, Capitalism, Fascism, Nazism, Communism, Terrorism, and the rest of whatever fanaticism - all have had their opportunities to put an end to war. Each, however, with their respective beliefs failed. Miserably. In this 21st century, it is time for intelligent unbelief to encourage Humanism as inspired by Atheism. Indeed, it is time that we speak for mankind in this world. Our World. Listen to Bertrand Russell, Atheist, the greatest philosopher of the 20th century: "Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death." Poch Suzara, Atheist

Dying and Sleeping

I may fear dying, but I am not afraid of death; neither am I afraid of sleep. Sleep is a morsel of death. I go for it. I get to the exercise. In fact, without realizing it, I am rehearsing for death while sleeping every night. The fear of death is a useless fear. After all, the day we are born is the day we also begin to live in a dying body.

Compared, however, to the life of the universe, human life on this speck of dust called “earth” is meaninglessly brief, purposelessly short, and mindlessly fleeting. Poch Suzara

Our Political Candidates

If one is an atheist and a candidate, he does not qualify to become president of the Republic of the Philippines. To begin with, his allegiance must first be to God, and second only, if at all, to our country. Our politicians believe and have faith in what the bible as the Word of God, says: “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.” Matt. 22:21. Well, fortunately, the best way to acquire the forgiveness of the sin of corruption, is to render first to God and to hell with rendering the rest in our sick country. In Philippine politics today, as it has been past decades, no one can be elected to a government office unless he is a member of the church. It is considered a mark of moral character and patriotism. No politician would ever admit to being an unbeliever of the faith. To admit to being an atheist is the end of any political career. To think that our corrupt politicians running our corrupt government all share something equally corrupt in common: They all believe, love, worship, and have faith in a foreign God, specially Jesus - the Jewish Son of a Jewish God.

Knowledge versus Ignorance

Ignorance prevents its own enlightenment. Thanks, however, to the great religions of the world ignorance is not a local, but a global phenomenon. Look how the great majority of mankind has been intimidated to study the Word of God instead of the Works of God. A great many people throughout the world believe as true in a lot of religious nonsense. Where what would suffice for world peace and sanity is simply the belief in common sensibility. Indeed, common sense that tells us all the great religions of the world are baseless and mindless. Indeed, our loyalty to humanity should make more sense than our loyalty for silly divinity! “The good life,” wrote Bertrand Russell, “is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.’ Being guided by love of knowledge we can make our future what we wish it to be. Indeed, in life, we will always find what we are looking for. What we can conceive, we can achieve. When we realize that our present character, our present status in life, our present ability or disability, our present health or the lack of it are all the result of past methods of thinking, we shall begin to have some conceptions of the value of education, indeed, the power of knowledge. As the Sick Man of Asia in this already 21st century living in a hopeless, directionless, if not aimless nation - HELLO you millions of college educated Christians! In the meantime, a nation that believes there is a better world to come out there after death is not likely to give attention to the needs of the next generation. Look back my dear reader. As religious victims of stupid religion remember how our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents would rather love God up there by ignoring the future of our good country down here? That my dear reader is exactly the same attitude millions of Filipinos hold with much faith today about the future of our country. Amongst them are the “high officials” running the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our Philippine government. Not one of them is a humanist or a freethinker, but silly MAKA-DIOS!

Faith in Christ

“Faith in Christ is not just a single step but a life of walking with Him,” Phil Star Nov. 29,2009

Well, take a good look at us Filipinos. The only Christians in all of Asia walking with Christ since the 16th century? Aside from being poor spiritually as a people, bankrupt morally as a nation, look how we continue to have faith in Christ even as we are only getting more famous as the Sick Man of Asia in this already 21st century.

Now take a good and hard look at Bethlehem – the place where Christ of Nazareth was born. It never got to be converted into a Catholic community. It is still part of a Jewish State. Poch Suzara

The Tree of Good and Evil

The bible clearly disclosed about the existence of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Genesis 2: 9, 16-17 For Christ’s sake, can any of you religious faithfools tell me where exactly can I find that tree existing anywhere in the world today? All kinds of trees existing then have survived during all these past centuries. So how come that one particular TREE of knowledge of Good and Evil no longer exists? It has vanished? Is it possible it had already died and is now enjoying eternal plantation in the kingdom of God in heaven? Poch Suzara

God Bless You Holy Baloney

My dear reader, have you ever met any one who enjoys peace and love, security and prosperity and felicity – because he or she has been blessed by a divinity? Obviously this “God Bless you” holy baloney is based on a lot of celestial malarkey. Indeed, “God Bless You” is all about a religious phooey resulting in nothing except the need to pray for more God bless you hooey-chopsuey! In our sick society with sick values and sick beliefs, we are not the master, but the sick victims of religion. We are vulnerable to charlatans, crackpots, bible thumpers, saps, jerks, insane teachers and professors, dishonest priests, and corrupt politicians - the superstitious primitives of our day.

it but to change it. I want my country back from those
who stole it still ruling and dominating it - Christianity - the greatest destroyer of human minds and human hearts. Consider, in this day and age, in our schools, colleges, and universities, we are still taught to believe that we can and must endure this life’s trials because there is a better life to come after death in the next world.

I can still feel the pain today as I witnessed yesterday as a boy seeing my parents, grandparents, and great grand mother together with all other relatives just like the rest of the millions of fellow-Filipinos. We would all be looking up to a God up there by looking down on one another down here right in our own poor and backward country - the Philippines. Indeed, we were always more proud to identify ourselves as Catholics; hardly, however, would we feel the joy of publicly declaring that we are also Filipino citizens of our beloved country.

2 Million Babies

3 babies are born every minute of the day and night in the Philippines. It amounts to about 2 million babies added each and every year to the needless Filipino population growth. It guarantees nothing but more squalor, more misery, and more poverty for our already sick society.

In the meantime, the frightened God-fearing politicians of our corrupt God-fearing government have not ceased declaring they will fight poverty. We have yet to hear them publicly declare that they will fight for family planning and birth control measures as a matter of national policy. Indeed, as a matter of establishing common human decency in the Philippines!

Indeed, religion encourages endless stupidity and an insufficient sense of stark reality that totally negates learning from history. Poch Suzara

Teachers and Professors

Those incapable of higher or deeper learning have taken to teaching... Indeed, for the most part, we are all the victims, not the masters of - education. Our teachers in school, and professors in college teach the same subject year in and year out – most of it obsolete especially on what to believe, and not on how to think. Most of it about old answers; hardly ever about new questions. As if knowledge should only be based upon authority and therefore static and not creative. In fact, knowledge and its growth and development should always be based upon the power of reason and therefore prolific, if not always elastic... For my part, as a little boy, I was always eager to learn things until my parents enrolled me in a Catholic school. Bad teaching made me stupid and fearsome. And so I engineered my own expulsion out of high school in order to save what was left of my distorted mind and twisted heart... We must always remember how limited our present knowledge must be, and in what unexpected ways it is likely to grow and develop. If there centuries were yet to come for mankind, the logic, mathematics, and science of this century will become obsolete. Just as much as the logic, mathematics, and science of the previous centuries have become obsolete in this century. Poch Suzara

Karen Armstrong

Karen Armstrong, in her insightful book - A HISTORY OF GOD, has demonstrated that Jews, Christians, and Muslims were all at one time accused of being atheists when their ideas began to challenge the popular religious wisdom of their day.

For my part, in this 21st century, I need not be accused of atheism. I already openly declared and publicly admitted that I am an atheist whether you like it or not. I am not only challenging the popular religious wisdom of our day. What I am also saying, again and again, is that if we hope to save our world from further destruction, we must all become atheists and learn to embrace the peace, tranquility, and the beauty of atheism.

Indeed, consider the history of our world. There isn't one atheistic country anywhere, at any time, that declared war against another atheistic country for not believing in God.Poch Suzara

Woe Unto the Lord God Himself

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20

Woe therefore unto the Lord God Himself who clearly declared: “I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do these things.” Isaiah 45:7 Poch Suzara

The Art of Habitual Reading

The greatest lesson we can teach children is the art of habitual reading; especially to read properly and thoroughly the holy bible. In this way, children could begin to learn why we are a sick people existing under an insane society.

Consider sick messages from the bible as written by inspired authors of God: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” John 1:15

Or such unhealthy militaristic messages from our loving and kind Savior, the Prince of Peace, the Almighty Son of God Jesus who declared in Luke 19:27 "But those mine enemies, which would not that I reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me."

During my grade school and high school years at De la Salle, we were not allowed to read to bible. We were not also allowed to read Jose Rizal’s Noli and Fili. Other than books sold to us for class usage, we are not allowed to read the so-called “bad books.” In fact, we were taught mostly and mainly how to be active in prayers, not creative nor imaginative or even to be inquisitive as readers.

God as a Burning Bush

We are told that God is not a material, but a spiritual being. Yet in the bible, God is described as a Burning Bush, Exodus 3:1-15. So how come God, as a Burning Bush, eventually got to be materially omni-absent, and not ever more omni-present? It is possible that the Burning Bush actually evolved and relocated itself to the White House in America and renamed itself - President George W. Bush. Poch Suzara

Love versus Hate in the Bible

"He who loves God must love his brother also.” 1 John 4:21. Not, however, according to the Son Of God. In fact, Jesus said: “If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26. Poch Suzara

Life After Death Malarkey

When I say that there is no life after death, I am quickly told: isn’t that a little depressing? Well, isn’t it more depressing if you believe in life after death? Please read your own bible? “The dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward for the memory of them is forgotten.” Eccl. 9:5 Can you also imagine eternal existence without a mind and the capacity to think. With what ears will you hear? With what eyes will you see? With what mouth, lips, and voice box will you speak? With what hand will you feel? What teeth? With what brain will you comprehend? AGAIN a verse from the BIBLE confirms: “For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity. All go to one place; all are from dust, and all turn to dust again." Ecclesiastes, 3:19-20 Never for one moment would you think of your continued life other than in your present form. You want to think that your body, your personality, will be intact. You would find it disgusting that in the after life you will a piece of dust floating in the cosmos. You want to be you. This is what is so pathetic about life after death. You are what is stored in your brain cells. When that rots after you die, all is gone. Your unique individual personality is no more. It's caput! Esta Jodido! At death the cerebral functions cease; there is no more thought process, no reward, no memory, no knowledge, and no access to this world. Death terminates an individual's interaction with this physical dimension of existence. The Bible again clearly states that there's no life after death: “As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.” Job 7:9 That is why it makes more sense to value your life in the here and now. Life is for the living. Go for it; get to the exercise. In the meantime, never belittle the power of your brain – a three pound mass you can hold in your little hand that can discover the galaxies of a trillion stars. Poch Suzara

The Religious Morons

The religious morons are asking me how come as an atheist I am able to quote bible verses left and right with much ease and self-confidence?

Well, Listen to Issac Asimov: “Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived."

And to think the bible is a book for the believers, not for the atheists. And yet,
we atheists are more familiar of its contents than most of you religious morons are conversant with either the Old or the New Testament. Poch Suzara

Knowledge

Knowledge is not only power, it is priceless. By applying knowledge we can make our future what we wish it to be. Indeed, in life, we will always find what we are looking for. Or, what we can conceive, we can achieve. When we realize that our present character, our present status in life, our present ability or disability, our present health or the lack of it are all the result of past methods of thinking, we shall begin to have some conceptions of the value and the power of knowledge.

As to what exactly is happening to us - the Sick Man of Asia in this already 21st century living in a hopeless, directionless, if not aimless nation, HELLO you millions of college educated Christians!

In the meantime, a nation that believes there is a better world to come out there after death is not likely to give attention to the needs of the next generation. Poch Suzara

People Power

People power in the Philippines is more about people than about power.
As a matter of historical fact, we are a powerless people because, to begin with, we sell our votes to the corrupt politicians during election time.
If power were the production of intended results, look at us in our own country – the Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia, especially with our so-called Christian values and beliefs.

We have more of the same nothing as results from political concoction inextricably mixed with religious degradation than we do have powerful results from intellectual, cultural, scientific, and industrial production. Poch Suzara

Poor Filipinos Under Civilization

I am told that God loves the poor. He created so many of them. What a cheap lie. God created the poor in his own image and likeness even though God himself has always been very rich and powerful. Look the Vatican bank that God created, owns, and control? It now has a deposit of trillions of dollars in cash, titles to prime properties and assets, tons of jewelries, tons of gold bullions, and art works, stocks and bonds, etc! No doubt, God loves the poor; but he loves his wealth and power much more than he loves the poverty-stricken; especially those enjoying free will in the Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century. In the meantime, Christianity has taught us to believe that man does not live by bread alone. Well, take a look at civilization under the inspiration of Christian values and beliefs – our civilization has made sure that not everyone should be provided with bread in our poor and backward society. No, this is not suffering. It is called “SACRIFICE” for the glory of God, according to God's priesthood industry. Poch Suzara

The Faitheists – My Enemy

How boring and empty life would be if we have nothing to hate. For my part, I am glad of the existence of the faitheists. I hate them all with a passion. They are my enemy. No, I have no desire to kill them. In fact, I would like to keep them alive. In this way, we can continue debating again each other. I should be among the first to defend their rights to exist in this world.

In the meantime, devoid of hate, and having no enemies to hate - makes for an empty, unhappy and, indeed, boring and meaningless life. Poch Suzara

The whole idea

The whole idea of going to grade school, high school, and college is to prepare you to be fuckable if you were male; and to be equally fuckable if you were female.

Indeed, we live as we must only work for the powers-that-be. In the meantime, in this world, there is no such thing as the struggle for existence. There is only the struggle to fuck each other around especially for the sake of keeping the powers-that-be in power.

I did not have to finish my high school years to see this truth. I refuse to cater to the powers-that-be. I walked out of high school by getting myself expelled. Indeed, whether we are male or female - we are all born ignorant, not stupid. We are made stupid by education. Poch Suzara

Nothing is Impossible with God

Nothing is impossible with God! No Kidding? How come it has always been impossible with God to stop screwing around with the devil? As a matter of fact, God, always happy and contented screwing around with the devil, and the devil, always so appreciative and satisfied, sees to it that we also never stop praying daily to God to “lead us not into temptation. Amen.” Poch Suzara

The Manny Pacquiao I Should Wish to respect and Admire

All the congressmen admire and respect and envy you, why in hell would you want to lower your great status in this world by wanting to be another stupid politician in congress? You are the only Filipino who became rich and famous not owing to lies, deception, or stealing, or by corruption, or even by being submissive or subservient to any foreign exploitation. With much self-respect and dignity - you did it with your own talents and abilities in the field of sports – boxing. I respect and admire Manny. I have every hope he will contribute greatly to the growth and development of the sports industry of the Philippines. Indeed, more and more Filipino athletes could show the world what we Filipinos are capable of achieving without having to resort to degradation, corruption, or superstition, or even to brain exportation. Indeed, no great achievement is possible without discipline, persistent hard work, dedication , and financial support. In the meantime, I have every hope that Manny Pacquiao will soon drop that silly habit of his making the sign of the cross before a fight; especially against a fellow Catholic boxer. As if he is still a thoughtless little boy under the inspiration of a silly, equally thoughtless, anti-Pinoy Jewish divinity. Poch Suzara

Love

Love is a dirty trick played on men to believe that one woman differs from another. The plain fact is that women are all born equal as men. In fact, man is woman and woman is man with the slight difference that does not matter except on special occasions. Of course men in love with their own stupidity call it “free will.” The women in love with financial security call it “good will.” As if there is such an animal existing anywhere on this earth known as “financial security.”

Funny how men believe as they have been indoctrinated to believe that God will provide; even for the mother of his abandoned children.

For many years I was one such religious moron myself. I believed in this male/female bullshit religious arrangement taught to me to believe through Christ, our Lord, Amen.

Today however, as an atheist and a freethinker, I do not want my woman to be involved in any form of rat-race because it is so obvious that even if she wins, she will still turn out to be a rat. No doubt we all have to earn a living. We do not have to do so by throwing away our pride, honor, self-respect, especially throwing away our power of intellect to question EVERYTHING.

In fact, show me that you are a woman of substance, and not a woman of pittance, and I will never let you go. I will stick by you, come hell or high waters, for the rest of my life. Poch Suzara

Pinoys and Pinays Overseas

It is amusing to see Pinoys and Pinays live and work in foreign countries. They certainly earn higher wages. They continue, however, to be down with poverty, especially poverty of the worse kind – the poverty of the mind and heart. They seem not able to enrich themselves with courage, especially intellectual courage. They only continue to carry on with the mentality of financial timidity rather than begin to enjoy the beauty of self-respect and the power of human dignity. Indeed, they have yet to learn how to live and to enjoy the search of the truth - especially as the truth has no need for an army, a navy, or an air force to be on its side.

In the meantime, none of the higher mental processes are required for conservatism, sensationalism, alcoholism, Americanism, sexism, or, for that matter - Catholicism. Poch Suzara

Jesus

Jesus in the bible said: “I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believeth thou this.” John 11:25-26

Can any of you faitheists explain in simple language this horror: What are the millions of faithful and devoted Christians including our own loved-ones doing dead and buried and rotting in the lifeless cemetery if there is life after death?

Now Jesus in the same bible says with great pride: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

Crucified on the cross, however, Jesus cried out loud: “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Mark 15:34

Could any of you bible scholars and readers - explain what’s really going on here? Earlier, like in Matthew 3:17, God openly declared: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” What’s happening here? A change of heart? What kind of loving Gods are these supernatural beings? – the Savior of mankind! Poch Suzara

Corruption in the Philippines

Corruption in the Philippines in this 21st century? Take a good look at corruption in the Philippines in the 19th century.

Jose Rizal wrote in 1886: “In the catalogue of human ills there is to be found a cancer so malignant that the least touch inflames it and cause agonizing pains; afflicted with such a cancer, a social cancer, and seeking the best care for your ills, I shall do with you what was done in ages past with the sick. I shall endeavor to show your condition, faithfully and ruthlessly. I shall lift a corner of the veil which shrouds the disease, sacrificing to the truth everything, even self-love – for, as your son, your defects and weaknesses are also mine.”

Today in our sick and insane society, millions upon millions of college-educated men and women hardly know the real Jose Rizal one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever produced. Under pains of going to hell forever, millions have been frightened to believe that before he was executed by firing squad, as authorized by the power of the Catholic church, Rizal cried by a little boy, begged to go to confession, heard mass, received communion, and retracted. After which never was he even given a Catholic burial, his remains just put inside an old sack and then thrown in Paco cemetery.

Rizal retracted? What brazen lies told and spread by the Spanish catholic friars who, at best, were all a bunch of religious clowns; at worst, a gang of religious criminals as the protectors, if not the managers of the wealth and power of the Catholic church. Poch Suzara

God-Believers and Preachers

It is interesting to observe the God-believers try to prove the existence of God precisely by proving the existence of human ignorance. Each scientific achievement has been resisted on the grounds that man must never ”play God.” Yet, when science has succeeded in harnessing the atom, conquered a disease, landed on the moon, produced the computer, invented the cell-phone, etc. – the God-believers have taken great pride in boasting about the new problems we have created for ourselves. The assumption is that the God of ignorance cannot be conquered by mere mortals. So the existence of unsolved problems proves the existence of “God.” To worship “God” therefore is to worship ignorance.

In the meantime, most Filipino preachers today, especially of the Libreo, or worst – the “love to all” bullshit variety from our Danding on these pages, make no bones about God being a panacea. They spend their sermon-writings enumerating all the problems of atheism; then at the end, they declare that everything from hate to violence and war, and poor logic, if not our sick and insane society would suddenly vanish if everyone would only “turn back to love God.”

There was, indeed, a period “back” there when everyone man, woman, and child in this world did “turn to love God” and His priests, just as the preachers plead. We call that period the DARK AGES. Poch Suzara

The free will Bullshit

It is written in the holy bible: “God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things that are mighty.” 1 Cor. 1:27 Well, here’s more free will bullshit from the same holy bible: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock. And it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that To think that for more than 400 years now we Filipinos, proud of our free will, so deep in our faith in God - have not ceased asking, have not ceased seeking, have not ceased knocking – only to be told over and over again by God’s rich and powerful agents or representatives that we must only repeat the request, or do it again and again, or pray harder, never give up, and never lose faith because God is good and kind and loving. The daily bread for everyone will be coming very soon for all Filipinos to enjoy in the Philippines. In the meantime, since 1990s about 15,000,000 (million) Filipinos have already migrated to live and work in some 168 foreign countries most of them non-christian countries enjoying not only a higher standard of living, enjoying not only a higher standard of thinking, but also enjoying the availability of a government that works in such foreign countries.
