Intelligent Unbelief

The trouble in our world comes mostly from religious morons who are ready and willing to fight for their stupid belief; only the few are courageous enough to fight for their intelligent unbelief. For my part, I am most happy and proud that I managed, somehow, down through the years, to dumped all of the stupid beliefs I acquired during my formative years in grade school - down the garbage bin.

I am asked: what is the difference between a stupid believer and an intelligent thinker. The stupid believer enjoys believing more than he does thinking. The intelligent thinker enjoys thinking more than he does believing. Poch Suzara

On Thanksgiving Day

On Thanksgiving Day, I thank guys like you for making me more famous. Thank you for the publicity. I am proud of you for making more and more people listen to what I have been saying all along - the truth can never remain forever submerged. Sooner or later - the TRUTH will emerge. Please keep it up. Thanks to you more and more people are beginning to realize that I am making a lot of sense not only as man, not only as a Filipino, not only as an American, not only as a Spaniard, not only as a La Salle high-school expelled student, but more so, indeed, as an unbeliever of the faith - as an atheist. No doubt, the truth hurts; especially to the frightened saps and indeed, to the religious morons like you are as a college educated jerk. For my part, I love the truth. The truth is a shinning goddess, always veiled, always distant, never wholly approachable, but worthy of pursuit as a lifetime adventure. Poch Suzara

WHAT I LOVE AND WHAT I HATE

With every drop of my blood I hate religion. I detest lies and deception. I reject superstition. I abhor every form of slavery. I oppose falsity, laugh at mediocrity, and I wage war against any school, college, or university that support biblical mendacity, political stupidity, economic perversity, moral bankruptcy, and social insanity.

I love the search of the truth - spirit of free inquiry; especially as it inspires the power of the mind and heart to enhance the beauty of liberty spreading the values of freedom and democracy.

The freedom of religion is malicious; however, far more precious is the freedom away from religion. It is all about the freedom of the mind. There is nothing quite like it in all of nature. Without freedom of the mind all else is shallow, vague, and banal.

These loves and hates will do for today. Tomorrow I may want to love more; and day after tomorrow I may want to hate more. It all depends on how effective we all are in promoting human intelligence down here by rejecting divine malevolence from up there. Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russel - a God to me

As a little boy in school, my priest-confessor often told that I am not a perfect being. I should therefore always kneel down and ask God for the forgiveness of my defects. Indeed, that eventual obliteration will be a better situation than my need to seek reconstruction. Bertrand Russell arrived into my life after I was lucky enough to have been expelled out of La Salle high school. He said: “No one is perfect and we should never be bothered by the fact that we are not perfect.” Russell also taught me to question everything including his own ideas and values. He wrote: "It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly." These words have not ceased to stir my mind and heart to this day. If there were ever a thinker I have learned to love and respect – such a thinker was Bertrand Russell. Indeed, Russell saved not my stupid soul; he saved, instead, my intelligent mind. Much to my happiness, it was Bertrand Russell who introduced me to love and respect as well our own great thinker - Jose Rizal. None of my teachers in school taught me to see how great a Filipino humanist/scientists was our own Dr. Jose Rizal Oh Bertrand Russell, whenever you are - thank you for teaching me intellectual courage to face the horrors in nature. And thank you as well for making me realize that our world is infested with religious insanity and political stupidity; and that life is not worth living unless we struggle by declaring war to defeat such horrors - horrors that's keeping our world poor spiritually, backward morally, and fucked economically Poch Suzara

Delusion in Cahoots with Confusion

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. Luke 1:27

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. Rom. 1:3

Jesus, the son of Joseph which was the son of Heli. Luke 33:23

And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus. Matt. 1:6

Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" Matt. 17:5

The beloved son declares: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26

In view of the above biblical complication, is it really that hard to see why as the only Christian country in Asia, we Filipinos are so proud of our delusion as a people and even more so proud of our confusion as a nation? Poch Suzara

System of Learning

Our system of education does not encourage human benevolence; on the contrary, it stultifies the potential for human intelligence. Education is suppose to promote, not demote the power of the human mind; indeed, it is suppose to nourish, not malnourished the beauty of the human heart.

In the Philippines, thanks to our so-called system of learning - we are mainly taught how to be faithful and proud as the Sick Man of Asia. It is, in this way, that we must hold nothing but contempt for those others who have the fearless capacity to think. Indeed, contempt for those others who question what has always been taken for granted in this poor and backward country of ours. Poch Suzara

Medulla Oblongata

The bible says: "Do not be carried about with divers and strange doctrines." Heb. 13:9.

Indeed, be on the look out for Catholic dogma, Presbyterian pigma, and Lutheran hogma, or be the victim of a holy stigma. They are out to severely damage your Medulla Oblongata. Poch Suzara

Sick Man and Sick Woman of Asia

In school, we were taught more about the laws of God than we were inspired to discover the laws of nature and the laws of our land. Indeed, in class, to learn how to be faithful religiously for the rest of our lives. We were taught to mind not how to be well-informed citizens of our country. How to be creative or productive for our growth as a people and for our maturity as a nation.

We hardly had science. The learning of the scientific way of thinking was never encouraged in us during grade school, high school, and in college. Only the learning of more religion based on theology which is the study of the unknowable, if not the pursuit of the mystery. It is no wonder that in the Philippines, as college educated men and women we are all good; unfortunately for our country and its future, all good for nothing.

In the meantime, as the Sick Man and Sick Woman of Asia, life in general in the Philippines can be characterized as the competition to be the criminal or be the victims of the criminal. To think we are products of La Salle, Ateneo, San Beda, Letran, UST, Assumption college, Miriam college, University of the Philippines, The Asian institute of Management, etc. etc.

But as Filipinos, why should we care? It has been emphasized during our so-called "education" that we need not love our country, neither to love the natural resources that are in our country. If any Filipino loves his country, the love of God is not in Him. After all, we were all frightened to believe and to have faith that there is a better country to come after death with God in heaven.

I said it before, I say it again: We are not the intelligent masters of education. We are the stupid victims of lies and deception otherwise less known as the "system of indoctrination." Poch Suzara

Sick Holy Bible

I said it before, I say it again: If only readers were more conversant with the sick contents of the sick bible, written by sick authors as inspired by a sick God, you would think of me as a piker, an amateur, a tyro at using so-called "vulgar," "dirty," "gutter," or "sick" language in any debate on the subject of the holy shit otherwise more known as the "Revealed Truth of God in the Holy Bible." The trouble with you sick religious morons is that you never bother to seriously read and study your sick bible. By the way, there are some 57 different versions of the bible sold in bookstores today. In my personal library of books I only have the Catholic bible, Duane, Good New Bible, and the bible edited by pastor Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement in the Philippines...

The Gods of Great Thinkers

Here's the GOD of Mar Patalinjug:

Time and time again, I have characterized this biblical "God" as vicious, malicious, ferocious, vain, vainglorious, vengeful, hateful, murderous, cantankerous, and utterly devoid of what we human beings know as love and compassion. The bible verses you quote in this Post confirm what I personally think of this biblical "God."

Here's the GOD of Richard Dawkins:

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

Here's the GOD of Poch Suzara:

All, but all of my silly teachers in La Salle grade school and La Salle high school were all a GOD to me. If I disagreed with any of them on any subject - they threatened me with either being thrown out of class or suspended for several days out of school premises. Gradually, in the end, happily, luckily, fortunately - I was finally expelled out of first year high school.

Jesus as BIG BUSINESS

The religious, bible bobos, scared fatheads, and the frightened wimps as among the kind of victims that make organized religion such a lucrative business in this country keeping it poor and backward.

Indeed, Brother Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; Brother Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Movement; and Eli Soriano of Dating Daan, to name a few, are among the very wealthy religious businessmen today in our sick society. Imagine these amateur pikers among the few rich and the famous operating the business of selling Jesus only in decades! Then compare the wealth, power, and glory of the Catholic church and Iglesia Ni Cristo operating the bigger business of selling eternal salvation for centuries in this poor and backward country.

For my part, I only have to think of my parents, grandparents great grandparents, uncles, aunties, nephews, nieces, cousins, in-laws, my children, my children, grandchildren, wife, friends, classmates, and schoolmates - all as the poor victims of religion. Seldom the masters of courageous thoughts. It makes the blood inside my brain get hot to a scandalous temperature. Poch Suzara

Praying and Hallucinating

When you talk to God, it's called PRAYING. When God talks to you, it's called HALLUCINATING! The last time I talked to God and God talked to me was when I was 14 years old! Neither of us made any sense to each other at all. It was also the last time God and I ever heard from each other ever again! After which, I stopped bothering God and God also stopped bothering me. It has been a happy and a dignified arrangement - God stopped believing in me and I stopped believing in God. It is what I think of my stand as a decent human being gifted with self-respect and dignity and indeed, with intellectual courage to value not my "free will" but my "good will."! Poch Suzara

Kill the Church

Human intelligence will eventually kill the Church of all Religions. After all, religion has been based on nothing but self-imposed mendacity - plain and simple. Indeed, the same religion that encourages mediocrity to have faith in the perpetual horror known as stupidity that generates social insanity. Poch Suzara

Letters Written years Ago

NY,NY, 08 Nov 2011 Dear Helen: Pocholo Suzara is one Filipino who uses his Cognitive Powers as they should be used - logically and rationally. As a Filipino intellectual of the First Degree, he is a rara avis. He is more of a rara avis because he is not afraid of the naked, the brutal and the unvarnished TRUTH. Poch Suzara has earned his rightful place among the world's Great Thinkers. Mar Patalinjug My Dear Mar, Thank you for your great thoughts about me. Please rest assured that I have just began the fight. I am already 74 years old. I have a few years, perhaps a few months, or who knows a few days to live on this earth. But I will do my best to deliver the promise I made to myself when I was 14 years old - expelled out of La Salle high school: In the years ahead, I promised I will somehow play a role, a part, no matter how puny, or how insignificant in the ambitious task of bringing down the evil monster that's keeping us Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and morally frightened as a nation - the evil monster otherwise more known as Christianity in the Philippines. Established here since the 16th century. Indeed, it is not enough to rock the Christian boat in the Philippines. It is time that we sink it permanently out of its existence. Let us give our children and children's children a fighting chance to learn how to live the good life - one inspired by love of this world and guided by knowledge of this world. In this way, like the few of us today, they too will have found a purpose to leave this world one day a better place than we found it. Cheers!

We All Live in a Fucking World

When a man is sexually aroused, he gets an erection. The blood in his brain goes to his sexual organ. The same thing happens to his woman also sexually aroused - the blood in her brain goes to her vagina ready to be invaginated. In other words, replenishing the earth or propagating the human race – can only be accomplished by mindless fathers and thoughtless mothers enjoying sexual embrace devoid of intellectual profundity. We are all the masters as well as the victims of this biological complexity. Preposterous as it is. To think that we are all the result of mindless mating between mom and dad. We are all born not only wet, crying, hungry, bloodied, and uncircumcised, but also born like the way the animals are born - dirty and maladorous? But then again we are told that God gifted babies with a free will during birth. As if babies could be free to choose not to be born at all or to choose one's gender to be born a boy or a girl. Indeed, free will is a religious hogwash! Happy birthday greetings is based not on truth. No one is born happy. In fact, we are born like the animals are born ignorant which has nothing to do with happiness! In the meantime, the human world population today at 7 BILLION people is proof enough that we humans all live in a FUCKING world. Indeed, we hardly live in a THINKING world. It is, in this way, that we are destroying ourselves as humans - thoughtless and reckless as we are. We are destroying the only home we have in this world - the Planet Earth! Poch Suzara

The Real Atheists

There are one billion silly atheists in this world today. They are known as the "Christians" who do not believe in the existence of "Allah" the God of the Muslims.

There are also another kind of silly atheists in this world today. The 1 billion Muslims do not believe in the existence of the God of the Christians known as GOD.

As with me, I am the REAL kind of an atheist. I do not believe in the existence of ALLAH, the God of the Muslims. I also do not believe in the existence of the God of the Christian.

Life on this earth is so short, so brief, so fleeting, I find it utterly silly to believe in the existence of such silly GODS. Poch Suzara

All Great Religions

The great religions of the world have ALL been based on one great evil only: Loving a God up there for the sake of hating one another down here.

The Power of Silly Prayer

Nov. 3, 2011
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Letter to the Editors
Dear Sirs:
To believe in the power of prayer is like believing that God up there will alter His Divine Plans formulated centuries ago to conform to our needs in this 21st century down here.

Again, saying prayers is equivalent to believing that the Philippines is governed by a Supreme Being who changes his mind if we Filipinos ask him in our prayer to do so.

Since Christianity arrived some 400 years ago - I have yet to see how exactly prayers have transformed our country into one of the most developed and advanced country of Asia? But here's what is even more ticklish: We are told that if we want to solve our problems as a people or solve our troubles as a nation - we must only pray. Now if nothing happens, we must only pray harder. And if nothing still happens, it is only because we do not know how to pray!

In the meantime, our children in school are taught how to pray. It is the best way to teach them how to seek fantasy solutions to real problems. But then again, if God were all-knowing, why should he be bothered with daily prayers? The encouragement of prayer promotes selfishness. People pray for that for which they have not labored or thought. Prayer also undermines the power of human intelligence. Prayer causes a weakening of self-reliance and a corresponding deterioration of character. In fact, daily prayers are among the most effective causes that keep us Filipinos poor spiritually, backward morally, impoverished economically, insane politically, not to mention empty historically.

The question I asked decades ago, I still am asking today: Is there hope for our country? Yes, with intelligent leaders? Never with stupid prayers! Poch Suzara

The Bible Thrown Out the Window

There is absolutely no information in the Bible that we can make any use of as we goes through life. The Bible is not a book of knowledge. It does not give instruction in any of the sciences. It furnishes no help to labor. It is useless as a political guide. There is nothing in it that gives the mechanic any hint, or affords the farmer any enlightenment in his occupation.

If a Filipino wishes to learn about the earth or the heavens; about life or the animal kingdom, he has no need to study the Bible. If he is desirous of reading the best poetry or the most entertaining literature he will not find it in the Bible. If he wants to read to store his mind with facts, the Bible is the last book for him to open, for never yet was a volume written that contained fewer facts than this book. If he is anxious to get some information that will help him earn an honest living he does not want to spend his time reading Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Kings, Psalms, or the Gospels. If he wants to read just for the fun of reading, to kill time, or to see how much nonsensical writing there is in one book, let him read the Bible.

I have said it before - there are not wise sayings in the Bible, or a few dramatic incidents, but there are just as wise sayings, and wiser ones, too, out of the book, and there are dramas of human life that surpass in interest anything contained in the Old or New Testament.

No person can make a decent excuse for reading the Bible more than once. To do such a thing would be a foolish waste of time. But my vehement objection to reading this book is, not that it contains nothing particularly good, but that it contains so much that is garbage for one's intellectual life. To read this book is to get false ideas, absurd ideas, bad ideas. The injury to the human mind that reads the Bible as a reliable book is beyond repair. I do not think that this book should be read by children, by any any Filipino less than twenty years of age, and it would be better for the Philippines if not a Pinoy or a Pinay read a line of it until he or she was fifty years old.

What I want to say is this, that there is nothing in the Bible that is of the least consequence to the people of this already 21st century. English literature is richer a thousand fold than this so- called sacred volume. We have books of more information and of more inspiration than the Bible. As the relic of a barbarous and superstitious people, it should have a place in our libraries, but it is not a work of any value to this age. I pity Filipinos who stand in pulpits and call this book the word of God. I wish they had brains enough to earn their living without having to repeat these lies and deceptions. The day will come when this book will be estimated for what it is worth, and when that day comes, the Bible will no longer be called the word of God, but the work of ignorant, superstitious men.

In the meantime, a great scientist/writer Isaac Asimov fearlessly
stated: "Properly read the bible is the most potent force for ATHEISM ever invented by man." Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell and the Truth

So why not reject and discard your COMPUTER machine? Throw it out the window. Atheist Bertrand Russell was one of the FATHERS of the COMPUTER INDUSTRY. It is embarrassing, isn't it, when I criticize Jesus in his own silly bible, I know exactly what I am talking about. I quote to you evidences as written in the bible. With you followers of Jesus, all you can say about Bertrand Russell is that he was unhappily married 4 times. But you never are able to point out to me how Bertrand Russell as a mathematician, as a logician, and as a philosopher wrote books filled with inconsistencies, absurdities, obscenities, atrocities, lies, contradictions, and deceptions. If you study the writings of Bertrand Russell, you will realize that if had made mistakes, where he was wrong, he spoiled the fun by pointing out the errors himself. In spite of all the logical and philosophical advances for which Russell is responsible of, and in spite of all the dark places which he has made plain, one is tempted to say a greater thinker would be somebody finding fundamental fault in his work. In fact, any subsequent philosopher worth his salt has to begin where he left off because, simply, it is impossible to be satisfied with things as Russell has left them. Listen to what Bertrand Russell wrote: "Without the capacity for mental solitude, none of the supreme achievements of human genius would have been possible." For my part, as a student of Bertrand Russell ever since I was expelled out of high school 60 years ago, I am fully aware that he was a man with a passionate hatred of folly and cruelty. But he also gave to others, to students like me, the courage, hope, and heart in the fight against such horrors. Thus, I would rather be busy studying, reading, writing, and learning as a thoughtful man without a wife than be busy with a wife at home or with tutie-fruties outside the home. In the meantime, indeed, we all spend our lives looking for the things we have missed during our childhood years. With me at home and in school - the truth. Poch Suzara

Pope Pius Poch Suzara

According to Catholic doctrines any layman can become the Pope. That is why I still have hope. Wait till I become the Pope. The first thing I will do is to dismantle
the VATICAN BANK and distribute the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS deposited in that bank to
the 1 BILLION poor CATHOLICS in all Catholic countries - specially in this only Catholic country in all of Asia - the Philippines - the poorest among the poor Catholics anywhere in this world. Pope Pius Poch Suzara

Bertrand Russell and Jesus

It is ironic that Russell himself did not live a happy life. From all accounts, Russell lived a turbulent, bleak and joyless existence. Russell went through 4 failed marriages. Poch, is this the kind of person that you would idolize like a god? Ben Rivera Yes Bertrand Russell was married 4 times with 4 different women. He also had countless sexual affairs with women outside marriage, What about your Sweet Jesus? He was never with a woman. He was always hanging around with 12 men and washing their feet too. Is that the kind of wimp you love, worship, and adore as a god? Poch Suzara

God the mass murderer!

* 1 Chronicles 21:1-14 - god kills 70000 people. Why? David decided to take a census

They were angry about an earlier incident where god killed 250 people who were burning incense without permission. * Numbers 25:1-9 - god kills 24000 people. Why? They were whoring around. * Judges 1:4, 3:28-29 - god kills 10000 Canaanites, Perizzites, and 10000 Moabites. Why? Just because, that's why. * Isaiah 37:1-36 - god kills 185000 Assyrians. Why? Their king and his men mocked god. * 1 Samuel 6:19 - god kills 50000 people. Why? They looked into the Ark of the Covenant. I can't even pretend to understand this one. * Amos 5:1-3 - god threatens to kill 90% of all Israelites when the tribe abandon him. Poch Suzara

Communism, Capitalism, and Catholicism

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Matt. 21:19 Well, in the Philippines, the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, we Filipinos, as faithful followers of Christ, sold our possessions to the rich. We are now the poor. In the meantime, the richest, most powerful economy in the world today is organized religion in general; the Catholic church in particular. At any rate, I take my hat off to the Chinese leaders of China. They are thinkers. They are not afraid to think. Decades ago, Chinese leaders asked: WHAT IF WE MERGE COMMUNISM WITH CAPITALISM? They did! Look at China today. Far more than having billionaires as individuals, the whole of China is a billionaire as a nation today. In the Philippines, in this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still arguing back and forth whether as followers of Christ we should continue to maintain our religious insanity together with political stupidity so that we will have more opportunities to please divinity; After all, we continue to believe in the promises of Christianity - such as that there is a better world to come after death for us poor Filipinos to enjoy eternal prosperity! Come on my dear readers - WAKE UP! Must we remain spiritually fucked one this earth as we will also be spiritually fucked as a people later after death with Jesus and his angels in heaven??

Death with Nancy

Nancy,

Please read your bible. See Eccl. 9:5 "The dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward for the memory of them is forgotten."

Nancy, I ask: After death, and our bodies and brains begin to rot - with what eyes shall we see, with what ears shall we hear, with what nose shall we smell, with what palate shall we taste, with what skin shall we feel, and with what brain shall we think?

Here is more for your thought: The day we are born is the day we begin to live in
a dying body.

Really Nancy, the most we should have is the courage to face what Bertrand Russell realistically put into thinking words: IF WE MUST DIE, LET US DIE SOBER, AND NOT DRUNK WITH LIES. Poch Suzara

Religion and War

Religion is big business. War is big business. As a matter of historical fact both religion and war have always been in cahoots together in the business of making money. Religion makes big profit selling salvation to the frightened. War makes big profit selling ammunition also to the frightened. Both the religion industry and the war industry are behind, if not the owners of schools, colleges, and universities. In the USA it is more popularly known as the Military-Industrial-University Complex,

For my part, I am proud to be against war: people killing people. I am a conscientious objector. I am also an atheist. I do not believe in the God of any religion. I do not care for divinity. I am only always on the side of humanity,

No doubt, religion makes men good; unfortunately, good for nothing. In the meantime, religion, like war, has nothing to do with life after birth. Only much
to do with life after death. As if there is any.

Indeed, after death, with what eyes shall we see? With what ears shall we hear? with what nose shall we smell? With what palate shall we taste? With what skin shall we feel? With what dead and decaying brain shall we be able to think?

In the ultimate analysis, both religion and war have always been the most successful and most profitable in the world of big business. The promises of
life after death sells like hot cake inside churches and cathedrals; and, in
the battlefield! Poch Suzara

Lost Marbles

I am told by the religious morons who are all thoughtlessly shocked at my thoughts to provoke your thoughts - that I have lost all my marbles.

Great Success of the Catholic Church

The fact that we Filipinos are the most sinful as a people, and ours is the most corrupt as a nation is proof enough that the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH is not a dismal failure; on the contrary - a great pontifical SUCCESS in the Philippines.

And to think that millions of Filipino Catholic sinners down here are waiting for the Second Coming of Jesus who was himself never baptized as a Catholic for the glory of a Catholic God in a Catholic heaven up there! Poch Suzara

Catholic Charity in the Philippines

After more than 2,000 years of Catholic charity, it would be great if you, my dear reader, could explain how, where, and when Catholic Charity has ever eliminated poverty out of any Catholic country in the world - like the Philippines - the only Catholic country in all of Asia since the 16th century. Indeed, how come we Filipinos, the only people in all of Asia who love and adore Jesus as the Son of God and yet, we poor Filipinos, the majority of us, recipients of Catholic charity daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - continue only to be getting poorer as a people, not getting any richer even as a nation; and even more ticklish, we continue to endlessly suffer poverty of the worst kind - the poverty of the mind and heart? Indeed, SMILE, God loves the Filipinos in the Philippines, but He needs MONEY!. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

How Do We Fight Catholicism

How do we fight Catholicism? How do we get it expunged out of our country? I say by exposing its lies and deceptions. The religious horrors that's been keeping us Filipino spiritually sick as a people and morally corrupt as a nation. A good place to start is inside our schools, colleges, and universities. Our system of education should have nothing to do whatsoever with Catholicism - the killer not only of our Jose Rizal, but also the killer of Filipinos minds and the killer of Filipino hearts.

Silly Holy Bible

Dear Blanca, You believe in a book WRITTEN by INSPIRED authors of God that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons,mediums, spiritists, flying chariots, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, people resurrecting from death, a mother eats her own son, camels wearing necklaces, a man without father nor mother, a man who has 30 sons, rode on 30 donkeys and controlled 30 cities, laughter a foolish thing, characters living over 900 years, bread cooked in cow dung, drinking one's urine and dung, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories. And you have the gall to tell me that since I am an atheist, I really need spiritual guidance from the Holy Spirit so that I may understand properly and accept seriously the Revealed Truth in the Old and in the New Testament as written by inspired authors of God?

Spiritually Sick Man of Asia

The clearest definition of insanity or what it means to be the spiritually SICK MAN OF ASIA is found in the Holy Bible: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, his mother, his wife, his children, his brethren, his sisters, and yea his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26 Look how in our sick system of basic education we are taught first and foremost how to love the Lord Jesus up there by hating one another down here! Poch Suzara

Philippines Still in the Dark Age

Once there was a time when every man, woman, and child in this world believed in God and the church ruled. Historians refer to this time as the Dark Ages. It lasted for a thousand years - from the 5th to the 15th century. It is, however, still on going in the Philippines. The beliefs and values taught during the Dark Ages are still taught today in our schools, colleges, and universities. Look at corruption as a way of daily life in the Philippines. Why not? After all, there is always a kind, loving, merciful, and all-powerful God up there who can, at any time, forgive us of our sins and crimes and corruption down here! look at our corrupt government officials always taking advantage of such forgiveness of sin and crime by a "higher power" more known as "God" with his great ability to forgive sins and crimes.

Filipinos in Heaven with Jesus

"About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said,“I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven." Matt 18:1-3 Notice in the bible Jesus did not bother to explain where or which galaxies is the Kingdom of God located. A galaxy contains an average of 400 million stars and planets. And there are billions of such galaxies existing out there. More to the point, after death, by what mode of transportation does the soul embark on in order to travel to heaven? In the meantime, isn't it rather ticklish: Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die! Poch Suzara

The Real Atheist

There are 1,000,000,000 (billion Catholics. According to the Muslims the Catholics are al atheists as they do not believe in the existence of ALLAH - the God of Islam.

There are also 1,000,000,00 (Billion) Muslims. According to the Catholics the Muslims are all atheists as they do not believe in the existence of the God of Christianity.

As with me, I am the real ATHEIST. I do not believe, nay, I do not care to believe in the existence of either God of Christianity or Allah of Islam; or any other God for that matter.

Indeed, I have no religion; especially as religion encourages individual stupidity, promotes social insanity, and fosters hate for humanity - globally! Poch Suzara

On Being Courageous and Truthful

"In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell If I may add, in the Philippines, if you were an avid reader - one who lives in a library of books; and one who is truthful and courageous in exposing the lies and deceptions that's keeping our country historically sick, spiritually poor, and morally backward - you are branded as one who is a failure, a loser, an insane atheist, and a worthless bum, indeed, you are nothing but a La Salle high school Expelled student.

Open Letter to my Countrymen

Open Letter to my Country-men The only kind of salvation we need is the salvation away from lies and deceptions. They are otherwise more known as divine revelation. In this already 21st century we should begin to re-educate to revitalize ourselves as nation. It is time to dump ignorance as a religion out of our basic system of education. Religion has been and still is the curse and the cause of our troubles and problems as Filipinos. Life after birth should never be big business for schools, colleges, and universities; and, indeed, life after death should also never be a bigger business for the priesthood industry in our country. The truth hurts; but lies and deceptions are far more damaging. They can last for a thousand years. Take a good look at our formative years in school: It is where corruption comes from. Look at the way we Filipinos have been frightened to believe and to have faith in "God is love." That our sins or crimes are readily forgivable by God. Moreover, that God so love the Philippines in that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have life everlasting. I ask: If God so love the Philippines, how come after 400 years as the only "God is love" country in all of Asia, our country is still full of suffering, corruption, disease, disaster, poverty, pain, political degradations. and indeed - full of lies and deceptions? Nay, how come our schools, colleges, and universities continue to teach that the causes that make for our sick society are mainly due to our sick "free will." Well, if this were true, how come our system of education has utterly failed to remedy the situation? A Good Will is more functional and reliable than "free will." In the meantime, a Jewish savior born 2,000 years ago in a foreign land known as Jesus is far more admired, more loved, more respected by millions of Filipinos than our own Jose Rizal - a Filipino savior right here in our own country born less than 200 years ago. Listen to the words of - Jose Rizal: "I would like the Filipino to be Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive." Now listen to Jesus. He warned: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethern, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26. Jesus also declared: "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me. Luke 19:27 We Filipinos, via a functional system of education, can surely learn how to discover, explore, and exploit the tremendous wealth of our own natural resources. The greatest of which is the Filipino mind and heart! I ask: Have we ever heard of a foreign country where its people achieved a higher standard of living, and a higher standard of thinking not by hard working, not by hard thinking, but only by easy praying? especially to give us this day our "daily bread" and to "lead us not into temptation?" Life is either a daring adventure or a frightened situation. I said it before, I say it again: those who live in fear of death live in fear of life. Surely, nature will kill us all one day on this earth. The least, however, we can do is to face death not by kneeling down to an authority, but by standing up with self-respect and dignity. There is nothing more ennobling than to live the good life - one inspired by love of fellow citizens and guided by the power of science and technology enhancing the welfare of our own country under freedom and democracy. Let us look deep at those who are spiritually malnourished; and let us look deeper at our morally impoverished nation. Then let us conclude that our self-imposed maladies are mostly due to, if not the result of - the sick bible and its sick teachings. Indeed, look at us Filipinos in this already 21st century. We still believe that human life is a defect, and that we need not bother with reconstruction. We must only seek obliteration. It is, in this way, that the religious traders or bible brokers are selling what millions of Filipinos are buying: - Jesus! In the meantime, there is nothing more pathetic in our history than the hopeless resignation of our women to the outrages she has been taught to believe are declared to be ordained by Jesus. Who speaks for the Philippines? We, the Filipino atheists, speak for the Philippines! As atheists we love not divinity up there; we only love our country down here. We atheists speak for the Philippines. Poch Suzara

Science and Faith

Science and technology takes us on the flight to conquer and to grace the moon. Faith and theology takes us on a flight to destroy or to disgrace tall buildings that goes boom! Poch Suzara

The Fool Saith in His Heart

"The fool saith in his heart, There is no God. But the bigger fools, in fact millions of them saith there is a God. They are guided not by a spiritual, but by a commercial enterprise known as the priesthood industry - the real owners of schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines. Those who play no daily part of this evils are called atheist, freethinkers, heretics, agnostics, infidels, and social outcasts. The priesthood industry sees to it that such "lost souls" are damned forever in hell. The fool saith that there is no religion. But more fools, in fact millions of them saith that there is the religion of God. It is, indeed, known as the Catholic church operating as a priesthood corporation - the owner of the Vatican bank - the richest bank in the world today. Poch Suzara

Live each day - Steve Jobs

“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: ‘If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.’ It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” — Steve Jobs This is what I mean when I say let us try and leave this world a better place than we found it. Imagine Steve Jobs, an "educated" product of, say, De la Salle University. He was taught to love not this world, but to believe and to have faith only that there is a better world come after death. Therefore we need not improve or change anything around us. We must only learn to pray to: "St. John Baptist De La Salle pray for us. Leave Jesus in our hearts forever." Or, learn only to pray daily to God to "give us this day our daily bread and lead us not into temptation." Or, learn to pray only to Mary, Mother of God, to "pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen. Steve Jobs, an atheist, was one great example of what atheism is all about on this earth. He left this world a better place than he found it. Indeed, Steve Jobs was a great man. He had the courage to create beauty into this world where religion has only put horror. Indeed, to cover up the lies of religion is the business of cowards. The business of great men is to see them with inflexible clarity while thinking honestly, working nobly, and changing things around us sensibly, especially as a friend of science and technology. And in the degree in which we can all be great - this is the business of each one of us. Poch Suzara

The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus?

MATTHEW 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. MARK 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. LUKE 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 1THESSA 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the triumph of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Now could any of you college-educated Catholic bible scholars tell me which of these inspired authors of God is revealing the truth as to when exactly Jesus is coming? After more than 2,000 years of waiting - time has already elapsed! Poch Suzara

Jesus Omni-absent in the Beginning

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

What a declaration of original lies on top of biblical deceptions. Indeed, it is not true that God so loved the world, and that he gave his only begotten Son to save the world. Otherwise, if it were true, God and His son Jesus could have already straightened out first the needless mess with Adam and Eve deceived by Satan in the shape of the Talking Serpent in the Garden of Eden to begin with?

Indeed, to Satan we attribute every cruelty, crime and evil, but nowhere do we find a Satan more Satanic as God - the original creator in the Old Testament. Poch Suzara

King Midas, King Moron, Democracy

King Midas turned to gold EVERYTHING he touched. As a result, with nothing
but GOLD around him - he starved to death.

King Moron had nothing but FAITH in God for the people of his kingdom. As a result, King Moron transformed his kingdom into a cathedral - the tallest and grandest of monuments honoring nothing except human stupidity.

In the meantime, ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES - if our politicians in the government
were not corrupt, selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane - they are able, at least,
to easily get on their knees to pray to God together; but never, however, are they also able to act for our growth as a people and for our development as a nation all
together.

Oh yes, indeed, democracy in the Philippines has little to do with the power of
ideas and ideals. It has more to do with defending our silly beliefs and protecting our obsolete values down here especially for the sake of nourishing the power of the Almighty Divinity up there. Poch Suzara

Philippine Biggest Crocs

Published today Oct. 4, 2011 in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Letters to the Editor:

When will they catch biggest crocs

It is a miracle, isn't it? We could easily catch the biggest crocodile living poorly in our jungles; but we have yet to capture and put in jail the biggest crocodiles living luxuriously as government officials in our impoverished country. Poch Suzara

Sex Tours in the Philippines

We are all felt insulted by the US Ambassador Harry K. Thomas Jr for publicly saying
that "40% of foreign male tourists visit the Philippines just for sex."

This is, indeed, an ugly truth and the truth hurts. Well, if we Filipinos continue
hurting as a people, it is mainly because in the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia - the "truth" especially the "revealed truth" goes marching on!

I am willing to bet my last bottom dollar that if, Ambassador Harry K. Thomas had instead declared that "40 % of the foreign tourists visit the Philippines just to pray to Mary, mother of God, to pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our
death - we would all immediately start a mass movement to get US Ambassador Harry K. Thomas be canonized an American saint even before he hits the bucket. Poch Suzara

The Republic of Mediocrity

In the Republic of Mediocrity, the man of thought is one who is considered to be a failure, a loser, a lost soul, a nuisance, or a Talking Serpent. I am most proud to be known as one such a man of thought; especially as I do habitually enjoy provoking my thoughts and those of others. The mark of a poorly educated man is that he hates lively analysis. He loves only the monotony of deadly paralysis. Sadly, however, in the Republic of Mediocrity, fucking is always more active than thinking. The power of thought is seldom stimulating. Hardly inspiring. In fact, thinking is something frightening. Indeed, we must only get busy fucking; never mind thinking. God will punish any one to everlasting fire who would rather be doing lots of thinking! In the meantime, I said it before, I say it again: Let us, with all the allegiance we can muster to become: a citizen of the Republic of Scholarship. In this Republic, every citizen has a constitutional right to get himself as thoroughly lost as he pleases; especially via the spirit of inquiry. Poch Suzara

Human Life is Precious

"Every one of us is precious in the cosmic perspective. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another." Carl Sagan. Oh Carl, I have no problem with any one who disagree with me. It is those lovable scoundrels, thieves, swindlers, liars, cheaters, deceivers, believers, and sick politicians in government always in cahoots with sick theologians of the church that I wish all dead and buried. No, I would kill them myself; but I should be most happy to read about them in the Obituary. Poch Suzara
