The Noise All Around Us

I have long held the opinion that the amount of noise that anyone can bear undisturbed stands in inverse proportion to his mental capacity and therefore be regarded as a pretty fair measure of it.” - - - Arthur Schopenhauer "I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone, I never found the companionable as solitude." - - - Henry David Thoreau For my part, I have always experienced happiness alone in my room reading my books than feel the pain of having to listen to a lot of noisy conversation about a lot of sick nonsense. In fact, I felt the same way toward my sick teachers in school teaching me to listen to a lot of loud holy mystery, if not sacred and loud baloney!- - - Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter ##

The Christian Life

"The Christian life is a process in which we learn complete dependence on God." Phil Star, June 29, 2016 More than a 100 BILLION people already lived and died on this planet since God Knows when and despite their dependence on God they all eventually ended up dead whether they liked it or not. So the Christian life is a process that proves what? Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

A Scientist is a Truthful Person. A Theologist is a LIAR!

More on the Greatest of Filipino Freedom Fighter - Jose Rizal

"The youth is the hope of our future." “I would like the Filipinos to be Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive.” - Jose Rizal

 "If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and yea, his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." - Jesus Christ.

 For preaching the exact opposite of what Jesus Christ preached, Jose Rizal was arrested, incarcerated, and publicly executed by the power, glory and authority of the Catholic church at the Luneta in 1896.

 And to think that in this already 21st century, we Filipinos in the Philippines are still under the system of Catholic education as the Catholic church is the owner of more than 1,200 schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries operating tax-free in our poor and backward country. In the meantime, no Filipino school teacher, no college professor, no editor, columnist, radio or TV announcer, actor, actress, singer, lawyer, judge, theologian, congressman, senator, governor, mayor, and no Barangay Captain in the past or in the present has ever uttered these words in the Philippines. Only Jose Rizal said it: "I would like the Filipino to be Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive."

Well, out of the millions upon millions of Filipinos who have already lived and died in the Philippines since Jose Rizal was publicly executed by the followers of Jesus Christ - only one Filipino, Poch Suzara, ( a high school expelled student ) thus far, has had the guts to utter these words openly in public: "As a Filipino, I have greater love, respect, affection, and admiration for Jose Rizal than I have for Jesus Christ who was not even a Filipino. Jesus was a Jew born of Jewish parents in a Jewish land." And to think further, that Jesus and His apostles were never able to convert their own Jewish People to become Catholics as they are today in this already 21st century still a Jewish State!

The statue of the greatest Filipino ever, an intellectual giant - Jose Rizal is rarely found only here and only there in this only Catholic country in Asia. The symbol of Jesus crucified on a piece wood, however, is displayed HERE and THERE and EVERYWHERE in our sick and corrupt society.

 In this already 21st century, we Filipinos are still taught to believe that with faith in Jesus our faith will make us rich and through that faith we shall all be saved and prosperous not, however, in this life; but only later after death in the next life with God in the kingdom of heaven.

Today, I again say it to Jose Rizal wherever you are: with my open mind and open heart: Sir, you are the greatest Filipino the Philippines has ever produced. I love you. I respect you. I admire you. I miss you! --- Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

Thank God for the MAKA-demonio government OFFICIALS we now have in our Government. No More MAKA-DIOS!

For a great many years, we had a government of MAKA-DIOS and MAKA-JESUS government officials. During all this time our government had been sick, rotten, corrupt and faithfully inefficient. Today, thanks to recent developments, we now have in government as our government officials the exact opposite. They are all MAKA-DEMONIO. I have every hope that the MAKA-DEMONIO in government today will be more reliable, truthful, efficient, and sane. After all, in the bible, the devil was less of an evil character compared to the sick God who was, says Richard Dawkins in his book - THE GOD DELUSION: “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.” - - - Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter# RESPONSE Yonkers, New York 22 June 2016 Poch: You "thank GOD" for favoring Filipinos with a "MAKADEMONIO"--you referring of course to DER FUHRER RODRIGO DUTERTE? What the Philippines has had all of the past 60 years or so have been loyal, devoted "GOD-FEARING" Christians--who were the "servants" of this "God" of course. All of them pretty much combined to make their country "The sick man of Asia!" Now, finally, this "God" is trying a new tack: Yes, he has sent a "makademonio" in the person of RODRIGO DUTERTE. Perhaps he could do better than all of his predecessors combined! Why not? If he is true to his word--the word of Lucifer?--probably in his first year as the Der Fuhrer, he will kill 100,000 "corrupt" [by his own definition] Filipinos and dump their fetid carcasses into the Manila Bay "to fatten the sharks" there. One can only speculate how many "corrupt" JOURNALISTS he will kill, and hang their "corrupt" carcasses from the branches of acacia trees on Taft Avenue. And that goes for "drug pushers and drug lords" too! Even in Der Fuhrer's first year as the head of his "REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT" the Philippines could very well take on the smell of a modern Aegean stables. MAR PATALINJUG patalinjugmar@gmail.com

Religion: The greatest of evils

Religion is greatest source of hate, death, violence, and destruction that has ever shown itself on mankind. Almost all wars throughout the history of our species have ties to a particular religion or religions. While it is obvious that the worlds religions are nothing more then old myths, and silly superstitious tradition. Its negativity is much greater then just providing ignorance to reality, it is a way to justify horrible actions. There have been so many horrible actions in our history that have been caused by religion (I'm sure no one has a problem thinking of some). Violence from religion is an obvious trend, a trend that continues to this day, and will continue into the future. The only difference is now the fanatics are in a position of obtaining nuclear weapons. There has been a lot of discussion about this, and it is a very serious issue. Believing you have the creator of the universe on your side gives you a lot of confidence in thinking you are right. If enough nukes get launched, it could "launch" this planet into a nuclear winter. Regardless of what a person believes, all people need to realize that violence is never a solution, it only perpetuates more violence and self-destruction. I said it before, I say it again: The most idiotic, if not the most moronic statement we can openly or publicly declare is: "WE MUST RESPECT ALL RELIGIONS." This is pure religious garbage. To begin with, religions do not, cannot, and will not respect other religions, so why should any of us as sick faithfools respect religion? --- Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter# Atheists#

IF I RULED THIS WORLD AS I AM AN ATHEIST

The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference. -- Richard Dawkins Now listen to the lyrics of this sane and great and meaningful song: IF I RULED THE WORLD "If I ruled the world Every day would be the first day of spring Every heart would have a new song to sing And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring If I ruled the world Every man would be as free as a bird Every voice would be a voice to be heard Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred My world would be a beautiful place Where we would weave such wonderful dreams My world would wear a smile on its face Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams If I ruled the world Every man would say the world was his friend There'd be happiness that no man could end No my friend, not if I ruled the world Every head would be held up high There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world." For my part, as an atheist, If ruled the world, I will see to it that there will be no more suffering of any kind to disgrace the human race existing on this earth. Or to put it more BRIEFLY, as an atheist, no way will I ever imitate the style of a Christian God as the sick ruler of this world!- - - Poch Suzara, Atheist, Google# Facebook# Twitter# Atheists#

A Thought to Provoke Your Thoughts on the word - ATHEIST

There are all kinds of frightened people existing in our sick world. The most frightened are those who say that we must respect all religions. This is sick garbage. Why should we respect any religion when religions do not even respect other religions. Again, we are told that we must never admit, specially in public, that we are ATHEIST because the word ATHEIST shows disrespect of the sick religions existing in this sick and religious world. As with me, an ATHEIST, I say so openly and publicly: just like every child born is this world is an ATHEIST, I too was born in the same way. I too was born out of my mother's womb as an ATHEIST. And to believe that we must always be ashamed of that fact is not only the lowest form of ridiculosity, it is the highest form of ludicrosity! - Poch Suzara Facebook# Google# Twitter# Atheist#

Population Growth and the Development of the Commercial Enterprises of the Catholic Church

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly that Christianity has a vested interest in human misery... The spectacular success of Christianity has been a topic of heated debate among scholars, and its certainly true that definite historical factors influences that success... I suggest, however, that much of Christianity's success can be accounted for in another way: Christianity, perhaps more than any religion before or since, capitalized on human suffering; and it was enormously successful in insuring it own existence through the perpetuation of human suffering." - - - George H. Smith In the meantime, only in the Philippines: millions upon millions of our poor women still faithfully listen and follow what the sick Catholic bishops preach to them: That if they have lots of children, it could only mean that God loves them. Thus, as more and more babies are born in our poor and backward country, the development is better for the Catholic church; especially for its daily commercial enterprises such as "baptism." Also, eventually, such babies will soon be children enrolled as students in schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries own and operated by the Catholic church in the Philippines. Thus, family planning and birth control measures for our women is not only a sin; it is also immoral. They would considerably reduce the profitable business of Catholic church. At present, in this already 21st century, we produced in our poor and backward country 3 babies every minute or 180 babies every hour or 4,320 babies every day or 129,600 babies every month or 1.5 million babies every year. And to think that these poor babies are fathered by many jobless, if not homeless, - Filipinos; if not also fathered by many rich tourists. After all, IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES. And to think that many of these babies have no birth certificate. Their mothers are not married. They are mostly single mothers. But then again look at the results in the larger perspective: more poor children, poor mothers, and poor fathers exist like animals in the streets of our major cities. The filthy horrors that keep the Catholic church sustained, maintained, and perpetually established in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.--- Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter# Atheists#

Life After My Death

I am an atheist. I do not believe in the existence of God; neither do I believe in the existence of Satan. It is, in this way, that after my death, I do not care to go to heaven to be with God; neither do I care to go to hell to be with Satan; nor do I care to be in purgatory to be with the sinners and saints of God! To begin with, there is no such thing as life after death, and if there were, listen to Mark Twain: "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” I love and respect and admire Mark Twain. He is one of my favorite authors. He never promised to heavenly reward me if I like his writings; he never threatened me with eternal punishment if I do not like his writings. - Poch Suzara Facebook# Google# Twitter# Atheists#

"The Bible and the church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of woman's emancipation."--Elizabeth Cady Stanton My dear Elizabeth, I got news for you. The bible and the church have been and still are the greatest causes why we Filipinos have miserably failed to grow as a thinking people and why our country, the Philippines, has failed to develop with a high standard of living as a nation. As a matter of historical horror, millions of Filipinos today in this already 21st century are still praying daily to Jesus to return and save the Philippines. As if Jesus have ever fixed the troubles and problems of his own country that’s still a Jewish State today. Israel never got to be converted by Jesus into a Christian country.--- Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Google# Atheists#

The Death Penalty as ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Death Penalty as only in the Philippines: In order to protect the human rights of millions of filthy-poor Filipinos, what must first be protected are the rights of the filthy-rich criminals as officials of the State and Church always in cahoots together. In the meantime, the deadliest of crimes in the Philippines is the crime of silence. The criminals as officials in government all love to protect each other’s crimes hardly legally considered as the crime of Negligence. For my part, I said it before, I say it again: Far more important than the Death Penalty revitalized in the Philippines should be the death of schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries. - The greatest of evil institutions producing yearly not only of sick criminals to be in government, but also especially the top evil producers of sick and filthy-rich criminals generating our sick beliefs and sick values! In the meantime, think of this horror: due to the forgiveness of sin and crime by God, these horrors learned via the sick system of education continue to make the Catholic church the richest and the most powerful of commercial enterprises historically existing as the real owners of the Philippines since the 16th century. - - - Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Google#

We Filipinos are Sick as a People and Corrupt as a Nation

The endless supply of sick and corrupt politicians for our sick and corrupt government come mostly from a sick and corrupt system of education. Indeed, we are all born ignorant, not insane. We are insane by enrolling as students in grade school, high school, and college in the Philippines... Now college educated Filipinos in our forum today have not ceased belittling me because I intentionally got myself expelled out of La Salle high school some 65 years ago! And specially because ever since then I went on to educate myself. I enrolled as a lifetime student in the greatest of all universities - it is but a collection of books... I stopped wasting my time praying; I went on to daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly reading and more serious reading of great books written by the great thinkers of the world... I said it before, I say it again: our sick and corrupt system of education can be summarized briefly in this way: It is the historical institution of religious insanity always in cahoots with political stupidity as perpetually blessed by the holy trinity... Millions of you have been educated to believe that there are no atheist in foxholes. What you frightened religious morons should fear more is that there are no atheists in our sick and corrupt government!... In the meantime, think about it: Today, in this already 21st century, the sick and corrupt system of education continue to produce college educated men and women who, if they were fortunate enough find employment in foreign countries that enjoy honest and efficient government. No employment, however, are available for them in our own country that need economic growth and national development. ...

To think that God had forsaken his only begotten Son Jesus not only by getting him crucified on a cross, but also by getting him hanged on a tree.

There is only Evil in this World

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” -- Epicurus I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do these things. -- Isaiah 45:7 Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of the new reality that will replace it. --- Jeremy Rifkin For my part, I said it before, I say it again: there is no such thing as the struggle between GOOD and EVIL. There is only the struggle of EVIL versus EVIL; and, in the end EVIL always wins. We even think of it as the choice from among the LESSER EVILS. Thus, for the most part, thanks to our sick system of education; indeed, thanks to our sick beliefs and sick values, we live in a sick society where evil prevails.-- Poch Suzara Google# Twitter# Facebook# Atheist#

Bertrand Russell - The One and Only Teacher I have ever loved, respected, and worshipped

After I got myself expelled out of high school, and started to build my own library of books, Bertrand Russell got to be my university and still is as ever since out of school, I embarked on self-education adventure. Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872-1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist and social critic. He was best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy. Together with G.E. Moore, Russell is generally recognized as one of the main founders of modern analytic philosophy. Together with Kurt Gödel, he is regularly credited with being one of the most important logicians of the twentieth century. Over the course of a long career, Russell also made contributions to a broad range of subjects, including the history of ideas, ethics, political and educational theory, and religious studies. General readers have benefited from his many popular writings on a wide variety of topics. After a life marked by controversy--including dismissals from both Trinity College, Cambridge, and City College, New York--Russell was awarded the Order of Merit in 1949 and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. Noted also for his many spirited anti-nuclear protests and for his campaign against western involvement in the Vietnam War, Russell remained a prominent public figure until his death at the age of 97. - Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

A Great Post by Danding Gimenez and Carl Sagan

Here is Scientists Carl Sagan on Trees Powered by Sunlight “Human beings grew up in the forests; we have a natural affinity for them. How lovely a tree is, straining toward the sky. Its leaves harvest sunlight to photosynthesize, so trees compete by shadowing their neighbors. If you look closely, you can often see two trees pushing and shoving with languid grace. Trees are great and beautiful machines, powered by sunlight, taking in water from the ground and carbon dioxide from the air, converting these materials into food for their use and ours. The plant uses the carbohydrates it makes as an energy source to go about its planty business. And we animals, who are ultimately parasites on the plants, steal the carbohydrates so we can go about our business. In eating the plants we combine the carbohydrates with oxygen dissolved in our blood because of our penchant for breathing air, and so extract the energy that makes us go. In the process, we exhale carbon dioxide, which the plants then recycle to make more carbohydrates. What a marvelous cooperative arrangement - plants and animals each inhaling the other’s exhalations, a kind of planet-wide mutual mouth-to-stoma resuscitation, the entire elegant cycle powered by a star 150 million kilometers away.”

Here is Danding Gimenez on Trees Nourished by Worms There could hardly be trees or plants without the lowly worm. They help increase the amount of air and water needed by trees and plants. They break down organic matter into forms that trees and plants need for nutrition. Every square foot of soil has at least 10 to 20 worms. Half a million in an acre. They help turn the soil by bringing organic matter from the top and mixing with the soil below. They create tons of fertilizer and millions of passageways for air and soil equal to a 2,000 feet long 6-in pipe per acre. Worms are the solder that fuse lifeless soil with living plants. With this preamble I will discuss in clear metaphors how the ground below affects our lives. This is really a short essay on love. Love is a prime cause. It is the primary human creative force. A musician loves his music so much that he and his music become one. They are fused into one below the ground where their roots become so intertwined that it becomes impossible to separate one from the other. A pianist in performance does not show the thousands of practice hours that preceded the performance. A loving couple are still two above ground but their roots below the surface have fused. An artist so loves his art that he is indistinguishable from it. A scientist and his science are fused. Einstein and Relativity are one being. Not two. A craftsman and his craft become one. Poch and atheism are fused into one by their underground roots. One cannot think of Poch without also thinking of atheism. This fusion is the result of love. Love for a person or an idea or a principle. Those who see life this way understand that life and love are one and the same. They may look different above ground. But underneath, they are the same.“ My dear Danding Gimenez, what a great and truthful post. A great many thanks. This month I will be 80 years old and I deeply regret that I have had but a short, brief, fleeting life in my duty and responsibility to spread more beauty and more sanity behind atheism in our spiritually poor, morally bankrupt, God-forsaken country.

We Can Make the World Better

Everyone can do something to make the world better – we can let Christ shine through us. --- Phil Star March 29, 2016 Oh yes, we can do something to make better our world made sick and corrupt by our faith in religion. It has made us have more faith in our sick religious beliefs and corrupt values. In the meantime, if there were anything tragic that the Philippines should be saved from - it could only be the religion of Jesus - Christianity. It's the historical horror that keeps Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and morally bankrupt as a nation. --- Poch Suzara Google# Twitter# Facebook#

Most Men Love Impregnating. They Hate Thinking.

Most men never rise above viewing things as objects of their desires - hence their selfishness or worst, - their thoughtlessness; but to see and to treat things purely as objects of understanding is to rise to the joys of mental freedom. Thus most men hate thinking; they love impregnating. Happily, most men are good; unhappily, however, only good at praying to God especially as God is always in the business of forgiving sins and crimes in order to benefit God's priesthood industry that's always in need of money!..

The Evolution of the Mind Versus Sick Revelation in the Bible

"The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life." --- Muhammad Ali At home and in school, the man who has been taught WHAT to believe, and not HOW to think is not a man, but a sick follower of sick values and sick beliefs! In the meantime, isn't it absurd to believe that God would only choose to save followers for heaven the faithful believers whose highest and only ambition is to be a sick and a frightened follower for the rest of eternity? For my part, I refuse to believe as truth such religious garbage; especially as they are usually referred to as dogma, pigma, and hogma. --- Poch Suzara Google# Twitter# Facebook#

The Bible Is Not Holy. It is Sickly - a Mockery of Humanity

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face. - Ronald Reagan It is so glaringly obvious that Ronald Reagan never seriously read the bible from cover to cover. Otherwise, he never would have uttered such a silly statement like the bible has all the answers for all of the problems men face. Look at us Filipinos today in this already 21st century. Since the 16th century, We are still sick as the Sick Man of Asia trying to figure out which truth has been revealed in the bible! In the meantime, the Bible writers were sick historians, let alone sick messengers of sick messages from a sick God. Other Problems with the Bible: There are other reasons why the Bible should not be considered the word of God. They include, but are not limited to: the fact that we don't know who wrote most of it; the fact that much of it was written many years - and in some cases many centuries – after the events it purports to describe; its obscene passages; and its promises of eternal rewards for the ignorant and credulous and everlasting punishment for skeptics and investigators. Finally, the harm that the Bible causes in people's personal lives should be mentioned as a reason for rejecting the book. It's not uncommon to see media reports about Bible believers committing bizarre, injurious, and sometimes deadly acts. Some people use Bible verses to justify beating children, withholding medical treatment, handling snakes, drinking poison, chopping off body parts, plucking out eyes, driving out demons, withdrawing from the affairs of this world, renouncing the pleasures of life, and expecting the world to end. If the Bible were not viewed as God's word, these acts would occur much less often. Many compelling and morally sound reasons support the Humanist position that the Bible is not divinely inspired. Instead of being inerrant, the Bible has far more errors and immoral teachings than most other books. By treating this mistake-ridden book as the word of God, humanity has been led down many paths of error and misery throughout history. In too many ways, the Bible continues to produce such results. But in some cases, the errors caused by the Bible have been corrected and the harms have been stopped. This happened when a scientific approach was applied to problems. Science involves relying on reason, observation, experience, and compassion - rather than blindly accepting religious or secular dogma. We atheists reject the views of those who say the Bible has infallible answers to today’s problems. As Humanists know, science has proved to be a much better source for answers. -Research by: Poch Suzara

In this World of Sin and Sorrow

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican. - H.L. Mencken --- In our sick society of sin, insanity, filth, poverty, criminality, and corruption there is always something to be grateful for; as with me, I am most proud that I got expelled out of the sick system education loved, respected, and admired by millions of college educated Filipinos in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. - Poch Suzara Google# Twitter# Facebook#

Saints of God who Never Got to be Friends of Poch Suzara in his Home Library

Top Ten Most Influential Saints of God Who never but never made it as friends of POCH SUZARA in his home library The votes are in and here are the saints readers nominated for being the most influential of their time—the results contained quite a few surprises. Other than St. Bernard and John Paul II, discussed in separate previous posts here and here, they are: 1. The Apostle Paul: The author of most of the New Testament and the last of the apostles actually received the most votes from readers. Writes Bill Dingas, a retired engineer and catechist from Livingston, Texas: “Paul is the greatest evangelist ever—doing the impossible by our standards of bringing the good news to the gentiles. Paul with just a few friends, converted most of what is Turkey today (sadly taken over by Islam), making several trips from Israel the Asia Minor, Rome, Greece just to name a few stops. A considerable part of our New Testament comes from Paul. … Who knows (God does) where we would be today without his efforts!” Here’s how another reader put it: “My vote is for St. Paul of Tarsus because he disseminated belief in Jesus throughout the Mediterranean and to the Gentiles, laying the foundation of Christianity and massive change throughout the civilized world in his lifetime.” 2. Mother Teresa: As influential as St. Bernard was, one reader writers that: “Mother Theresa’s influence is wider, also through her humble humanity, because she lived in an age of modern media, and millions could see her work and feel her influence.” Here’s what another reader had to say: “Despite not being formally declared a saint by the Church, Mother Theresa is easily the most influential saint of her time. She was the most influential woman in the world during her lifetime. World leaders listened to her. When she asked to see world leaders, including presidents and prime ministers, she was given immediate access. For example, during the 1981 famine in Ethiopia she asked President Reagan for help. He responded by promising to …do everything possible to help and rushed in with food and medicine. Being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 is another obvious example of her influence in the world.” In fact, in terms of sheer number of votes it’s a tie with John Paul II. I agree, at least in the twentieth century, she and John Paul II stand apart. 3. St. Augustine: After John Paul II and the Apostle Paul, St. Augustine topped reader lists. Here’s Bill Dingas again: “If you have read and studied Saint Augustine you would read a phenomenal path which only could have been guided by God (as Saint Paul was). … Augustine’s conversion is a model for anyone seeking God—and also shows the importance of prayer. Augustine was so intelligent that much of our faith formation comes from his influence—using his skills of philosophy and scriptures. His book City of God is a masterpiece. …As with Paul his contribution to the deposit of faith is so profound I also wonder where we would be without him.” Indeed, in terms of his sheer intellectual contributions to the life of the Church, Augustine would not meet his peer until the time of St. Thomas Aquinas. And, his role in shepherding Christianity from the Roman imperial era to the start of the Middle Ages certainly earns him the distinction of one of the most influential saints of his time. 4. St. Patrick: It’s actually a tie with Augustine. “He not only converted the good part of an entire people/culture, but those people returned the favor, strengthening Christianity in a beleaguered Europe,” one reader noted in the comments section. 5. St. Joseph: One reader calls St. Joseph the “most impressive saint.” She sums it up this way: “Simply this man had to be tops at the time of Jesus. The man chosen to play, pray, teach, and protect the son of God. Trusted companion of Our Blessed Lady. The human that with God’s guidance defeated a king, out-smarted an army.” The reader went on to share heartfelt story about how St. Joseph has helped her through some major personal struggles. “In my life, St. Joseph, upon request delivered my terrific handsome smart loving husband of 28 years. The father of our 10 children. When my husband was killed in a mill accident I knew I could not handle the 7 children left at home by myself and ask St Joseph’s help again. It took me 5 years to get a workmen’s comp. settlement. I fed kids on a credit card. And in the last 13 years 4 kids have graduated from college. And three more are going.” (Her name is being withheld to protect her privacy.) 6. St. Jerome: As one reader pointed out, translating the Bible into the Vulgate—the common or everyday language of the people in his time—is no small accomplishment, and certainly earns St. Jerome a spot in the top ten. Plus, the reader added, the next most significant event in biblical publishing was not for roughly another thousand years, when the Gutenberg printing press was invented. 7. St. Peter: It should go without saying that the first pope and the leader of the early Christian community ranks among the top ten most influential saints of his time. Peter took command of the Church from the get-go, setting forth the procedures for finding a replacement apostle for Judas, presiding over Pentecost, preaching to the Jews, and ultimately founding the Church in Rome—all indispensable steps in the establishment of the Church immediately after the time of Jesus. 8. John the Baptist: Writes one priest: “He was indispensable to open the way for Jesus Christ. He prepared Christ’s first disciples and pointed Him out to them. Jesus Christ insisted on being baptized by him. Saint John the Baptist was even more influential than he intended: despite his disclaimer some of his followers formed a stubborn group that, for some years after his death, continued his cult and refused to go over to Christ.” 9. St. Athanasius: “He defied three emperors and numerous heretical bishops to preserve orthodox Christology for all time,” one reader opined in the comments section. “To top it off, his Life of Anthony popularized monasticism and facilitated the spread of the monastic way of life throughout the Christian world. In his lifetime he was a towering figure.” I’ll add one other monumental feat to this list: Athanasius developed the first New Testament canon. No one (at least successfully) has disputed his listing in the roughly 1,500 years since. 10. St. Angel Arando of San Beda College and St. AAA Eddie Calderon of the University of the Philippines: It’s hard to pick between these two saints — so equal in their special relationship with the Passion for human stupidity and their influence in this forum for ecclesiastatical insanity.

The First Amendment Should Make More Sense if - - -

First Amendment: addresses the rights of freedom of religion (prohibiting Congressional establishment of a religion over another religion through Law and protecting the right to free exercise of religion), freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of petition. Indeed, the First Amendment should make more sense if it addresses not the freedom OF religion, but the freedom FROM religion. No one, but no one has the right to free exercise of mediocrity at its best; or, social, religious, and political insanity - at its worst. As a matter of historical fact, the freedom of religion; especially Christianity as taught in our schools, colleges, and universities has made us Filipinos famous as the Sick Man of Asia.
