We are all Born Ignorant, Not Religiously Sick

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.-- - - George Carlin

Religion, and nothing but religion has made the Filipino as a people famous throughout the world as the Sick Man of Asia.

Indeed, in the Philippines, we are all born ignorant, not religiously sick. We are made religiously sick via education in schools, colleges, and universities own and operated by the Catholic Church. - - -  Poch Suzara

Incurably Religious

Incurably religious is the best ways to describe the mental condition of millions

of Filipinos; specially as we Filipinos are the "educated" products of schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

I asked it before, I ask it again: what's wrong with us Filipinos in the Philippines? Specially 

as we are famous throughout the world as the Sick Man of Asia?

Is it not due to, if not because of, - the historical fact that we Filipinos are not the healthy masters, but the insane victims of sick religious values and sick religious beliefs - thanks to 

our sick system of education - keeping us Filipinos spiritually poor and aimless as a people 

and morally bankrupt and rudderless as a nation?

In the meantime, immortality is the sick condition of dead Filipinos in heaven up there who just cannot believe that they are already dead down here?

For my part, as I am an atheist, I do not fear death. I do not even fear living, so why should I fear dying? I say: FUCK DEATH. - - - Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter#

As a Senior Citizen and Near the End of my Life

As a senior citizen and near the end of my life I say: I thank God I am still an atheist. I also thank God that ever since I was got myself expelled out of La Salle high school,  I am still happy and proud enjoying not the freedom OF, but the freedom away FROM silly religion.

In the meantime, I could only repeat what Mark Twain - one of my favorite authors - wrote about death: "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."  Poch Suzara Google# Facebook# Twitter# Atheist#

The Truth

 Jesus says in John 8:32, "The truth shall set you free". The reverse is also true—error binds you. As an aside, the truth 
can also hurt people; but not as much as lies have not only ruined the lives of millions of people and the damage goes on for centuries. Look at the religious lies that have kept the Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and has kept the Philippines sick, insane,  backward, and corrupt as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century.  - Poch Suzara

Keep Away from little people who Belittle Your Atheism

"Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always
do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." 

                                                                                                           Mark Twain

For my part, I keep away from little people who belittle atheism. Specially those 
college educated men and women who tell me that I must never identify myself publicly 
that I am an atheist. Well,  as a high school expelled student, I am not only proud to admit publicly that  I am an atheist; I am even more proud to admit to anyone that I am the Father 
of Atheism in the Philippines.

 Many believers like to believe that atheism  is a form of neurotic rebellion or a mental
illness. The believers cannot get rid of atheism  by committing them to an insane asylum  
where they can be ignored. To label, however, atheism as a mental illness is not only childish
nonsense; it is also a laughable attempt to evade the question of veracity and falsity.
IS THEISM TRUE? WHAT REASONS ARE THERE FOR BELIEVING IN A GOD?
These are the important questions and these are the issues that the theist must address
himself if he has hopes to challenge the reality behind atheism. 

The believer who attempts to defeat atheism by degradation, indeed, by subordinating 
truth to emotionalism accomplishes nothing, aside from revealing his contempt for man's ability to think!

Our Sick Values and Sick Beliefs Under a Sick Religion

If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and ye, his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 - - - Jesus Christ

 

"I would like the Filipino to be Brilliant, Enlightened, Intelligent, and Progressive." - - - Jose Rizal, a heretic publicly executed at Luneta Dec. 30, 1896

 

"The death sentence is a necessary and efficacious means for the church to attain its ends when obstinate heretics disturb the  ecclesiastical order." - - - Pope Leo X111

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly that Christianity has  a vested interest in human misery. Christianity, perhaps more than any religion before or since, capitalized on human suffering; and it was enormously successful in insuring its own existence through the perpetuation of human suffering."

Indeed, "Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation."  - - - George H. Smith

You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races,

or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite deliberately
that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world. - - -Bertrand Russell

"If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane." - - - Robert Ingersoll

For my part, I said it before, I say it again: in this already 21st century, it is time for us Filipinos in the Philippines as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century to take a very serious look at our sick country dominated

not with love for one another down here, but only ruled with hate of each other for the sake of a divinity up there! - - - Poch Suzara

Religious Garbage

It is said that there are only two things certain

in life: death and taxes. But I'd like to add a third certainty:  garbage. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes, I want to talk about reducing garbage out of this world; especially religious garbage mostly based upon lies, deceptions, illusions, delusions, and confusions. - - - Poch Suzara
