Silly Free Will

If you believe you have the free will to do evil, forget it. God already beat you to it. In the bible, God openly admitted: "I form the light and create darkness: I make peace and create evil; I the Lord do these things." Isaiah 45:7

Since God is here and is there and is everywhere and God created your future and determined your destiny - your free will becomes a mindless, if not a heartless, not to mention a worthless - void.

In the meantime, there is nothing sacred in this world. Not even free will, especially when free will is not real or useful or it dies even before it has a chance to really be free. Indeed, many of us believe we have free will because we are able to desire this or desire that. But we are not free to know why we are ever so ignorant as to where exactly our desires come from.

The holy Bible Baloney

Bible contents are recycled myths. It is not only essential that you throw your bible out the window. It is even more crucial that you cease to believe in the existence of supernatural beings. Indeed, they do not exist. If, however, they do exist – they are not worth believing. After all, supernatural beings have never directly introduced themselves to any one of us. We don’t even know if such beings were colorful, bright, radiant, shinning, or visibly luminous. We do know, however, based on Genesis, that if God existed during those ancient times, he was a black supernatural Being existing in pitch darkness. He had to create the sun to light up the gloomy darkness around Him, didn’t He? In the meantime, the inspired authors of God did not know that the world is round; but they knew that Joshua commanded the sun to stop. They believed that it is the sun that's moving around the earth. Nowadays, for the sake of the American economy - only the US Marines believe, protect, and defend the truths revealed in holy bible baloney. Poch Suzara

Social Progress and Improvements

Only upon the rejection of lies and deceptions, on the one hand; and, on the other hand, the elimination of falsehoods and delusions - can society progress and improve; especially with illumination via the power of education.

A good society is not enough. The endless growth and development of society is better. What, however, we must all do, however, is to create a society that is the best for each and every one of us. For all of its members, it is a never-ending daily duty and a yearly responsibility.

Unfortunately, in the Philippines, what we love more is not a healthy, but a sick society; especially for the sake of deviltry in heaven; and, on earth for the sake of a divinity - all rolled into one silly bundle known as Christianity. Poch Suzara

Only in the Philippines

Convicting and sentencing rich Pinoy criminals to jail is big financial arrangement in the halls of justice. Pardoning and Releasing the same rich Pinoy criminals out of jail is even a bigger financial business in the halls outside justice. Indeed, among the richest of men in the Philippines today are referred to "Attorney," and also, indeed, those addressed to as "your honor." Poch Suzara

Jesus

Jesus was born of a Jewish mother in a Jewish town. Mary, His Mother was never a Catholic. During birth, Jesus was visited by 3 non-Catholic kings. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist who was a Baptist, not a Catholic. In fact, Jesus was never raised nor educated as a Catholic. His 12 apostles were not Catholic. Indeed, the rock upon which the church was built was not a Catholic rock. The Catholic church was purely built upon sacred lies and other holy deceptions for the sake of what eventually got to be known as the biggest, largest, richest, and most powerful bank in the world today - the Vatican Bank. Poch Suzara

What If

What if all the people you hate on this earth will be rewarded with justice to enjoy eternal salvation in heaven under the management of deviltry? What if, after my own death, I find myself in heaven in the company of my former teachers and professors and father confessor? No way, I say. I'd rather kill myself. Over my dead body should I want to mingle in heaven with such mindless bullies and heartless tuti-frutie-patuties. Well, What if all the people you love on this earth will be punished without justice to suffer eternal damnation in hell under the management of Divinity? What then? Poch Suzara

The Mess in our World

In this world of politics and religion, sin and crime, poverty and misery, perversity and stupidity, religion against other religions - happily, there is always something still to be grateful for. As for me, I am most grateful that I managed, somehow, with so much pain and confusion then to seriously excommunicate myself permanently out of the Catholic church to become an atheist. Poch Suzara

I am not a Catholic

I am a not a Catholic. I am a Filipino. As such I have the greatest love, respect, and admiration for our own Jose Rizal more than I do have; in fact, I do not have - any kind of love, affection, or admiration for that Jewish fellow born in a Jewish land some 2,000 years ago. His name was Jesus, the so-called Son of a Jewish God who was not even raised and educated as a Catholic in the Philippines. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

The Poor Pinoys

The vast majority of Pinoys are, indeed,a hard working people. That is, of course, if hard working means exactly the same thing as hard praying. Indeed, we Pinoys attach more reliability to praying than we appreciate the miracles of hard thinking while hard working.

After all, in our schools, colleges, and universities - we were taught to believe and to never lose faith with the Word of God written in the holy bible such as: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth' and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Sadly, however, as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, the vast majority of poor Pinoys are still waiting and waiting for the results of their hard prayers said daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly!

In the meantime, we consume without producing. We are spending without earning. We are praying without working. What a waste of precious time as a people. What a waste of precious energy as a nation. We poor Pinoys are still stuck with our silly prayers behind a silly theology; when we should already be growing as a people with science and developing as a nation with technology. Poch Suzara

Sins of the Priests

The more sins you commit and confess, the more the church profits by the steps you have to take to mitigate your punishment in Purgatory before going, eventually, to heaven. The system is convenient both for the priests and for the sinners. It is, however, silly to pretend that such a system inspires growth as a people and enhances development as a nation. In fact, what it does promote is the spiritually poor Filipino getting more and more famous as the Sick Man of Asia. Poch Suzara

Our Corrupt System of Education

In the Philippines, for the most part - schools, colleges, and universities are places where cheap souls are canned for eternal salvation in heaven. While precious minds are damned for eternal damnation in hell. Poch Suzara

We, the Poor Pinoys

The vast majority of Pinoys are, indeed, a hard working people. That is, of course, if hard working means exactly the same thing as hard praying. Indeed, we Pinoys attach more reliability by praying than we appreciate the values of working.

After all, in our schools, colleges, and universities - we were taught to believe, indeed, never lose faith in the Word of God written in the holy bible like: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth' and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Sadly, however, as the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century, the vast majority of poor Pinoys are still waiting and waiting for the results of their hard prayers said hourly, daily, nightly, weekly, monthly, and yearly!

In the meantime, we consume without producing. We are spending without earning. We are praying without working. Instead of struggling creatively against foreigners, we would rather compete against each other to achieve more of the same old nothing.

What a waste of precious time as a people. What a waste of precious energy as a nation. We Pinoys are still stuck with silly prayers behind a silly theology. At this point in time of Philippine history - we should have already grown as a people with science and should have already developed as a nation with technology. Poch Suzara

Prayers of Medical Doctors

In order to enjoy success, wealth, power, and glory in this life - medical doctors must pray daily to ask God to never, ever, make health infectious; but only to please always keep diseases contagious. Such is the sick career of medical doctors on earth for the greater glory of a sick God in heaven. For my part, I have all the love and respect and admiration for doctors who are like me - an atheist. Poch Suzara

God Bless You Malarkey

I have met many people, both rich and poor in the Philippines and in foreign countries. But never, have I ever met a person who is exempted from troubles or spared of problems because he or she has been truly blessed by a loving, kind, and a merciful God. "God Bless You" is a message not only based upon a lot of useless mystery; it is also about mindless spirituality, if not about a lot of sacred baloney, not to mention a lot of sacred malarkey. No one, but no one has ever been blessed by God. Though I have a sneaky suspicion that if there is any one that God has always blessed - it is the devil - his partner in crime against humanity.

Mark Zuckerberg - Man of the Year 2010

Mark Zuckerberg - Founder of Facebook - was born in White Plains, New York to Karen, a psychiatrist, and Edward, a dentist. Mark and three sisters, Randi, Donna, and Arielle, were brought up in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Zuckerberg was raised Jewish, including having his bar mitzvah when he turned 13, although he has since described himself as an atheist. Cheers to the Atheist movement throughout the world. It is about time we destroy the greatest twister of minds and distorter of hearts - stupid religion. The evil should already be dead and buried forever. Indeed, religion encourages stupidity and an insufficient sense of reality for the glory of a divinity in hell cahoots with deviltry in heaven. Poch Suzara

Jesus and His last Words

Jesus' last words on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" hardly seem like the words of a Savior of mankind. It doesn't take a high school expelled student like me to figure there is something mysteriously wrong here. Indeed, how could and why should a God forsake Himself? Poch Suzara

Good without religion

I was good as a child. I had no faith in any religion. In fact, when I came out of my mom's womb - I was an atheist. Just like every one else is an atheist born into this world... It was only at the age of reason when I was told that God created me in his own image and likeness and that I was born with Original Sin. That any sin or crime I commit can be forgiven by God via confession to a priest. Except of course the sin of not believing in the Holy Spirit. That, for as long I have faith in God, my soul will be saved under eternal salvation; otherwise, if I continue to follow the ways of the devil as a sinner - I will be punished forever and ever under eternal damnation. Indeed, I am back to being good, especially good for something, and no longer good for nothing when I reverted back to my original atheism... Can you imagine how mentally confused, emotionally twisted, and psychologically distorted I was, as a growing boy, indoctrinated to be frightened of all those sick characters revealed in the holy bible as the truth?

Kill Kill and Kill

Kill one man and you are a murderer. Kill millions and you are a conqueror. Kill all and you are a God.

For my part, I have neither the taste nor the gumption to kill any one. After all, I love humanity even as I abhor both silly divinity and stupid deviltry. Indeed, happily, proudly, and fearlessly, - I am an ATHEIST, not destructively, but creatively. Poch

The Death of Jesus

Jesus, the Son of a Jewish God, was born in a Jewish town. He died on a Jewish cross for your Catholic sins. Should you not therefore celebrate the death of Jesus by committing more Catholic sins? Now could any of you really believe in Jesus, a Jew, crucified on a Jewish cross by fellow-Jews, dying and then resurrecting for the sins of the Catholics? As for me, for the sake of sanity, I put aside incredulity. I utterly refuse to attach credibility to this childish, indeed, fantastic bible silly story written and inspired by a silly divinity.

China and the Philippines

Dec. 12, 2010
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Manila

Letter to the Editors

Dear Editors:

China is a great nation. She has a government. Manage effectively by its own government officials. Especially how to deal, fearlessly, with foreign power. Such as the Catholic Church and its bishops meddling into Chinese State affairs.

In the Philippines, we hardly have a government of, by, and for the people. What we have, however, are lots of government officials working to enrich themselves. Most of them products of Catholic education via schools, colleges, and Universities established in the Philippines - the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century.

Consider the way our so-called Public Servants as government officials begin, if at all, their work in the office. They begin with daily prayers to God to give us this day our daily bread, and to lead us not into temptation! Is it any wonder that we Filipinos continue to be losers as a people? But our public servants also pray daily to Mary, Mother of God - to pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen. It is any wonder that the Philippines continue to be a failure as a nation?

I said it before, I say it again: In this already 21st century, it is time for us Filipinos to radically re-evaluate our system of education. Otherwise, as this century ends 90 years from now - we Filipinos will continue to be not the rich masters, but only the poor victims of childish politics in cahoots with infantile religious values.

Free Will not that Free

We have the free will to choose our spouses in marriage; but we have no free will to choose our mother and father, brothers and sisters. Free Will is not that free.

The Holy Bible is not Holy

There are more than 57 different versions of the bible sold in bookstores today: - Duane, Catholic, King James, Good news, New Standard, New International, New American bible, etc, etc. As an aside, the bible has been revised, renewed, re-edited, mutilated, distorted, twisted, re-interpreted, re-issued,a and tampered with. Well, despite such changes, the bible continues to be a compilation of trashy, incoherent, confabulated, incredible tales, poems, sagas, and pieces of dramas. It is full of hatred, revenge, murder, bloodshed, greed, falsehoods, lies, deception, illusion, confusion, delusion, sado-masochism, absurdities, inconsistencies, atrocities, contradictions, lust, stupidities, and obscenities. Well, here is something that has not changed during these past thousands of years. Such beauties and consistencies have not been formulated by any inspired authors. It has been and still the perfect model of truth. It is precise, exact and certain, and free from all temporal dross - it is known as THE MULTIPLICATION TABLE. I ask: have any of you ever heard of different conflicting version of the MULTIPLICATION TABLE sold in bookstores today??? Nay, have you people ever heard of a nation declaring war on other nations because they did not believe or did not have faith in the truth that 2 plus 2 equals 4??? I rest my case - the bible is not only repulsive, furtive, constrictive, and seductive; it has also been historically destructive! I said it before, I say it again: look deep at the Philippines. The only Christian country in Asia under holy bible guidance as revealed truth since the 16th century. The vast majority of Filipinos have never been taught how to be intelligent MASTERS of religion, but only how to be the stupid VICTIMS of organized superstition. Poch Suzara

God Bless You Messages

I always get this message: "God Bless you." I ask - have you, my dear reader, have you ever met any one who has been really blessed by God in this world? I am already an old man. Thus far, all the men, women, and children I have met around the world I noticed all have been blessed by God. But in fact, all of them are afflicted with some kind of trouble, if not suffering from some kind of problem that each and every one of us - suffer from! Again, I ask: What if there is really a God existing out there - how relevant is that God to human happiness or to human joys, or indeed, to human affairs? Indeed, "God Bless You" message does not mean a damn thing. Whether you are rich or poor. Tall or short. fat or thin. Black or white. Asian or American or African or European - you will always be a victim of some kind of trouble in this sick world specially as God has blessed you. Poch Suzara

OK, I Want to Serve God

I want to serve God. Now where do I go to start serving God? Do I go here? Do I go there? Do I go everywhere as I am told that God is everywhere?

Isn't it possible that by the time I begin to serve God here, or serve God there, or serve God everywhere I will already be so sick and tired
and insane just to be able to find first his exact whereabouts??

Now we are told that God gifted all of us with a free will. That's fine and dandy. Indeed, we have the free will to choose our friends; but where is our free will to
choose our family?

Please don't me wrong. I am happy and proud of my mother, father, grandparents, and sisters and son and daughter and wife, and cousins, uncles, and aunties. As a matter of fact, I love my family. However, I have neither love nor affection for a silly mystery otherwise more known as divinity. Poch Suzara

Filipino Endless Suffering

Millions upon million of devout and faithful believers have always offered their endless suffering on this earth in the Philippines to God in heaven.

Genesis 1:28-31

My dear reader please read carefully and critically Genesis 2:28 -31

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

In Gen. 1:28 God instructs man to do 5 things: Have Dominion, be Fruitful, Multiply, Replenish, and Subdue!

Dominion: He has given man the power to rule on earth,which mean we should rule our circumstances and not let them rule us.

Be Fruitful: be productive! Produce desired results! Our lives should make a difference in the earth.

Multiply: Produce after our own kind. To bring increase! To usher in the next generation. To spread good in the earth.

Replenish: to fill or refill, to provide whatever is lacking. You have the answer to somebody else problems.

Subdue: To conquer! To walk in victory in every area of your life!

What, however, God and His inspired silly authors ignored to mention in Genesis is the existence germs, viruses, and bacteria. Such little monsters, trillions of them, living inside the body of every living thing, especially in the human body have the real destructive power and the real deadly dominion over all living things.

We are all born Equal

"Virtually all religions rely upon early childhood indoctrination as the prime infection strategy." Darrel Ray. . . Indeed, We are all born with no religion. That is a truth no one can deny. After all, we are all born sane equally. We are all born as atheists. No child is born having faith in any religion. . . Sadly, however, due to circumstances beyond the control of our free will, we do not grow up as equally sane. We are raised and educated to be insane Christians, or insane Muslims, or insane Jews - all hating one another while making a mockery of the truth that as innocent babies coming out of mother's womb - we were all equally sane as unbelievers of stupid faith. . . Indeed, I dearly love and admire all babies; except when they grow up as mindless men and thoughtless women having silly faith in a lot of religious nonsense. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Dear Blind Religious Fools

Dear Boys and Girls, May I request to please seriously consider and indeed appreciate God's mysterious ways! God has never been disappointed with me because I never went against his divine plan to make me an atheist? If God was being evil about this, why blame me? Why not blame God or his cohort - the devil? Perhaps, you are miserably disappointed with the devil who obviously was quite a success in convincing God to grant me the free will to be an atheist? Nevertheless, thanks to God's power, God made me an atheist.

This is timidity to promote nothing but social insanity for the sake of a silly divinity.

Listen to Bertrand Russell: "Fear generates impulses of cruelty, and therefore promotes such superstitious beliefs as seem to justify cruelty. Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of great fear...

We atheists know and accept that a different world cannot be built by people who are indifferent. That is why, we atheists are trying to make a difference. The purpose of life is not only to be happy, but also to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate, to stand for something; not to kneel down to nothing. We, humans must make the difference.

Purpose to Life

Indeed, fear and guilt must give way to joy and liberty. Ignorance must bow before knowledge. Superstition must retreat before reason. We must realize that civilization of the world belongs to man and that we are part owners. We must insist on keeping our shares safe for those who will follow us.

With love in our hearts, let us stand on our own feet, accept responsibility for our own actions, and solve our own problems without needlessly confusing the issues with meaningless words, and primitive, destructive, doctrines.

Why We Filipinos are poor

To me, we Filipinos have always been poor and will continue to remain poor simply because of our poor system of education.

In our schools, colleges, and universities - we Filipinos are still taught how to have faith in our poor upbringing, poor nutrition, poor values, poor beliefs, poor ideas, poor ideals, poor sense for social sanity, poor sense of national identity, and poor spirit towards life in this world. Our world. The only world we know. Poch Suzara

Killing

Kill one man, you are a murderer. Kill millions, you are a conqueror. Kill all, you are a God.

The Fear of Death

Atheist Mark Twain rationally dismissed the fear of death. He clearly wrote: “I do not fear death. I have been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

For my part, as an atheist myself, let me put it in this way: for billions of years before I was born, I was existing as a nothing. Now why should it bother me to realize that after I am dead, I will again be existing as a nothing?

Life after death? I say – fuck that shit - dead as it is! Poch

What a God

It is incredible how God is so cold-blooded in perfection, so lost for more admiration, so hungry for more glorification, and so childish for more veneration, not to mention so sick for more adoration.

In the meantime, under such destruction, God is nowhere to be found each time we need him even for a little restoration, nay, a little earthly salvation.

Reality

No matter who or what or where we are, male or female, poor or rich, married or single, atheistic, Asiatic, or just plain pathetic, bucolic, or even jesuitic as a catholic – each and everyone one of us, whether we like it or not, are the victims of mockery as generated by reality. Consider:

Each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it.

Life terrestrially everywhere is all about such reality – birth, growth, death, and decay. It's all so mindless, directionless, not to mention utterly meaningless. Purposeless.

Short and brief and fleeting as life is, I would rather look into the Greek spirit of the ancient world: To find life beautiful and delightful to live in was the mark of a Greek spirit.

In the meantime, enlightenment is not something to achieve. It is something to experience. Poch Suzara

Poverty, Stupidity, Insanity as the Holy Trinity

Satan took Jesus to a mountaintop and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory in them, saying: “All these things I will give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me.” Matt. 4:8-9. . . Was Jesus such a mediocre fellow, a simpleton, gullible enough not to have questioned Satan? When and how did Satan acquire the legal rights and the Torren Titles registered to those kingdoms of the world?. . . In the meantime, think how well Jesus could have served as the king of kings. As the emperor of the world. Think of the brilliant and loving things he could have made happen with such power, could have ruled with such great authority. He could have created a social system to remedy poverty. Done much to equalize wealth. Established universal education. Instituted civil liberties. Brought peace among warring nations. He could done all this and, through such service, established global peace, tranquility, and sanity. He could have gone down in world history as not only the most powerful, but also the most wise, the most just, the most kind, and the most humane king that ever graced the human race. . . But no. Jesus, instead, declared: “Love not this world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” John 2:15. . . Thus, poverty and stupidity and insanity are one and the same holy trinity otherwise more known as Christianity; especially in the Philippines – the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century.

Life With God in the Philippines

Let’s seriously look at the Philippines - the only Christian country in Asia. In this already 21st, our country remains poor spiritually, bankrupt morally, infantile politically, insane socially, inefficient scientifically, and directionless nationally. In our schools, colleges, and universities, we are all taught to have faith in God who so “loved the world (the Philippines) that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. In the Christian religion, however, is a strong message that rewards poverty, sickness, thoughtlessness, or anything that would put one in an inferior status. By the same token, self-esteem, self-reliance, competence, or anything that would put one in a superior status is belittled. God loves the humble, the meek, the inferior; but He is jealous of the self-sufficient. We Filipinos must never be self-sufficient lest we offend God. We must always play the role of the inferior and in turn, for living a submissive, mindless, frightened life is the promise that if we were good, especially good for nothing, we shall be rewarded later by God in heaven. Since the 16th century, we have faithfully believed in Jesus, the Son of God, who preached: “Love not this world, ( the Philippines), neither the things that are in the world. If any man (Filipino) love the world, the love of the Father is not with him.” John 2:15 Christianity has had every opportunity to straighten out the mess in the Philippines, and yet, in this already 21st century, our country is only getting into a deeper mess - socially, politically, and economically. We seek drama and excitement. When we do not get satisfaction on some level, we create for ourselves the drama of destruction. We are a nation of frightened believers. We have yet to seriously grasp the full impact of what it means to grow as a people and to mature as a nation. Corruption, hypocrisy, and indifference to truth are our national defects. It is incredible how so old a religion as Christianity should devote its influence to keeping the Philippines with no standard of honesty; only a standard for corruption. We solve our corruption problem with prayer only to find ourselves even more corrupt with more problems. Meanwhile, we are told again and again that God’s answers are wiser than our prayers. In China, they have Chinese Gods. In India, they have Indian Gods. In Japan, they have Japanese Gods. In Malaysia, they have Malaysian Gods. In Indonesia, they have Indonesian Gods. But in the Philippines, however, we have no Filipino Gods. We have, instead, a Jewish God. As if we Filipinos have anything to do whatsoever with the God of the Jewish people in Israel – a foreign land. In the meantime, today, if you try to give a bible to a Jew in Israel you can be arrested. Even an act of kindness by a Christian toward a Jew, such as giving a gift of food, can be interpreted as trying to convert the Jew to Christianity and can bring a 5 year prison sentence. Now let’s take a closer look at Christianity in the Philippines. Let’s see where it has taken us as the only Christian country in Asia. To those capable of thought, it is so obvious that Christianity strives on guilt. Guilt, not love, is what Christianity is all about. For all of its alleged concern for the “poor in spirit,” Christianity does it best to generate spiritual poverty under social insanity. Indeed, Christianity has been quite a success in our country. In exchange for obedience, we have been promised salvation in the afterlife. In order, however, to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity sees to it that we need salvation or that there is something to be “saved” from. It is, in this way, that we have been educated to believe that we are sinful and worthless in the face of God; or that we Filipinos are potential fuel for the flames in hell. Thus, Christianity destroys reason before it introduces faith, so it must also destroy our potential for growth and maturity so that we can value the concept of salvation – indeed, the so-called “better life to come after death in the kingdom of God.” No doubt, we all want to go to heaven. So how come none of us want to die? Christianity has had vested interest in misery in our country. Of course, it is not called “misery.” It is not even called “suffering.” Instead, Christianity prefers to call it “sacrifices” in this life so that benefits may be won in the hereafter. Through the notion that “sacrifice” is a virtue, Christianity has succeeded in convincing all of us that misery experienced through “sacrifice” is a mark of virtue. Social and political and economic misery become the reflection of morality – and conversely, growth as people and maturity as a nation become the reflection of immorality. Christianity does not preach - “Go forth and be poor and miserable.” Rather, it says, “Go forth and practice the virtues of self-sacrifice.” In the meantime, the richest, most powerful bank in the world is the Vatican bank. Its cash deposits are in the trillions of dollars. Here are samples of inspired messages published daily in the Philippines. It is about the “virtues of self-sacrifice,” if not about being “poor in spirit.” They are also about what our education has been traditionally rooted upon – the preparation for immortality rather than the preparation for the responsibility of well-informed citizenry: Nothing can compare the love of God. To see Jesus will be heaven’s greatest joy. Work that are done out of love for Jesus shines brightest in a dark world. When Christ is the center of your focus, all else will come into proper perspective. For the Christian, heaven is spelled H-O-M-E. Each small step of faith is a giant step in growth. The primary reason for living in this world is to reflect the likeness of Christ. God’s truth uncovers Satan’s lies. God’s answers are wiser than our prayers. A heart in tune with God sings melodies of praise. Worry is a burden God never intended us to bear. We are more precious to Jesus than the costliest diamond. The Christian’s race is not a competitive event but an endurance run. Patience means awaiting God’s time without doubting God’s love In the meantime, here are words from one of the greatest men this world has ever produced. He happens to be our national hero – Jose Rizal - the greatest of Filipino thinkers. He was publicly executed by Christianity in 1896 in the Philippines. In exact opposite of what Christianity teaches, Jose Rizal simply wrote: “I would like the Filipino people to become worthy, noble, and honorable.” In clear view of the reality that human consciousness shapes a nation, I ask: where are the schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines that seriously teach Filipinos how to become worthy, noble, and honorable? Indeed, where are the Filipinos educated to achieve the greatest kind of freedom for our country – the freedom from the evils of religion? Poch Suzara

I was Told

I was told again and again that God's answers are wiser than our prayers. It is for this reason that I ceased praying to God like I did faithfully daily and nightly. I was then such a religiously frightened dumbstruck moron. Poch Suzara
