Catholics versus Camelics

We are told that it is easier for a good camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a good catholic to enter the gates of heaven. This is true. That is why I walked out of the church. I decided to become a good Camelic. I could never be a good Catholic. Poch Suzara

In Grade School

In grade school I was frightened to believe that God is not only here, not only there, but that God is everywhere. I therefore concluded that instead of me wasting my time looking for God, God must have already found me. It was this conclusion, among other things, that got me into trouble in grade school. It eventually got me expelled out of high school.

My teachers got mad at me. I insisted that it is not our business to be looking out for God; on the contrary, God must always be the one to find us. After all, God has the kingdom, the power, and the glory. We humans have nothing except the glory and the power of human stupidity. Poch Suzara

Afraid to Die

Those who are afraid to die are afraid to live. Bertrand Russell taught me the courage to live and the courage to face death sober, and not drunk with lies.

Now on these pages readers tell me that there is more to life than just to love, worship, and adore Bertrand Russell . Well, if there were, how come millions don’t know how to live such a life? How come millions are still waiting for their own Savior? It has been going on for more than 2,000 years now.

In the meantime, in life, you will always find what you are looking for. I have no money because I seldom looked for money. I am, however, rich in ideas, as I have never ceased to look for more and better ideas. In the meantime, mental health is the greatest of wealth. Poch Suzara

None of my Business

What other people think of me is beyond my control and therefore none of my business. If what they think of me is something dreadful – so what? If what they think of me is something beautiful – so what?

Either way, I stick to my character. My ways. I continue to develop my own mind and continue to cultivate my own heart. I try to live the good life – one inspired by love and guided by knowledge - and that’s the difference. Poch Suzara

Original Sin

The “original sin” was the sin of creation – what could be more original? However, that word “sin” is not the right word; it should be a “crime.” Indeed, if our world of suffering and pain, tragedy, disease, and disaster is the work of a self-conscious Being, then creation is a crime and its creator - a criminal.

Now am I really such a fool and a liar because I am saying that the creator is not worth believing, not worth loving? As a matter of fact, what I am saying is that there is no such thing as God, no such thing as the creator. We are part of nature as nature as nature is part of us. Nobody, but nobody knows where it all came from. What we must seek is the reconstruction of nature and ourselves, and not seek, for the glory of a silly creator – obliteration. Poch Suzara

Existence

Existence has no meaning and to ask if existence has meaning is to ask a meaningless question.

Existence exist and there is neither an explanation nor a justification why it exist. Existence just exists. Nobody knows why it exists. That’s all.

For millions of years before birth, we were existing as a nothing. For millions of years after death, we will again be existing as a nothing. To explain why is there something rather than nothing is a matter of explaining the existence of nothing.

My dear reader, every single something is energy and that energy is continually being transformed. Every transformation affects everything else that is in the process of becoming.

In the meantime each unfolding reality contains the seeds of its own destruction
and the embryo of a new reality that will replace it. In the ultimate analysis, existence – the existence of something is really nothing but a farce, a fraud, and
a ceremony. The sooner we accept the horror the sooner we can begin to be happy. After all there is no other way to go. Poch Suzara

I am Told

I am told that I am angry at the world and that that is my problem in life. Of course, I agree and proud of it. If you, however, can take a closer look at our sick world dominated by sick values and sick beliefs, it is a sign of mental health to be angry at such a sick world. Otherwise, one has got to be a dumbstruck moron to believe that our world was created by a good God, and that this is the best of all possible worlds. Golly, if God could create a heaven filled with joys and happiness, why couldn’t the same God create a planet earth filled with joys and happiness too? Poch Suzara

Mad Religious Friends and Associates

A few of my religious friends and associates are mad at me. I have not ceased shoving into their faces that I am not afraid to enjoy free speech. I think they are mad at me because they are still trying to figure out not what to do with their free speech, but really what to do with their free will. It is so obvious that they do not have any. Just as Adam and his only son Cain had no free will to choose a wife as there weren't women available to choose from. Poch Suzara

Fools

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalms 14:1

Well, it does not make any sense at all. To begin with, 3 out 4 babies born in this world are the fools. Why would God create such fools in his own image and likeness? Poch Suzara

The Sick Women of Asia

Ah, let us not forget where we all came from – the Sick Women of Asia. They would produce children recklessly, if not irresponsibly. Indeed, even if such children were to be born unwanted or unloved. Children who will struggle to survive under subhuman conditions in the streets of our major cities. Millions of them are out there suffering from malnutrition, lacking in health, hygiene and sanitation. But we were all educated to believe that such horrors are really a part of God’s plan and that we should never worry because God will always provide.

I said it before. I say it again. We are not the intelligent masters of religion. We are the stupid victims. With faith in a silly divinity, we are keeping ourselves poor spiritually, retarded culturally, backward morally, insane socially, sick politically, and fearful in the ways of science and technology. Poch Suzara

Millions of Mothers

Millions of separated or single mothers are desperate for love, sex, and affection. Their husband or boyfriend or lover abandoned them. They did not know what to do with the father of their children. Hell, these mothers did not even know what to do with their own children after they were born. For God’s sake, most of these women do not even know what to do in life except feel blessed by God as they search desperately for more love, sex, and affection. Can any of you please explain what the fuck is going on with you mothers? Poch Suzara

Every Right

You have every right to believe what you want to believe. You have, however, no right whatsoever, to teach children in school to believe what you believe especially religion. A subject nobody knows anything about. Children have every right to question everything; they have no right to be frightened into believing in a lot of silly religious nothing. Poch Suzara

We are all Atheists

Most religious people are shocked out of their senses when I openly tell them that I am an atheist. These religious morons do not appreciate themselves as they are all a bunch of atheists too.

Christians who do not believe in the God of the Muslims are atheists according to Islam.

Muslims who do not believe in the God of the Christians are atheists according to Christianity.

So the same goes for the followers of the other great religions of the world - they are all atheists as they do not believe in the existence of each other’s Gods. Well, if you just think a little bit more, even God Himself was an atheist. Look at his first command: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Obviously God did not believe in the existence of other Gods. Poch Suzara

Burning Bush

My dear reader, can you really believe that God in the Old Testament existed as a Burning Bush?

Well, if you do believe such childish nonsense, then it follows that you also believe that Mary, the Virgin Mother of God in the New Testament got pregnant with Jesus as she got herself impregnated by a Burning Bush. Poch Suzara

The Bible Says

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Indeed, look at us Filipinos already about 400 years old as the only Christian people in Asia. Look how we are still aimless as a people and directionless as a nation. We are still stuck with the corrupt values and corrupt beliefs trained into us during the formative years in our schools, colleges, and universities.

In the meantime, I am told that nothing last forever. I totally disagree. There are some things that last as long as eternity. In the Philippines, among us Filipinos, it is called human stupidity. Poch Suzara

I Say It Again

I said it before, I say it again: we are not only backward as a people, we are also retarded as a nation. Look how we all get excited over the prospect of cleaning up the Pasig river, cleaning up Laguna de Bay, cleaning up Manila Bay, indeed, cleaning up our dirty streets and polluted highways. But we have yet to get excited, even for a moment, in how we must first and foremost clean up the mess off our minds and hearts as the only Christian country in Asia. Especially as to where the mess originally come from. They are the results, if not the products of our messy and corrupt system of education!

Indeed, our schools, colleges, and universities are commercial enterprises in business to make money for themselves. They are not educational institutions responsible to improve our sense of self-respect as a people and to improve our sense of dignity as a nation. Poch Suzara

Oh God, Dear God

"When God forgives, He removes our sin and restores our soul.” Phil Star, Aug, 31,2009

Oh God, my dear God, don’t you have better things to do? Are you going to be a supernatural Nerd for the rest of eternity?

About 800,000,000 (million) women and their children in the world today go to sleep hungry each night. They are trying to survive under subhuman conditions. No food and water, no health, no hygiene, no sanitation. The majority of them, however, love, worship, and adore your Son Jesus. What is the matter with you God? What in hell are you waiting for? What’s all this garbage about our dirty sins and polluted souls? Please God get on to your job as the creator of heaven and earth. What are you a creator for, huh? Are you not getting sick and tired of man's sick and tired free will?

In the meantime, I am told that God exists as proven by the fact that there is, out there, not nothing, but something. Indeed, all of our troubles and problems in life in this world have something to do with something, and nothing to do with nothing. So where in hell did that something come from? Poch Suzara
