The Folly of Religion

CULTS OF THE DEAD

Just as "the accursed dyad" has manifested itself in the realm of geo-politics in the form of the
"Quartet", it should be duly noted and observed that it has also done so in the realm of religion,
the majority of the worlds population subscribing to one or more of the four major belief systems
currently in place, these being christianity, islam, hinduism and buddhism, two of which are now
locked in a vain struggle for global domination much like the Cold War.

These are, like it or not, essentially "cults of the dead" due to the fact that the deities in question have long since left this world, despite whatever bullshit claims the current proprietors of said
belief systems might continue to shovel. It has and continues to be the folly of men to create
elaborate and complex belief systems in a vain attempt to control the masses, and nothing has
proven more effective than systems based upon the wisdom and teachings of historical figures
who are no longer around to dispute the policies and precepts of those who now claim to represent them. To tackle such folly head-on requires the proper gear and equipment, so put
on your hip-waders and grab a shovel, boys and girls, as together we shall now expose the
greatest scam ever perpetrated upon humanity, that of organized religion!

First up must, and therefore shall be, that of Christianity, this in keeping with the precepts of
the historical figure it represents when he stated to "remove the mote from thine own eye first"! This system of belief (faith) has been responsible for more wars than any other, and its
self-righteous proprietors have successfully managed to subjugate or exterminate more indigenous populations than any other in history, all being done in the name of a man whose
only supposed crime was his objection to his fathers temple being used as a fucking bank!
How fitting it is then that the Western world, the staunch defender of said faith, now finds
itself on the brink of collapse due to its continuing love of money!

Said Faith, having divided itself into Catholic and Protestant for mere political reasons, now
permeates every aspect of Western society, and has even managed to ingratiate itself into the
hearts and minds of the Northern-Slavic nations of Russia and alike in a third and unique form
of what is known as "Orthodox" Christianity.

The institutionalization of said faith has managed to place a building on virtually every corner
of every city right down to the smallest village or town, amassing material wealth at the ex-
spense of its followers despite the dire warnings of its own "Holy Book" (The Bible) regarding
the folly of worshipping the "works of your own hands" above that of creation. Too add insult
to injury the proprietors of said faith then proceed to have the faithful get down on their knees
weekly to worship graven images that can neither see, nor walk, nor talk, this being in direct
contradiction to the very written word contained in the Book they claim to revere. To confront
such hypocrisy risks accusations of heresy, thus the need for hip-waders and a shovel. And you
can be sure, boys and girls, that if said deity ever did return to claim all that has been created by men in his name, said proprietors of said faith would be the first to supply the hammer and
nails to the local authorities! Fortunately for yours truly I am not the great Priest/Rabbi after
the order of Melchisadek but rather he who sent him, and as such have come fully equipped with four elemental weapons and a crown of every deadly thing to deal with such bullshit!

Thus, be it the shameless hypocrisy of referring to the day of said Christian deities death as
"Good Friday" while at the same time referring to a stock market slump in the eighties as
"Black Friday", the blatant greed and self-righteous avarice of the Christian West is best
exemplified by the current far-right, neo-conservative Bible-thumpers of modern day America.
Apparently, having accepted Jesus as their "personal" savior seems to have exempted them from any and all consequences of the evil they do while awaiting his return. It was not enough
for these dogs that he died for their sins. Hell no! He must now return, in the flesh, to deliver
them from the very evil they now create. What seems to have escaped these "empty skulls" is
the simple fact that if they truly believed in the man in question they would also believe in his teachings and therefore would subsequently choose to live by such, and in this manner would be saved! Therefore I can assure said believers that your master shall in no way be returning
any time soon save through the carnal pleasure afforded mine own loins!

Next up is the system of belief originally created by that once desert camel-jockey turned prophet Mohammed in what is known today as Islam. Like Christianity it has also divided itself into two main and competing sects, Shia and Sunni, the consequences of which has turned
modern-day Iraq into a middle eastern version of Northern Ireland!

It was with great foresight that Mohammed, apparently foreseeing the inherent evil of Roman-based Christianty, took it upon himself to unite the various nomadic desert tribes and
kingdoms under one banner with the newly created Islam becoming the central, unifying Theme. It should be therefore duly noted that the Jewish Deity of Jehovah and the Muslim
Deity of Allah are, in fact, one and the same, the former representing the historical offspring of
Abel, the latter that of Cain. Since both have since watched the temple of their forefathers
burnt down and shattered at the hands of the Romans, they have far more in common than
they realize. It is only the petty human emotions of jealousy, envy and greed that keeps them alienated and at odds to this day. As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end?

Therefore, though the belief system of Islam was originally created to "Unify" a people
against the perceived outside threat of Roman-based Christianity, its current proprietors, be
they intellectually ignorant or besieged from within by radical militants, have allowed said
system of belief to become the engine of great division amongst their own people. Nowhere
in the Koran is it stated that Muslim shall rise up against Muslim if such proves to be politically expedient to do so! Furthermore, the traditionally gracious treatment of the outside
world by the truly faithful in accordance with the written word of the Koran has been replaced
with the blood-thirsty cry of "kill the infidels", such now meaning anyone who does not accept
the radicalized version of Islam put forth by many of its current proprietors, including other Muslims.

The cause of such violent discontent is, as always, abject poverty. It is an easy sell to convince
some starry-eyed teenager living in such day-to-day conditions with little or no hope of ever
being able to change their lot in life to strap on an explosive device and destroy those who are
perceived to be responsible while dangling the carrot of Paradise as reward for their sacrifice,
particularly if such is backed up with an actual promise of cash for the newly departed's family.
In this manner not only does said pawn end up in paradise but his/her family is looked after in
their absence. The fact that the combined wealth of various oil-rich states resulting from their
business dealings with the West could easily, be they ever of one mind, create a virtual "Paradise on Earth" for their own citizens seems to escape both the leaders of said region as
well as the proprietors of its once Unifying belief system. The West, having created what would
have been considered such "unimaginable" wealth only 50 years earlier is now a convenient
scapegoat used by those who continue to profit from said relationship, safe in their Ivory
Towers complete with solid gold shitters (apparently, "their" shit does not stink) while their
own citizens continue to believe that they must "die" in order to experience a Paradise that
could easily be created by and for them with the help and guidance of their own leaders, both
political and religious.

Since both Hinduism and Buddhism are older in origin (both "before Christ" systems)
they posses certain aspects of the "Knowledge of the Ancients" lost to the two aforementioned
and subsequently younger belief systems.

Modern-day Hinduism possesses within it the original seed of the Knowledge of the Ancients
and their definition of God as a "form of infinite manifestation", however due to the passage
of time has become a degraded form of the original idea and has subsequently slipped into mere idolatry. The Eastern Law of Karma is completely congruent with the Christian dogma
of "as you sow, so shall you reap", both now validated by the new religion of science by the
basic law of physics, which states that "energy created cannot be destroyed, only transformed".
Therefore while exactly what happens to the infinite energy that is the "soul" upon or after death is still unclear, we do know, thanks to the new religion of science, that such energy does
possess a measurable mass of roughly 21 grams, 21 also the number attributed to the Tarot
trump entitled "The Universe" in the Tarot of the Egyptians ("The World" in lesser, debased systems).

Thus, while the preoccupation of religion seems to be to ease the inherent fear of death, I
would now counsel humanity to "solve the first half of the equation, leave the second unattacked". Concentrate your efforts on solving the problems of your continued existence
upon this floating garden, since you all, given your current state of technology, have nowhere else to go, and cannot possibly understand anything that you have not yet experienced yourselves. Consider Death to be nothing more than the inevitable and upcoming adventure into the unknown, an experience to be enjoyed by all!

I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death: peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy: nor do I demand aught in sacrifice. Understand?

Last but most certainly not least are my age-old friends the Buddhists. Your inward search
for personal enlightenment coupled with your pacifist nature, this being completely congruent with the Judeo-Christian philosophy of "turning the other cheek" makes you the most benign
of the current belief systems currently in place. However, your continued silence and inaction
in the face of the obvious destruction of this world by the children of men represents the greatest of folly. It is true that one day the sun will burn out and all life upon this earth will be extinguished. However until such time it should be the purpose of every enlightened soul currently walking this earth to ensure the continuity of existence of all life, human or otherwise. I am of the opinion that your founder would be the first to pick up the sword in
defence of this world, not because he would want to, but rather, out of the mere necessity
the current conditions demand. It will be much to your chagrin if the world as you know
it comes to a sudden and abrupt end, a premature death brought on by the evil of men while
you remained self-absorbed in your own personal quests. Your continued silence and inaction
in the affairs of men, however distasteful, does your Master great dishonor! Having said all
these things, be it understood that "I AM" now:

ALL EARS!!!!!!!!!!

The Truth, now existing within the realm of the microcosm (cyberspace), as it does within the
the realm of the macrocosm(infinite space), can now be considered very much:

^^^^^OUT THERE^^^^^

THE DIREFUL JUDGEMENT OF RA-HOOR-KHUIT

Having sent my Minister Aiwaz to dictate to my late Scribe and Prophet the written word of
my Law, this being Love, your species has since plunged itself into two, 2, II World Wars and
are well on your way to a Third, courtesy of, with a wink and a nod to B.S., a bunch of "War Pigs"

Knowing this truth, what the current political leaders of your world are really wondering is
why "The Lord" has not yet parked his ships over their cities and given them the ass-kicking they
so greatly deserve. The reasons for this are two, 2, II, in number:
1. That would not be very sporting now, would it?
2. That's what they hired me for.

This is part of an elaborate joke currently being played on The Devil, a result of my omission
of page 315 containing "The Comment" upon delivering to him an original copy of "the Book of the Law" in 1984. My innocence lies in the fact
that I could not have given him said page since I had already burnt it!
