Death to the gods

December 3, 2008

I was a bit nuts when I wrote this one.  Please bear with the colonial English…

—————————————————————–

Each man is an island, a unique construct suspended in a world that exists for his pleasure.  Man is not the slave of anything or anyone.  It is self-evident that all men are equal and are endowed with certain inalienable rights.  We humans have dumped that principle in favor of a superstitious dependence on a modern mythology.  Thomas Jefferson said, “I have sworn … eternal hostility against every from of tyranny over the mind of man.”  This should be the motivation of every person on earth, but instead we bow before our gods.  We come to the priests of our faith rarely, instead relying on a hope that their benevolence will fall rather than their wrath.  When something of great importance arises the gods speak esoteric phrases designed to give us an illusion of free will.  We cry and wail at the horrible penalties the gods place upon us and our children, but in the end we seem to believe that they are gods and that they have a right to punish us, even if that punishment is undeserved and the punisher flawed and mortal.  They rape, pillage, plunder, and destroy while we argue over the worthless minutiae of the god-sect to which we adhere.  We claim that we are mere victims of fate, as their oracles have told us.  We hear the words of the oracles and we act in accordance.  Divine utterances are to be revered and unquestioned, no matter how contradictory and ludicrous.  We live our lives as if the gods and their deeds do not matter, or as if we are powerless against them.  We accept their divine right and continue on with the meaningless existence they dole out to us.

Wake up Humanity!  You have been tricked!  The gods are not gods at all, but mere mortals.  Weak, flawed, and evil mortals whose ultimate goal is to strengthen the divine charade they have erected over us in order to keep us as slaves!  I swear eternal hostility against this mental tyranny!  Evil men are evil men are evil men.  There is no lesser or greater.  They become pure evil as they pursue the basest evil of all: tyranny.  We fall and bow to their rituals.  We beg and plead for their favor, when the favor is ours!  We bestow rights and privileges upon them, NOT they upon us!

Wake up Humanity!  Lets us throw the gods from their thrones!  Let us take action, not as serfs and vassals of a feudal futility, but as humans!  WE ARE, and we have the right to be as we so chose!  If there is any “divine” right, it rests equally upon every man, woman and child upon this earth.  No man has the authority, or the right to enslave another.  No man, so long as he harms no other, is deserving of any corporate penalty for his actions, other than that which nature would place upon him.  NO KING, NO RULER, NO LEADER, NO LEGISLATOR, NO PRESIDENT, and NO CONGRESSMAN deserves to even exist, as their only purpose is to enslave.

The gods are dead, for they were not gods to begin with.  Let us treat them as the vile and contemptuous criminals they are.  There is no hope in governments.  There is no freedom in government.  Withdraw your consent and refuse to obey their edicts.
