ORDER OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH
"In Christianity the instincts
of the subjugated and the
oppressed come into the foreground: it is the lowest classes
which seek their
salvation in it. Here the casuistic business of sin, self-criticism,
conscience-inquisition is practised as a specific against boredom;
here
an emotional attitude towards a power called 'God' is kept constantly
alive (through prayer); here the highest things are considered
unachievable, gifts, 'grace'. Here also public openness is also
lacking; the
hole-and-corner, the dark chamber is Christianity. Here the body
is
despised, hygiene repudiated as sensuality; the Church even resists
cleanliness (the first measure taken by the Christians after the
expulsion of the Moors was the closure of the public baths of which
Cordova
alone possessed 270). A certain sense of cruelty towards oneself
and
others is Christian; hatred of those who think differently; the will
to persecute.
Mortal hostility against the masters of the earth, against the 'noble',
that is also Christian. Hatred of mind, of pride, courage, freedom,
libertinage of mind, is Christian; hatred of the sense, of the joy
of the
senses, of joy in general is Christian..." - Friedrich Nietzsche.

JEHOVAH: THE TYRANT-GOD
The Judaeo-Christians' own
Bible shows Jehovah, their god, to
be apsychotic megalomaniac.
One of Jehovah's first actions
towards mankind was to attempt
todeny his new creation wisdom, lest his position as slavemaster be
threatened. (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:1-7).
Jehovah is a god whose bloodlust
against humanity can't be
satisfied until the Apocalypse described by John in The Revelation
destroys most of mankind and leaves Jehovah and Jesus enthroned as
world
tyrants above remnant.
From his rejection of the
fruit offering of Cain in favour of the
blood sacrifice of Abel (Gen. 4:3-5) until the final Apocalypse,
when
blood will flow from 'the winepress of the wrath of God' (Rev.
14:19-
20) the hands of Jehovah are dripping with blood.

OLD TESTAMENT PATRIARCHS & PROPHETS
The Old Testament makes it
clear that the patriarchs and
prophets chosen by Jehovah to be revered by mankind as 'holy' are nothing
but the lowest scum.
ABRAHAM pimps his wife off as a whore onto Pharaoh and King
Abimelech, by claiming she is his sister; a trick with Jehovah acting
as a criminal
accomplice, which gains him much loot. (Gen. 12, 20).
LOT, Abraham's nephew, offers his two daughters to a mob when
they threaten to homosexually rape two angels. (Gen. 19:8).
DAVID commits adultery with Bathsheba then arranges for her
husband to be killed in battle. (Sam. II-11).
ELISHA, successor to Elijah as Jehovah's great prophet. Whilst
travelling to Bethel he is teased by a large group of little children
about his
baldness. The prophet curses them in the name of Jehovah, and
two
she-bears come out of the woods and tear 42 of them. (II Kings
2:23-24).

JESUS
Jesus merciful and loving
is the image portrayed of him by the
Christian churches. The New Testament, however, shows him to
be
just as psychotic and megalomaniacal as his alleged father Jehovah.
This is
not surprising since, (according to Matt. 1:1) he comes from
the tainted
lineage of Abraham, David and other criminals.
While he demands of his
followers that they remain totally
submissive in relation to their own enemies (Sermon on the Mount,
Matt.5-7) Jesus commands that those who do not submit to his reign
be
brought before him and slain. (Luke 19:27).
Jesus declares that all
those who refuse to accept his divinity
shall be damned. (Mark 16:16). What this damnation shall
be is
made clear: 'everlasting fire.' (Matt. 25:41).
Jesus' megalomania gets
out of hand when he describes the day
when he will "come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him,
then shall
he sit upon the throne of his glory." (Matt. 25:31).

THE FINAL HOLY BLOOD-ORGY
It is appropriate that the
Judaeo-Christian Bible should end
with an orgy of bloodlust against Jehovah's long-suffering human creation.
In The Revelation we read
of the torment of fire and brimstone
upon most of mankind, in the presence of a sadistic Jesus and his angels.
(Rev.14:10-11).
Jesus will then reign over
the earth for 1000 years, after which
he finds it inexplicably necessary to again slaughter much of humanity
by a colossal war. (Rev. 20:6). He and Jehovah will
then sit up thrones,
attended by servants, within a city built of precious stones:
an
Oriental despot's fantasy! (Rev. 21-22).

THE LEGACY
Wherever Judaeo-Christianity
has exerted influence it has
ravaged mankind morally, intellectually and physically.
Christianity has sought
to impose limitations upon the mind.
Ignorance is elevated to a holy state. Paul declares: "For
wisdom of
this world is foolishness to God." (I Cor. 3:19).
This is the mentality which
gave history the Dark Ages, the
Inquisition, book-burning, a legacy of dark ignorance which
continues to have its impact today.
It is the same mentality
which even now motivates 'concerned
Christian parents' to burn books containing material far less
'immoral' than the chronicle of rape, murder and pillage contained
in their own
Bible.
It is Christianity which
has soured relations between the sexes
with its commandments for the subjugation of women. "Wives must
submit yourselves to your husbands"; "But I shall suffer not a woman
to
teach, not to usurp authority over man", writes the neurotic Paul.
How
different this is to the attitude of pre-Christian Europe, which regarded
women as
prophetesses.
The Judaeo-Christian dogma
has been nothing but a curse upon
mankind. Now, as we strive to free ourselves from this plague,
may
it be humanity's turn to curse the tyrant-god, the demented Nazarene,
and
their whole noxious creed.
