WAKE UP

I identify, wholeheartedly, with any group of people who portray themselves as the "chosen ones," or better yet, colonized god in their own image. But I refuse to sympathize with people who worship and praise god that is not in their own image, or worse still, a god that has failed to choose them in the first place. I cannot sympathize with them because they refuse to reason logically.

The image of god is high and mighty in our conscious and sub-conscious minds. So if a group of people have managed to be chosen by god or have colonized the image of god; invariably, those godly people are high and mighty in the conscious and sub-conscious minds of those who choose to worship that same god. It is not an accident that the people that have portrayed themselves as the chosen ones and those that have colonized the image of god are the same people who now control the world as a collective. It is called “positive self-fulfilling prophesy.” However, the “tag-alongs” or those who are willingly waiting for the return of the messiah to establish their own relationship with the creator are now the peasants of the world.

Imagine the joy, the confidence, the ego in a little child’s mind looking up and seeing god in his/her own image or looking down into a holy book and reading that his/her people are chosen by God. Now contrast that with another child, who looks up to a godly image that does not resemble him/her or look down to read a holy book that makes no reference to his/her people being chosen by god. In the liberated mind of the first child, the world is his father’s realm, so he/she can do as he/she pleases. However, in the poisoned mind of the second child, the world is a struggle, so he/she looks up to the first child for salvation. The first child is god in the second child’s mind. So, the struggle continues!

I think if you need to subscribe to a deity, you should subscribe to one in your own image. There are some people who would try to validate the three major belief systems we have today by pointing to their Kemetic, Ethiopic and Sumerian origins. I contend that this old and well-known fact should not be used as a point of validation, but rather as a point of rejection. I think it is ludicrous to validate and accept a fallacy just because you can trace its root to your land. The mere fact that these belief systems, in spite of their common origin, are in constant struggle to annihilate each other to the detriment of our civilization speaks volume to their emptiness. After all, if their deity is mighty and powerful as purported in their books, why fight for it - it can fight for itself.

Religion is an effective ideological tool for promoting, through the use of allegorical method, cultural supremacy and political control. As a matter of fact, an effective way to achieve an ideological goal is through the use of allegorical method. The most prominent allegorical method ever formulated by man is that of the eternal struggle between god and devil. Man’s main ideological goal is to feed his ego; so, he associates all that satisfies his ego with god and the opposite with devil. In other words, man creates god in his own image to always support or stand for man’s egocentric agenda. Thus, it is no accident that religious ideology is formulated on the allegorical struggle between god and devil; where, the godly people are rewarded with heaven and the devilish people are banished to hell – it is a control tool.

The current writer finds that the religious texts contain plasma (relating imaginary events as if they were real) and mythos (telling what never happened) but no historia (describing what actually happened). Thus, all the stories in the religious texts are allegories, compiled for the ideological goal of promoting cultural supremacy and political control.
