Serf’s Up: Do What Thou Wilt

Imagine the finest human being you can conceive of. We all know what qualities would be present in such a person, so let us speak of the main quality which would be noticeably absent: self-important vanity.

Now imagine a limitless sentient being worthy of being called a God. We all have an idea of the qualities such a being would possess. Surely, the Personality of such a Being would be a billion times more balanced than that of the finest human being who has ever lived.

Thus, it follows that a Godlike being would have a complete absence of those unwanted traits, vanity and self-importance.

Yet my Monotheist siblings of all Tribes and Nations keep telling me:

NO, HE ABSOLUTELY HAS THEM.

I have read the Holy Books of each of your One True Religions. Long have I studied and pondered. Your God is known to me. His defining trait?

ABSOLUTE VANITY AND SELF-IMPORTANCE. The very last things we would want in a parent, sibling, teacher, friend or leader.

At one point in Humanity’s development, we had Kings, because we were childish, violent, and felt we needed a strong paternal hand set over us. How did those Kings get their unlimited earthly Power?

The Monotheist Priests claimed that GOD had given it to them. And GOD, after all, was the KING OF KINGS…

Today, regardless of creed or lack thereof, we all know this was arrant nonsense fit for children, and regardless of our personal politics, most of us can agree that we do not wish to live as serfs under a feudal lord. Though our world is imperfect, we can at least improve it slightly, thus “democracy”.

So I am honestly confused by my Monotheist siblings when they define Absolute Perfection, or “Heaven”, as: LIVING UNDER A VAIN, SELF-IMPORTANT ABSOLUTE KING FOR ALL ETERNITY.

Will I, like the Devil, quote scripture to back up my claims that the Abrahamic God, in particular, aka YHVH, is as vain and given to anger as a 10-year old child? I need not quote; just open your Bible to any random page, and behold proof.

The Story of the Standard God is available in all languages and in all cultures across the globe. It is a child’s story, fit for the Ruling Class to encourage, in order that there will always be a steady supply of Serfs to serve them.

The average intelligent Monotheist stopped thinking of “God” in this slavish, forelock-tugging fashion around the 17th Century. I quit around 1972, when I was 14 and a half. I had read the Book; I had absorbed the story. I called on the God of my Fathers, and was not answered. That is, unless the silent answer was:

“Now, kid: begin to read and study ALL the ‘Holy Books’ of the entire world…you might wanna begin with Buddhism 101. If you do good at that we might can get you into Taoism. This Crowley stuff? Oy! Above your pay grade. Maybe SOME day, bubbe…”
