Open Letter to Michael Jones and Israel Adam Shamir
The Poisoning of the Earth by Ahriman’s
Inspired Fairy Tales of Redemption and Natural Selection
A commentary to A. McCarthy versus Ch.
Hitchens polemics on the “Greatness of God”
I. “The one who gives has the right to take back”?
At the end of May I had the possibility of
reading, thanks to “shamireaders” website, a long article by Anthony
McCarthy, published initially at
www.culturewars.com
[1], containing a critique of a currently
‘best selling’ book titled “God is not Great”, written by Christopher
Hitchens. McCarthy attacks this atheism-praising work from the point of view
of dogmatic Catholicism. Thus it was no wonder that my ‘mind&body’ (taken as
a whole) reaction, that of an “apostate Christian” who for 26 years has been
at odds with the neo-Judaist “subdue the earth” ideology of pope John Paul
II, was of course to favor Hitchens’ arguments against the god of the Old
Testament. Especially upsetting to me was McCarthy’s easily written
statement: “When describing the story of Abraham and Isaac he (Hitchens)
can only see attempted murder. He fails to realise that the Giver of life
has every right to end life”, etc. We in Poland, even as children, learn
a popular proverb “kto daje i odbiera, ten się w piekle poniewiera”
(The one who gives, and than takes back, shall find his fate in hell). This
dictum, so well known to children, suggests that biblical Abraham,
the “Father of Nations”, was an odious person who deserves to stay in Hell[2].
From this popular proverb’s perspective, the same should be said about the
“God the Father” of all Christians. Indeed, McCarthy interprets the sacral
murder theme, reported in OT, in concordance with the logically “hellish”,
most important dogma of the New Testament: “Of course, the story of
Abraham and Isaac prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Christ at Calvary”.
At the beginning I wanted to keep my acid
remarks about the hidden nature of the Catholic religion to myself,
especially considering that both Michael Jones (owner of the
www.culturewars.com website) and Israel
Shamir (www.israelshamir.net),
thanks to whom I had the possibility to read the McCarthy’s “Christian
apologist” pamphlet, are my friends who visited me in Zakopane two years ago[3].
But my scholar’s habit, exercised through decades of my university career,
to pinpoint and to denounce an evidently evil reasoning, has imposed on me
its own behavioral imperative. As the “pagan Christian” Aristotle used to
egoistically say, “Amicus Plato [Plato is my friend], but the truth is
more important to me”.
At the end of June, I finished my duties as
senior lecturer of philosophy at Pomeranian Academy, so I had the time to
reread McCarthy's pamphlet titled “And Neither is (Great) Christopher
Hitchens”. On this second reading I realized that Hitchens, like his
adversary McCarthy, reasons in an equally superficial,
“imposed-from-the-outside” manner in matters concerning the life sciences.
So I got additional incentives to try to shed more light on religio-scientific
dogmas born out of spiritual Darkness and Evil, initially among Christian,
then post-Christian, populaces; dogmas which poison the life – and the life
of not only humans – on our ever more polluted and ugly planet. (A full week
after completing the above sentence, I discovered that the subtitle of
Hitchens’ book expresses the same idea: “How Religion Poisons Everything”).
II. Try to kill and incinerate your
adolescent son, father ... and your Tribe will be blessed among Nations
In order to grasp where the cognitive error
is hidden, the error that transforms pious Catholics into men of evil, it is
necessary to denounce St. Paul’s fraudulent assertion that the evil done to
Jesus – a noble truth teller – has become salutary “for many”. McCarthy
summarizes this ecclesiastical dogma as follows: “According to Christian
doctrine, Christ the God-man chose to suffer and to die in order to atone
for our sins. ... His sacrifice possesses an infinite value because he is
Logos, and it is made out of love for me because there is nothing I would be
capable of doing “naturally” (i.e. according to my fallen nature) that could
adequately atone for my sins.” As these “sins” are considered, they are
“inexorably bound up with the Original Sin of Adam’s faithlessness”.
According to the Bible, the Original Sin consisted of human curiosity to
learn what is Good and what is Evil; to consume the fruits of the Forbidden
Tree of Knowledge of Ethics. And indeed, the pre-Christian “sinful” pagan
Greeks, in a net difference from the Law obeying Hebrews, knew very well how
to distinguish the good from the evil. To these “pagans” the Knowledge
(represented by goddesses Sophia and Athena) was the Good, whereas Evil was
the Ignorance, for which sorry state of an “empty mind” the Greeks had no
god to make a visual representation.
Such Old Greek “sinful” understanding of
Ethics suggests that the “God” of ancient Bible writers was Misologos, the
Devil. During first centuries of Christianity the so called “Marcionist
heresy” flourished, denouncing the God of Old Testament as an evil demon or
demiurg. This “heresy” has not been completely eradicated, and several
friends of mine (and of Michael Jones) competent in matters of religion,
among them writer Israel Adam Shamir and philosopher Robert Hickson, call me
a “Marcionist”. But once we denounce – as an evil demon – the “God” of the
OT, we automatically denounce his creations, in particular this “Zoological
Garden of Eden” which God had created in order to imprison in it the pair of
his beloved “happy imbecile” proto-humans. And of course, the atonement made
by Christ – as the Logos Crucified – for the “sin” of natural human
curiosity, has led to attempts to re-install on earth a New Regime of Happy
Imbeciles, commonly known as Christianity. No wonder, then, that apostate
Frenchmen, observing the behavior of pious chrétiens, coined the term
cretins. To persevere in such a spiritual state is nothing to be
proud of, so Marcion, like Muhammad five hundred years later, assured his
followers that Jesus, as a “Son of a Kind Stranger,” didn’t suffer at all,
not even in appearance. According to this Marcionist (and later Moslem)
interpretation, all the scenes of Calvary are fake; Jesus – The Messenger
(Logos carrier) of God – has therefore not atoned for our sins[4].
In the event that this alternative version of
Jesus' last hours on earth is valid, the proverbial Emperor’s Clothes of
Pastors of the Church (they dress themselves in black chasubles
commemorating the ever repeated scenes of Christ’s Passion), suddenly
vanish. These “naked” Men of Prestige reveal themselves to be a bunch of
mentally lazy but greedy for power imbeciles and buffoons, which indeed
“poison everything around them” as observed it, with accuracy, Hitchens. (By
the way, the same holds in the case of the so-called “Holocaust Religion”
priesthood. Once we dare to observe that the object of their admiration –
the mass sacrifice of 6 million Jewish souls during WWII – is a largely
imaginary event, the Supernatural Strength of their “groupies” disappears;
they reveal themselves as a bunch of greedy-for-power idiots, who “decided
to know nothing among us but Jews, and them in the fire of Auschwitz
furnaces” – to paraphrase the famous exclamation of St. Paul in his
“First Letter to the Corinthians”.)
I wrote a few years ago that the Polish
philosopher, painter and dramatist S.I. Witkiewicz already a century ago was
making a stupidity from the principal assertion of St. Paul, who had managed
to convince the criminally imbecile Christians that “out of an evil (the
crucification of Christ – 'The anointed of God') the good (the salvation of
Christians) had resulted”. This assertion, repeated mechanically by “our”
priesthood for nearly two thousand years as the “good news”, brought Witkacy
to comment it in a logically scrupulous way that “FROM AN (UNPUNISHED) EVIL
ONLY AN EVEN GREATER EVIL CAN ORIGINATE”. And this indeed happened once the
Church, during the Councils of Nice and than Ephesus in early 4th and
5th centuries, accepted
the so-called pastoral letters of Pharisee Saul/Paul, as having been
“illuminated by God”. To demonstrate the evil hidden in these letters it is
sufficient to point to the barbarity of Western “Christian” colonizers
worldwide. As the Western Hemisphere is considered, it is worth quoting the
opinion of Burton L.
Mack, professor of the New Testament at the School of Theology at Claremont,
in southern California, who “blames Christianity for contributing to
centuries of U.S. wrongdoing, from wars against Native Americans to
interventionism abroad[5].”
And there is no doubt, as pointed out already four decades ago the historian
of technical development Lynn White in “Science”[6],
that the Torah commandment “Subdue the earth” has become the First Motor of
industrial development – and thus automatically also of the earth's
devastation, which is particularly visible in once- beautiful Northern
America.
In the case of American Indians
we are used to thinking of their sad fate as linked with their technical
backwardness, but in the case of India itself its backwardness was
imposed by “Christian” colonisers. To quote
Lord Macaulay’s historic speech in the
British Parliament of 1832, commonly referred to as The Minutes: “I
have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one
person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this
country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think
we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of
this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I
propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture,
for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and
greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native
self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated
nation”.(In this form the Macauly’s speech is known in India.) And
nothing new has happened since the early 19th century:
In Poland, on the 1st of
January 1990, “the holy cross” was reintroduced to the chamber of our
Parliament. Precisely from that moment the incredible corruption of our
elites began, we witnessed the forced impoverishment and the necessity of
emigration of millions of our young people combined with the accumulation of
tremendous wealth by others, and we accepted the incredible ugliness of our
cities ravaged “as in India” by billboards and other imbecilic
advertisements popping up everywhere. And of course, our churches advertise
on their billboards that this year we celebrate “THE YEAR OF ST. PAUL”.
III. God Loves the Greedy and the Corrupt
How do we can get out of this “Impasse of
Moses”[7]?
Once we consider the OT to be the Book of Evil People, the Judeo-Christian
Decalogue should also be regarded as an evil product, this despite Catholic
pretensions to be the contrary. We shall thus feel no inhibition
overstepping its First Commandment “You shall have no other gods before
Me”. Once we dare to do this, we can ask: Do in other cultures gods
exist, which behave like the “Lord” who is praised both by the Old and New
Testaments? And here the answer is indeed easy, once we recall the ancient
cultural setting in which the Bible was completed. It was in Babylon in the
5th century BC, where
Persian influences were very strong, as confirmed by the particularly ugly
Book of Esther which glorifies a mass homicide of Iranians organized by
Jews. And in Persian Zoroastrian religion does not exist only one God, as in
Judeo-Christianity, but two Gods: One of them, called Ahuramazda, is
the God of Truthtellers, while his Enemy, Ahriman
is the god of “the evil
thought”, “the personification of the Lie, creator of Death, creator of
evil animals and of poisonous plants, the god which acts during the night,
fearing the sunlight, the Demon of War, of Quarrel and of Murder, the Arch
Devil of Lie, Revolt, and Weakness”[8].
All these Ahrimanian
characteristics fit very well the doings of the “Lord” of Old Testament.
This “God” is “the creator” of Egyptian plagues, he is responsible for the
death of first born sons, and for the bloody Wars so much praised by prophet
Isaiah; in the Bible he animates the vicious behaviour of His Chosen People,
loves the lies of Abraham and of Jacob, and highly appreciates the murder,
by Moses' clan of Levites, of three thousand of their “brothers and sons”
under Mount Sinai. (By the way, the number of three thousand curiously
coincides with the number of victims of 9-11 events, during which the modern
“Temple of Golden Calf”, known as the WTC, was destroyed!) It is not without
reason that the “righteous” prophet Malachi curses ordinary Jews for their
honest observation that “Every one who does evil is good in the eyes of
the LORD, and he delights in them” (2, 17).
The same “god” stands behind
pages of the New Testament, as Pope John Paul II insisted in late 20th century.
In particular, Ahriman has inspired parts of several epistles written by
apostle Paul. This self-appointed apostle initially was “breathing threats
and murder” towards Christians
(Acts, 9, 1), and later on wrote the famous Hymn
of Love (I Cor. 9), which Hymn
at the glory of Eros we should read together with Paul's renewed threats of
“flaming fire (and vengeance) inflicted upon those who do not know God”
(II Thes. 1, 8).
St.
Paul, who all life remained a
faithful student of rabbi Gamaliel, prior to his conversion participated in
the lapidation (stoning) of St. Stephen, and probably also participated in
“the democratic referendum” held in Jerusalem AD 33, as a member of the
crowd voting for the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth instead of Barabas.
This OT God “loves the Greedy
and the Corrupt”, as I observed in 1996 in a booklet entitled “The War of
Gods”[9],
pointing to the behaviour of Industrious and Prolific Jacob. This
microcephalian, so praised by the Bible, “was so dumb that not
only, during his nuptial night, did he fail to recognize with whom he was in
bed, but also, working for fourteen years to earn his beloved Rachel, he
apparently didn’t notice that the object of his desire had become an old
virgin. (Or, taking into the consideration the sexual habits of Jewish
females, Rachel had become the “false virgin” from the comedy of
Aristophanes: she fornicated with all around, while her dumb intended was
toiling to earn her charms for the future.)”
The cognitive corruption of
God’s Chosen People made inroads into the milieu of the extraordinarily
dumb, but greedy-for-redemption (and for god’s other favours) pastors of the
Christian flock. It is this congregation of Fathers of the Church which in
AD 431 accepted Paul’s
doctrine, according to which “Christ the
God-man chose to suffer and to die in order to atone for our sins”. What
remains beyond the possibility of cognition of “true Catholics” is the
sordid fact that St. Paul formulated his theory of “salvation of Christians,
by a punishment of Christ-Logos” using the model of the philo-criminal
Hebrew practice of “atonement of sins” by a deliberate ‘punishment’ of
innocent domestic animals (see the explanation of the prosaic origin, of
this most important Christian dogma, in “Letter to Hebrews”, chapt. 9-12 to
10-18).
The corruption of the Christian spirit, by an
acceptance of the “logos of Paul” (which logos, according to Keller[10],
was refused by Marcion, despite the introduction into his canon of
“castrated” fragments of Paul’s epistles), has led to a centuries-long
plague of incredibly cruel crimes committed in the name of “Christ
crucified”. The pathology of Christian “missionary” wars, and of burning
heretics at the stake, began to die out in Europe only after the Peace of
Westphalia in 1648. Nevertheless, without a thoroughgoing criticism of the
fundamentals of “our” religion, we cannot expect its renovation along ideas
(the “Logos”) outlined by Jesus as reported by the Gospels. At present,
senior researchers in “borderline problems of Christianity” are beginning to
reject “our” religion as a whole, like 56-years-old Professor Tomasz
Wieclawski from the University of Poznan. Until last year he was a member of
the International Theological Commission in Rome, and a member of the
Presidium of Guardini Fundation in Berlin. Nevertheless, in 2007 he not only
abandoned his vocation as a Catholic priest, but, in the presence of two
witnesses in his parish church, he officially confirmed his apostasy from
Christianity.
The reason for his painful apostasy
(Weclawski had to change his name in order to avoid harassment in Poland)
was his realization that the Catholic Church has become an institution
completely different from the one Jesus of Nazareth wanted to set up. In a
short communiqué published by the Polish media we read that according to
Weclawski “Jesus was defeated in his battle for the reconstruction of the
existing (in Israel at his time) socio-religious hierarchy. He become a
victim of messianic expectations, which led to his rejection by the elite,
and to his condemnation to death. But Jesus’ most painful defeat happened
after his crucification – it was the interpretation of his defeat as a
sacrifice.”
Indeed, these Three Great Defeats, which
Jesus of Nazareth suffered in Israelo-Palestine two thousands years ago,
bear enormous consequences on the fate of the planet, taken as a whole:
1st.
The New Testament of Arhiman’s Evil People suggests that no revolt is
possible against the clique of “robbers and thieves” atop the Chosen People
flock.
2nd.
The NT warns that everyone who attempts to fight for more just social
relations – and for a clear vision of how society works – will be condemned
as a criminal, and mercilessly punished.
3rd.
It informs us that precisely those enterprising individuals, like St. Paul
and his hidden masters, who have organized the Calvary of the truth-telling
Galilean, by turning it into a sacrifice, have managed to impose themselves
as the Pastors of naive Christians.
Weclawski, in the course of his career, has
collaborated with the present pope Benedict XVI. This new Pope delivered a
very significant lecture at the University of Regensburg in September 2006
(to which lecture McCarthy refers in his polemics with Hitchens), and
through this lecture we may sense that atop the Catholic hierarchy exist
alert people who are conscious of the cretino-criminal “Impasse of Paul”,
into which the Church was maneuvered centuries ago. Maneuvered in by bishops
greedy for power and wealth like Cyril of Alexandria and his Carthaginian
contemporary Aurelius Augustin in the early 5th century.
IV. The Modern Science of Ignorance of
Principles of Life, and its OT Origin
In polytheistic religions divinities
symbolizing the Creation were different from those symbolizing Destruction:
the Greeks had Eros, which binds people (and animals) together, in
opposition to Eris-Discordia, which destroys friendships and mutual trust.
In the Hindu pantheon of gods, hundred-handed Vishnu was the Creator, while
Shiva was the god of Death. In Persian Zoroastrianism, Ahuramazda directed
hosts of robust, suntanned truthtellers, while his enemy Ahriman directed
swarms of pale, underground conspirators, deceivers, robbers and murders, by
their manner of life resembling fearing the light, blind termites. In
Judeo-Christian monotheism these mutually opposite characteristics are
intermixed. The contemporary pious Catholic writer McCarthy argues facilely
that “the Giver of life has every right to end life”, and so on. The
Unique God of such “Christians” must thus be a Double-Faced Being, commonly
known as a Hypocrite. And it is precisely this double faced “God-Father”,
which is the object of a sincere hate of Jesus of Nazareth, who in the
Gospels cursed 77 times the “Scribes and the Pharisees”: “Man cannot
serve Two Masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other,...
You cannot serve both God and Mammon”.
One of these, largely forgotten curses
states “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken the key of knowledge; you
did not enter yourselves and you hindered those who were entering”. This
curse we find in Luke 11, 52; in the Gospel of Matthew, destined for people
of Jewish cultural background, the word ‘knowledge’ became substituted by
the vague notion of the ‘kingdom of heaven’. This substitution we can
explain by the cultural background of ancient Israelites for whom the term
‘knowledge’ meant “fruit of a sinful curiosity”. This “godless” curiosity
was so much despised by this lover of Ignorance, the Pharisee Paul, that he
“decided to know nothing among us except Jesus Christ, and him crucified”
(I Cor. 2,2). Christopher Hitchens' book “God is not Great” provides
testimony that the Old Testamental Holy Spirit of Ignorance is finally
starting to vanish among English-speaking people. But the mindset of men,
grown for centuries in the poisonous vapors of the Bible, is not so easy to
bring back to Logic and Reason.
In particular the Judeo-Christian “Book
of Ahriman” leads an unobservant reader to believe that: a. The creation of
novel forms of life, of novel sub-species, novel cultural habits, and of new
civilization programs happens always “from outside”, decided by an
exogenous, impossible-to-understand Being; b. The biblical Creator is in
fact the Creator of Destruction; the establishment of novel forms of social
life is obtained by an eradication of preceding civilizations; and c. Human
cognitive inactivity is highly prized by the Lord: “the one who
does no [mental] work, but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his
[mindless] faith is reckoned as righteousness.” (Rom. 4, 3). In short,
all creativity, both this visible in external Living Nature, and in our own
personal behavior, is absolutely not linked with our own – and other living
species' – activity.
It is easy to observe that all these
features of “Creator of Destruction” have reappeared in modern theories of
evolution, which were constructed in countries in which the teaching of the
Bible had become obligatory. Thus it is no wonder that in countries “under
God” – like England and the USA today – no honest description of creative,
biological forces is permitted. Just the contrary: forces of Death and
Destruction, like those worshipped by Darwinians' Natural Selection, are
considered to be the First Motor of Evolution, in particular of the
evolution of our human “super” species. As this famous “evolution” is
considered, both Hitchens and McCarthy represent the same Anglo-Saxon
“culture of blinders”, in which the precise demonstration of how New
Information is created remains forbidden. Hitchens (the “newly discovered
Jew”) is ascribing the Creation of species to the destructive forces of
Natural Selection, while McCarthy (the outdated Catholic apologist) clings
to biblical fairy tales of an instant creation, in particular of a creation
“ex nihilo” of God’s Chosen People.
Does there exist an alternative to the “blind
alley” of noxious (both for humans and their environment) Western
scientifico-religious concepts of development of life forms “ex nihilo”,
solely with the help of destructive Natural Selection? We have to remark
here that both Hitchens and McCarthey, due to their “liberal” upbringing,
entirely ignore the Eternal Bio-Principe of Creation, which the French
biologist Paul Wintrebert put as the title of his book “LE VIVANT CRÉATEUR
DE SON ÉVOLUTION” published in 1962.[11].
Already in antiquity Aristotle, so despised by the early Fathers of the
Church, observed that all higher concepts of reality are created in human
minds thanks to their capacity for association of facts, which alert
individuals are able to observe during their active life. “The one who
does no mental work, and is accustomed to passively believe, will soon have
an important part of his brain dead”, as Aristotle would note
ironically, and later would repeat it the French naturalist Lamarck. In
modern times these old psychological observations took the form of Pavlov’s
Law of Learning, which is valid in case of all higher sensate animals.
Ultimately they led to the formulation by Jean Piaget of the genetic theory
of personality maturation. According to the School of Genetic Epistemology
in Geneva, children – as well as all other higher animals – during active
exploration of their environment encounter various obstacles, including
those which are harmful to them, like germs, UV irradiations, cold weather,
difficult-to-climb trees, and so on. And by a biologically automatic
(over)recovery from micro-lesions, which these “perturbations” induce in
organisms of young animals, a person (or other animal) fully adapted to a
particular environment is grown.
This biological realm remains effectively
beyond the cognitive capacity of people like Noam Chomsky, whose childhood
environment consisted of reading and rereading the pages of the Old
Testament – in that “Book of Ahriman” nothing resembling an effort to
understand and improve the world is reported. No wonder that numerous
scientists of orthodox Jewish, Protestant, or Anglo-Saxon origin, are
completely unable to imagine that New Information is created only thanks to
intensive, manifold repetition during youth of psycho-motorical efforts, as
in the case of learning of a language or learning to swim. In this matter,
the supposedly well educated professor Chomsky is positively sure that “We
have substantial, really overwhelming proofs that essential aspects of our
mental and social life, among them also the language, are determined as a
part of our biological endowment, and that they are not acquired by the
process of learning, in particular by a training”[12].
According to Chomsky, ACTIVITY DOES NOT LEAD TO CREATIVITY, which
“scientific discovery” remains in a complete disagreement with the results
of more than 50 years of research by Jean Piaget, who summed up his life
experience in biology and then in psychology in the title of his last book
before his death “LE COMPORTEMENT, MOTEUR D’ÉVOLUTION” (Behavior, the Motor
of Evolution).
Due to Chomsky-like, ‘genetically
established’ ignorance of the Eternal Law of Biology, all Judeo-Christian
elucubrations on the theme of the “Greatness of God” are necessarily lame,
for the “God” which writers like McCarthy, Hitchens or Dawkins[13]
imagine, is sterilized (“circumcised”) from the divine faculty of creation
of new, more precise ideas, permitting us to better understand both
ourselves and the world surrounding us. Somehow St. Paul’s proud exclamation
“Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of
the world?” has become the “flesh” of neo-Darwinism-dominated Western
Science. And adepts of such “circumcised” science will no doubt bring the
Planet Earth to a bitter end.
Dr. Marek Glogoczowski,
Chair of Philosophy, Pomeranian Academy, PL
(Below is a table illustrating the extent to
which Darwinian theory was modeled on the primitive mis-information we find
in the first verses of the Bible, which “Logos” is so much venerated by the
Anglo-Saxon Supermen of thought.)
An outline of the Biblical sources of
Darwinism
A wider acceptation of any scientific idea is obtained, when its
receivers have their individual associative apparatus appropriately
tuned-up for its reception. In the Anglo-Saxon culture men are (were)
exposed from childhood to the teaching of the Bible, and thus the
reality they perceive is to a large extent modeled by the “directing
truths” of Holy Scripture. This fact, known from developmental
psychology and neurology, is sufficient to explain both the genesis and
the subsequent success of Darwinian, and then neo-Darwinian, concepts of
evolution.
1. The logical conclusion of God’s order to multiply and fill the
earth, which has been inserted into the first page of the book of
Genesis, is the predictable overgrowth of the number of
living organisms beyond their ability to feed. Such a “divine order”
must lead to the struggle for existence imagined by Anglican clergyman
Thomas Malthus. (The Old Testamental archetype, of such a struggle for
the means of subsistence and proliferation, is provided by the attitude
of the patriarch Jacob towards Esau, and in general by the attitude of
Jews towards other nations.) This inter-specific struggle for life has
became the essence of the theory of evolution elaborated by another
theology graduate, Charles Darwin.
2. The neo-Darwinian theory of August Weisman, added to original
Darwinism at the beginning of the twentieth century, postulates the
existence of qualitatively different biological substances: soma
and germen. It also has its ancient precedent in the
naturalist thought of Hebrew theologian Saul/Paul from Tarsus. In his
First Letter to the Corinthians St. Paul observes: What
you are sowing is not the body (or soma) which will arise, but
the naked grain (germen)... God gives to every seed the body he
intends, for each seed a body appropriate to it (15, 36-38). The
seed (germen) of the concept of such division we may find at the first
page of Genesis, 1, 11-12. For the molecular biologists of
today the cultic objects are genes, and in a similar way,
for the ancient Hebrews, their own semen had sacral
meaning. (To recall the story of Onan or rites of purgation:
Priests, 15,14.)
3. According to concepts attached to neo-Darwinism in the middle of the
twentieth century, new variants appear thanks to random mutations of
genes hidden in germinal cells. Such an idea of hazardous creation of
novel forms of life, converges with an idea frequently repeated in the
Bible, that God acts (creates and selects his victims, and/or his
favored people) through a fully stochastic process. (See the
“Jahveh oracle” urim-tummim of hazardous choices,
Exodus, 28, 30.)
4. At no point of its teaching does the Hebrew Torah admit the idea that
a collective, critical cognitive effort (similar to the one we know from
Plato’s Dialogues), may lead to a better understanding of
the world, and thus to a better life in it. The interdiction of
questioning of “revealed” dogmas leads to the functional atrophy of a
whole range of brain activities of populations immured in the artificial
realm born of reading Holy Scripture. Such past and present societies
have a tendency not-to-see particularly those absurdities, which
in their structure resemble fake orientational truths, which have been
inoculated into the Bible in the form of “mind viruses”.
5. The archetype of the neo-Darwinian idea that from harmful heritable
infirmities, called “mutations”, appear novel variants better adapted to
the environment, we may find in the theologico-naturalist thought of St.
Paul, contained in the same Letter to the Corinthians we
quoted above: is sown in disgrace (the seed of an evidently lame
theory) – is grown-up in glory (the body of a new,
world-encompassing religion or science). We have here an analogy to the
cognitive inventions of the Cabbala: there is no better good than the
one which arises from an evil.
The whole neo- (and ultra-) Darwinian theory we may reduce to the
natural selection (see pt 1) of bodies grown from hazardously created
variants of seeds (pt 3). It means that the totality of contemporary
concepts of evolution we may deduce logically from few simplistic
sentences incorporated into both the Old and New Testaments! These
concepts are cognitively “empty”, but nevertheless they impress laymen
today in a way similar to that by which ordinary Jews were impressed by
the empty interior of Jerusalem’s Temple. And we are invited to hate all
those who denounce the cognitive emptiness of Darwinian sciences, in the
very same way as Pompeius was hated for his act of tearing-down the
cover hiding the emptiness of this famous Jerusalem Temple of Misologos.
[4] Muslims imagine the last hours of earthly life of
prophet Jesus/Issa using as their “canonical” text The Gospel of Jesus
according to Barnabas and Matthew:
"Chapter 215
When the soldiers with Judas drew near to the place
where Jesus was, Jesus heard the approach of many people, wherefore in fear
he withdrew into the house. And the eleven were sleeping. Then God, seeing
the danger of his servant, commanded Gabriel;, Michael;, Rafael;, and
Uriel;, his ministers, to take Jesus out of the world. The holy angels came
and took Jesus out by the window that looks toward the South;. They bore him
and placed him in the third heaven in the company of angels blessing God for
evermore.
Chapter 216
Judas entered impetuously before all into the chamber
whence Jesus had been taken up. And the disciples were sleeping. Whereupon
the wonderful God acted wonderfully, insomuch that Judas was so changed in
speech and in face to be like Jesus that we believed him to be Jesus. And
he, having awakened us, was seeking where the Master was. Whereupon we
marvelled, and answered: 'You, Lord, are our master; have you now forgotten
us?'
And he, smiling, said: 'Now are you foolish, that know
not me to be Judas Iscariot!' And as he was saying this the soldiery
entered, and laid their hands upon Judas, because he was in every way like
to Jesus. We having heard Judas' saying, and seeing the multitude of
soldiers, fled as beside ourselves. And John, who was wrapped in a linen
cloth, awoke and fled, and when a soldier seized him by the linen cloth he
left the linen cloth and fled naked. For God heard the prayer of Jesus, and
saved the eleven from evil.
Chapter 217
The soldiers took Judas ;and bound him, not without
derision. For he truthfully denied that he was Jesus; and the soldiers,
mocking him, said: 'Sir, fear not, for we are come to make you king of
Israel, and we have bound you because we know that you do refuse the
kingdom.' Judas answered: 'Now have you lost your senses! You are come to
take Jesus of Nazareth;, with arms and lanterns as [against] a robber; and
you have bound me that have guided you, to make me king!' Then the soldiers
lost their patience, and with blows and kicks they began to flout Judas, and
they led him with fury into Jerusalem...

And the Holy Qur'an confirms this story by saying the
following:
"004.156 That they rejected Faith; that they uttered
against Mary a grave false charge;
004.157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ
Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of God";- but they killed him not, nor
crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ
therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture
to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
004.158 Nay, God raised him up unto Himself; and God
is Exalted in Power, Wise..."
Last winter, during a seminar on religious sciences, after reading the above
fragment of Muslim imagination of Jesus’ last hours translated into Polish,
I asked my students which version they preferred, the Christian one, in
which Jesus prior to his rapture has to suffer a cruel Calvary, or the
Marcionist/Mohammedan one, in which God’s Messenger is raptured, not
suffering at all, by his heavenly Master. No wonder that my, students, not
yet corrupted by “our” religion, preferred the story of “the salvation of
the Savior” told by the Mohammedan myth. The same question I address to my
friends Mike Jones and Israel Adam Shamir: Do they agree with the moral
judgement of my students? Here two answers are possible:
1. In case they agree with them, the proverbial Emperor’s Clothes of Fathers
of the Church vanish, for there is no Christ’s Passion to legitimize their
high social status. These Catholic Men of Prestige automatically reveal
themselves to be ordinary buffoons, like this famous Polish subito santo
pope JPII.
2. In case MJ & IAS, as subordinate members of, respectively, Catholic and
Orthodox Churches, accept the Dogma of Redemption of Christians by Christ’s
Calvary, they will, logically, demonstrate no compassion to the cruel fate
of the truth-telling young Gallilean (if they do, they would prefer answer
1). On the contrary, they will demonstrate their compassion for the
truth-hiding activity of “our” priesthood. This priesthood is supposed to
imitate the behavior of “dressing himself in Christ’s skin” (see
I Cor. 11, 1 or Ph. 3, 17-21),
self-appointed apostle Paul, the Sworn Murderer of the Cognitive Soul
of Christians. It is thanks to the efforts of this ‘vicar of Ahriman’, that
our culture has become built on an Orwellian principle: “Ignorance is
Strength” (literally “Your faith may not rest in wisdom of men, but in
the power of God ... Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the
world?” – I Cor. 1, 5 and 1, 20)
