Does monotheism lead preferentially
to crime? The question was often asked by specialists of
religions.
The nine first Caliphs of Islam
perished assassinated. Preventing to think never served human
dignity, neither the cause of God. Scholars wondered if
certain religions are not constitutively violent. But more than
monotheism, it is the prophetic neurosis which is so often
devil's mouthpiece... p.23
Unfortunately for the beliefs of Christians, the historian
Philo of Alexandria, who was Jesus' contemporary and
wrote several volumes, do not quote him, and if the Messiah is
famous until Syria, should we believe Matthew, and until Egypt
or Babylon since the Mages have come from there, while is he not
quoted anywhere in the chronicles?
For the past 2000 years, billions of
Christian have wondered:
why are we still obliged to
commit evil and suffer it, and indeed live, as if Christ
had never come?...
[The author put a few paragraphs a
little more on the right to indicate more personal and
psychological reflections]
At the beginning was the lie : lies of prophets who forced
visions and voices to serve a political cause. I do not doubt
visions, an eternal and dream perception of the world.
But a vision giving even
instructions about food, laws, hygiene and war is an illusion,
because nothing is more fluctuating than the customs and
beliefs. Visions are images drawn from the collective
unconscious, teachings of wisdom, they are allegorical and not
ready-made answers to circumstantial problems.
The three "biblical" religions have in common the destruction of
sources, the disregard for others and their pretension to detain
the revealed truth. Revealed by whom? Not by a hoary sage full
of wisdom, polished by decades of asceticism and ennobling acts,
but by vociferous prophets.
If God exists, it may be
doubted that he chose personality as controversial as Moses,
Ezekiel, Jeremiah, David or Mohammed, such as described by the
tradition. The prophetic points to his victim, the sage shows
the path.
In what monotheism has served the cause of the unique God, who
may well have done without this wicked homage? Even the Gospels
contain rages. Some claim that the apostles represented a
movement of rebellion... Simon the Zealot, who became
later Peter, was, as his name indicates, an activist.
His brother Judah (not Judah the
traitor) was called Iscariot, i.e. holder of the dagger with a
bent edge... Then this group was destroyed and consequently
divinized, according to a mechanism which was well analyzed by
René Girard.
The exceptional person becomes a
devil, a hero or a saint.
In which way polytheist were pagans?
-
Pagans, the Sumerians,
inventors of writing, of laws, of the wheel, of most of
the myths which forged our civilization?
-
They who have created
schools and the very first parliament?
-
Pagans, the Babylonians,
inventors of astronomy, of medicine, of treatises on
plants and of the fabrication of therapeutical drugs?
-
Ignorant, the Egyptians,
where men and women were equals? It is sufficient to go
in any museum to become immediately struck by wonder,
and modest.
-
Idolatrous, the
Zoroastrians, without image of God, inciting to
go beyond oneself through "good thoughts, good words and
good actions"?
-
Pagans, Krishna's devotees,
seeking forgiveness and goodness in the cult of
fecundity, intoxicated with the gratitude for the boons
from heaven?
-
Infidels, the worshippers of
Vishnu, good ascetics who where detached from the
appearances of the world, who wanted to realize the
Atman, and merge into the deep consciousness of the
Whole ?
-
Pagans, the Amerindians and
their prestigious civilization? The Aztec?!
-
Idolatrous, the Celts and
their refined conception of the divine, who have
dominated the world during several millennia and which
have elaborated myths taken again by Christianity?
-
Ignorant, the Buddhist,
whose spirit glides above the feelings of villainy?
-
Idolatrous, the Jains, who
do not kill animal and forbid to themselves any
violence?
How much base feelings this despise,
this self-conceit expresses. My Goodness!
Free us from these desert prophets,
hellish creatures, presumptuous, wicked, ignorant, who come out
from the dark age heading hosts of warriors of apocalypse, with
foam at the mouth, with erected sticks, the very servants of
Satan!
"The prophets, these goats with
a long beard, cannot pretend to any intellectual or
spiritual superiority... Their duplicity is obvious by their
very contradicting each other...
As for the Koran, it is only a
bundle of nonsensical fables...
The treatises of the Ancients
such as Plato, Aristotle, Euclides or Hippocrates have
rendered greater services to humanity."
(Ibn Warraq quoting Abdel
Razin
Why I am not a Muslim,
p.324)
The soul who is seeking ecstasies
against the others, end in the cul-de-sac of mad anger.
And the mystic who is petrified by
awe will more surely meet the "lower astral plane", the universe
of those deities which are evoked in the Tibetan Book of the
Dead rather than bliss and wonder.
The savior god was hardly a new thing when Jesus (whose name
means I save) appeared:
Apollo, Adonis, Osiris, Serapis,
Tanmuz in Sumer and Syria, Odin in ancient Germany, Dionysos-Bacchus,
Orpheus, Mithra and Horus were around...
(p.55-56)
When monotheism has inevitably lead
to wars against the inevitable heresies, young saplings sprout,
a fresh wind from the human spirit, who rediscovers the psychic
functions of the old gods. And for that, no need of books or
ancient idols: the functioning of the brain is sufficient.
Any person is able to rediscover
them by listening to his unconscious. Monotheism, opposed to the
functioning of the brain, does not exist in any religion. Our
brain needs, to transform the thoughts in words, to elaborate
representations.
This explain, to my eye, why pure
monotheism, which was meant only for rare sages, produces so
many pathologies among ordinary believers, by pushing them
towards schizophrenia.56
Among the other influences on Jesus, the room is lacking to
evoke Apollonius of Tyan, and overall Mithra whose cult
has been entirely copied by the Christians. [Raquin quotes many
details and proofs of this well-known fact].
This Manichaeism appears again in the concept of dar-ul-islam
and dar-ul-harb. The land which have been conquered by Islam are
"land (House) of submission".
The other countries are "lands of
the war".
Intoxicated herds, which have been
rendered mad by heinous preachers, are allowed to plunder, kill,
destroy the countries of the "infidels" - who in fact they are
themselves. Just as Mohammed was put above God by making
him speak, one puts Muslims beyond the others, and the
vociferous preacher feels he is superior to the one who is good.
Thus, a stupid person feels
authorized to abuse a girl if she eats during the Ramadan.
Any pretentious fellow, because he
prostrates before nothingness, feels that he has the power to
judge the scholar. Here lies undoubtedly the biggest tragedy,
and the basis of every tyranny: to give to mediocre people the
power to judge their neighbors... 67
People are summoned not to believe in jinns, but if they
believe, they are punished.
Here is a constant feature of the
Koran:
pretending everything and its
opposite, installing a series of double binds which prevent
reflection, paralyze logic, to force the acceptance of any
theological contortion.
These permanent contradictions are
strong evidence that the Koran is a collective work.
Every religion has its own
contradictions. But the Koran is false and contradictory on
almost everything. And neither the Bible or the Gospels claim to
have an unique author. Or one should admit that Gabriel had
become doting.
The "double bind" means receiving two opposite orders, which
provokes a stupefaction and paralyze intelligence: Allah agrees
only to Islam as a religion - but he says "no coercion in
religion".
-
Don't force your women into
prostitution - but if you do it, Allah will console
them.
-
Be stoned to death if you
don't believe in Allah - but anyhow everything comes
from Allah.
-
Don't be among those who
associate Allah with other divinities - but anyhow your
destiny is already written on a tablet since your birth.
Allah does not like that we
divulgate wicked words - unless one is being victim of them.
"We have divided the earth into
communities: among them there are the right ones - and
others which are not" (Co 7, 168 ).
There is no other God than
God - and still, there are angels, jinns, ogers; now, coming
from Allah, they incite to disagree with him.
But other assertions are still worse:
"There is refuge against Allah
only in him" (Co 9, 118) or "Who defends you day and night
against the Benefactor?" (Co 21, 42) or "I am seeking the
protection of the Lord of the Dawn against the evil he has
created..." (113)
This reminds of the child beaten by
his or her mother, and who, having only her, goes and seek
refuge near her.
Neurosis and despair are guaranteed.
Take refuge against Allah in Allah? Defend oneself against the
Benefactor? Ask from the creator of evil for protection? p.
68-69
At the beginning Islam had no vocation to universality.
Every prophet addressed his own
community:
"...When we have sent a witness
to every community, and we have made you a witness for those
people."
(4, 41)
The religious leaders of primitive
Islam which indeed were Samaritan or Ismaelian rabbis, forbade
the conversions to the new sect of non-Arabs for two centuries,
since one cannot convert to become the descendant of Ismael,
just as one could not become the children of Israel.
Then, the conversion system became
exploited to dominate, when the Caliphs understood the interest
to make people's mind submissive to the Arabic domination
disguised in Allah, when 600,000 words, hadīs, came out to
justify their political agenda, when Mohamed's life was
invented. (p.71)
Allah's
origin
Allah has got about one hundred "beautiful names".
A poem from the 12th
century B.C. grants to the
Babylonian God Marduk about 50
names, coming from the defeated and assimilated deities. Most of
these will qualify Allah.
The word Allah comes from the Sumerian divinity Lilitu, evolving
in
Lilith (the Mother-Goddess of
the Hebrew), and then in Al-ilat (that of the Arabs), but also
in
El, God, in akkadian. One finds
also in Arabic Ala, 'to be terrified'.
The name Allah has certainly been
the masculine form that the original name Al-ilat has
taken.(p.71)
Devil's
fall in the Koran
Later, Mohammed will get the authorization from Allah to use
deceit, lie and dissimulation (taqiyya).
"Hide what you have in the
heart."
A verse (16, 91) asks not to break
one's oath, but another (5, 89) allows perjury or incites to
commit it (96). The development of this devastating doctrine
comes still more from the hadīs...
All this has its origin in the Bible: Michea has the vision that
Yahve holds a counsel with the
heavenly hosts, allowing the Spirit to become the spirit of
lying against the adversaries of Israel.
God asks from his angels to
help him to seduce the king Achab.
"Then, one of them appeared
before the Lord to tell him: 'I am the one who will seduce
him. And the Lord told him: 'In which way'? He answered: 'I
will go and be a spirit of lie in the mouths of all his
prophets.
The Lord agreed: 'You will
seduce him, since indeed you have this power. Go and do in
this wise."
(1 Kings 22 19)
Yahve agrees to seduction, which is
nonetheless the characteristic of Satan.
The Koran will take again this
theme, which is a blaspheme but still natural for the
superstitions of that time. The more one invokes, the less one
respects...
These intrigues provoke serious spiritual disorders. For sin is
Allah's work, while Satan is there only to fix the practical
details...
Fanatics are basically victims of an
individual neurosis, but when they come together to intoxicate
themselves and share their hatred, they fall into psychosis,
prisoners of themselves, rendering themselves mutually mad.
(p.76)
Allah's
fall
Never spiritual discussions are to be found in the Koran or
Mohammed's life, except boring slogans.
Never mystical preoccupations are
present, which would enable one to accord himself with a
superior moral code. Never renunciation to illusions and
passions is hinted at. Never the ultimatum aim of humanity is
the object of questioning.
Forgiving is granted according to
Allah's whims; the absolution of sins does not come from an
inner transmutation, but from a mechanical profession of faith,
all the more claimed and shown that it is not put into practice
by good actions in life.
One finds only the crazy frailty of
an anxious Allah, because his subjects could start venerating a
secondary divinity, whom still He has created.
In the text one can only find the
proclamation of the tragic despair of a unique God,
killing his own creatures after sending Satan to them to have
them doubt; obliged to slaughter people to force survivors to
prostrate before Himself.
One sees in this book only Allah's
vertiginous fall into absolute nothingness, at war against its
own creation, having for satisfaction only servile people,
robots devoid of consciousness and without freedom. One reads
only devilish pleasures, threats and revenges.
The rights of the human creatures are threaded upon, betrayal is
sanctified; deceit is recommended; cruelty, baseness,
possessiveness, cupidity are encouraged; lie and dissimulation
are favored.
Psalmody is there in lieu of piety. Recitations take the place
of reflection, litanies that of elevation.
And all that is chanted until
entrancement, to forget, if only for one hour, the tragic
condemnation for the sin, not Adam's one, but still worse, for
the sin of living, because the very life of a human being is
unbearable to Allah, indeed jealous not to exist himself.
A human being will not be allowed the temptation to show love,
on the contrary, he will have to reject his own family:
"Don't take for friends your
fathers or your brothers, if they prefer incredulity to
faith."
(9, 23)
"It is not befitting to the
prophet or the believers to implore God's forgiving for
polytheists, be they their near and dear, while they know
that these people will be inmates of the Furnace."
(9, 113)
"You will not find people
believing in God and in the Last Day, and showing love to
those who oppose God and his prophet, be they their fathers,
their sons, their brothers, or members of their clan."
(83, 22)
And woe to music, dance and joy! Woe
to love and long life to death!
That is the war cry of those
sects which court death.
Those verses are only a remake of the Deuteronomy :
"If your brother, nephew, niece,
your wife who rests on your chest, or the friend who is as
yourself, incite you to serve other gods and not me, you
must kill him; let your hand be the first to put him to
death.
Lapidate him, let him die... If
iniquitous people serve other gods than Me, you will
exterminate their town and you will slaughter all its
inhabitants by your sword."
(Dt, 13)
Forced into a destiny "attached to
its neck" whose aim he ignores, the human being is now under
surveillance to accomplish rituals which are empty of meaning,
to cry out of rage and bitterness before this scorn of divine
creation and this ontological incomprehension of the world.
Let it be submissive, this bunch of
scoundrels ever ready to rebel against Allah so that he "may
send a messenger to warn them" and feel the pleasure to destroy
them:
"There is no city that we will
not destroy and torment with the strongest torture before
the Day of Resurrection. That was fixed in the Scriptures."
(Co 17, 58)
The human being believed to be free:
he is only an alien on this earth, a prostrated slave. But in
his curse, he will have also to be wary of his best friend, who
may be inhabited by a djinn; or of his son who will judge him
not believer enough and who will send him to hell.
He will have to see his mother and
sister humiliated and struck, this sister which is soft,
beautiful, loving, consoling, the only one which in fact
deserves Allah's beautiful names.
How difficult it is, the koranic
demand which teaches to despise woman; to transform the mother,
deity of our childhood, into an inferior creature, just waiting
to people the hell...
And to crown all that, the very foundation of spirituality -
compassion - is absent from Koran. Mercy, love, the thrust of
the heart towards the one who suffers, the care towards the soul
who is searching, are substituted by sinister vociferations.
Ceaselessly, Allah is called
merciful; but he never demonstrates mercy. In the description of
ignorant redactors, he has become a conceited and cruel being.
The most he can do is to accept servility as a proof of
submissiveness; and his forgiving is only for doubts about his
existence, since acts are secondary.
At last, intoxicated with Himself,
Allah falls in the supreme sin of pride, without any feeling for
His own tragic destiny of a burning king. Thus blinded by his
own glory, Allah takes the place of Lucifer.
He went beyond is
likes, such as Odon, Kali, Shiva, Nergal, Yahve, Satan, and ends
up alone in the world.
Under the pretense of absolute submission, the Koran represents
eventually God's murder, by rejecting Him outside humanity.
So, these legend-makers who wrote it
have been the root cause of innumerable crimes against the true
Allah. That is why the Koran is received by the technique of
overfeeding and stuffing memory; faith is not necessary because
faith is a choice, whereas there, only submission is expected.
We can notice that the end of the
theological debate in Islam, in the 14th
century, triggered a long lasting regression of this culture
which had been able, by translating Greek and Persian authors,
to reach the summits of civilization.
Reconquering Jerusalem!
In 614, the last Persian emperor of
the dynasty of Sassanides,
Chosroes II, takes Jerusalem from the
ruler of Byzance. He hands its administration onto the Jew, but
they are so violent towards Christians that he has to remove it
from their hands.
In 630, the capital is taken again
by Heraklios, the ruler of Byzance, to be lost a second time in
638.
Meanwhile, the Jews had enrolled
more and more Arabic tribes of mercenary and taken them on their
side by having them believe the myth that they were descendant
of Ishmael and thus that it was then their duty to reconquer
Jerusalem, which had become in their new understanding their own
holy land.
Before, the Arabic tribes had
nothing to do with this city.
There were two groups, Ishmaelians
and Agarenes, the latter were supposed to descend from Ishmael's
mother and Abraham second wife, Agar. According to the
historians specialists of this period, there has been a
confusion of words, between hegirian, that is the migrants, and
agarenes, Agar's descendants.
These "migration" which was in fact
of Arabic tribes into Syria and the West of Persia was
interpreted much later as the one from Mecca to Medina, two
towns which just did not exist in the 7th or 8th century
according to historians.
The group of Agarenes gave birth to
the Shiites, while the Ishmaelians gave birth to the Sunnis
Muslims: Ismaelian and Mussalman have indeed the same etymology.
