I
1: In this arid wilderness of steel and stone, I rise up my voice that you may her. To the East and to the West I beckon. To the North and to the South I show a sign of proclaming: Death to the Weakling, Wealth to the Strong!!!!
2: Open your eyes so that you may see, Oh Men of Mildewed Minds, and listen to me ye bewildered millions!!
3: For I stand forth to challenge the wisdom of the World; interogsate the "laws" of man and of"God"!
4: I request reasons for your golden and ask the why and wherefore of your ten commands.
5: Before none of your printed idols do I bend in acquiescence, and he who saith "thou shalt" to me is my mortal foe!
6: I dip my forefinger inot your watery blood of your impotent mad redeemer, and write over his thorn torn brow: The TRUE prince of Evil..........The King of Slaves!
7: No hoary falsehood shall be a truth to me; no stifiling dogma encramp my pen!
8: I break away from all Conventions that do not lead to my earhtly success and happiness!
9: I raise up in stern invasion the standard of the strong!
10: I gaze into the glassy eye of your fearsome Jehovah and pluck him by the beard; I uplift a broad axe and split open his worm eaten skull!
11: I blast out the ghastly contents philosiphically whited sepulchers and laugh with sardonic wrath!
II
1: Behold the Crucifix; what does it symbolize? Pallid compentence hanging on a Tree
2: I question all things. As I stand before the festering and varnished fascades of your haughtiness moral dogmas, I write thereon in letters of Blazing Scorn: Lo and Behold; All this is Fraud!
3: Gather around me, Oh! ye death-defiant, and the earth itself shall be thine, to have and to hold!
4: Too long the Dead Hand has been permitted to sterilize living thought!
5: Too long Right and Wrong, Good and Evil have been inverted by False Prophets!
6: No creed must be accepted upon authority of a "Divine" nature. Religions must be put to the question. No moral dogma must be taken for granted-no standard of measurement deified. There is nothing inherently sacred about Moral Codes. Like the Woooden Idols of Long Ago, they are the work of Human hands, and what Man has made, Man can Destroy!
7: He that is Slow to believe anything and everything is of Great Understanding, for belief in One false Prophet is the Beginning of all Unwisdom.
8: The Cheif duty of every New Age is to upraise New Men to determine it's Liberties, to lead it towards Material Success--to rend the rusty padlocks and chains of dead custom that always prevent healthy exspansion. Theories and ideas that may have meant life and hope and freedom for our ancestors may now mean Destruction, Slavery, and Dishonor for us!
9: As enviroments change, no Human idea standeth sure!
10: Whenever, therefore, a lie has built unto itself a throne, let it be assailed without pity and witho9ut regret, for under the domination of an inconvenient falsehood, no one can prosper.
11: Let established sophisms be dethroned, rooted out, burnt and destroyed, for they are a standing menace to all true nobility of thought and action!
12: Whatever alleged "truth" is proven by results to be but an empty fiction, let it be unceremoniusly flung into the outer darkness, among the dead gods, dead empires, dead philosophies, and other useless lumber and wreckage!
13: The moost dangerous of enthorned lies is the holy, the sanctified, the priviliged lie-- the lie everyone believes to be the model truth. It is the fruitful mother of all other popular errors and delusions. It is the Hydra Headed tre of Unreason with a thousand roots. It is a Social Cancer!
14: The lie that is known to be a lie is half eradicated, but the lie that even intelligent persons accept as fact---the lie that has been included in a little child at it's mother's knee----is more dangerous to contend against then a creeping pestilence!
15: Popular lies have been the most potent enemies of Personal Liberty. There is only One way to deal with them: Cut them out, to the very Core, just as cancers. Exterminate them Root and Branch. Annihilate them or They will Us!
III
1: "Love One Another" it has been said is the Supreme Law, but what power mad it so? Upon what rational authority does the Gospel o Love rest? Why should I not Hate mine Enemies--if I "love" them does that not place Me at their mercy?
2: Is it natural for enemies to do good unto each other- and what is GOOD?
3: Can the Torn and Bloody Victim "love" the blood splashed jaws that rend him limb from limb?
4: Are we not all Predatory animals by instinct? If humans ceased wholly from preying upon eatch other, could they continue to exsist?
5: Is it not "Lust" and Caranl Desire" a more Truthful term to describe "Love" when applied to the continuance of the Race? Is it not "Love" of the fawning scriptures simply a euphemism for sexual activity, or was the "great teacher" a glorifier of eunuchs?
6: Love your Enemies and do Good to them that hate and use you--- is this not the despicable phisosiphy of the spaniel that rolls apon it's back when kicked?
7: Hate your Enemies with a Whole Heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, SMASH him in the other!; Smite him hip anf thigh, for Self Preservation is the Highest Law!
8: He who turns the other cheek is a Cowardly Dog!
9: Give Blow for Blow, Scorn for Scorn, Doom for Doom--- with compound intrest liberally added thereunto! Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth, aye four-fold, a hundred-fold! Make Yourself a Terror to your adversary, and when he goeth his way, he will posses much additional wisdom to ruminate over. Thus shall you make yourself Respected in All walks of life, and your Spirit----your Immortal Spirit---- shall live, not in an intangible paradise, but in the Brains and Sinews of those whose Respect You have gained.
IV
1: Life is the great Indulgence----Death, The great Abstinence. Thereofre, make the most of Life------HERE AND NOW!
2: There is No Heaven of Glory bright, and no Hell where sinners roast. Here and Now is Our day of Torment! Here and Now is Our day of Joy! Here and Now is our Oppritunity! Choose ye this day, this hour, and for no redeemer Liveth!
3: Say unto thine own heart:" I am Mine own Redeemer."
4: Stop the way of them that would Persecute you.Let those who divise thine undoing be hurled back into Confusion and Infamy. Let them be as Chaff before the Cyclone and after they have fallen, Rejoice in Thine Own Salvation!
5: Then all thy bones say pridefully:"Who is like unto Me? Have I not been too Strong for mine Adverseries? Have I not delivered MYSELF by mine own Brain and Body?"
