«CHURCHBURNINGS»
 
(by Kai Mathias Stalhammar)
 

I guess, most of people involved in black metal scene for at least two or three years are familiar with such topic as churchburnings, event which took place in Norway some time ago...
Let’s begin with the plain facts.
This plague was started in Norway by such organizations as «Black metal mafia» and «The inner black circle of Norway», and as a result of their actions, ten christian churches built upon the ruins of desecrated and destroyed pagan temples, were burnt down in 1992. Ten more churches shared the same fate during the years of 1993 - 1995. Jewish servants lost about ten millions of US dollars. Unfortunately, the outcome was also quite sad for those individuals who were the accessaries to those arsons, including Christian «Varg» Vikernes (a.k.a. Greifi Grishnackh), Tomas Haugen (a.k.a. Samoth) and some others.

Different people have various opinions concerning this subject. Some consider aforementioned actions as something splendid, others contend that it’s absolutely meaningless, moreover - dangerous. In my view, this coin have two sides...
On one hand, I utterly understand those who consume churches of non-existent «god» - they (e.g. christians) annihilated US, OUR culture and sacred places and now WE in full measure have right to destroy everything pertinent to alien religion, religion which represents slavery and false «salvation», whose followers worship worthless wretched deity, bleeding with it’s stinking blood. «We crushed your gods, trampled down the paths to your pagan sanctums, and gave you our god and traditions instead. You became the servants of our nation, our race even without suspecting it...» (Marcus Eli Ravage, «Case against jews» / The Century Magazine, 1928 AD) How do you like these words? I believe they brilliantly characterize all the activities of vicious christian (read - jewish) spawn in regards to those countries who had their own Faith, whose nation was forced to accept something more than just disgusting and disreputable, ALIEN....
But let’s move to the other side of this coin. Mass churchburnings can be met with incomprehension and fierce opposition of Society, without former preparation to aforementioned actions. They also may cause fear and even disgust to satanism and paganism among narrow-minded ones, and I can’t say that it bothers me a lot... (any kind of religion (doesn’t matter what exactly) represents Evil in my eyes). But the thing is that people, neutral by nature, easily can (will) join the christian horde scared by these radical measures performed by enemies of the Church, because «... christianity is what they accept and don’t want to loose» (Gaahl). Needless to say that such reaction is absolutely undesirable not only to me and alike persons, but to society in the whole as well. Rash actions of few teens blinded by anger will result in consolidation of christianity! 
«You have to change their minds first and then they’ll burn down the churches themselves!» (Magus Wampyr Daoloth). Aren’t these words correct? Why should you put up yourself for show, saying: «That’s who I am! - irrconsilable fighter against christianity, just look at me! I consume the churches and I’m proud of that!» Assertions of this sort may cause only inevitable imprisonment, which already gave refuge to many talented and unorthodox Personalities, who made the greatest mistake in their life burning the church... To hide your true face, become one with the crowd - why not...? If you’ll merge into crowd, reach it’s heart and only then reveal your True Essense in order to strike the bastards’ sanctuary, isn’t it worth the cost? Remember - Mistery is Power... The assault has to be sudden - strike the enemy’s back when he doesn’t expect your atack! You’ll get any positive result only this way...
Understand one simple thing - consuming the church, you break the Law. And going against the Law is impossible, especially in conservative Europe. Exhausting all your strength in order to change the Society and it’s world outlook, to change the Law (because if Church may overcome it, we - can’t. They’re capable of everything, we’re capable of nothing. At least, while now), then people would understand the necessity of christianity’s obliteration themselves. And arsons is useless waste of time, it won’t bring any positive outcome. Yes, many Norwegian churches are erased, the Church lost huge money, but these losses are nothing in comparison to that profit which was gained thanks to people, scared by these consumings, who consider them as pure barbarism (basically, they’re right here) and erroneously think that only Church is able to grant them «salvation»... 
Have you seen these moronic TV preachers? Have you been attacked by various idiots spreading the «word of christ» on the streets? Then you must understand that people burning down the churches (and being imprisoned after that) have to direct all their hatred towards such liars instead of soulless and sometimes very beautiful buildings. Christian church always can be turned to heathen one. Building is just building. Church is also nothing more than bulding, built for the gathering of believers. So what’s the difference what gods exactly are worhipped by those who go there? To destroy the church and then build it again - does it make any sense?! 
Trying to change the minds of «spreaders of the word of christ» is meaningless and impossible aim. «Judeo-christianity can be compared to thorny shrub - attacking it’s top you’ll get injured yourself, but after engaging it’s root this shrub will die. Therefore attack the very root!» - these words of Varg Vikernes are absolutely right. So, in the first place we must fight the Church itself. The struggle should be also directed by Laws, Laws which we have to create in the nearest future! We can’t let them destroy and enslave our world, our Earth and Mother Nature! So don’t stay lethargic, fight! But remember that violence as the only way won’t harm our enemies - they’ll repute you the barbarian and stay ignorant to your attempts of hurting them. Or you’ll be imprisoned. Do you really need this...?
