"God
is..."
(by
Kai Mathias Stalhammar)
“What
is good? – Everything that increases the feeling of power in man, the will
to power, power itself.
What
is bad? – Everything that is born of weakness.
What
is happiness? – The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
Not contentedness,
but more power! Not peace, but war; not virtue, but valour!
The weak
and the misshapen shall perish – first principle of our love of fellow-men.
And they should be given every possible assistance…
What
is more harmful than any vice? – Active pity for all the abnormal and all
the weak…”
Friedrich
Nietzsche
“The
Antichrist”

No, don’t
get me wrong, these three dots in the article’s title don’t imply ‘asshole’
or anything like that. Actually, such title as ‘Who is God’ could fit it
better… and worse in the same time.
Perhaps,
after reading few articles featured in the previous issues, you could think
of me as of militant atheist. Well, you’re wrong.
So what do
I believe in? Do I have a god of mine to worship? Yes, I do.
Deities…
there’re lots and lots of them, with great variety of names (Jesus, Buddah,
Allah, Odin, Thor, Surtur, Hel, Wotan, Czernoboh, Morana, Ea, Marduk, etc
etc etc…), however no one of them is of interest to me. All these names
and creatures they imply, appear as an offspring of one’s imagination,
and therefore may excite me only in the shape of entertaining reading before
sleep.
I, and only
I, am God! I worship and make a sacrifice (metaphorically speaking, of
course) only to myself. I have right to be in charge of my fate and judge
my deeds myself, decide what is ‘good’ and what is ‘bad’, and what is ‘evil’
(here I completely agree with the advocates of hedonism, who consider everything
that brings pleasure and boon to be ‘good’, and everything that brings
harm, suffering and sorrow to be ‘evil’). I’m not chained with any moral
limits, I don’t have to follow and worship anything that abandons me (religion)
– especially, in terms of money. I live free life, lending an ear to my
instincts, I don’t restrain anything that is natural, that was given to
me by Mother Nature.
The only
god that exists is me, my Mother – Nature, and Father – Cosmos. Besides
these three REAL “gods”, there’s nothing else you should worship!
True Personality
doesn’t have to follow anyone and consider anyone’s words to be a Truth.
Each of us should be searching for his own Truth, his own way in life,
trusting no one but himself, his natural instincts, his heart. No doubts
that true Personality has to be well educated, but, while reading any book,
keep in mind that author may be not that honest with you; you shouldn’t
completely agree with anything and care of anyone’s unflattering opinion
regarding your works or activities – of course, if you’re sure that your
opponent is wrong.
To be a sceptic?
No way! To be a supersticious person? No way either! Going with the stream
and making up to the Society isn’t the best way as well – Society has to
make up to you! Don’t fear the lack of understanding – it’s always hard
in the beginning, especially if you try to discover something new or special
and hold the light for somebody. Most of Outstanding Personalities weren’t
understood during their life and became ‘oustanding’ only after their human
decline… and we should change this principle – we have only one life to
live, hence we have to use all it’s values instead of cherishing hopes
to gain anything on the ‘other side’. No one knows what happens to us after
death – either our mind dies and bodies of ours keep rotting six feet under,
being nothing but a food for graveworms, or we are carries to the other
dimensions, or we’re born again (no way!) – there’s a lot of various versions
regarding it… and all of them may be wrong! Therefore, why should be hope
for better existence after death instead of opening the way in life, achieving
our aims?! And finally (and most important) – whatever you believe in,
you must not talk about it at the ‘every single corner’ – it will only
harm you, since there’re always spies among your listeners, ready and willing
to denounce your views to your worst enemies. Thus you lose the main trump
card – mystery, which always attracts people, interested in your personality,
and spurns those who are considered to be enemies of yours!

For many,
many times I became furious while listening to numerous sermons concerning
various “les miserables”… People pray for this scum’s salvation, donates
money… and no one of them can’t understand that a man of sound mind should
think and take care of himself only! Why should I give a fuck to suffering
children of Africa? Let them die now and here – what do I have to do with
it??? Perhaps, you will call me an ‘eghoist’, however it seems to be a
compliment for me. Eghoism is truly a splendid thing, of course if wasn’t
not lead to the limit of absurdity. Is is bad if one takes care only of
himself (and his family if he has it)?! And he definitely doesn’t have
to look after anything else, no doubts. I won’t ever give alms to a pauper
– I’d better bereave him of the money he ‘earned’! Wanna live in a better
way? Work, not beg! To cadge is the most shabby act a man can do. True
Personality never begs, it TAKES! Such thing as altruism seems to be loathsome
to me; since, in addition, it’s linked with christianity! A “sinner” walks
down the street and sees the beggar. He is a ‘religious man’ and, hence,
he knows that his duty is to give him few bucks. He will expiate at least
a couple of sins he commited this way… Perhaps, it might sound too extreme,
but in my view all the paupers and all the begging non-entities have to
be perished. Thus we will get rid of scum, which is utterly worthless.
Man
should take care of himself and worship his own Ego and Mother Nature only.
And
these are the principal laws we have to follow.
WHO
NEEDS GOD IF THERE’S MAN?
