O dearie me ..............think again..........................
“The God of the Theologians is simply an imaginary
power, un loup garou as d’Holbach expressed it – a
power which has never yet manifested itself. Our chief
aim is to deliver humanity of this nightmare, to teach man
virtue for its own sake, and to walk in life relying on himself
instead of leaning on a theological crutch, that for countless
ages was the direct cause of nearly all human misery.”
“Remember the sum of human misery will never
be diminished unto that day when the better portion of
humanity destroys in the name of Truth, morality, and
universal charity, the altars of their false gods.”
“…He who reads our Buddhist scriptures written
for the superstitious masses will fail to find in them a demon
so vindictive, unjust, so cruel and so stupid as the celestial
tyrant upon whom the Christians prodigally lavish their servile
worship and on whom their theologians heap those perfections
that are contradicted on every page of their Bible.”
“In other words we believe in MATTER alone, in matter as
visible nature and matter in its invisibility as the invisible
omnipresent omnipotent Proteus with its unceasing motion
which is its life, and which nature draws from herself since
she is the great whole outside of which nothing can exist.”
“The existence of matter then is a fact; the existence of motion
is another fact, their self existence and eternity or indestructibility
is a third fact. And the idea of pure spirit as a Being or an Existence –
give it whatever name you will – is a chimera, a gigantic absurdity.”
(A Mahatma of the Himalayas)
