I Am An Atheist

I'm such an atheist that I wrote my own ideology in an attempt to combine the three Abrahamic religions. the most recent version can be found in the facebook group [u]the Oath of human citizenship[/u] https://www.facebook.com/groups/2121909808137389/ , and the original can be found in another fb group, if desired. It is 23 pages so far. It starts off like this:
"Religious Freedom
[c=#BF0000]Disclaimer: The reader confirms they are aware this work is only an ongoing attempt at combining an individual’s interpretation of the most at conflict religions; into one. Though unnerving; at times; effort is being made that it is accurate, remember that the author has read almost none of any of the sacred texts of any of them, and refuses to based on the concept(s) of here-say(news by letter), changes to the text, and the elitism of having to learn a new language just to read it. So, this is purely observational with the comedy of logic added for effect.[/c]
I consent to be open-minded to what it says. and that further meditation on these ideas towards
their improvement, is necessary.
__yes __no (please check one)

Let’s see how long it takes to mix all of the Abrahamic religions!, as a start."

interest to build a monorail and the other half be considered as a payment on their principle
placed back into municipal bonds. Working with them to pay off their debt. Upon turning 35
Samael will be a billionaire. With training from Siena College toward using his(er) wealth to
improve society in Saintly ways. Samael could live off the interest on this money alone and
intends to do so while using half the proceeds to accomplish freeing NYS and eventually the
world market(s). But this must be done in stages and very gradually. So that it can never fail and
his(er) opinion of it only influenced in positive ways. In a way Samael has already done it.
Now the worlds are so incongruous that in World 003 Samael is a billionaire but in world 004
(this one?) Samael is usually devoid of funds.
Lesson - WTF!
At age 23 in July Samael was able to participate in a triple blind study. (s)he designed the study
and got a professor (s)he’d met in a class while in college to collaborate with Ualbany to assess
the medical value of one of the active ingredients contained in Dr. Sebi’s bio-mineral tonic.
Samael was able to ingest a gram of pure ibogaine. Under the guise it was Sass. The experience
(s)he had there was so mind blowing that Samael knew (s)he’d seen his(er) minds understanding
of OUC. The presence of his(er) wife there in disguise as a stranger/commoner is both crazy and
beyond Samael’s wildest dreams. She went by the name Kit in that setting.
Lesson – make your own opportunity
Samael had also significantly influenced that camping venue in previous encounters which
resulted in their building a stage on a field in the back. This is part of why Samael recommended
that the addiction treatment program have a retreat there. Since the use of ibogaine has been
linked to a never use again mentality Samael also had them do this for that reason. For 23 days
after that Samael didn’t smoke. Another reason Samael chose to help them was (s)he could sense
that the owners of that property were natives and followers of the teachings of the rainbow
house.
Lesson – there are other ways to look at it.
Evidence: in proving what Samael is compared to others there are a few telltale ‘ that can be
conducted.

• When viewed through heat-vision Samael’s heat signature doesn’t appear
as a typical human would.
• Samael’s blood is soluble in water.
• Samael’s DNA often contains more than a double helix structure would be
expected to.
• Samael’s perspective is rarely normal/as expected
• When someone stares at Samael (s)he will usually/always look them
directly in the eye.
On the church of the Internet (CTI):
The idea behind the Church of the Internet is to provide access to all internet users to the sacred
texts, teachings, and practices of every religion in order to foster an atmosphere of tolerance by
stressing the idea and goal of religion, which this author interprets as developing a connection
with some higher power, instead of the sometimes divisive effect of religion which, at times, has
proven itself volatile. It is expected that by allowing individuals uncensored access to all
religions they will be able to best find what religion(s) and practices best allows them to connect
with “Our universal creator”. Someday this Church will exist and the declaration of Buddhist
Mentalism will perhaps be its initial creed. It will be open for submission for ratification and
revision to the entire community of the CTI. However, this first declaration will be used as a

guide for all other submissions. In theory approval of submissions will be left in the hands of 4
representatives 1 each from Islam, Judaism, Christianity, & the UN. Direct democracy will be
the principle upheld in ratification of any future amendments; likewise, popular vote will be used
to thin the number of submissions should that volume become great. This is because anything
that can reason is able to gain insight that could be shared with the reasoning world for its
benefit.
Further, the Church/freedom of thought forum will provide a discussion forum for all issues that
its worshippers would like to explore. Religioustolerance.org is a model after which the site
could be, initially, designed.
On capitalism:
There is evidence that Samael was Joseph Engels in one of his(er) past lives. Those and his(er)
similar teachings in this incarnation must, therefore, be considered. If an economy were truly a
free market would be one thing, but the main/established market players (the aristocracy)
crowding out competition is scarcely a free market.
If an economy is based on preparedness and necessities for survival/basic recreation for mental
health and agriculture (domestic productivity) is one thing, an economy that only generates
revenue surrounding extreme events such as holidays, viewer based events, and
implied/propagandized product advertising; the concept of you need this in order to compete
with an unrealistic almost “plastic” model (the jones’ syndrome). The basic concept of individual
worth should not be how to show your yourself off, but instead to best achieve a sense of
comfort in oneself such that people appreciate your comfort. Thus, capitalism has failed.
In terms of the cost of food being lower for lesser quality foods, certainly this is not good for
humanity; as a whole. Just as certainly the mutual implementation of this food market supply
strategy by the government, health care ind., and corporations, has resulted in an unsustainable,
increasingly in the red for the central government’s coffers; Ultimately enslaving the working
person (The proletariat) by a bunch of rich, often old fuckers that barely pay taxes. Capitalism
fails again! A flat tax thus is the only appropriate choice. Indeed, if everyone paid equally
everyone’s income tax might be as low as 10%. So what?, all in the name of inequality and
money.
Regarding health care and providing for fair and equal access to all necessities of life (medical
care, healthy food, transportation, and education) These fundamentals could be the limit of
required necessary provisions. Yet supplemental services in mental health care, addiction
treatment, anger management education, and crisis/conflict management/mediation strategies
might be in the best interest of society to also provide. The benefit gained in reduced cost,
easement of stress, and less financial burden will inevitably improve society. Why then is social
equality/universal access heralded as communism, when in reality it could be considered only the
guarantee of access to services for all?
• Currency:

A currency system based on debt is ultimately just a series of I.O.U’s being passed around,
constantly dependent on the assumption of that debt will ever go away. Instead a currency based
on actual value in the form of assets, technological productivity, share of a particular market, or
bullion. Would ensure that a currency, has real value not implied/interest based value.

• A privatized/corporate central bank:

The concept of allowing only a few dozen individuals to control the entire monetary supply in an
economy is fraught with hazards. In this way the aristocracy is further entrenched in protecting

their own wealth at everyone else’s expense. Progress is halted by dump trucks of money and for
even more dump truck of money.
Slavery/addiction/being indentured:
Many religious systems have an acceptable or justifiable view of slavery, at least in their original
forms. Though in the modern world slavery is not tolerated nor allowed, the universality of
slavery’s presence in many religions/paradigms indicates the need to consider its origin. There
are necessities in life that when not readily available people provide money, favors, and/or some
type of labor to acquire. Based upon this inherent truth, is it discernible that addiction to or desire
for the necessities and unneeded vices of life may have led to the first or at least most extreme
cases of indebtedness. So, if the first form of “currency” was derived from indebtedness, then
when that debt accrued by an individual became great enough, might this have resulted in slave
labor/being indentured to pay off debt. An examination of each religions’ and the human
principle of this indentured model will be presented below.
Judaism: There is a code of slavery in Judaism, the principles contained therein seem to lean
more toward being indentured than slavery as it seems to be understood in the modern era. The
“slave” is, generally considered and treated more like a servant than how one might expect a
slave to be treated. The servant’s needs and comfort are provided for and every 7 years the
opportunity/re-evaluation of the “slavery” is reconsidered and the servant will eventually, be set
free.
Islam:
Islam too has a principle of slavery, Yet it also allows and encourages the liberation of slavery.
Similarly, though there is disagreement among translations, there is an implication that slavery
being acceptable only when someone is already enslaved; this indicates that slavery shouldn’t be
practiced nor tolerated.
Furthermore, the idea of slavery as a means of paying one’s debt is implied and the concept of
manumission contracts- an agreement of having worked enough to regain freedom is seemingly
fundamental to human rights. There is also great stress on the humane treatment of slaves and
they are the property of the right hand, implying a protectionist stance. The protection of one’s
reputation as well as of the individual that is owned.
Christianity:
Though Christianity doesn’t reiterate the principle of the treatment of slaves, one might think
that the principles of “slavery” in the old testament would apply to Christianity as well. The
depiction of good as light and bad as dark, may have led to the depreciated view of dark-skinned
persons; such that some Christian’s felt justified in having slaves.
Despite the declaration of the treatment of slaves in the Old Testament the lack of restatement of
those principles in the New Testament, even though slavery was quite widespread during both
Jesus’ time and the period of early Christianity seems to have resulted in a lack of understand as
to how to treat the lowest socioeconomic humans in society. Just as contradictory is the principle
of accepting everyone as Jesus did and the occurrence of the slave environment in North
America, though general acceptance and fair treatment is promoted the actual practice by
America’s “Christian” slaveholders seem to be incongruous. Somehow, they lost their way.
However, it must be recalled that many of the slaves that Christian Americans purchased were
actively sold by their fellow Africans to the Europeans and then to Americans. Capitalism strikes
again!
On finding a connection:
It is obvious that different societies are the product of different cultures, belief systems,

governing systems and social structures. Therefore, to expect the institutions of one society and
its culture, belief systems, governing systems, and social structures to be applicable to another/all
other cultural or societal regions is, at best, foolish.
Additionally, there are numerous ways to find a connection with Our Universal Creator, whether
prayer, meditation, self-denial, fasting, charity, or community service, to name a few, are
employed to provide a sense of purpose and connection with a higher power is of no
consequence; whatever works for each person is best for that person. The only form of
connecting with Our Universal Creator that Buddhist Mentalism does not condone, although it is
a personal choice, is self-mutilation (especially cutting).
A breakdown:

• stretching – many forms of prayer center around finding balance with
one’s surroundings and life in general. Some employ yoga, prostrating one’s self,
meditation/ pose meditation, signing the cross etc.
• worship- in some religions a follower of that religion will make prayer
toward Mecca, prayer while kneeling, signing the cross, celebrating historically impactful
days and many other ways. Samael seems to imply that yoga or constant stretching of the
body will most effectively align an individual with the universal energy that is our
existence. Though all the practices as listed above have their own benefits.
• sacrament(s)- Samael chooses the meaning of solemn oaths; see the
oath/prayer section
• In terms of a sign of peace the equivalent of “god bless/peace be with you”
would be “may the force be with you” while showing the Vulcan hand symbol. adding
live long and prosper to the sign. Technically, that meets the definition of a sacrament!.
Regarded as an outward and visible sign of inward and spiritual divine grace. Seriously,
though.
On socialism:
Many Capitalists believe that socialism is a path to communism, this is used as a scare tactic so
no one (those brainwashed against communism during the Cold War) supports the road to
overthrowing the Aristocracy that rules and partially enslaves the world.
Yet the postulation that Socialism is contrary to capitalism is a flawed perspective. Socialism is
putting the means of production in the hands of the community and the citizens/workforce.
Whereas, the citizens/workers would choose what, how much, and of what quality to produce,
there still must be a buyer, thus capitalism is intrinsic to any and all economies/production.
Conversely, communism is putting the means of production in the hands of the community in a
governmental control model. The concept that freedom/individual choice would be limited by
such a model, still denies the principles of there always needing to be a buyer as well as
producer.
This Oath therefore recommends democratic socialism which is the placement of the means of
production into the hands of the citizenry while providing equal and fair access to all citizens to
the necessities of life. Still a market economy. In the model of Democratic Socialism, there
wouldn’t really be an aristocracy. The aristocracy could be overthrown with a combination of a

flat tax, the preservation/cost reduction model rather than the commercialization/increasing cost
model of healthcare that would result from universal healthcare, the guarantee of affordable
access to education, employment, healthcare, and public transportation and the positive gains to
diet and the environment that giving power to the citizens would have, is clearly better than the
“free market” capitalism we are stuck in/forced to perpetuate now.
Part-time workers’ unions:
In ensuring the fair treatment of all citizens the right of access to the benefits of employment
(healthcare, education, savings/debt payment, and higher education cost reimbursement) there is
a need to provide part time workers with the protection of this access. One solution might be
County wide part-time worker labor unions. There would of course be dues, union community
events, fundraisers, etc. Might the potential for building community and improved mental health
be the better option?
In Closing:
The intention of The Oath of Human Citizenship is to provide a simple rational answer to a
problem with no outright answer at all. We must each find our own answer(s) through
introspection, rational thought, knowledge gathering, and life experience. To do otherwise would
belie the very thing that sets us apart on this earth. So do harm to none as you live your life and
karma willing no harm should come to you.”.
