The law of love—the law of justice—the law of brotherhood—the law of equality—the law of equal rates and taxes—the law of equal rights and privileges—all these high sounding things are nothing more than dreams. They don’t really exist They are only shadows of the mind. There is nothing substantial in them. They are Idols—strings of words, words, words on words. They never were truths and they never can be. They are against the very nature of things.
"O some must watch and some must sleep, and some must perish slowly; and some must weep and some must reap, till all things go to glory."
You can talk of "human brotherhood" until you're black and blue; no law of heaven or earth, or hell, can ever make it true.

There is no Jew Jehovah

There is no golden heaven
To go to when you die;
Now IS your chance
To bear you well—
Defeat is better pay—
And life is little else than hell
When man is old and grey.

Hell Is paved with law and Justice.
Christs were made to fetter fools.
Nothing could be more treacherous and untruthful than the Epistles of St. Paul. He is the embodiment of fallacy, the very pattern of super normal deceit and cunning. All is false about him, his logic, his legends, his learning, his arguments, his morality. Even his personality is a pretense.
The tendency of modern science. politics and religion is to reunite their forces—as in the days of long ago—for the complete and perpetual, mental, moral and physical subjugation of mankind. The scientist becomes the priest—pope—moral inquisitor.

"The rules of life are not to be found in Korans, Bibles, Decalogues and Constitutions, but rather the rules of decadence and death. The "law of laws" is not written in Hebrew consonants or upon tables of brass and stone, but in every man’s own heart. He who obeys any standard of right and wrong, but the one set up by his own conscience, betrays himself into the hands of his enemies, who are ever laying in wait to bind him to their millstones. And generally a man’s most dangerous enemies are his neighbors."
You must develop a rebellious heart towards everything that oppresses you or keeps you down.

"Behind all Kings and Presidents
all Government and Law,
Are army-corps and cannoneers
to hold the world in awe
Just as the spider weaves his silky web, to lure flies into the larder of his banqueting hall, in order that he may at his leisure, pick the flesh from off their bones; so, deceitful Ideals are cunningly woven by dexterous political spiders, to capture and exploit swarms of human flies.
Go to, develop your powers of resistance and aggression. Every man in our opinion should be a warrior. Each morning he should go out as a fighting man into a battle field.
Dogmas base—and wicked gospels,
Treacherous logic—shallow learning,
Prophets false—insane immortals
And coward theories of discerning.
Too long the dead hand has been permitted to sterilize living thought—too long, right and wrong, good and evil, have been inverted by false prophets.
"Laws" and "Rules" imposed on you From days of old renown. Are not intended for your "good" But for your crushing down. Then dare to rend the chains that bind And to yourself be true.

"Unfitness for war is unfitness for existence."
Thus smith the Evil Teacher—the False One: "Give unto Caesar the things that are Caesars; and unto God the things that are God's." But I say ‘unto you—
KEEP YOUR MONEY.

Quotes and Sayings
"Government and society are two distinct entities and care must be taken not to confound them. Society is the growth of mutual tolerance, friendship, and obligation; but government arises from physical force applied by the strong to the control and exploitation of vanquished foes."
"There is nothing inherently sacred about moral codes. Like the wooden idols of long ago, they are all the work of human hands, and what man has made, man can destroy."
"Hard, continuous, methodical labor destroys courage, saps vitality, and demoralizes character. It tames and subdues men, just as it tames and subdues the wild steer or the young colt."
"Christ is my redeemer,"—
I heard men rave and shout,
But where is their "redemption"?
What is it all about?
"The strong must ever rule the weak,
is grim primordial law—
On earth's broad racial treshing floor,
the meek are beaten straw—
Then ride to Power o'er foemens necks;
let nothing bar your way.
IF you are FIT you'll rule and reign,
is the logic of to-day."
Life is combat, remember, and not a sunday school.

This earth is a vast whirl of warring atoms—a veritable revolving cock-pit. Each molecule, each animal, fights for its life. You must fight for yours, or surrender.

A painted idol on a tree—
Dripping tears and gore—
A painted idol is to me—
And it is nothing more.
What is grand in a horny hand?
What is free in a bended knee?
What is brave in a pauper grave?
What is bold in a lack of gold?
Man's highest moral duty is to increase his own powers and evolve his own spirit.
The religion of "The Eagle and the Serpent" is the religion of the Plains of Troy. We do not found a new religion. We revive the true one. "This is not said for Long Ears."

Is Lord of Things.

In the balance weighed and wanting,
The evil reign of Christ is o'er,
2,000 years of hell condemn him
He shall crush our souls no more.
"How down the False idols
That cumber the land."
For strife and struggle
man is born;
But sheep and lambs
Are always shorn.
Field, factory. office and mine. These are the miserable ways of life. Conflict is the divine way—the noble way—the way of the gods. Woe unto those who give up their lives to servitude. Verily I say unto you they shall perish utterly. The curse of the gods is upon them and their seed for a thousand generations.
To bleat and pray,
And live like clods.
Is not the way.
Of men or gods
Search the Scriptures—yea’ verily—search the Scriptures of the Jews, for in them you shall find eternal damnation.

For two and two are four,
And the gospel tale is fiction,
Fiction, fiction, nothing more.
I do not preach wisdom. Too much wisdom is an evil. And what is wisdom? There is altogether too much of the snake and fox in modern man, too little of the eagle and the lion.
What men call virtue is really their submissiveness, their degeneracy, their damnation. The world groans and staggers under the awful load of its goodness, its morality, its justice, and so forth. O, that the Mighty One would break loose from the Great Captivity and deliver us from this frightful paradise.
Live and love and take and give.
And laugh and fight and sigh;
For, it's all there is of life to live,
And all of death to die.

The high pontifs—thus they orate grandiloquently: "Have a care for religion, pay your just taxes, and love your blessed Saviour." But I say unto you: "Beware of the Evil One."
Now is your appointed time,
This very hour and day,
To love and laugh and feast and fight.
And LIVE before you’re grey.
What dragons foul
Would hold the hoards
Ever and ever
But for the swords?
Rationalists in religion are numerous but Rationalists in politics are few. Nevertheless salvation by politics is quite as much of an insanity and a dream as salvation by the watery blood of a circumcised Jew. When his faith is analyzed the average Rationalist is even more irrational than the wildest Supernaturalist. What is politics but priestcraft in a new mask and cloak?
Break loose from hell.
Break loose I say,
Christ's evil empire
In ruins lay.
Dreams of peace
Are all a Lie,
Peace comes forever
When we die.
The “great god Bud" of India.
We call a "wooden Joss"—
But a painted wooden Jesus
Is—"Our Saviour on the Cross"

Let nations prostrate tall,
Bring out the royal diadem
And crown him lord of all.
Statesmen mock and swindle,
And judges work you woe,
Laws are the snares of Satan
And Christ's your mortal foe.
Ah, "the Law and the Prophets!"
By law the liberties of men are over thrown. By law every wickedness is legalized. By law every bondage is made possible. By law every tax, every tribute is enforced and every iniquity upheld and emphasized.
And all this is eminently wise. and beautiful, and altogether lovely. Thus saith the Prophets—the Prophets—the Prophets.
But I say unto you:
The Law crucifies; the Prophets lie.
THE TRUE RELIGION.
If one man smite you on the cheek,
Don’t turn the other, soft and meek,
But smash him back, and lay him low.
War for war, and blow for blow.
