UPDATE: Apparently, the site is one of many written by someone called Mike Hockney, who is a bit of a fantasist, a possible cult-leader…and possibly a bit of a nut-case.
I’ve come across one of the sister-sites before and they also served up the same sort of popular gnostic ideas – Abrahamism is evil, Jehovah is Satan, the material world is opposed to the spiritual, organized religion is the eternal enemy….
I wonder who/what is really behind the website…
ORIGINAL POST
A blog calling itself the ArmageddonConspiracy purports to be the messenger of the New World Order.
It claims that the NWO is an excellent thing and not to be feared as Christian fundamentalists and anarcho-capitalist libertarians would have you believe.
The NWO is simply the Enlightenment, the continuation of the philosophy of meritocracy, sociability, and reason, handed down from Hermes Trismegistus to Pythagorus and Plato….and revived in the 18th century in Europe.
Who could be against it, save Abrahamic fanatics, who still need savior gods and devils to rescue and terrorize them…
In other words, join us, say the Illuminati. Get on social media and start your own revolution against the old word order.
I looked for a contact email address, because, for alleged Illuminati, the website carried some surprising errors, and I figured it would only be polite to tell them.
But I couldn’t find any contact address.
So, with hope that someone will pop over and read my post, let me take it upon myself to be kind to an Illuminatus today and diagnose why they have become confused…. in at least one thing.
ArmageddonConspiracy claims that Christianity is mistaken, because if God rewards those who accept him and punishes those who reject him, why is it that God’s supposed enemy, Satan, does God’s work for him, i.e., does the punishing?
It would be more logical if Satan rewarded the enemies of God, right?
Well, no.
Only in the fantasies of an Illuminatus, who thinks men can become God with a little effort and a Facebook page.
The point of Satan, as he is represented in the Bible, is that he is a deceiver and that his nature is perverse and envious.
So the notion that Satan is somehow “obliged” to reward those who accept him is based on the faulty assumption that Evil, which is based in treachery and falsity, must somehow conform to “just” notions of reciprocity and keep its word to its followers.
Elementary error number one, Illuminatus.
Elementary error two.
Satan and God are not invertible propositions or binaries at all. They do not exist ontologically in the same way. Hence their relationship is not inverse or proportioned to each other in any way.
Syllogisms which run “If God x, then Satan y,” don’t obtain. Sorry.
Elementary error three. God does not torture those who reject him nor does he will that anyone be tortured, although Bible verses have been misinterpreted that way.
The state of not accepting God is in itself the state of being enslaved to Satan, per Christianity. The punishment is carried within the act of sin itself, which is why the Bible says the wages of “sin” is death.
Since all men sin, the only way out, per Christianity, is through grace….God’s love.
That is where the savior…or avatar…comes in…that cheap, vulgar externalization of the Godhead that the Illumined ones reject haughtily.
Reading the blog made me, not for the first time, a bit sad for these so-called enlightened ones, for whom Prometheus/Lucifer is the true God.
Human beings however wise in our own eyes, do not have a hundredth part of the wisdom of the angels, even (or especially) the fallen ones.
While we preen ourselves as “illumined,” the light we grasp is only the “shining” of vain-glory….not the light of the true sun…
But that’s enough metaphysics and mythology for this blog-post.
In another, I will try to correct the gnostic confusions about the identity of Satan on ArmageddonConspiracy.
