BELIEF IN GOD THRIVES ON LOW SELF-ESTEEM

When you serve God you are doing it to make yourself happy. You are not really serving him at all. The power to be happy lies within yourself and real happiness is won by drawing upon these inner resources for God is a crutch, a crutch manufactured by prayer and trusting in him and serving him, and so is religion. Using God and religion is as abnormal as using crutches when you can walk without them.

Persons making use of God and religion think that they are not strong enough on their own and need supernatural assistance. This is a thought that stems from cynicism about themselves and lack of regard for their abilities and can only be harmful and by implication it makes them cynical about others too and leads to prejudice against everyone and especially unbelievers. You need to change your attitude to life to help yourself and not resort to prayer or magic. And if you need to attach yourself to a perfect God who cannot do wrong then people are not good enough for you.

Belief in God and religion are evils – you must be master of your own psychological destiny. Your subconscious mind is far smarter than you are. It can create books that you read in your dreams. When you refuse to think rationally and carefully you are degrading yourself and the mind knows that on a deep level and the result is anger and fear and guilt which cause every problem in us. You are rebelling against what you are, a person that is meant to be rational, and you are attacking your self-esteem, and self-esteem is the originator of all that is good in humanity. You must harmonise your intellect, your intelligence, with your emotions. The disharmony between your intelligence and your emotions is the origin of all evil and mental sickness of which evil is a manifestation. I’ll get to the point: belief in God donates more strength to evil and any good it has done has taken place in spite of it and not because of it and there would be more good without it.

To value yourself because God values you is really to give God all the value for that is who you are trying to please. That is robbing you of the love you should and can give to yourself and you should value yourself because you see your value. Therefore to think you need God is a serious mistake. To give God the love you could give yourself is an indication of fear so loving God is intrinsically evil as is allowing yourself to be tempted to love him. It is always bad for then you are afraid of God that he will be displeased if you ignore him and you are afraid to love yourself. We know that fear and guilt are the cause of all human evil and are responsible for everything bad that humans have ever done or will do and accordingly the system that sponsors them is asking to be considered responsible for all this suffering and terror. It is unjust discrimination to prefer God to yourself or others or both.
