WHY PRAYER OFFENDS AGAINST HUMANKIND
Prayer is wrong because it implies there is a force that can stop suffering but
which is right to let it happen which is a direct assault on human dignity. It
implies that if we invent a pill that makes everybody free from sickness and
ageing and death and from evil intentions that we shouldn’t avail of it which
clarifies that prayer and spirituality put doctrine and allegedly supernatural
forces before us. Some object that if life were perfect it would be boring. But
that is because nature reduces the pleasure we take in something if we have too
much of it. But what if our human nature could be altered to maintain the
pleasure? Life would then be anything but boring.
Prayer contradicts the fact that faith should never come before people - ever.
Belief in magic spells or prayers that are intended to get answers from Heaven
is foolishness because all you need to do to be happy is do what this book tells
you. Magic seeks after things like sex and money and does not work when it
cannot give its practitioners what is better, the philosophy in this book. It
does not give them an unusual rationality. Occultists say magic has to be in
accord with your deepest desires and therefore the most important ones to work,
for desire is an ingredient. The fact that knowledge not magic is needed shows
that magic cannot work if this rule is true. There is no wisdom in wasting
magical power for it would be handy in an absolute emergency so this abuse would
be black magic. Magic and prayer would be pacts with the Devil if there were one
for the true evil being is the one who schemes to destroy wisdom.
Spells and prayers are evil for what you get is the product of a domino effect.
I mean you would not have won that car last night had not the woman next door
survived her suicide attempt for every event changes everything else. They are
fanaticism for they try to get you some benefit at the expense of other people
which is terrible for you need absolute proof that a good power is answering
your prayers and you cannot have this proof. Appearances deceive which is where
the benefits come from. The are not benefits then are gained at a terrible
price: the approval of fanaticism.
