    INTRODUCTION

    In its most popular form, nihilism says that there is no reason why the universeexists and no goal towards which it is moving; nothing is of real value; human

    existence is totally meaningless; human beings are biological accidents; there isno life after death and suicide could therefore be a more rational approach than

    the desire to go on living. As far as values, morals and ethics are concerned,nihilism makes no rules and draws no lines. The whole of life is an exercise in

    futility, and personal satisfaction at any given moment is sufficient ustification foranything any individual chooses to do or not to do.! " #ohn $lanchard

    Why do I trust the convictions of my mind? This is a profound question that has

    never been asked by skeptics, critics, mystics, and atheists because they are venerating

    their minds as the determining factor of what truth is. But it is a common fact that truth1

    wi never be changed by our beief or disbeief ! truth is independent from ourconvictions.

    "n the other e#treme, men are easiy deceived to beieve something that they have

    not even dare to question its truthfuness and vaidity, as $.%. $hoades righty observed&,

    'we have a but ost the art of meditation and thinking.( With this thought in mind, I

    am prodded to ponder some possibiities on how reaity came into e#istence. I wi not

    meditate on the psychotic notion that 'a things are iusion,( or even argue against

    those who beieved on it, ike what $.). *prou stated, + 'my argument is addressed to

    peope who do exist.( -emphasis added

    It woud perhaps be appropriate first to define the above word ! scientism.*cientism is the e#tension of scientific theories to a supposedy compete phiosophy of

    ife and meaning. It primariy refers to evoutionary theory/for it has been used as the

    0scientific basis of abortionism, aggressive miitarism, communism, economic

    imperiaism, euthanasia, genocide, infanticide, 2a3ism, 2iet3schean racism, se#ua

    promiscuity and perversions, etc. These vioence and misery were brought about by this

    4arwinian doctrine that man is merey an 'advance anima.( This is one of the greatest

    hoa#es ever invented and beieved by man5 it was admitted by evoutionists themseves

    *cience, by modern definition, is systemati3ed body of knowedge based on facts

    which are observabe, demonstrabe and repeatabe. %voution is a batant contradiction

    to a these criteria of a true science, and the arguments for it are simpy -to borrow ).*.6ewis phrase7 'compicated attempt to avoid the obvious.( Thus, evoution ike 6yes

    doctrine of uniformitarianism8is a 'science fasey so caed.(9

    *ince evoution is not science, it is not surprising to know that it contradicts the

    two great aws of thermodynamics which are the most secure generai3ations about the

    universe that e#ist in science: the aw of conservation of matter;energy and the aw of

    increasing entropy. Their impications are not ony obvious to the phiosophic mind but

    aso to the common mind.

    The first aw tes us that neither energy nor matter in the universe can be created

    or destroyed.

    naturaisticay from non>iving chemicas.1+The probabiity of its chance assembage

    was cacuated by *ir Ered Foye,1/ and it turns out to be ess than one in ten raised to

    the forty thousandth powers. *cott C. Fuse noted that mathematicians generay

    consider an event with a probabiity of ess than one in ten raised to fiftieth powers as

    having a 3ero probabiity.17 Thus, mathematics further proves evoution highyimprobabe.

    *ome may ob=ect at the outset that the second aw of thermodynamics appies

    ony to cosed systems. But the fact is that there is no such thing as cosed or isoated

    system in nature. G in earth are open to the energy from the sun, a things are open

    systems, 'for a fesh is as grass, and a the gory of man as the fower of grass. The

    grass withereth, and the fower thereof faeth away(.18

    In any case, the criteria for increasing order are not satisfied by any supposed

    evoutionary system. Hnike what the Big Bang theory advocates aege, energy aonecannot produce order and growth, there must aways be a directing program and

    conversion mechanism, regardess of whether or not the system is an open system.19

    RELIGIONISM

    'To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word,

    it is because there is no light in them.( > Isaiah :&

    MWG$2I2A: ou must read this artice from the beginning to the end without skipping

    a singe word. ou must try to understand this whoe artice in one reading. "therwise

    you wi find yoursef not as yoursef but as someone ese.N

    14/34

    G man is sefish. G that you think and a that you do utimatey revove

    around yoursef. Whether you admit it or not, a that you did had been done with the

    purpose of satisfying yoursef. ou do what you do because you want to do it.

    ou do what is right in your own eyes even though you aready know that

    sometimes what you are doing is obviousy wrong. ou =ust do what makes you fee

    comfortaby free in a your choices as far as it gives you a sense of sef>satisfaction and

    sef>fufiment.

    Those things which you do that seems to be heroic deeds and sef>sacrificing acts

    are but mere e#pressions of your sefishness that underies your wi, desire and voition.

    2othing which you choose to do can be done without the conte#t of your sef>

    centeredness. Can must aways start from himsef and end to himsef in a his thinking,

    action, decision, and refection. Fe thinks and acts by simpy considering himsef inautonomy from other things.

    Those situations which appear to force you in doing things against your desire are

    =ust that, appearances. %ven if you e#perience a sort of e#treme coercion, sti you are

    the ony one who can and must decide in that imited situation. %ven if the options are

    imited into two, you sti have the freedom which of them you wi choose. There is a

    freedom of choice which sti e#ists between the one or the other, between deprivation of

    things you owned and deprivation of your e#istence, ife or death, etc.

    The fina decision is aways your sef>determination. 2o thing and no one can

    utimatey resist you. our wi is your desire. It is a your own. %gotism is the rue

    with no e#ception.

    ou are the ony one who contro your destiny. ou are the ony one who changes

    the circumstances and situations around you. Indifference and sience in this case does

    not mean ack of freedom and choice. It ony means that you do not want to change the

    state where you are and that is what you reay want to choose no more no ess.

    ou are the ony one who done it a for you are the one who give meaning to a

    your e#periences. ou are the god of your own sef>generated word.

    4o you beieve it? Gre a the statements written above true? 4o you doubtyoursef? There is no one that you can trust but your own conviction. Is it true?

    When a things have been said and beieved, this is where deception comes. ou

    are being hoodwinked by no other than yoursef. ou deceived yoursef that you have

    freedom which you think you have. In fact, your heredity and environment formed and

    conditioned you to be what you are.

    ou cannot contro your genetic structure5 it contros you. ou cannot transform

  • 8/13/2019 The Three Isms of Perversion

    15/34

    your environment according to your wants and needs5 it mods your wants and needs.

    our very decision has been imited by the options given to you by the situation in

    which you have no contro. The ony thing you can do is to choose from the different

    choices provided to you by the circumstances in which you are but a speck of dustdriven by the muti>dimensiona wind of the universe.

    our very choice of coor, taste, right, good, music, beauty, form, shape, structure,

    etc. has been programmed and conditioned in your cerebra circuitries by your

    hereditary compositions and cutura paradigms.

    *ince you did not choose your origin, you cannot aso choose your destiny. ou

    did not decide who wi be your parents, reatives, neighbours and what wi be your

    pace of birth, cuture, country, nationaity, physica characteristics, reigion, etc.

    ou =ust open your eyes in the word in which the ony thing eft for you to do is

    adapt yoursef in its ever>changing nature. This is your ony choice, you cannotcontradict and re=ect them at a otherwise you wi be =udged as mentay retarded,

    abnorma or insane to your death. ou simpy beat the system and dance with its

    meody.

    The bioogica and ecoogica factors contro your very destiny. They mod, form,

    nourish, change, condition, construct, sustain, modify, infuence, and nurture you to

    become a person they want you to be.

    our sef>determination has aready been determined for you by nature>nurture

    interaction. ou are mere automaton with an imaginary freedom in the word of puremateriaism.

    ou are totay dependent to your genetic hardware and wordview software. The

    ony difference between you and the computer is that you know you are a machine but

    the computer does not. But both of you do not know what to do without a specific

    program from your components -brain or )making and vaues formation. ou cannot do anything

    without the interaction of your physico>chemica makeup and socio>cutura

    surrounding.

    4o you beieve it? Gre a the statements written above true? 4o you doubt

    others? There is no one that you can ask to hep you but from others. Is it true?

    It seems now that you fee you are being trapped between two e#treme beiefs.

  • 8/13/2019 The Three Isms of Perversion

    16/34

    The one is that you are a reincarnated god who created your own reaity and the other is

    that you are an evoved machine that is being controed by reaity. ou fee that both of

    them must be wrong, otherwise the ony thing that you can do is to choose one of them.

    But, again, you are hoodwinked for there is a third, midde and safe option besidesthese two e#tremes. ou are obviousy neither a god nor a machine for you are a man.

    True, in the past you were controed by time and chance from a congomeration of

    eements in a primordia soup of the prebiotic earth.

    But after those miions of years of evoution have passed, you found yoursef in

    its highest rung for you are the 3enith and goa of physica evoution. ou can now

    contro your surrounding and yoursef toward further evoution but not in the physica

    ream for you are aready at its peak. The evoution must take pace at the spiritua

    ream.

    G nephiimic upgrade is needed at the very center of your brain -third eye orpinea gand and at the very root of your 42G -nanotech biochip. ou simpy need a

    spiritua or demonic mark in your forehead for yogic society and a digita or microchip

    mark in your right hand for cashess society. Thus, a one>word utopian government wi

    be formed with an utimate one>word master eader.

    ou are a brainwashed machine in the past but in the future you must reai3e that

    you are god. ou must contro your destiny. The universe is you for you are the

    universe. The reaity is you for you are reaity.

    Gs a machine in the past you cannot contro your origin but as a god in the future

    you can contro your destiny. Gs a man today you must start controing both yoursefand your surrounding.

    ou as a man are the ink between the physica evoution and spiritua revoution.

    Gs a machine you mean nothing, as a man you mean something, but as a god you mean

    everything.

    CG2 is an acronym which means C>my sef is G>a things as a god but 2>

    nothing as a machine. ou are nothing and a things. ou were controed and you wi

    be the controer. ou wi be because of who you were.

    4o you beieve it? Gre a the statements written above true? 4o you doubt bothyoursef and others? ou and they are what make a things. Is it true?

    I know that you are aready confused what to choose from the three opposing

    views written above. ou are aready tired of indoctrination and meditation. ou have

    been hoodwinked three times at this point. ou want to have an absoute certainty to

    your beief without a singe partice of doubt. ou want the rea truth and not =ust

    another deception in the guise of truth, truth that wi satisfy your innermost onging,

    craving, yearning, and desire.

  • 8/13/2019 The Three Isms of Perversion

    17/34

    ou are not aone to this search for meaning and truth. ou are =ust one of the

    seven biions of peope around the word who ask the very same questions which you

    asked. ou beong to the myriads of men who are crying for the soution of the very

    same probems which you have. ou desperatey need an adequate e#panation to

    everything. We a need and want to free ourseves from the cyce of specuativespecuation. *uch confusion is caused by reigionism. Eor reigionism uses this cyce of

    opinionated opinions to ensave men.

    What is reigionism? We do not need to define this term for you aready know

    and have e#perienced it at this very moment. Lust by shifting beiefs from one

    opinionated opinion to another opinionated opinion without absoute certainty is a cear

    evidence of reigionism in action. It is the greatest hoodwinker.

    $eigionism is the way of man to save himsef from the condemnation of sin and

    damnation of death through his sef>effort. $eigionism ike scientism is the e#tensionof its ream beyond its ethica boundary and ike phiosophism it deceives peope to

    beieve the vaidity of such usurpation.

    $eigionism is a method of man in seeking utimate peace and perfect happiness

    and thus by definition is imited, futie and temporary which wi never reach any kind of

    utimacy and perfection. Its utimate success is utimate faiure.

    $eigionism aways used ies in propagating its hidden agenda. 6ies are truths

    mi#ed with errors, these truths and not its error make it a potent snare for the unknowing

    victims of reigionism. In reigionism, because of deception, errors are seen to be

    indistinctive to truths. 'Woe unto them that ca evi good, and good evi5 that putdarkness for ight, and ight for darkness5 that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitterD(

    -Isaiah 7:&

    "bviousy, there are reaities which must be considered in our beief. $eaity

    which determined what to beieved and what is not. There is the reaity of ourseves

    and the word around us. But there sti a third reaity besides these two we>known

    reaities.

    $eigionism which knows ony the two reaities, either e#tends to the e#tremes or

    combines both these e#tremes as you have seen -and previousy beieved in the above

    three opposing specuations.

    $eigionism is too imited and too finite to see the third reaity. $eigionism is so

    bind that not ony it cannot see the third reaity but aso it has aways vioated the third

    reaity from its conception to its fruition. This third reaity is the necessary precondition

    for the correation of the two reaities. The two reaities cannot be known as such

    without the third reaity.

    What is the third reaity? This is the reaity of the aw.

    There are different kinds of aws which have been discovered by man from

    himsef and from nature. Cost of them are tempora, earthy, finite and imperfect.

    But there are three kinds of aw which have no beginning and ending for they

    came directy from the ony Gbsoute, %terna, Infinite and ob=ect>aw correation.

    $eigionism can never go beyond its conception of reaity. It does not and cannot

    recogni3e the Aod Who is the $eaity of reaities. Its idea and concept of reaities is

    unrea and thus reigionism itsef and those who beieve in it are ess than the rea reaity.

    The deification of the created reaities is the most absurd view of reaity. It is the

    vanity of vanities. Those who beieve on it refect its nature. Cisinterpretation begets

    ou may ha,e your laughs* insults* sarcasms* ignorance* closemindedness* egotism* "anaticism* etc. +ut you will not +e a+le to re"ute the 9i+letruth. ou assumed it whene,er you go against your autonomous* nonChristianpresuppositions in order to li,e in reality. !o matter what you +elie,ed* youcannot change the reality o" what is. I" you are still sane and normal* you must+e shut up +y reality.
