SATAN : GOD, OR ANTI-GOD?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Often it is that we come across the terms 'Devil-worshipper' and
|
|||
|
'Satanist' used synonymously: in the sensationalist tabloids, fundy
|
|||
|
smears, t.v. dramas, Hollywood horrors, and even among Satanists
|
|||
|
themselves.
|
|||
|
What is the nature of this worship, and is it an appropriate
|
|||
|
manifestation of the Satanic philosophy?
|
|||
|
'Devil-worshippers' there undoubtedly are. As far as they exist in
|
|||
|
the Western world they can be seen primarily among adolescents and
|
|||
|
psychotics/neurotics. Typically they are big on Denis Wheatley-type
|
|||
|
theatrics, but philosophically lacking. Some are rebelling against
|
|||
|
parents, trying to shock, or escape from reality by pandering to fantasy.
|
|||
|
In so doing the Devil-worshipper has substituted Satan for Jehovah/Jesus.
|
|||
|
He has become an inverse-Christian, but is a long way off from the truly
|
|||
|
Satanic.
|
|||
|
Satan is the 'god' of such types, but Satan is not God; he is
|
|||
|
Anti-God.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"THE FALL"
|
|||
|
According to the Judaeo-Christian mythos, Man was separated from
|
|||
|
his 'Creator' when he partook of the Tree of Knowledge, thereby gaining
|
|||
|
wisdom and self-consciousness. This was offered, promethean-style by The
|
|||
|
Serpent, Satan. This put him on the road to potential godhood; thus
|
|||
|
mankind fell from the state of grace in the eyes of the Creator. (Gen.
|
|||
|
Ch. 2-3).
|
|||
|
The Gen. legend is a Hebraic elaboration of the Babylonian
|
|||
|
Creation epic, which recounts more vaguely that Man drew wrath of the Gods
|
|||
|
by similarly acquiring a godlike capacity for wisdom. A serpent is also
|
|||
|
involved somehow. (Chaldean Account of Genesis, Tr. by G. Smith).
|
|||
|
In both the Genesis and Babylonian legends the central theme is the
|
|||
|
separation of Man from God(s), after acquiring godlike attributes from a
|
|||
|
Being considered 'evil' by the godly on that account.
|
|||
|
The Satanic gift is thus one of separating man from divine
|
|||
|
subordination and dependence, and from the dull, static contentedness of an
|
|||
|
'Eden' in which nothing changes from millennium-to-millennium, accept by a
|
|||
|
godly whim.
|
|||
|
It is precisely god-worship which Man was liberated by the
|
|||
|
'Serpent', just as Satan liberated himself and a large percentage of the
|
|||
|
Angelic host from the divine-tyrant, as brilliantly rendered by John Milton
|
|||
|
in Paradise Lost, and Dr Michael Aquino, High Priest of Set, in The
|
|||
|
Diabolicon.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"BLASPHEMY"!
|
|||
|
God-worship of any kind, including and especially devil-worship, is
|
|||
|
quite clearly blasphemy unto Satan. Devil-worship is the negation of the
|
|||
|
very Gift of Satan, for his promise to Mankind was that we shall 'be as
|
|||
|
gods', by freeing ourselves from godly tyranny. Today psychologists call
|
|||
|
it self-actualization; self-proclaimed Anti-Christ philosopher Nietzsche
|
|||
|
call it self-overcoming; in both instances the emphasis is on the Self,
|
|||
|
freed from the bondage of herd-conformity, whether prescribed by priestly
|
|||
|
superstition or herd-morality.
|
|||
|
The only 'god' the Satanist worships is his own Self, leading
|
|||
|
towards a Godhead of our own conception.
|
|||
|
Worship other than this is to render worthless the Gift of Satan.
|
|||
|
This principle was wonderfully stated by Anatole France in his The Revolt
|
|||
|
of the Angels. Satan launches an attack on Heaven and is victorious. He
|
|||
|
casts Ialdabaoth (Jehovah) into Hell and assumes his throne...
|
|||
|
"And Satan found pleasure in praise and in the exercise of his
|
|||
|
grace; he loved to hear his wisdom and power belauded...
|
|||
|
"Satan, whose flesh had crept, in days gone by, at the idea that
|
|||
|
suffering prevailed in the world, now felt himself inaccessible to pity.
|
|||
|
He regarded suffering and death as the happy results of his omnipotence...
|
|||
|
the savour of the blood of victims rose upwards towards him like sweet
|
|||
|
incense. He fell to condemning intelligence and to hating curiosity. He
|
|||
|
himself refused to learn anything more, for fear that in acquiring fresh
|
|||
|
knowledge he might let it be seen that he had not known everything from the
|
|||
|
very outset...
|
|||
|
"Dense fumes of Theology filled his brain...
|
|||
|
"Thus centuries passed like seconds. Now, one day, from the
|
|||
|
altitudes of his throne, he plunged his gaze into the depths of the pit and
|
|||
|
saw Ialdabaoth in the Gehenna where he himself had long lain enchained.
|
|||
|
Amid the everlasting gloom Ialdabaoth still retained his lofty mien.
|
|||
|
Blackened and shattered, terrible and sublime, he glanced upwards at the
|
|||
|
palace of the King of Heaven with a look of proud disdain, then turned away
|
|||
|
his head. And the new god, as he looked upon his foe, beheld the light of
|
|||
|
intelligence and love pass across his sorrow-stricken countenance. And lo!
|
|||
|
Ialdabaoth was now contemplating the Earth and, seeing it sunk in
|
|||
|
wickedness and suffering, he ... rose up ... and hastened hither to
|
|||
|
instruct and console mankind..."
|
|||
|
But all this was only a nightmare Satan was having. He had not yet
|
|||
|
begun his war against God, and he awoke bathed in sweat...
|
|||
|
"Comrades," said Satan to those standing around him, "no - we will
|
|||
|
not conquer the heavens. Enough to have the power. War engenders war, and
|
|||
|
victory defeat.
|
|||
|
"God conquered will become Satan; Satan, conquering, will become
|
|||
|
God. May the fates spare me this terrible lot; I love the Hell which
|
|||
|
formed my genius. I love the Earth where I have done some good... Now,
|
|||
|
thanks to us, the god of old is dispossessed of his terrestrial empire, and
|
|||
|
every thinking being on this globe disdains him or knows him not. But what
|
|||
|
matter that men should no longer be submissive to Ialdabaoth if the spirit
|
|||
|
of Ialdabaoth is still in them; if they, like him, are jealous, violent,
|
|||
|
quarrelsome, and greedy, and the foes of the arts and beauty?... As to
|
|||
|
ourselves... we have destroyed Ialdabaoth, our Tyrant, if in ourselves
|
|||
|
alone that we have destroyed Ignorance and Fear.
|
|||
|
"...It is in ourselves and in ourselves alone that we must attack
|
|||
|
and destroy Ialdabaoth."
|
|||
|
The Satanist does not pray, he does not beg to Satan, nor perform
|
|||
|
any knee-bending exercises. He recognizes the god within and works to
|
|||
|
actualize it. If he performs rituals or declares Satanic affirmations
|
|||
|
these are to evoke the powers of his own Being, latent or otherwise, and
|
|||
|
draw upon energies which are only being realized now by the mundane
|
|||
|
sciences.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
THE SATANIC PRINCIPLE
|
|||
|
Who or what is Satan? A malevolent figure of hideous aspect
|
|||
|
demanding that his adherents kiss his arse in homage? Reading the Old
|
|||
|
Testament and The Revelation the description seems more fitting for
|
|||
|
Jehovah, as Anatole France clearly recognised.
|
|||
|
The following description of the 'Devil' by Paul Carus, author of
|
|||
|
The History of The Devil states well the nature of Satan as perceived today
|
|||
|
by thinking Satanist:
|
|||
|
"Evil personified appears at first sight repulsive. But the more
|
|||
|
we study the personality of the Devil, the more fascinating it becomes. In
|
|||
|
the beginning of existence the Evil One is the embodiment of everything
|
|||
|
unpleasant, then of everything bad, evil and immoral. He is hatred,
|
|||
|
destruction, and the annihilation incarnate, and as such he is the
|
|||
|
adversary of existence, of the Creator, of God. The Devil is the rebel of
|
|||
|
the cosmos, the independent in the empire of the tyrant, the opposition to
|
|||
|
uniformity, the dissonance in universal harmony, the exception to the rule,
|
|||
|
the particular in the universal, the craving for originality, which bodily
|
|||
|
upsets the ordinance of God that enforce a definite kind of conduct; he
|
|||
|
overturns the monotony that would permeate the cosmic spheres if every atom
|
|||
|
in unconscious righteousness and with pious obedience slavishly followed a
|
|||
|
generally prescribed course."
|
|||
|
Satan can be seen from the above description to be the embodiment
|
|||
|
of those forces which lead to progress by upsetting the static order where
|
|||
|
necessary, which led Man from primal, animalistic existence towards that
|
|||
|
which is truly 'human'. This is the real significance of the Genesis
|
|||
|
legend, and the 'Fall' of Man away from 'God'.
|
|||
|
Satan then is not God, but Anti-God. His demand is that he is not
|
|||
|
worshipped, but rather that Man worships the God within and thereby strives
|
|||
|
towards higher forms of Being, for in doing so we truly honour both
|
|||
|
ourselves and Satan.

---------------------------- BOOK REVIEWS ----------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Church of Satan by Dr Michael A Aquino VI<56>, High Priest of Set (Temple
|
|||
|
of Set, 1989).
|
|||
|
Dr Aquino is uniquely placed to write the church's history, having
|
|||
|
been an intimate friend of the LaVey's, principal advisor and
|
|||
|
trouble-shooter, second only to the LaVey's themselves in the Church.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Dr Aquino draws heavily on correspondence in documenting the
|
|||
|
Church's history from its foundation in 1966, until his departure in 1975
|
|||
|
to form the Temple of Set. This is neatly fitted together with his
|
|||
|
commentary, analysis and humour.
|
|||
|
The first part consists of 374 pages in which LaVey and other
|
|||
|
leading Satanists are brought to life.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The second part of The Church of Satan consists of 143 appendices
|
|||
|
covering over 400 pages. Included are early C/S documents on magick and
|
|||
|
philosophy, magazine articles, early rituals, accurate translations of
|
|||
|
Yezidi scripture, many articles reprinted from the now-defunct Cloven-Hoof,
|
|||
|
Dr Aquino's wonderful treatise on Satanism - The Diabolicon - and much
|
|||
|
else. Also included are over three dozen illustrations.
|
|||
|
The book is essential reading for every Satanist, and of course for
|
|||
|
every Setian, but due to copyright restrictions is available only to II<49>+
|
|||
|
Setians and approved I<> for religious and educational purposes. It is
|
|||
|
produced on a non-profit basis, and is available to both US and overseas
|
|||
|
Setians for a donation of $US50.00, most certainly a bargain for the wealth
|
|||
|
of information provided.

Dr Faustus by Christopher Marlowe
|
|||
|
This review is based on the 1924 Metheun ed. of the 1604 version
|
|||
|
of Marlowe's play. The introduction is by Prof. R S Knox, and includes
|
|||
|
the Faustbuch published in Germany in 1587, upon which Marlowe based his
|
|||
|
play.
|
|||
|
From Know we learn that Marlowe was an atheist who led a hedonistic
|
|||
|
lifestyle and had a rebel temperament. His first plays, Tamburlaine (1587)
|
|||
|
and Faustus (1589) are reflections of Marlowe's fascination with the great;
|
|||
|
he rarely wrote of ordinary people. Such a background would qualify his
|
|||
|
well today as a potential 'Satanist'.
|
|||
|
He was, writes Know, "unable to brook the calmer ways of life or
|
|||
|
the shackles of prescribed thought." With a warrant for his arrest issued
|
|||
|
by the Privy Council, Marlowe was fatally stabbed in a tavern brawl before
|
|||
|
reaching 30.
|
|||
|
John Faustus is said to have been born in Weimar. A Doctor of
|
|||
|
Divinity, he rejected Theology in favour of medicine, mathematics,
|
|||
|
astrology and the Black Arts becoming a wandering scholar.
|
|||
|
Legend has it that Dr Faustus, with a lust for knowledge, summoned
|
|||
|
Mephistophilis, a minister of Lucifer, using the techniques of ceremonial
|
|||
|
magic current among scholars of the time. Mephistophilis became the
|
|||
|
servant of Faustus in exchange for the latter's soul after 24 years.
|
|||
|
Whereas the Faustbuch is a rather vulgar rendering of Faustus' life
|
|||
|
and death, Marlowe's treatment of the legend portrays the "greatness of
|
|||
|
mind behind Faustus' impatience with mortal knowledge and his resolve to
|
|||
|
seek further by the Devil's aid... In the medieval magic, indeed, in his
|
|||
|
refusal to abide within the bounds prescribed for mortals, in his wreckless
|
|||
|
daring, and in his suffering [Faustus] rises above himself." Marlowe's
|
|||
|
treatment of Faustus' aspirations and tragic death draw upon the reader's
|
|||
|
sympathy, in contrast to the treatment given him in Faustbuch.
|
|||
|
Some of the ridiculous portrayals in the original History are
|
|||
|
reworked by Marlowe to endow the "Evil spirits" with "new dignity". "Like
|
|||
|
Milton after him he has refused to accept the medieval conception of devils
|
|||
|
as grotesque and ridiculous figures." (p. 35).
|
|||
|
Indeed, Mephistophilis appears as an amiable character and obliging
|
|||
|
servant, and one might even say 'friend', while the Doctor himself is
|
|||
|
popular among students and scholars, generous to his friends, and showing
|
|||
|
no tendency to misuse his powers for malicious ends (other than to inflict
|
|||
|
some indignities upon the Pope and his entourage at a banquet - no doubt to
|
|||
|
the amusement of the Protestant audiences of the time).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Faustian soul
|
|||
|
It is the motivation of Faustus which is of principal interest to
|
|||
|
the Satanist. Indeed the Satanic 'soul' can aptly be termed 'Faustian'.
|
|||
|
In Scene I we are told that Faustus found both theology and
|
|||
|
medicine limiting.
|
|||
|
"These metaphysics of magicians [promised] all things that move
|
|||
|
between the quiet poles" to be at one's command.
|
|||
|
A dominion that exceeds those of emperors and kings "stretcheth as
|
|||
|
far as doth the mind of man", to godhood.
|
|||
|
"A sound magician is a mighty god; Here Faustus, tire thy brains to
|
|||
|
gain deity."
|
|||
|
Being one's own deity: truly is Satanic. The theme is that of a
|
|||
|
'passionate struggle to reach beyond the grasp of ordinary mortals... the
|
|||
|
goal which Faustus strives to attain is a godhead." (Knox).
|
|||
|
"Marlowe takes this old story of the medieval magician who sells
|
|||
|
his soul to the devil for 24 years of pleasure and the gift of all
|
|||
|
knowledge, and gives it a significance akin to that of such world-old myths
|
|||
|
as Eve's eating the apple and Prometheus' defiance of the gods. The
|
|||
|
Faustus legend becomes for us a symbol of humanity's splendid struggle to
|
|||
|
reach the stars, the tragedy of infinite aspiration..." (p. 7.)
|
|||
|
"Infinite aspiration" is a term which summarizes well the satanic
|
|||
|
ethos. We find it again reflected in the philosophy of Spengler who
|
|||
|
defines the "Faustian soul" in similar terms, and in that of Nietzsche's
|
|||
|
call for Self-Overcoming and the Over-Man.
|
|||
|
That peril is the chiefest way to happiness
|
|||
|
And resolution honour's fairest aim.
|
|||
|
What glory is there in a common good
|
|||
|
That hangs for every peasant to achieve?
|
|||
|
That like I best that flies beyond my reach. Faustus.

Productions Inc., Box 370, Times Sq. Station, NY, NY 10108-0370, USA.
|
|||
|
$US8.95 +$1.50 postage; $5.00 overseas.
|
|||
|
Not to be confused with the book of the same title by Dr Aquino,
|
|||
|
High Priest of the Temple of Set (reviewed on p. 4).
|
|||
|
Blanche Barton has been a C/S member since 1976, and a Church
|
|||
|
administrator since 1984.
|
|||
|
The book covers the founding of the C/S in 1966 from a group called
|
|||
|
the Magic Circle, which met at LaVey's house where he gave lectures on an
|
|||
|
array of occult subjects. Members included the grandson of a US president,
|
|||
|
underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger, and sci-fi and fantasy writers such as
|
|||
|
August Derleth.
|
|||
|
We are given a background of LaVey's fascinating life as
|
|||
|
lion-tamer, second oboist for the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra,
|
|||
|
travelling musician, police photographer, and investigator of 'nut calls'
|
|||
|
for the SF police.
|
|||
|
Barton deals effectively with the anti-Satanist hysteria which has
|
|||
|
been whipped up in recent years by fundamentalists, disposing of their
|
|||
|
accusations of blood sacrifice, child molestation, etc. by drawing on
|
|||
|
sources such as FBI agent Kenneth Lanning's special report Satanic, Occult,
|
|||
|
Ritualistic Crime: A Law Enforcement Perspective and Satanism in America,
|
|||
|
a scholarly study by the Committee for the Scientific Examination of
|
|||
|
Religion.
|
|||
|
LaVey's Satanic political programme is outlined, including
|
|||
|
stratification of society based on the inequality principle. LaVey
|
|||
|
recommends selective breeding, elitist stratification, and polygamous
|
|||
|
relationships based in eugenic considerations as productive forms of
|
|||
|
protest against the present norm.
|
|||
|
Much material is based on interviews with LaVey.

PROFILE : JOHN DEWEY
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
John Dewey first joined the Church of Satan in 1970 and is today an
|
|||
|
Adept in the Temple of Set.
|
|||
|
Also known by his magickal name of The Daimon Egan, he is editor of
|
|||
|
Brimstone Quarterly, journal of the Ancient Brotherhood of Satan (ABOS).
|
|||
|
The purpose of ABOS is described as being to "change consciousness
|
|||
|
by known ignominious methods", "to restore Satan's proud legacy and to
|
|||
|
resurrect His traditional role as 'The Adversary'. To unleash all the
|
|||
|
Powers of Hell. Igniting chaos to achieve freedom from tyranny."
|
|||
|
ABOS follows the tradition of the early German order, the
|
|||
|
Fraternitas Saturni. Their philosophy is described as 'Nietzschean
|
|||
|
Thelemism.'
|
|||
|
In common with the OLHP, ABOS sees an apocalyptic situation
|
|||
|
confronting mankind: "Mankind has reached a crucial stage... it is the
|
|||
|
challenge posed by the Over Man!
|
|||
|
"Technology is now being used... to transgress the natural order.
|
|||
|
Should we continue on this path, a Great Annihilation most definitely will
|
|||
|
occur.
|
|||
|
"We must create with the same zeal with which we annihilate! Then,
|
|||
|
and only then, may we proceed to the next evolutionary step and transcend
|
|||
|
the natural order altogether! We shall move beyond the skies and live
|
|||
|
among the stars!
|
|||
|
"Like it or not, we are the Ruling Elite. Satanists must use their
|
|||
|
strong influence either directly or indirectly to avert catastrophe. The
|
|||
|
time has come for the reign of the Illuminati!", write Dewey.
|
|||
|
John Dewey has a background in the Army, National Guard, computers,
|
|||
|
commercial art, and entertainment. He is now an independent movie
|
|||
|
producer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
|
|||
|
---------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Thank you for having sent the courtesy copy of The Watcher. I found it
|
|||
|
interesting reading. Dr. Aquino had sent me a copy of the correspondence
|
|||
|
between yourself and the pathetic "Radio Werewolf" group. RW has an
|
|||
|
eccentric presentation and I doubt they will be very long-lived. Your
|
|||
|
reply to Escott Placed cards on the table and so you may or may not hear
|
|||
|
back from him: people who play fantasy games do not generally like to
|
|||
|
associate with those who will not agree to indulge in the same fantasy.

Still, that is his loss, not yours.

|
Other points of interest in The Watcher were "Crime & Punishment" and the
|
|||
|
1000 BCE article. The idea of encouraging eugenic measures in one form or
|
|||
|
another is an ideal, but I doubt the Godly would dare allow such,
|
|||
|
particularly since it would effectively remove they themselves. One has
|
|||
|
only to deal with the public to see how true it is that mankind in general
|
|||
|
is sitting in deck chairs on the Titanic watching the sea grow higher!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And so with that I am off to work on further correspondence. My warmest
|
|||
|
wishes to you and may you have continued success with The Watcher.

Thanks for the material you sent Chaos International. I will give the
|
|||
|
watcher a mention in C.I. if you would do the same for us in The Watcher.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I always find it amusing the way you Satanists keep slagging each other
|
|||
|
off; one would have thought you had enough outside enemies without
|
|||
|
aggravating the problem - still, keeps the hellfires burning I suppose!

IRAQ & MILITANT ISLAM
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Because of the historic antagonism which existed in Centuries past
|
|||
|
between Christianity and Islam, Satanists should not be deluded into
|
|||
|
thinking that in the latter we have an ally against our historic enemy.
|
|||
|
(The same principle applies to Judaism and its politicized offshoot
|
|||
|
Zionism). Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all of a similar nature,
|
|||
|
aiming at a world dispensation.
|
|||
|
Islam has historically imposed itself by force. The old European
|
|||
|
colonial structures held it at bay for a time, and quickly put down any
|
|||
|
flare-ups. Now that the West has long since abdicated its position through
|
|||
|
weakness, Islam is renascent and ready not only to oust remaining Western
|
|||
|
influences from its own traditional realm, but to impose its belief-system
|
|||
|
upon the Infidels as well, as in centuries past.
|
|||
|
Religious factionalism, reinforced by the megalomania of the
|
|||
|
various Arabic political leaders contending for pre-eminence in the Arab
|
|||
|
world, has long-served to keep Islam in check.
|
|||
|
Now Saddam Hussein, fired with the faith of his destiny as leader
|
|||
|
of Islam, has emerged as the latest Moslem Messiah. He has reached an
|
|||
|
accord with his former Iranian enemy, and is by-passing those more
|
|||
|
conservative Arab leaders who oppose him by appealing to their subjects for
|
|||
|
a Jihad against the Infidel. The potential exists for a united militant
|
|||
|
Moslem response should the Arab masses perceive a threat to the holy
|
|||
|
shrines of Islam in Saudi Arabia.
|
|||
|
What should have been the West's attitude from the start?
|
|||
|
Blockades? Economic sanctions? UNO denunciations? Crap! The West,
|
|||
|
because it is itself weak and lacking an Ideal, cannot conceive of
|
|||
|
self-sacrifice and fanaticism, the sheer POWER of an Ideal such as Islam.
|
|||
|
The response from the USA should have been instant and devastating;
|
|||
|
a direct assault on Iraq itself. Clearly, air-power is the answer in such
|
|||
|
circumstances, and to use troops for some type of land-confrontation is
|
|||
|
madness.
|
|||
|
As of writing US troops have landed in Saudi Arabia, Pres. Bush
|
|||
|
has evidently finished playing gold, and the impotent cries of moral
|
|||
|
indignation from British and US spokesman continue. Whatever the outcome,
|
|||
|
because the USA and its Allies were so slow and feeble responding, nothing
|
|||
|
has been done to insure that militant Islam will not again be troublesome.
|
|||
|
Just as the US should have immediately crippled Iran when hostages were
|
|||
|
taken instead of showing its weakness before all Islam, it has again lost
|
|||
|
its chance to contain Moslem fanaticism by its hesitant response when
|
|||
|
dealing with Hussein. Saddam Hussein may well be ousted fro Kuwait in the
|
|||
|
present round, but Islam will have by no means been deterred in
|
|||
|
contemplating future military adventures. And next time the Moslem hordes
|
|||
|
may be even better equipped than now, and covet those parts of Europe which
|
|||
|
they had once occupied for so long.
|
|||
|
One factor which should be contemplated is the USSR as a potential
|
|||
|
ally against Islam. The Russians have long been guided by realpolitik,
|
|||
|
rather than by the communist humbug they discarded over 60 years ago, other
|
|||
|
than a means of undermining other nations. Shedding their peripheral
|
|||
|
Empire of Asiatics and Christians, the 'Great Russians' can only strengthen
|
|||
|
their position. Sixty million Moslems within the USSR can only be viewed
|
|||
|
with suspicion by the Russians, when the rest of Islam is in ferment, and
|
|||
|
considering the previous experience in Afghanistan, where Moslems in the
|
|||
|
Soviet Army were given menial, non-combat roles.
|
|||
|
With the possibility of a future Jihad against the Infidel, as of
|
|||
|
old, the Russians would be a valuable - perhaps a crucial ally.

DEFINITIONS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(From An Alien's Dictionary, pp14-15):
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Catholic: Someone who feels they are being watched all the time (see
|
|||
|
Guilt).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Christ: The name of a man who died on a hill with the Cavalry (now known
|
|||
|
as Cavalry Hill).
|
|||
|
Christ had twelve disciples called Matthew, Mark, Luke, John,
|
|||
|
Genesis, Exodus... and a few others. He was buried in a tomb but he
|
|||
|
didn't like it there so he now lives in God's right hand. It is very
|
|||
|
spacious and full of people who have been through the eye of a camel and
|
|||
|
there is hardly anything boring on the television.
|
|||
|
Christ is famous for coming back to life every Christmas. He used
|
|||
|
to be a lamb of God but is now the Saviour which just shows what hard work
|
|||
|
and dedication can do. He is made of bread.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Christening: an occasion where a baby human gets told who it is so it can
|
|||
|
tell everyone who it is and then the adults get drunk.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Christmas: a two-week period where people receive things and try to make
|
|||
|
themselves ill.
|
|||
|
Three wise men, a donkey, some shepherds, and a baby called Chris
|
|||
|
all have their birthday around this time.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Church: a building where people meet every week. They talk about christ
|
|||
|
and living inside his body, which seems a bit odd to me. There's also some
|
|||
|
nasty business about drinking blood (See DRACULA).
|
|||
|
The man who stands at the front of the church has to make everybody
|
|||
|
feel guilty and wave his arms about a lot (See ORCHESTRA).

This is your great moment of reality- the living flesh... these

alternatives to reality than half a wet dream. - Austin Osman Spare
