The Creation of Evil

Humberto Gómez Sequeira-HuGóS 43

Certain men said that “god” had chosen them to be his spokesmen and, as such, “god” revealed to them that he was the creator of man.

Nothing else.

Since then, these men designated themselves as “god’s prophets, ” turned the word that they invented into law, waged “holy war” against their competitors in the market of faith, enriched themselves with the spoils, and organized themselves into powerful cartels that control the State.

“God’s generals” keep the world divided into territories where they concentrate the humanbeings they exploit—branded as faithful and infidels—under the watchful eye of “god’s wrath and love.”

The “creation of man”is the creationof evil: a terrible tale of deceit told as the benevolent act of a selfish entity. It is the reason millions of people live in obscurantism, enslaved to

“sin” and the fear of “eternal punishment”, and paying the tribute of “eternal salvation” to “god’s bankers.” They claim that their proclaimed creator is the owner of human beings and, therefore, they cannot live their lives with meaning nor transcend into eternal life without their acceptance of this absolute condition.

In order to make this unreason a dogma, the soldiers of “god”—priests, politicians, bankers, and generals—continue to repress the evolution of human instincts into scientific awareness and altruism with the weapons of dogmatism, propaganda, and war justified by the State. It has adopted the tale of creation as an auxiliary doctrine in order to support its claim that it was ordained by “god.”

Certain primates, in the process of their evolutionary march, saw fire, became curious, and thought: “What is this?” “Let us see.” “Could we make it?” Stimulated by the impression of the flames in their neurons, they managed to create fire and turn it into an instrument of the revolutions that they made. With the power of the knowledge of fire, they heightened their awareness, changed their

mode of life, and transformed themselves into Homo sapiens.

Primates became humans through the exercise of the power of their creative will, excited by the environment that they had to overcome with knowledge in order to maintain the course of their evolutionary trajectory. Then, “god” did not exist, and the incipient Homo sapiens were free as the stars in the sky. Homo erectus laid the foundation for the evolution of technology with their controlled use of fire. Their ability was imprinted on the genes of their descendants, who evolved into the writers of the theories of evolution and the origin of the universe and the navigators of space.

“God” was created by men as their divine ego. It is the coin with which they support the value of the “faith” that they manufacture and sell. These “holy men” maintain their condition with the “salvation” tribute they obtain from the exploitation of the ignorance and fear of the human beings that they terrorize with the weapon of “eternal punishment.” They do not pollinate the minds of society with the ideas, goods, and services that its members need to

maintain their lives and propel the process of evolution of their brains towards ever higher modes of conscious existence, “beyond good and evil,” selfishness, avarice, hate, and war. They are a caste of social parasites who live as fat patricians, in opulence and infertility.

The tale of creation is the obscure product of the minds of men who did not have the adequacy necessary to confront nature as an object of inquiry into its truth in order to understand it and explain it without any “divine breath.” It does not have an umbilical cord that connects it to the universe as the atomic cradle of life and the minds of the curious primates who evolved under its stimulus as subjects susceptible to its majestic beauty.

Without the power of the State as the dissolver of the human natural self in religion and nationality, creation would only be what it is according to its letter: a fantastic and contradictory tale of a narcissistic inventor whose purpose is to control the power of the entity he invented, punish it, and destroy it.
