We, at the Empire shall follow the precepts from the Holy Apocrypha, our guide and way to the Archaeus.
Our Religion is the Bloodveil. The Blood representing the essence of life and it's absence, death. The Veil representing the Core which permeates our ideologies and purpose.
Behold Empire! I, Revan Neferis, Thrice-Illustrious Sovereign of Veil, carrying the Sceptre of Power and the seven tools of unrighteousness hereby state:
The Veil, is the Temple within.
First public Sermon God is Dead
* Revan Neferis and Semra Oshun stands at the Bloodveil Temple facing the crowd. The Royal guards of the order nods and the doors are closed. The Sermon of the night begins, the first one allowed public access*Human kind and the fallen. Since I was born the religion taught me that God created the Universe and also mankind. But wait a minute: if you are created by someone, you are only a puppet; you don't have your own soul. And if you are created by somebody, he can uncreate you any moment. He neither asked you whether you wanted to be created, nor is he going to ask you: "Do you want to be uncreated?"
God is the greatest evil dictator, if you accept this unhealthy fiction. If God is a reality,we are all slaves.
Follow the fanatic screams and give “God” the power: All the strings are in his hands, even your life. He pulls the strings, you dance; he pulls the strings, you cry; he pulls the strings, you start murders, suicide, war. You are just a puppet and he is the puppeteer.
Then there is no question of sin or virtue, no question of sinners and saints. Nothing is good and nothing is bad, because you are only a puppet. A puppet cannot be responsible for its actions. Responsibility belongs to someone who has the freedom to act.
Either God can exist or freedom, both cannot exist together.This is the First premise of Bloodveil: God is dead, therefore man is free.Yes, I hear the infidels screaming in fear: So, without God, what are we to be?
Yes… God was non-existential, but it was a good consolation. It used to fill people's interior, although it was a lie. But even a lie, repeated thousands and thousands of times for millennia, becomes almost a truth. God has been a great consolation to people in their fear, in their dread, in their awareness of old age and death, and beyond -- the unknown darkness. God has been a good consolation for the weak, for the one who wants to act without accepting reactions, to the ones who can’t think, the diseased, contaminated, the self piteous and scum of the Universe. Yes, they all need this lie to excuse their pathetic existence.
The second Premise of Bloodveil: God has been a tremendous consolation, although it was a lie.And than, you come to Bloodveil with a dead God and asking us: what is left?
And so, I answer: Existence
Listen to this: You are the highest evolution of existence, of intelligence, and it is dependent on you. If you grow higher than the mind and its intelligence, towards no-mind and its intelligence, existence is going to celebrate: one man again has reached to the ultimate peak. One part of existence has suddenly risen to the highest possibilities of the intrinsic potential in everybody….
You are immortal.
When you have found your inexhaustible sources of life and its ecstasy, then it does not matter whether you have a God or not. It does not matter whether there is a hell or a heaven. It does not matter at all….
You have intelligence. You are God.
