About this ebook

Many gods there are, for whom have eyes to see; in the East and in the West. Dead gods - Mayans, Incas, Aztecs and others; living gods charging dearly for their promises of gifts, and so many gods who are forged at all times and will forged.
Here rises this good god, in everything compatible with his powers (omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient) and the expectations of his offspring.
Truly, a god is born here who does not need to be evil in order to do good; does not use evil as the reason for his existence and projection, for so much since the first tracings did not allow that the evil inhabited in his circumscription. This is a truly wise god - nor did he let evil come into being.

    PROLOGUE

    ––––––––

    The human mind bears any heaven and any hell. So,

    nihilist, do not be, because you know of your creative capacity. This text will make us know that when the creator is truly good, there will only be a creation of calmness and peace; with balanced, supportive and happy creatures. Otherwise, we will see what the evil deities did with their creation - a matter of choice. From the infants burned in sodom and gomorrah and suburbs, to compel an innocent child to go through a bloody ordeal and die crucified; simply because they did not want to use their omnipotence and fix everything with a single touch of fingers. Considering their unbridled wisdom, it is perceive that the evil creators already in the beginning premeditated evil humanities and of a lot misery - with much war, barbarism, famines and slavery; with much death; because since before they already knew where it was going to arrive. No god has only a relative omniscience, which allows him to plan one thing, but to leave another. They will know everything from before the first stroke.

    For example: a world was projected that would have like pioneers two disobedient: adam and eve. And, proved the failure, did not eliminate those two that would put their whole creation to lose; they preferred to let the boat run, to kill thousands and millions later, ignobly, like the 200,000 midianites killed, not counting the 20 million swallowed up by the infamous deluge. Free will counted for adam and eve, not for millions like moabites, philistines, amorites, canaanites, etc., slaughtered under pestilences, plagues, storms, and other divine claims. No one hears what have to say about free will those people who had been struck down by their god only because they preferred to feed on quail from Egypt; poor people who did not even have the freedom to choose their food.

    There is evidence of a cruel gift: from nowhere it was known that there would be rebellion, and that so many of the children would be dragged into sin; for this reason an immense auschwitz was built in the darkness, to be deposited these human scraps (or rather, divine, for they say generated by a god). See that satan tries, destroys, crushes the creation and is not debased by the gods so powerful; nor is there any serious reaction; this all the time. No one without drills on the ceiling will imagine that a righteous, provident and omnipotent god did his designs right, and it was the disobedient and crooked children who completely destroyed them. Who can know more, or rather, who know about yesterday, today and tomorrow? The thing is really damaging and mischievous since the birth, from conception. Stillborn, stillbirths. It is thus seen that they use two weights and two measures. The demon does what everyone says, paints the eight, and it is not consumed. The wife of ló, just to remind us of a case, because she looked back, when her god did not want it, was dead and petrified. Thus, there is more appreciation for the demon than it was for that poor wretch. But Mr. helen, the creature who stays every afternoon in Sinimbu Square with the microphone, propagating the teachings of its creator, was clear in predicting that everything is of the design of his god, and comes only to confirm his glory. Oh, truck of vanities, blessed thirst! All these cruel and traitorous methods and molds come to establish your fame and prestige - wow! And what does fascism really mean?

    Here, it is discussed, even during the multicolor Quintessentially Eighty-first Planetary Congress of the Gods, of the despair, avarice and schizophrenia of the evil gods - in the West and in the East; where everyone shot in the foot. No creator was able to make only good children or to rectify the bad ones. It is also seen that apologetics is the support of the evil gods or, rather, their marrow - that is all. They are shown, of the various types of gods - of those who prioritize and consecrate free will, to the detriment of everything else, including their own honor. These, fail in everything they plot, have failed all that they create, all that give color, that paint form. Therefore, in addition to crucifying innocents to repair stumbling blocks, they must continually reform their creation, with floods, with pestilences, with darkness and sinister sins, and with so many others; it's nothing. Other gods there are, who have to adopt partial free will - in their creation, their creature is absolved (freed) only to do good. It is also known of the creators who instituted the conditioned free will - you can stop praising them with cries and shouts, sacrifices and penances, as long as you remain upright.

    You will know of another god who had conceived his whole creation of satisfaction, full of achievement and one of signifier and meaning. In the creation of this, no free will was instituted, for having been made full of Equilibrium, Solidarity and Tenderness; only goodness, brotherhood and love are seen to spring forth in their fields. In truth, free will is for the gods who have opted for free will; after all, free will is for those who need it. As well as you will see of the ostensive modern polytheism, that quick grace between us.

    You will also check that the least endured, most dignified, and most lively creatures on Planet Earth are those who have never seen, have not, and do not know of any god - most of Europe, especially Scandinavians. Ah, here, you will know of bonanzas, and taste of the wonderful creation of a good god. Now, I am aware of the lesson of the great master francisco dantas - from the Department of Vernacular Letters of UFSE: you only have to see whom you are talking to, that's it – who must have prerequisites to hear what you have to say. After that, everything can be said. For something said to those who are not ready to hear can cost you much - even life.

    Antoninnu, from the womb, heard about his god.

    ––––––––

    He was born and grew up seeing and learning about him...

    There is no other true god for antoninnu - that does not exist.

    QUALIFICATION

    This is not true or false, he is a good god. He wants himself a god that exists, is valid, and proves effective. Tolerating slanders in his domain is not his characteristic. He does not consent to the idea of evil dwelling in his creation; even considering that he arrives in times already known loaded. At this point, the curious thing is that the first to build a creation found nothingness, and in it he was erected. Therefore, when there is no evil, they have created it; and logically housed it, giving it lair within his domain. But, you understand, this is divine ideology. Each god has his own, which leads him to make and to generate the creature to his liking, the creation that pleases him. A good god only does good things. Good things are good for us humans, bad things are bad. The good things of a god are good and his bad things do have not another name. A good god knows everything, is omnipotent, and is everywhere, whenever he desires. Now this god, who by his honor and for the fullness of all his creation, which comes to him as his only true glory, will in principle only do enjoyable things; from the introductory scribble on the drawing board of his project. For thus he wills and can; because that way he knows it will be. All will soon realize that this god is fantastic, that he is exalted. And they will look forward, backward or sideways, and only see good things. You cannot target good and evil in the curia of this divine being; but only the first. There will be no demons here, no hell, for evil things are, therefore, inconceivable with the designs of this good god.

    Choosing one and / or serving a god will not only bring displeasure, except in the few moments in which songs of praise permeate the neurological set of the creature and nudge it to nirvana. To follow a just god is to be a fullness of life, not a perpetual wait maps. The gods who appear here and there are irreconcilable and unsustainable in the form shown by their apologists, who say them wise and righteous, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent; because none of these pupils make use of it. For starters, they lack praise too much - it's their oxygen and inseparable antidepressant. Sad start. Son of fish is a big fish.

    In such a way, imperfect creatures need much to adore their creator and to offer to him sacrifices, otherwise they will not have the nor promise of salvation; and the wedding is set. Hand and glove. The glove was designed and made to meet the needs of the hand; the one that does not fit, does not dress, is discarded. But the hand not only made fitted gloves; this is the necessary slip. Once made, the gloves have the obligation to stretch, to adapt to the tastes and plasticity of the artisan hand. Even those non-latex. So it has been. And the glove that undoes the knot, because by hand runs fresh water and comes broad shadow. In the meantime it will not be long and we will have at your disposal a god who will welcome you as his son and give you what you deserve without previous changes, without further problems; for, though without praises, he will continue to be god. Though without sacrifices, his creatures will be worthy and benign. There will be no barter in his kingdom. Praises will not be coins nor sacrifices themselves will become duplicate or passport. So it will be, because in order to be fulfilled he does not even lack praises, flattery or merchandising. So good offsprings of a good god will always be good; perfect will be the creation of a perfect being - different It should not be. I confess: we have always been prone to conceive of a god who, instead of appealing for gifts, offered them. In this matter there are three known types: those who give tithes and offerings, those who receive, and those who neither. There is a certain degree of mismatch in making needy creatures, just as there is a lack of empathy in those gods who accept, beg, lack, and beg for the gain of their offspring. Only those who look at reality and take their juice from it can perceive it. And this cannot be achieved ordinarily with the lens of the unconscious. For the unconscious does not reason, it has no acumen; it is latency. The unconscious is motor built and constituted, in its sponges, of garlic and straws. If the experiences of each are filled with more garlic, one has a temperate life, when one experiences more of the second, one has the inconstancy in taste and other senses. Carrying from us and to us is needed, because self-transcendence is only a means. The unconscious is formed and shaped by the images of the external that permeate, that visit and revisit our internal environment; like a caldron, melting, merging and shaping, then, all our external conceptions, attitudes and actions, closing a cycle of what enters and permeates us, what comes out and presents us to the world. Information, therefore, is a dangerous weapon; because it wakes up, it animates and changes people. That is why they are so afraid to tell the people, another gods´ children, of their rights and their millions. Also of rights over life and of having a god that promotes living (facilitating it) and not the constant death (preventing it). A good god is wise; besides omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. He's not just knowing, but wise. He does not prevaricate or decompose, does not forget, does not exempt himself; and is human, to be sacred. As soon as this god is created, he will not be an ideal but real being. His heavens will be of all, as his laurels and his reward; because no one here will be a wolf to anyone. Ideal is the sacred, infinite, perfect, capable, unattainable being. It happens that my good god, first of all, will be real; because he will put his powers into use, forever and ever. The all-knowing and the all-power will be of no avail to you, if your mills fail you don´t to finish them. So it is for a god. Such will be positively his greatest distinction: a cognoscenti, haughty and spirited god. And he is not redundancy. Of this, it is inexcusable to point out, that for sure every god would be very knowing, very powerful and ever present. But the bad always leave something inexplicable. The god now conceived will make excessive use of his constancy, his sublime power and his manifest wisdom; so we say him prudent and exquisite. Because cautious, he will weigh all the unimaginable biases since the first traces in the planes of his creation; haughty, because he will never fail to providentially act for the blessedness of his humanity; brave, just because he will never give rise to any liberations that compromise the absolute and irredeemable success of his project. All of it will come to the magnanimous wholeness of his glory, and to the plenitude and concord of his conception. Soon everyone will know that the success of his creation is full bonanza, and the whole well-being of every creature. Hence comes his nickname, his baptism: a good god. For, on other sides, we are sure, there are gods who are true crooks, in everything unmade.

    At first there was great controversy over the name of this being - whether it was to be called a good god or a god who was not evil. At this point I had to disagree with my creature: he will call you a Good God; although he even suggested to call himself a god who was not evil. However he did not make it clear to me if he proposed because he thought that being good is already the obligation of every god or if it would be the second vocative to distinguish him from others. A god poet. This is the one who brings more balance, perseverance and solidarity! A tenacious god comes from he can do everything. And this one was able to clone the DNA of graciliano, zombie and rousseau, to distribute copies to the millions by the parliaments and places of the whole world. I see him, much, to recite sartre, bandeira, pessoa and brecht. I can to see him bake the own verses in everything that he verse and pulsates. 

    But before we warn: everything that is drawn exists. And a drawing - once drawn, ready - exists as a drawing and as a spectrum of what had been structured, of what is represented in the drawing. In truth, it is more than an alert; this is an appeal.

    Adolescence is an unusual stage and would not be eternal, it should have limits; even more so for omniscient ones. But some gods have no consideration. Neurotics. They are pure adrenaline; they cannot get away from it; with adolescence they made consortium. I know a masochistic god and I know a lot about the sadism of others. I've seen more of that. The sadists determine sinister, to contemplate them. Masochists, however, do not stop transplanting their failed creation; so much so that it seems to us to be cheat. But, let's face it, the gods we are talking about are still in the Middle Ages. It is true, there are still many ancient and primitive ones as well. Only Neo-Pentecostal gods, evidence are only what there is, assimilated illuminist tones - the rotten part, it is clear. Omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence are the principal dimensions of a god, to become a real being.  And all the highlight is for your flashlight, the all-knowing. The other dimensions of your interact with the attempt to realize, to materialize their wisdom. I could not find a single person in the world who was willing to serve and give himself over, tooth and nail, to a dubious god; that hesitates as to what he wants, that he has doubts about what he does, as well as what he does not do. But god who acts in this way is only what one has. A good god will never forget his powers, his splendor; he will not forget the blade or the chalice. He will not only be firmament, metaphysical, psyche; he will also become somatic, of the finite life. Here is a god who is reached; because in life and eminently for life. There are those who make gods to death; to reap endless glories and praises, to dictate punishments, and to offer promises of the after.

    I read in a stanza of this god who now proceeds, in the notes in his proclamations: Do not worship, even furtively, the fascism of the encumbrances nor the despotism of punishments. In such a way, he will not admit fatwa, holy war, bonfires or counters under his name. Neither burkha nor xador; no kind of feminist or masculinist hierarchy; because on their beach the relations will be given so that the female is not only reproductive nor the male is supposed the excellence of the maintainer function. Here comes the disgust a god, of the most sought after and adored throughout the world, shows by the women, when he commanded his spokesmen to say, the man that putteth away his wife make her an adulteress; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery too. So to these even the erratic action of man is a tribute to be paid by the woman. The nature of a good god has mine. He is a democratic god; who ever heard of that? And gather the woman as equal, what a perfection! That is why he determines whether to imprint on the banners of empiricism the feminine of pope. There's here another north. He must have known about joana, approaching the Colosseum. A being who will not need to use mouthpieces soon you will have. Here, with this, all the macho genesis will inexorably be revoked. The obligation and satisfaction of a GG (good god) is to become a mill of happiness for all his, not a rout of waiting and pain. Let it be known, only a god, there, mounted a manufacture of saints; that now it´s at full steam. This, with us, will establish scale of criteria for the election of saints in his domains; where there is no mention of angels, archangels or cherubim - there are references to vandré, kant, nietchze, sartre, drumonnd, lima barreto, da silva jardim, paulo freire and gilberto, patativa and frei caneca; suassuna, boca do inferno, sandino and ernesto guevara de la serna; nino, the ancien judge, wladimir maiakowiski, neruda and his postman; vila-lobos, zumbi, benario and herzog; sebastião bernardes de souza prata, conselheiro, tarcila, del piccha and his companion; castro alves, preto velho, chowmski and alende; gonzaga (son), s. zé paulo da macacheira and marley; d. bebé lavadeira, trotski, rousseau, pessoa and chão of bagpipe; joaquim josé and belchior; zé ramalho, niemeyer, and the francisco (caesar, mendes and buarque); juruna and baleiro and salgado, tolstoi, turing, rubem alves and thomas morus; clístenes and solon, and his masters and followers, the old graça there would not be lacking, and luciano of Samosata - a sophist, who would? There, there can are seen raul, elomar; geraldinho and changai. Also plutarch, feuerbach and engels, richard bach, elis and lennin; galilei, rushidie, habermas and toiybee, jon sobrino, bakhtin, spinoza and hoonaert; bandeira, brecht and david yallop; ricardo arjona and lenine. Ah, excuses me - right at the top of the list are casaldáliga, arns and jorge de lima, and also calheiros, the bishop. And, further on, bertran russel, cazuza, edward said, hugo and amadeus. I still saw the violinist versinho santana and prof. José paulino da silva, the fisherwomam dedé, besides amando fontes, so many communist bishops and ruined peasants; and the beautiful maria caruaru.

    Already in the first evolutions of the times, like the creation of linguistic codes, the aesthetic inclinations of the good god are structured with signifier and meaning. The first announces, the second interprets. The signifier is the image of what is and what will be, is fact, action; meaning is reaction; the reflection result that will remain inside and through of each of the parts and of the whole. One and the other are, therefore, diversity and its plural senses. Because he knows in advance how diverse the creatures, environments and things of his creation will be, the good god will conceive the multiplicity of tones and elements as the first sign of communication, beauty and delight. That is why babel here for this god empties himself of meaning. Oh, how does he handle semiotics. Neurolinguistic is his car and your wheel! I still have with me his first lesson on the board, which he calls the maxim: No idea exists until some sign gives it body and presents it to life.

    A sapient god is noted in him; because in all things he pondered. Let us recall, however, on the other hand: worship is one who knows much of culture, of deeds, of history. This god is, moreover, rational, logical and suit. A wise creator. In fact, every god would be cautious. In contrast, the wicked commit injustice even against themselves; see there against their creatures! Speaking of evil, I'm not sure what the real intention is, someone wanting to dismantle the reputation of a god, in the congress of the gods, had this narrative published that demonstrates about the character and profile of certain creatures: 

    Nita and john mitro had a little girl - beautiful lênia. This newborn was indeed very flashy; but her nita mother was too wonderful. So beautiful that it came to popularize that adjective in those backland corners. Over there, in such cases, everyone always used the terms beautiful or very beautiful. Then came the incredibly cheeky and already exuberant little nita, at the height of her thirteenth birthday; but already publicly in love with the classmate, the guitarist of the band mirim john mitro. From her appearance, from so much listening, from so much talking to her, is that the local people begin to get used to the use of the adjective wonderful.

    It was not too late - two or three years - and they came together after their daughter's notorious gestation. But before she was four years old, the little girl was an orphan and the beautiful mother was widowed.

    The guitarist, who left in the early hours of the morning to Salvador, where he would buy accessories and sound equipments, suffered a fatal accident in a curve near the city of Alagoinhas and, flying from the car, had his skull exploded on the asphalt. The consternation was general, and the small town of the sun trembled with commotion. What no one has ever suspected is that this tragic end of the boy had a motive - the lust and the beauty of nita is that took her beloved to death. Everything had been programmed by farmer father-in-law. The guitarist's father including strategically gave moneys for the son to buy new instruments. And also, at the time of his departure, he personally handed him that bottle of guava juice which an effective substance that had dulled him to sleep to die. Nita had abruptly been a widow. Now, done. For years the daughter-in-law was an orphan of a father and a mother, and her clever father-in-law was free to complete his job - to give the boat in nita. So it was, and everything happened to him as planned.

    On a happy afternoon, when she was packing her bags to go to the maternity hospital to give birth to her first child after the guitarist's death, she was surprised to find in a small box a letter that her beloved had delivered to her a few months before die. Already very fond of her new lover (ex-father-in-law), Thick tears were still noticed streaming down her cheeks. But she read compassionately the finding to the end: 

    [Woman, 

    I'm not the same anymore. After you, inexorably, I am another being - more chiselled, more civilized, more human.

    Nita, with you, I can believe to be concrete noun love; and, after us, I can announce that life is worth it, that happiness exists.

    Let's be happy, forever, so...

    J. mitro]

    ––––––––

    Nita had two more children with her father-in-law; even staying with his wife, the guitarist's mother, who lived less than five hundred meters. The city was scandalized. But nothing was different.

    Here, this god employs so many knowledges, to avoid future difficulties, to circumvent imminent prisons, to contain hypotheses of anomalies and losses. Such a god will not have to fabricate slander and sin, nor will he command carnage, plague, or pestilence. Nor will he burn his film by setting up ordeals and crucifixion. He will never, never, be without delusional criminals. None of this goes through your project. Every being that uses rationality only invests or invests himself in something that gives you profits - more friendship, more knowledge, more pleasure, more fruits or more wine; never in what brings you strife, loss, and defeat. This god, being wise, rational and excellent, obviously did not forget to remove from his plans the occurrence of captive forces, of evil entities, of polished figures. Here he only avenged, or rather, only projected the good; because only the good he wanted in his humanity and for his. As all things are under his dominion, evil has not come into existence; because it was already under control. Here is a whole god. Here is a god in measure. There is no admittance to slander in the creation of this benign god. As the duck already is born swimming, so the creatures of a good creator come to born sailing between the lines; for they are carved for wisdom, and from the womb they have already predicted that all that we learn or apprehend comes to us through images; that all human learning comes from a certain optical nerve, where each sound and plasticity of the received message are classified and the corresponding file that we have in our brain is selected and tuned; there, in that neurological device, new files are produced and kept when new contents are captured. Therefore, your children have full control of the saying of yours and the saying of others, and even more of thinking. No one, therefore, in this creation would be born into the darkness of Prehistory, the Antique or Middle Ages. Neither in darkness that under kermesses do they impose themselves. It´s said and done. No one august, no diocletian, in Rome yesterday or in the States of today, would institute the policy of bread and circus. And see that the letter that they pamphlet there at the Meeting of the Gods here does not have it proper, since without probable recipient: 

    OPEN LETTER TO YOUNG PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, OF ALL WORLDS

    HELIÓPOLIS / Bahia, April 1993.

    ––––––––

    "To say that men are people,

    And as such they are free,

    And nothing to do concretely, for this to become reality, is a farce."

    ––––––––

    Young people, this sad but courageous letter is for you, of all ages. Everyone who has a young spirit and heart. What needs to be thought and said? Philosophy, Poetry, Lie, what to everyone understand that we are subjects, we were born to make our history, our luck, our destiny? They're doing it for us any way they want!

    What needs to be done, more humiliation, more deceit, more needs and hungers and thirst and pain and ignorance, to realize that we are being objects? It is not for this that we come to Earth with the image and likeness of God, with voice and intelligence, with reflection, that makes us perfectly different from oxen and horses. We have an obligation to know that as long as we do not fulfill our social function as a Citizen that integrates with the environment in which it lives, influencing and transforming it for the better, and our natural function of being people, people who have a voice, who uses reflection and has its own opinion, while it does not occur, we will be equal to the common animals that only eat, drink and sleep. They are born, they grow and they die without doing anything else but to receive the halter of those who think, because they only act by instinct. Our generation will march, will build its destiny, all together.

    I always believe, there will always be a way out. And history does not let me lie, it fills me with examples. Everything that is based on oppression and inequality one day falls; whenever the oppressed gives up suffering and organizes itself. So it was with the Roman Empire; it was thus with France and with other monarchic and oppressive systems; it was so with the American settlers, who conquered their independence from the English metropolis. Also in Brazil of the last century, when the black slaves revolted against inhuman exploitation were organized in quilombos, having in Palmares the main one of them. Princess isabel signed the liberation, when the revolt was already immense, was already uncontrollable throughout the country.

    Still in the 19th century, tailors, military, students, peasants organized from north to south of the country, protesting against the injustices of the empire, in revolts such as Cabanagem, Sabinada, Praieira, among others. Not to mention the most incredible of them, the Canudos Revolt. Revolt of a poor peasant people who fought organized and united by a socialist ideal
