Luther: The Devil's Disciple

By Adam Weishaupt

It's a striking feature of Protestantism that so few Protestants know anything about the founder of their religion. Martin Luther, the prophet of Protestant irrationalism, is one of the most pathological figures in religious history. Would any sane person wish to subscribe to a religion whose founder declared: “Reason is the Devil’s greatest whore; by nature and in manner of being she is a noxious whore; she is a prostitute, the Devil’s appointed whore; whore eaten by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under foot and destroyed, she and her wisdom...Throw dung in her face to make her ugly. She is and she ought to be drowned in baptism...She would deserve, the wretch, to be banished to the filthiest place in the house, the toilet.”

Making extensive use of Luther's own words, the Pythagorean Illuminati, the oldest secret society in the world, have produced a polemical attack on the religion that has come to be most closely identified with the evils of Western capitalism.

Adam Weishaupt

Adam Weishaupt invites you to enter the forbidden world of secret societies. Are secret societies hidden because they are plotting against the world, or hidden because the powers-that-be are plotting against them and hunting them – as heretics, apostates, infidels, blasphemers, freethinkers, radicals and revolutionaries? Are secret societies the underground heroes as opposed to the subterranean villains? Are they demonized by those who want to keep you enslaved with lies and a false consciousness? Secret societies are devoted to discovering the ultimate knowledge that will liberate all of us. Join the freedom fighters, those heroically venturing into the Unknown Land to find the Holy Grail. Come and find out about the extraordinary world of secrets that presents a totally different conception of reality from the ones your overt rulers – the billionaires and their puppets – feed you. Don't you want to find out what is really going on?

"If we never get rid of Christianity, the Germans will be to blame." -- Nietzsche

One must be sufficiently sick for Christianity. -- Nietzsche

"Saint Paul understood the need for the lie, for ‘faith’."  -- Nietzsche

The Illuminati

THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF BOOKS outlining the religion, politics and philosophy of the ancient and controversial secret society known as the Illuminati, of which the Greek polymath Pythagoras was the first official Grand Master. The society exists to this day and the author is a member, working under the pseudonym of Adam Weishaupt – the name of the Illuminati’s most notorious Grand Master.

The Illuminati’s religion is the most highly developed expression of Gnosticism and is called Illumination (alternatively, Illuminism). Dedicated to the pursuit of enlightenment, it has many parallels with the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. It rejects the Abrahamic religions of faith: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, considering these the work of the Demiurge; an inferior, cruel and wicked deity who deludes himself that he is the True God, and who has inflicted endless horrors on humanity.

If you wish to judge for yourself how deranged the Demiurge is, you need only read the Old Testament, the story of the Demiurge’s involvement with his Chosen People, the Hebrews. You may wonder why the God of All entered into an exclusive and partisan Covenant with a tribe in the Middle East several thousand years ago, why he promised them a land (Canaan) that belonged to others, and why he then actively participated with them in a genocidal war against the Canaanites. Even more bizarrely, according to Christian theology, he then despatched all of those Hebrews, whom he had supported so fanatically, to Limbo – the edge of Hell – when they died. They couldn’t go to Heaven because they were indelibly marked by the Original Sin of Adam and Eve. Only the atonement provided by the agonising death of God’s son, Jesus Christ, could wipe the slate clean and allow the Hebrews to be released from Limbo. But there was a catch. Only those who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour were eligible for Paradise.

Of course, the Chosen People of God have almost entirely rejected Jesus Christ. Therefore, from the Christian perspective, nearly all of the Chosen People are now in hell proper. Don’t you find God’s behaviour distinctly odd? Indeed, unbelievable? Don’t alarm bells start ringing? Doesn’t the behaviour of this God sound rather more like what would be expected of Satan?

Remember that this same God ordered Abraham to perform human sacrifice on his own son, Isaac. Abraham, rather than rejecting this monstrous command, rather than denouncing the creature that gave it as evil incarnate, agreed to butcher his own flesh and blood to demonstrate how slavishly and mindlessly obedient he was – the prototype of all psychopathic, fanatical believers.

Does God’s command to Abraham sound like something that would ever pass the lips of the True God? We pity you if you think it does because you are surely a creature of the Demiurge and one of the legions of the damned. If, however, you doubt the credentials of the Abrahamic God, you may be receptive to the message of the Illuminati and our future-oriented, rational, scientific, mathematical and dialectical religion of light – Illumination.

Luther – Mad, Evil and a Devil Worshipper

MANY WORLD-HISTORIC FIGURES belong to the deranged portion of the rather wide spectrum of human sanity. There is no better example than Martin Luther, the founder of Protestantism.

How sane is the man who said: Reason is the Devil’s greatest whore; by nature and in manner of being she is a noxious whore; she is a prostitute, the Devil’s appointed whore; whore eaten by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under foot and destroyed, she and her wisdom...Throw dung in her face to make her ugly. She is and she ought to be drowned in baptism...She would deserve, the wretch, to be banished to the filthiest place in the house, the toilet.

Does it not amount to insanity to attack reason? Isn’t the abandonment of reason the first thing that afflicts the denizens of madhouses? Who in their right mind would make it their central policy to drive us away from reason? Yet that was the strategy adopted by Luther, the saint of the anti-Enlightenment. In order to sanctify faith he knew he had to kill reason, and he didn’t hesitate. Hundreds of millions of Protestants followed him on the road to lunacy. Such is the power of world-historic figures, the Pied Pipers of destiny. They can convince you that black is white.

What humanity calls normality isn’t equivalent to sanity, though they are usually regarded as synonymous. If 99% of the members of a group hold an insane belief and 1% hold a sane belief, which ones will be deemed mad? Pascal said, Men are so necessarily mad that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness. Isn’t that the truth of it? Even if you’re not mad, you’ll get sucked into madness one way or another. Your sanity will cause you so much trouble in an insane community that you will literally be driven mad by them, or you will be deemed mad anyway.

Human beings have NO inbuilt mechanism for judging madness. Not even reason can help, unless it’s of the highest form. Low-level reason – the type that the average person uses to negotiate their way through the world – is subordinated to desire, emotion and faith. Reason, in this context, is actually an instrument of unreason. Abrahamists often try to present rational arguments to defend their position, but it’s impossible to rationally defend the irrational.

The God of Abraham is defined by his followers as morally perfect. So, in the story of God ordering Abraham to kill his own son for no other reason than to demonstrate his absolute obedience to God, a rational believer is committed to asserting that ordering the murder of innocent children is consistent with moral perfection. Self-evidently, this is an insane position, so any reason that Abrahamists deploy to defend their belief system is of the type that can make mad propositions seem rational. It would be much easier, of course, simply to conclude that the God of Abraham is not morally perfect. But once you conclude that he is not morally perfect then he is not God…and that is a rational conclusion that Abrahamists refuse to draw. The conclusions they draw are not the ones dictated by logic, but those demanded by faith…and faith has absolutely nothing to do with logic.

Pure reason, as Kant asserted, can be just as dangerous as faith and lead us to make statements unsupported by any evidence and wholly dependent on the quality of the assumptions on which we build our rational edifice. If those assumptions are wrong then the whole edifice, no matter how grand, will collapse. Virtually every philosophy has perished because one of its core assumptions has been found wanting.

Modern science is increasingly locked into a rigid paradigm and is less and less willing to challenge the assumptions underlying this paradigm. Anyone who challenges the paradigm is treated almost as badly as the Christian Church once treated heretics. They are marginalized, ridiculed, excluded from conferences, denied promotion. Their work isn’t published in reputable journals. Soon, a rigid orthodoxy has set in and everyone knows it’s career suicide to oppose it. Thus only the emergence of a genius capable of establishing a new paradigm can break the disastrous group think.

Only the highest reason – perfect reason – can provide absolute truth. The sacred mission of the Illuminati is to discover that perfect reason because it is perfect reason that underlies the universe.

When we refer to perfect reason we are actually talking about mathematics. Mathematics alone is the guarantor of rational perfection. The universe could not exist without a mathematically perfect underpinning. Any mathematical flaw at all would introduce a fatal instability that would destroy everything instantly.

As Descartes realised, there is only one certain fact about existence: thinking exists. Nothing beyond that can be proved, only inferred. Strictly speaking, we can’t even prove our own existence. A Cartesian demon might have constructed us half a second ago – with a completely faked memory – and might destroy us half a second from now. During the one second of our existence, as a
