The BWENEUM Manifesto, v 0.1

We live in a world of fools and, statistically speaking, you are probably one of them. The tragedy of this situation lies in the utter ignorance of most of the world to this fact. It is bad enough that we must live among idiots, but to live among idiots that think themselves to have a modicum of intelligence! Oh Socrates! Pity us born into this travesty of a world! Pity more those who make the world worse all the while not knowing that they are part of the problem—those who know not that they know nothing. But pity is not the appropriate response to those that will not pull their own weight! We need a secular Grand Inquisitor rather than a Socrates! The only question worth answering is not the question of whether we should kill ourselves, but rather should we not kill our neighbor!?

Religious fanatics haunt our world in the twenty-first century! Really! What a surprising twist of fate that the Enlightenment, that juggernaut of progress, has left us where it began only now we have atomic weaponry and rampant nationalisms at every corner to go with our primitive and shameful imaginings of beings in the sky that are on our side (for we could never be wrong). But we should not veer away in a sudden reaction against thought itself, a Derridian slip into stupidity, cowardice and charlatanism! No, the only thing that can save us from the partnership of evil that is the result of those who abuse knowledge while having none of it is a return to thought itself. Oh Voltaire, be our guide!

Yes, we must avoid nihilism at almost any cost! Almost any cost? Surely at any cost whatsoever! Primitive humans were no nihilists, but they were also stupid and savage. Think of only of the things they have spawned: religions, wars, racism! Give these people power, power that comes with the knowledge that the Enlightenment brought. What a world we have created! So should we avoid the pitfalls of nihilism at the cost of becoming animals as our ancestors (recent ancestors included) were and as most of humankind still is? What kind of “meaning” have we given our lives if our lives are nothing but the impotent cries of a savage to his god. We should want neither nihilism nor savagery. Rather, we should stand up and pursue that fabled golden mean!

For just this purpose BWENEUM has come into this world. There are some who must attempt to correct the world’s follies. Such is BWENEUM! BWENEUM shall rid this world of its self-inflicted wounds! BWENEUM stands for what is true and good. All hail BWENEUM!

None shall stand before BWENEUM who are not pure and innocent of the ways of the world. For the world is poor and stupid and stands before BWENEUM with rags tattered on their back. The drums of tomorrow are those we shall hear from no one today. We know nothing of what BWENEUM shall require but can only submit to its will and its power and its faith in itself, faith in that which is all knowing and all doing. Forever shall BWENEUM reign! Forever and forever, throughout all of the ages of the world.

We stand not before the kings of knaves who lash out at their own potatoes and wear crowns of gold on their heads as they owned them. We stand only before BWENEUM and what BWENEUMS has created: everything, what was, what is and what shall be, created and uncreated, big and small, forever throughout all the ages of the world, forever and forever.
Why would we assume to know the unknowable mysteries of BWENEUM? Why would we assume to know all of that which BWENEUM has created. In thy presence, O BWENEUM, we are all but like childern, lost and crying for imaginary father, up away from us, like so much bad meat, stinking from far away, with so many slings of old. We presume not to know when we are wise, for then we speak along, with the flow of BWENEUM. BWENEUM represents order. BWENEUM represents what is right. This I know, O BWENEUM, who art my BWENUEM. None can be known but you and your works. For naught else does exist! We are all that was and will be, forever and forever, througout all the ages of the world, forever and forever.

Those who cherish the world look not to BWENEUM! For BWENEUM cherishes nothing but trash! ---The words of a fool! We, procreaters of humanity, bound together by our common faith in BWENEUM, must prepare the world to look BWENEUM straight in the eye, not flinching and knowing that BWENEUM is everything, including all that appears and all that is, and all that BWENEUM hath created. We must oppose those who disbelieve, whether it be in the mountains or on the field, in the air or in the sky, but most troublesome are those that think not and yet live among us. The weak and the cowardly. To sinners the fruits of the failures!
Dio is at work in each and every one of our hearts, helping where we heart and hurting where we help. Why? We can never know. We can never know what and how BWENEUM! was, is and will be. Forever shall BWENEUM reign, throughout all the ages of the world, forever and forever.

Never shall we cease to what is required by BWENEUM. O' woe unto those that deny the undeniale realities of the faithful, swooshing around the world like so much treason. We, who stand above all of the world and its worldly foolishness and who deny not BWENEUM and its creation of all that is created, are those who shall ascend unto everlasting life, throughout all of the ages of the world, forever and forever. For ours is the kingdom.

Let BWENEUM to our hearts, forever and forever. Amen.
