I have had this pretty much developed for a while, and I haven’t talked about it because I basically don’t think it’s anybody’s problem. My view is oldschool: my religion ain’t none your goddamn business. But I figure maybe now’s the time to lay out a bit what my travel has been.
For lack of a better word, I consider myself, in the simplest of terms, a Roman Catholic. Catholic bothers me deeply, because it seems to mean something like universal. I am definitely not a universalist. But it is the most straight historical connection to the Roman religion.
To get wordy, I am an Anti-Christian Originalist Roman Catholic.
I believe in God, Dios, Deus, Zeus. And all of the pantheon. I, like my Roman forebears, also honestly believe in the Greek religion even maybe a little bit more than the actual Roman one. But I accept the Roman one as a judicious choice, like my forbears.
I find these Gods are not symbolic or representative of anything, or allegorical. I find they are literal, and that any honest person, at least any honest person of Roman descent, will admit to directly feeling their prescence. Venus, Zeus, Baccus, many others.
I am a reactionary. Down to my bone marrow, I am a reactionary. I am so much of a reactionary that I consider Christianity to be a revolutionary new idea that must be overcome. And I am also fairly original in making very little distinction between it and communism.
Belief in God is equal to belief in freedom. Because with Gods above us, no man can direct us. Or wo- OK maybe woman yes.
I would dearly like to see the Church reformed, and rectify the old rites. But I am not holding my breath. Still, in all its absurdity, I have loyalty to the Church, because it is the Church of Rome.
Like my Roman forebears, I am also simply generally vaguely polytheistic, and am fairly promiscuous as to religious observances and deities I admit in terms of whether they are strictly Roman or nay.
I won’t go much deeper, as again, it is nobody’s problem, but just so it is known that this exists.
I think that, if you are a protestant, you honestly don’t have these Roman feelings and are correct in rejecting our church, and I curse the Christian rebels for forcing our beliefs on you. Don’t let the poison invade you, drop the Christ and seek your own feelings, to find your own Gods once more.
It is only in remembering and honoring the past, that we might be able to break the deadlock of the present and build the new future. Discover all the things yet to discover, develop the yet undeveloped, give birth to Nietzsche’s philosophers of tomorrow, end the feeling of alienation that torments the communist. Open the doors nice and wide to science.
I am a conservative and a rancid reactionary of the realest type, and I will fight to the death to keep the world out of the hands of those that hate it and would burn it.
Because life is good.
At the bottom of all true religious feeling lies that beautiful secret.
Life is good. My mateys.
