"Reason not Superstition."
Apply for your Knighthood!
First, a few things need to be clarified. We are the 'September Knights' because the attack on the World Trade Centre put the world on notice � the big one isn't far off. Voltaire said, "Men who believe absurdities will commit atrocities" and unfortunately for this planet, most of its population believe absurdities. If nothing else, the attack has shown us the harm that can result from people believing nonsense. Not just Islamic nonsense, but Jewish, Christian, and Hindu nonsense. Our job is to replace nonsense with sense.While I have endeavoured to inject an air of levity into this web site, I am in earnest (poor Earnest!) as to its intention. I have written books condemning organised religion, books which have never been published, admittedly, but books which took time and effort to research and write. I spent six years studying the bible and one day I hope to see my findings in print.
Meanwhile, time is running out for human life. Unless there is a radical change in humanity's thinking, we will destroy most of planet Earth within ten years. We've got Jews, Christians, Muslims and Hindus, all with nuclear and biological weapons and all hating each other's guts. And yet the only difference between them is the garbage they carry in their heads.
Ever since man has stalked the Earth he's carried nonsense in his head about gods, gremlins and demons of the night. Up until 1946 it didn't really matter. Well, it mattered to the people who were slaughtered defending the thousands of 'One True Faiths', but the Earth survived.
In 1946 the atomic bomb burst onto the scene and safety died. The atomic bomb changed everything but we pretended not to notice. And now, decades later, we are poised to end human life. Religion and nuclear physics don't mix. Not a good combination at all, because the moment "God" tells the good guys to anihillate the bad guys, it's all on.
I have searched the internet for signs that someone in cyberspace knows how to prevent World War Three, but thus far I have come up with a big fat zero. So I'm going to have a shot at it myself. Yep, me, who wouldn't know his left hand from his right.
In many ways I'm entirely the wrong person to start a cult or a religion. I am too logical by far. Tell me that your god, guru or messiah is the real McCoy and I'll respond, "I don't expect you to prove it, but at least give me a tiny speck of evidence, just a shred, just a tiny-weeny little hint of a speck of evidence. Because if you can't � and you can't � then I'm not interested."
The best these morons can come up with is, "I know it's the truth because I feel it in my heart!" Like, Hindus worship a divine elephant with eight arms and a funny hat because they feel it in their hearts!
I'm hard to convince. But maybe I'm the sort of bloke who could launch a cult of reason? Like, millions of young people determined to live rather than die for some absurd belief, for some sky-god or some resurrected christ-thing, or some dead assassin known as a prophet.
It seems to me we need to enlist the help of the people who'll be most affected by a nuclear/biological war, and that's young people. I'm sixty years old, what have I got to lose? But young people have their whole lives ahead of them. So I've designed a web site which I hope will appeal to young people. And I hope that some of you will recognise the dreadful plight you are in and will act accordingly.
Dr Helen Caldicott, Australian anti-nuclear campaigner warned, five year ago, (1997), that we had twenty years left. I think she was being optimistic. We're sitting on a tinder box and the flames are licking around our ankles. The one and only thing that christian fundamentalists got right is the message � "The time is nigh!". Where they go wrong is in their belief that Jesus will save the righteous. In fact, the so-called righteous will die horribly just like the rest of us. But they'll go with a smile on their faces because they know they've contributed to your death � you sinner you.
Religion must be attacked, undermined and buried. If we don't bury religion, religion will bury us. It's that simple. Planet Earth will soon resemble the wreckage of the World Trade Centre. To prevent that happening we must hijack speaking platforms, seize control and drive reason into superstition. The twin towers of Christianity and Judaism must both collapse. They are the main targets but there are people fighting for freedom-from-religion in Islamic and Hindu countries. They are the bravest of the brave and they deserve our support.
This is not a war between the good and the bad, this is a war between the sensible and the stupid!
I invite young and old to join this crusade. Yes it is a crusade, and for the sake of symbolism we are the 'September Knights'. Humans need something tangible to relate to, that's why atheism and agnosticism have thus far failed to slay the dragon � they are nebulous, intellectual pursuits which offer people nothing tangible to grasp.
This is a massive undertaking, the biggest ever undertaken by a group of people. But if we don't give it our best shot we can kiss goodbye to life on planet Earth. Your first task, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to point as many people as possible towards this web site. Apply for your knighthood and encourage others to do likewise.
Upon application you will be granted the status of Knight Officer. Knight Major is a little harder to obtain, and Knight Commander damned near impossible. I, for example, remain a Knight Midget. Yes, you will notice a thread of Monty Python style stupidity running through this site, that is intentional because most atheist sites are well-researched and professional but dull, and that is their downfall because only hard-core committed atheists read them.
I want this site to be fun, interesting, challenging and deadly. I want popes, priests, rabbis, gurus, mullahs and other monsters of deception to tremble at the mention of the 'September Knights.'
We have a job to do, let's get to it.
