Racism:  the condition in which the people of one race believe they are superior to people of other races, and that they may subdue and have dominion over them.  The most prevalent form of racism has been that of whites claiming to be superior to the darker races. This claim is usually based on the notion that whites have been responsible for progress in the world through their many industrial inventions.  Ironically, this is the very mark of being demonic in the Ethiopic Book of Enoch.  It is the fallen angels who teach humans the "sorceries of fallen angels," such as mining, which is essentially to many industries, the making of weapons, animal sacrifices, writing, and the use of cosmetics.

     In the modern world, racism has been a problem mainly in the white dominated Euro-American Judaeo-Christian cultures.  The Christian U.S. and Jewish Israel were the two main supporters of apartheid in South Africa.  They did not leave South Africa because they had a change of heart, but only because their evils were exposed. Richard Cheney, the present vice president of the U.S. did not want to boycott South Africa because of its policies of apartheid slavery, and moreover did not want the freedom fighter Nelson Mandela to be released from prison!  His election as Vice President is a perfect example of how racism is entrenched among the rich elite of the United States.
 
 

Sexism: the condition in which one sex, in our history those of the male sex, believes they are superior to the other sex, and that the female is to be submissive to the will of the male. In other words, the will of the female is to be subdued and had dominion over by the male will. Women are still not receiving equal pay in the work place.  The battering of woman has its foundations in the scriptures of the Jews, Christians and Muslims, which subordinate the will of woman to the will of man, and which advocate disciplining the subordinate. Paul's scripture in Romans "Wives obey your husbands" is a perfect example of such sexism.  Paul's scriptures are considered an essential part of orthodox Christianity, even though they blatantly contradict the egalitarian teachings of Jesus, who regarded women as equals having a high status in his spiritual community.

      Gender bias in general is a form of sexism. The orthodoxies of Judaism, Christianity and Islam all have scriptures condemning homosexuals and relegating woman to a status inferior to man.

    Speciesism: the word was coined by Peter Singer in his Animal Liberation, a book which is credited with founding, or at least strongly catalyzing the animal rights movement in the twentieth century.  The word refers to the  condition in which members of the human species asserts that it is superior to others, and that humans have the right to subdue other creatures and have dominion over them; that is, they have the right to invade nature and displace, abuse and kill other creatures.
 
 

Scriptures which support speciesism are Genesis 1: 26-28, and Genesis 9: 2-3.  They are obviously false scriptures. Genesis 1: 26-28 was strategically inserted before Genesis 1: 29-30, the original and only logical dietary covenant given by God.  Even orthodox Jewish rabbis admit that Vegetarianism was the original diet commanded by God. The revised dietary covenant exists in Genesis 9: 2-3, a passage in which the morbid language itself to the objective proves that the notion of an all-compassionate deity has been abandoned by the false scribes in order to present a deity who supports what the original Jews regarded as demonic, namely the sacrificing of animals.

     These scriptures are obviously insertions, for they contradict the original vegetarian covenant, as well as the teachings of the actual deities the original Jews worshipped, such as Shiva, whose name is seen in the Jewish holidays Shavu ot, and T'ub Shevat. Shiva was known as Saba by ancient Jews and Ethiopians, and this is the root of Sabaoth. The pillars erected to God in the Torah were called masseva which contains the Siva root as well.  The deity El Kana or El Chanan (the spellings are various) and the feast of Channuka, as well as the land of Canaan, all have their root in Kannan, the Tamil Hindu name of Krishna.

   Though the respective histories of Shiva aka Rudra, and Krishna aka Vishnu, are complex, their being deviant sects in their ancient history which sacrificed animals, both Shiva and Krishna are noted for teaching compassion towards all creatures and therefore for teaching vegetarianism.  Only the deviant Hindu sects taught that animal sacrifices were sometimes valid.  This point is unnecessary to make, however, since we know from Genesis 1: 29-30 that the original Jews were vegetarian.  Even orthodox Jewish rabbis admit this.  This being established as true even by orthodox Jews, then it is logically seen that the earliest Jews were followers of the mainstream vegetarian teachings rather than the deviant teachings sanctioning animal sacrifices.  To those such as Muhammad, who understood the unhealthy effects of meat on the human body, and to those who heed the results of medical researchers of every major faith in the world who collectively assert that ingesting cholesterol, or eating meat, leads to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and a weakening of the immune system which in turn spawns a legion of other diseases, there is no questioning the fact that the teachings sanctioning animal sacrifices in the Old and New Testament and Quran are false teaching inserted by those who wished to provide a divine sanction for their evil acts that gained them profits.  Muhammad well understood that some "invented scriptures for gain."

  According to orthodox Judaism and its offspring, orthodox Christianity and orthodox Islam, Genesis 1: 26-28, and Genesis 9: 2-3 give humans the right to oppress and kill other creatures. Since these scriptures contradict the vegetarian covenant and the eulogy to creation that begins Genesis, it is more than obvious that these scriptures were inventions of those who wished to fabricate a divine sanction for their profit making schemes.
 
 

     Authoritarianism: the idea that all other opinions, actions, policies are to be subordinated to the will of the authorities, whether of the state or of the church. A close study of history reveals the indisputable fact that the church, or religious authorities exist only by the grace of the authorities of the state, who allow them to exist as long as the religious authorities teach  fascist teachings such as "slaves obey your masters" and "respect all authority as divinely established, as did Paul.

    Imperialism, the notion that one's nation has the right to conquer other nations and to profit from their resources, is a form of authoritarianism on an international scale.  It has been shown conclusively in The Scientific Basis of Vegetarianism by William Harris that carnivorous cultures such as those of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are imperialistic when they have the power to be. In contrast, the vegetarian Hindu, Buddhist, and Shia cultures are not imperialistic.  In other words, Hindu, Buddhist, and Shia Muslim cultures are not noted for invading other cultures, taking over their resources, and employing the people of the conquered cultures as wage slaves.

     Authoritarianism is the tool of all governments or so-called civilized nations, demanding that their subjects follow the laws of the state and/or church.

     Conscription, or the draft, is a perfect example of how governments own people as slaves.  Those who are drafted have no choice to refuse to be drafted. They are either drafted or sent to jail for refusing to be drafted. A few who claim to be conscientious objectors for religious reasons are exempt, but those who refuse to serve because they complain that their nation is involved in unjust war(s), are not exempt. They must either allow themselves to be drafted or they are sent to prison. It is a clear example of slavery, which is a condition in which one's own conscience is subordinate to the will of another.

   The orthodoxies of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have laws stating that the conscience and will of the individual is inferior to the laws of the state.  They therefore contradict the basic notion that one is to be loyal to God above all other loyalties.

       All who are familiar with the scriptures of the Torah, the New Testament and the Quran know that all three of these bodies of scriptures declare that Deity desired some humans to enslave others.  In actuality the founders of each of these religions asserted as Jesus did: "I have come to free the captive," and that one should "love your neighbor as your self," that is, not as an inferior, but an equal. Jesus' and James' command to love your neighbor as yourself,  to do unto others as you would have them do unto you totally contradicts the notion that slaves should obey their masters as taught by St. Paul.

    As this and other web sites have so amply demonstrated, it is quite obvious that the original scriptures were changed.  In order for religion to be successful it must heal--carnivorism degenerates; it must inspire--to be of a lower class is to be denigrated and insulted; it must enlighten--the orthodoxies of Judaism, Christianity and Islam do not enlighten but condition their followers.
 
 

Egotism: the condition in which an individual asserts his or her will as superior to that of other humans, and that one's own rights and privileges ought to be greater than the rights and privileges of others.  Collective egotism is manifested in the fact that throughout western civilization the Elite Rich Classes control the classes under them.

     "Love your neighbor as your self" is an egalitarian teaching with economic ramifications. The Essenes owned nothing of themselves. All was owned communally. The earliest Christians in "Acts" were ordered to give all they had to the Christian community. Epiphanius in the Panarion states that the earliest Christians were called Essenes and Nazarenes. Both groups were vegetarian and egalitarian. The earliest Jews, before they clamored for a king, and the earliest Muslims apparently had the same or similar ideas of equality.  A concern for the needy was regarded as essential.

    All religious founders had a keen sense of how authoritarianism, and the class systems which emanate from it, breeds resentment between the rich and poor, the haves and have nots.

    When one is raised in a carnivorous culture, one is conditioned to become an imperialist, believing that one's human will is superior to the will of the animal one pays to be killed so that it can be eaten.  It has been wisely conjectured by some that the event of the Jews clamoring for a king was concomitant with the Jews becoming carnivores.

    A mere 75 years ago, most of the ground water in streams and rivers away from industrial centers could still be drunk.  They were not yet contaminated with the toxins of industry.  Now only some well and spring water sources survive as pure.  Only the demented mind would say that this is a sign of progress.  Industrialists, keenly aware that having water is a necessity for every human, are now trying to control the pure water sources of the world, so that drinking water will no longer be a natural resource (given by the Creator or Creative Forces of the Universe) deserved by all creatures, but now it will be a commodity, sold by industrialists, even though it is a necessity for all humans.

   Only the demented do not understand that it is demonic for some humans to deny others the basic rights to have the necessities to survive.

   But we've already been conditioned to believe The Great Illusion: that Authorities will assure our well-being. For example, human beings under virtually all the governments of the world, do not have the right to go to live in the wilderness except in National Park areas.  And most National Park areas in the tropics are under the strict control of the state.
For example, I was living in Hawaii from 1975 to 1980.  During that time I lived for 2 1/2 months in a tent in Kauai, in the valley of Hanakapiai, which at that time was some 15 miles or so distant from my tent.  For that period of time I relied on outside sources, that is, stores back on the road, for my supplies, as I ate some of the indigenous plants, green plants on the ground, and whatever fruit I found.  At the same time I was learning what plants were edible.

    Meanwhile a group of people had already, some years before, formed a commune of sorts at Taylor Camp, near the end of the road on the eastern side of Kauai.  Some had planted gardens from which they ate.  Some gathered seaweed.  Some went and culled the fruit that grows fairly abundantly in most tropical areas, which included mangoes, papayas, mountain apples (rose apples), pomelos, passion fruit, and guavas.  There were also many edible green plants such as watercress, gotu kola, spider-grass, wild lettuce and dandelion.  There was also taro plants which must be cooked for a long time before eating.
