TWELVE DECLARATIONS

I

The self is eternal, and the only true god.

II

 

No god can be almighty. A few gods, e.g. Jesus and Passaconaway, were evolved to such a high degree they could access some of the powers of their upper selves. As evolution continues there will be more and more of such gods.

III

The self and its evolution continue in an afterlife.

IV

The self is nonphysical. In the afterlife the self functions without the brain.

V

The universe is eternal.

VI

The universe consists of both randomness and order.

VII

There is randomness and order in our thoughts and actions.

VIII

Because of randomness many events and thoughts happen for no reason.

IX

 

A logical faith tries to avoid beliefs which are extremely improbable or outright mysteries. The particular version presented here includes some logically compatible scientific beliefs.

X

No organization should be formed which advocates the beliefs presented here.

XI

As we gods evolve we are creating a utopia. Already some of us lead pre-utopian lives.

XII

Let us all revere each other as gods.

When you argue against the existence of an almighty god aren't you just arguing in favor of atheism? And even if there is no almighty god, that doesn't prove that you are a god.

       Thank you for your question, and your point. As to your question, most atheists claim there is no such thing as a god. We say that all persons are gods—including atheists. But we say also that the logical probability that there is an almighty god is so extremely low that belief in such an entity should be abandoned in favor of some more probable belief. Such gods as Jesus, and Allah, seemed almighty to the rest of us gods because they had evolved to the point where they could utilize some of their superconscious powers. This gave them some control over the powers of nature. But they were not almighty.
        As to your point, we do not claim to prove anything. In Chapter One we offer a set of beliefs—a faith. But we use the theory of logical probability to eliminate (1) beliefs highly unlikely to be true, and (2) outright mysteries, and then (3) we add some logically compatible scientific theories (beliefs). We hope the reader might find such a set of beliefs interesting, or even compelling.
