THE AUTHORITY OF SUPERNATURALISM

In the clash of dialectics, between the supernaturalist, and he that would contend for the real world (as though the real world is something for which we must contend/ as though it were not the existential presupposition)... this dialectic, not of opposites, but that which would assault existence, is carried out by means of posture. 

It is the aim of the supernaturalist to inculturate his supernaturalism (this means he wants to bully and proceed by means of authority). Religion is not integrated by means of reason or evidence, but by means of authority [psychologically!]. Internally the supernaturalist knows this; he aims to manifest his conviction, knowing full-well that his confidence will have the effect of propaganda, which is to say, function as a persuasion edifice on the listener. This is because the term G-O-D is not about Existence... God is about Regulation; the point of God is to introduce a Proscription... in this sense God is Guilt, but guilt is not destructive in and of itself, there are different kinds of guilt, but that which proceeds from God is poison! 

The child is told what to do; when to eat; when to sleep and when to have fun. God is a continuation of this authority; an ideology set-up to retain the infrastructure of this authority. The infrastructure is already in place; all the dogmatist needs to do is use it to establish his idea of God. God is a way of adding to the infrastructure (of solidifying the control); for thereby does the theologian obtain his power. It is to the advantage of the man who tells us about God that he will always know more about God [and here God is Moral] thus the theologian would advance a Proscription, for it is the act of moral proclamation which accounts for the substance of theology: all supernaturalism is moralism!

The answer as to how to thwart the authority of an Authoritarian is the answer of how to deal with supernaturalism.... that is to say, if we desire to be effective. 

We are not contending with evidence, we are contending with the assertions of Authoritarians. But the real question is what gives their assertions authority (aside from that of the appearance of their confidence). Strike the assumptions behind the authoritarian claim and the supernaturalist will fall. But this is no paradox: the falling of the supernatural means the raising of the sane. There are those who stand before us ever seeking to cloud our vision, but their confusion is unnecessary... nevertheless this is what the theologian does: he clouds the vision of life; he takes the natural and makes it obscure, he twists and turns our vision with his words. Resist his madness! 

The man who tries to add to that which does not require addition is afraid of discovering life.
