GOD AND THE DEVIL
THE PRINCIPLE OF GOOD AND EVIL
Most religious beliefs are based on information received from an outside source that cannot be verified, sometimes called hearsay. Millions will follow the commandments of a religious text without ever having spoken to its author, and billions will believe in a deity because of the miracles they were told of by someone who was not even present or alive at the time.
But denouncing faith is real madness. Faith is not limited to religious believers. While even the most pious pontiff cannot provide irrefutable evidence of the existence of his god, neither can the scientist who claims that no deity resides in the universe. Both rely on their own faith to explain things they will never understand.
There is no proof of God. There is no evidence of God's absence either. If science cannot definitively prove that there is no God, then science has no choice but to accept the possibility of the existence of a god.
The deepest doubt builds the strongest faith.
The religious foundation of the Illuminati is based on this universal conundrum of faith and doubt. We don't question whether a god exists or not, but rather focus on improving the human people living on this planet. Our decisions are made through the study of data and evidence – factors that can be easily modified by an omniscient creature in order to guide our actions and the future of humanity.
Beware of those who use our name.
For decades, a multitude of individuals have operated under the name of the Illuminati – their deception obscures the public perception of our organization, leading many citizens to believe that wrongdoing is being committed under our command.
For anyone who claims that the Illuminati are affiliated with any religious belief – whether God or Satan, Baphomet or Baal – undermines the very purpose of our independence from human divisions. We do not accept or deny any deity and do not hold any one to be superior to another. We operate solely for the benefit of the human species we have been charged with protecting.
Even more heinous rumors have been attributed to our organization, including human sacrifices and violent rituals. While our individual members are allowed to serve the deity of their choice, the Illuminati as a whole is only dedicated to the preservation of the human species. Therefore, human sacrifice or any practice that does not serve the betterment of humanity would go against everything we stand for, and are therefore prohibited.
Does a god have to exist for you to do what is right?
Would an all-intelligent, omniscient, all-powerful god care what name is used in his worship? Would one god command the evil of another when his justice can be done without your help? Just do what is right and good for the benefit of your species, and any higher power that exists will reward you for your stewardship.
