Becoming Nietzsche's Children

"Innocence and forgetfulness, a new beginning, a game, a self-rolling wheel, a first movement, a holy 'Yea' unto life"

One of the most pressing issues for modern day post-theists is overcoming the misconception that we believe in nothing. We say "No" to the supernatural, "No" to the beyond, "No" to supreme being, "No" to dogma, "No" to absolutes, "No" to authoritative canons, "No" to ecclesiastical hierarchies, "No" to metaphysics. These "No's" have been the vertebrae making up the backbone of post-theist manifestos from the beginning. These are the growls of Nietzsche's lions, baring teeth, dragon-ringers, roaring "holy 'Nay's'" in the face of Thou-Shalt.

"Why hath the preying lion still to become the child?" "What can the child do that even the lion could not?" To create new values, to utter the holy "Yea" unto life.

This "holy 'yea' unto life" is our post-theist gospel, our good news. We are homo. We are sapiens. We proclaim salvation from the gods and their priests. We announce empowerment: a self-propelled cycle of human transformation. We preach eschatology, a new day of unprecedented opportunity. We tell a holy story, a noble myth: beginning, middle, and end. From singularity, manifold diversity. From inert, lively exuberance. From simplicity, unbridled imagination. Our story has a moral: love, cooperation, beauty, abundance, celebration. The spiritual history of children who were once lions who were once camels is a long and venerable one, replete with heroes, martyrs, fathers & mothers, artistically creating subjects all.

With a holy "Yea" we post-theists, the world's outcasts, may win a world of our own.
