Chapter 21: Traditionalism and Religion

‘‘The Garden of Eden, God and everything he had to offer couldn't satisfy Eve, how pretentious would you be to think that you could outmatch God and his perfect paradise and satisfy a woman.’’

- Anonymous –

‘‘I gave you free will, so use it exactly as I command you to.’’

- God –

‘‘Our main reasons for fearing males having sex with males is that you really had to construct a more powerful social role to keep men in their place than you did to keep women in their place.’’

- Warren Farrell –

If you were to plan the creation of an Empire and tried to design it with a robust and long-lasting foundation, how would you do it? Do you envision a prosperous civilization that will eliminate its foes in bloody warfare? Or you would you focus on strengthening your foundation by accumulating resources and wealth?

Political issues, economic growth, demographic concerns, and wars are all crucial factors when it comes to determining winners and losers. However, there is a universal rule that every successful civilization stands by, and it is that you should make your men disposable.

Many institutions throughout history enforced male disposability, and if you want to be a free man, the likes of religion and traditionalists are not your allies. In fact, they are more of a threat than the Marxist, man-hating feminists out there; I wish I was joking. Feminists and leftists will demonize and attack men as a whole, since destroying male and female relationships, and the family unit is their goal. Even if you are a free man, so long as you do not openly antagonize them, the extremists in the feminist movement won’t particularly seek you out. To put it simply, feminists are children throwing a tantrum, and by themselves, they don’t amount to much. But it is another story with religious men and traditionalists, as they hold actual power and they will enforce it.

Let’s dive a little into the history traditionalism and religion. For this trip, I want to explore how male sexuality has been controlled, shamed, and used throughout history to render men completely disposable.

Christianity

Here is a passage from the Christian bible about lust, adultery, and masturbation (Matthew 5:28):

[You have heard that it was said. You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.]

We can see that masturbation is a major sin in Christianity since it is a free ticket to hell and it would be ‘‘better’’ to cut-off you hand than engage in such an act. These teachings may not be as prevalent today as they were before, but they are written in the holy bible none the less, and there was a time where this was heavily enforced.

Islam

In Islam, they either view masturbation as a necessary evil or as an outright sin that leads directly to hell.

Scholars of Sunni Islam do not approve of masturbation, except in extenuating circumstances. They encourage Muslims to fast to reduce sexual desire if they cannot marry.

However, if one's desire is so overwhelming that one might perform masturbation, it will be considered as though he were eating the flesh of a pig to survive from extreme hunger or starvation when no other food is available.

With the Shi'a Islam counterpart, any sexual engagement outside of marriage, including masturbation, is a major sin altogether and causes the doer to be punished in this life as well as the afterlife.

Judaism

The Talmud forbids male masturbation, as it leads to the unnecessary spilling of semen or the impure thoughts of women other than the man's lawful wife. Male masturbation is a grave sin in the eyes of the Torah.

However, Judaism in general neither prohibits nor discourages female masturbation.

Jehovah's Witnesses

Jehovah's Witnesses are not to masturbate on the grounds that it is "unclean" and displays "greediness", which allegedly leads to sexual promiscuity and even homosexuality. Masturbation is not in itself a sin to cause disfellowship, but can be a reason for a person to be withheld privileges.

Here is a quote about masturbation from JWfacts.com (Jehovah’s Witnesses facts):

[Though masturbation may cause strong guilt feelings, sincere prayers for God’s forgiveness and hard work to resist the practice can give one a good conscience.]

Having shown you that, I want to add that most religions prohibit homosexuality, as they are a direct ticket to Hell, and that male circumcision is a standard practice for most organized religious groups.

So where am I going with this? I’m going where male sexuality is, and how to shame and control it.

Male circumcision is the removal of the foreskin from the human penis. In the most common procedure, the foreskin is opened, adhesions are removed, and the foreskin is separated from the gland. An infant who is being circumcised will experience a serum cortisol (stress hormone) three to four times higher than normal (most procedures are done without anesthetics), which is a threshold that most adults couldn’t tolerate. After the operation, serum cortisol stays elevated (compared to normal levels) in the child for up to six months. An increase in cortisol is nothing to be trifled with, as it will wreak havoc on the hormonal system of the child. Remember that this is happening during its first year of development, which is a crucial time for growth for the baby, especially for his brain.

One-third of the nerve endings in the shaft of the penis are located in the prepuce, and removing it also eliminates those important nerve endings. Children who were circumcised will never be able to tell the difference, but men who were circumcised during adulthood frequently report a decrease in sensitivity and pleasure, and they have harder times when it comes to maintaining an erection.

There is also the prohibition of homosexual relationships. I do not think that I need to provide you with official sources or quotes for you to know this, as it is widely known that homosexuality is viewed as a major sin by most religions. Why is this so? It is for the same reason that masturbation is also a sin and that circumcision is a regular practice.

All of this is to increase the value of the vagina. Yes, you heard me right. If you raise the value of the vagina high enough, you can artificially increase men’s disposability, and they will work like reverent draft horses until their last breath.

If you can masturbate as much as you want without any shame, if your penis is uncircumcised and fully sensitive, then you can frequently experience healthy and free pleasure with minimal effort. Masturbation is so simple and easy that it may lead a man ‘‘astray’’ from his familial duties. In other words, masturbation is a big contender against the vagina. When you can rub your meat stick to your heart’s content on a daily basis, then the vagina doesn’t amount to much. At best, the vagina is a little better, but you could live without it. Why? Because of the hardships that one may face in courtship and of the numerous relationships problems that come with marriage. Even for a successful and charismatic man, courting a woman and sleeping with her is at least a hundred times harder than lazily putting his hand in his pants to polish the mojo. Seducing a woman takes a lot of guts and it can be met with rejection, which can result in emotional wound, and managing a relationship is time-consuming, strenuous, and sex is not always guaranteed.

Your partner may not be in the mood when you are fully equipped and ready to go, which is frustrating, or you could have an argument and not have sex for an extended period of time. You could even become a ‘‘sexless couple’’. Why should you compromise with a woman when you can rub one out and be done with it? Wait, you shouldn’t even be thinking about that because a woman and her children need your support to go through life. Forsake your desires, your dreams and, most importantly, do not live for your personal pleasure. You should be mature and accept your familial duties, so go out there and sacrifice yourself for the greater good.

The male sex drive is so compelling that it is our greatest strength as well as our Achilles’ heel. Here is how the church sabotages men. First, they circumcise boys so that they will have a harder time masturbating when they grow up. Second, they shame impressionable teenagers and teach them to repress their desire and lust, and they forbid masturbation. Then they pressure and shame boys for their natural desires, and they enroll the community as both the eyes and the enforcers of their ‘‘holy’’ beliefs. Cornered by everyone and everything, young men can only redirect their hidden and repressed desires toward a woman, which is precisely the goal of the church. Forcefully inhibiting every single last drop of their inner lust, men are then told to channel this massive energy onto a single thing, i.e., the woman. This teaches a man that the only enjoyment that he may find in life is with his wife (which becomes the only catalyst of his desire) and his familial duties, which is the direct result of this union.

One of his most potent instincts is used against him, and the man is completely oblivious to it.

Then the man becomes the perfect provider. He works without questioning the rules and as learned everything that he needs in order to become an obedient draft horse. The religious man cannot self-actualize and has no self-determination, as he is shackled by the very community that was supposed to care for him. He is doomed to never wake up to the truth (with some exceptions of course).

The prohibition of gay relationships stand from the same idea. Wait! Is that… a union that does not produce children?! Preposterous! Hurry! Burn them to make an example out of these heretics! If other men see this, they may get the funny idea that it is possible to have a fulfilling sex life without a woman! This will undoubtedly lead them away from their familial duties! Quick, burn the heathens!

And this is precisely why homosexuality is forbidden in almost every religion. If you dare do something you desire but does not benefit the community, we will ostracize you! If you dare to live for yourself and refuse to become a provider, we will punish you!

Religions want power just like any other organization, and to achieve it, they need hard-working men who will financially support and build their churches, and they need women who will pop out multiple kids to have a high birthrate, so they can have more people supporting the churches. And on and on the cycle goes. In fact, a low birthrate coupled with men who do not produce a surplus of resources would be a death sentence for even the most prosperous countries in the world. Religious groups do not care about you; they do not view your individual wishes and desires as important. Of course, if your dreams do not interfere with your role of provider they will allow it, but if it does interfere you should be ready to become the villain in their eyes. They will portray you as a sinner and ostracize you without a single shred of compassion.

But I’ve strayed a bit too far, let’s go back to the earlier topic which was raising the value of the vagina.

If masturbation is prohibited and you can get punished, shamed, or if privileges can be withdrawn if you indulge in it, and you absolutely cannot have homosexual relationships, then you are left with nothing but the vagina. You would have no other recourse to experience bodily pleasures that would leave you guiltless.

Now, let’s do some basic economics. Let’s say that a man’s favorite ‘‘comfort food’’ is cashews. He goes to the store and find that they are grossly overpriced, but he sees new products on a shelf that are relatively cheap, like peanuts or almonds for example. What will he do? Since this man is no millionaire, he will go for the alternatives without hesitation! Cashews are his favorite, and he would definitely buy them if they were sold at a reasonable price, but since he also likes peanuts and almonds, this man will switch to these two types of nuts without difficulties. Since they taste good and are relatively cheap, more and more customers will go for the peanuts and almonds, and cashews companies will experience a major drop in their sales. This will force the cashew companies to lower their prices, and soon enough, the man will be able to buy his favorite comfort food at a reasonable price.

But if the government prohibited the trade of peanuts and almonds for some reason, this would mean that the man could only buy cashews. Their price would stay high because the cashews companies would have a monopoly over the market, and people would have no choice but to pay big money to eat nuts.

Masturbation and homosexual relationships are intense competition for the vagina, and they could lower its value. If this happened, men would be reluctant to sacrifice themselves and they wouldn't work as hard for their family and community.

The purpose of most religious organizations and traditionalist groups is to market the vagina as the only ethical way to gain pleasure, which will make its price skyrocket. Only then will the vagina monopolize the market for sexual pleasure, which means that men will be ready to pay any price for it.

Furthermore, women have often been depicted in history as pure little angels that have sex ‘‘out of spite’’, or they do it ‘‘for men’s sake’’, almost as an act of charity. The Virgin Mary isn’t virgin for nothing; she is pure and can give birth without being soiled by a man. This too is a deceptive act meant to raise the value of the vagina. Since there is no other ethical way for men to get pleasure, and women do not seem interested in this ‘‘bestial’’ act to begin with, men then need to offer something in exchange for women’s ‘‘charity’’.

Since women are unwilling to have sex in the first place, and they only do it in order to satisfy the ‘‘ugly’’ urges of their partner, the only ethical thing that a man can do is to compensate the woman in other ways. This revolting lie facilitates the transfer of resources from men to women. After all, isn’t it the very least that we should do as men when considering that we shamelessly ‘‘push ourselves’’ unto our partners and force them to do something that they ‘‘dislike’’.

This traps the man in an unhealthy spiral, as he either feels intense guilt by pleasuring himself alone or seeks sex with his spouse even though she ‘‘dislikes it’’, which would make him feel disgraceful and inadequate as a result.

Furthermore, this teaches the man to detach himself from his enjoyment; this is done so that the only pleasure that he has permission to seek out will be related to his wife and familial duties. Alas! Even that pleasure isn’t completely guilt-free! This is all part of a man’s training to become an unfeeling draft horse and a cold-blooded soldier.

When the part of your body that is related to your greatest physical pleasure is severed at the request of your caretakers, you are told an awful unconscious message. Your pleasure is not relevant. Your desires are secondary to other things and are to be discarded.

Religious organizations saw the potential of controlling the male sex drive, and they took it without a single shred of remorse. To me, they have no integrity. It is not a coincidence that nearly every single religion asks their practitioners to circumcise their boys and disapprove of free and harmless pleasure. It is simply because they want to build strong and powerful empires. They hide their real purpose behind a message of love, compassion, and virtue when in truth, they have no scruples. There you have it; this is why I personally reject most religious organizations.

Traditionalists are no different. Even those that aren't religious are all prone to the same things. An excellent example of this is the infamous push for banning pornography in the United Kingdom. Why do you think that in recent years, the traditionalists in the UK pushed so much for a ban on pornography? It’s because they do not want to see free pleasure being available to everyone when it could lead men away from their role as disposable tools. What they need are robotic worker bees that will work all day, every day.

Now, to end another cynical chapter, let’s finish with one more painful truth. In previous chapters, I talked a lot about women and how they manipulate men, and I think that this is a good time for me to unravel all the dirt that lie in men’s hands.

The truth is that women could never enforce all of this, as they just do not possess the power to do it. Even if they tried, men would easily push them aside and laugh. Men lead religious organizations, and their goal is to ensnare other men. Although women are profiting from it since they get their hand on loyal and obedient providers, they are not the instigators who put these ideas into place.

Men did, and they did it for their own selfish purposes, for their self-interest, and to satisfy their dominance instinct. Our dominance instinct will ensure that we all want to be better than someone at something, and when this is pushed to the extreme, we get things like faith and religion.

Religion is a powerful tool to control other men and it makes them as servile as they are obedient. You are better than those that you control, thus you satisfy your dominance instinct when you hold authority over others.

The people who are going to pass the most damaging laws against men’s liberties won’t be the feminists; it will be the traditionalists. Be wary of them, as they will be the first to throw other men under the bus. Men who bend their waist at women’s every demand are the most dangerous of the bunch. They will ignore their values in order to favor women; they will betray their fellow men if it can increase their chances of getting laid and you absolutely cannot trust one of these men. Since they are so quickly able to step over their own value system, they are entirely unpredictable.

A society that is gynocentric is a society that emphasizes women’s interest and point of view at the expense of men, and today, the vast majority of men are gynocentric. If you ever end up on the Titanic and try to save your skin, be ready to be gunned down by your fellow men. If something happens and a woman accuses you of a crime that you didn’t commit, be prepared to see all the men around you arbitrarily turn toward the woman’s side; you will be seen as a perpetrator without any evidence and you won’t be shown any support.

If you end up in divorce court and your children are stolen from you, be ready to see everyone become empathetic to your ex-wife while they will only see your flaws and wrongdoings. You should even prepare yourself to see a white knight ‘‘friend’’ snatch up your ex-wife. To sum it all up, most men are gynocentric and are prone to betray you. If you have a friend who shows integrity and consistently put his values before women, you should do your utmost to keep him in your circle of closest friends and allies, as these fellows are as scarce as they are precious.

Disappointingly enough, women cannot and will never be our equals because of our biology, and sadly most men will enforce gynocentrism on everyone else. This is a double inevitability that is hard to stomach, but it is a real phenomenon none the less. I really hoped that it was different, that somehow the world was a gentler place, but in the same way that I stopped believing in Santa-Claus long ago, I also stopped believing in the modern fairy tale of equality between the sexes, in the pureness of religion, and in the myth of socialism.

I won’t dive into gynocentrism in this chapter and will end it here. But ending it, I will leave you with a little appetizer as to what gynocentrism is. It’s a part of human nature and it will never, ever go away. It is a fatality that will forever be tied to our back like a life-sucking parasite, just as it is responsible for the destruction of many empires such as Ancient Rome.

Lastly, I have a small thought for all the religious folks reading this. Like every creature on earth, humans are hedonistic, which mean that we strive to maximize our pleasure while avoiding pain and discomfort. God created man in his own image. Thus, God must also be hedonistic. If God is hedonistic, he either created the earth for his own pleasure or to avoid pain.

Genesis 1:26

Then God said: [Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.]

Whether it was for his own personal pleasure or to avoid pain, it stands to reason that God created Earth for selfish reasons.

Who knows, maybe God feared to be alone and created humanity to fill a void hidden deep within his soul, or perhaps he created Earth to flee from an unknown cosmic danger, or maybe he created humankind simply because he got a kick out of it. Whatever his reasons were, it couldn’t have been anything other than a selfish decision.
