But we all know the preparation for the concoction is always involving human sacrifice most of the time.

Still a barbaric practice if you ask me.

Chapter Twenty-Three
1. Now Umar declared, saying, I Umar, the son of Abd al-Aziz and the great grandson of caliph Umar, who was the second caliph in the history of Islam, shall direct Islam like a true muslim.
2. I shall extend the hand of friendship to many nations and win their hearts to Islam. I shall do all things according to the laws of Islam which prophet Mohammad has given us.
3. Now when Umar had gathered his assistants, he said to them, let us henceforth fight our battles secretly so that the enemies would not know the extent of our strength.
4. Let us not go all out to fight Byzantium anymore, rather let us terrorise them according to the obligation of Jihad.
5. Now the sayings of Umar was accepted by all his governors, generals and aides. Then they withdrew their troops who were in Byzantium, for they were already losing the battles.
6. Now Umar wrote letters to many nations of the world, including China, Japan, Greece and even the Romans, saying, check Islam and see for yourself if it is not a great religion. Examine it to see if it is true.
7. Now when Gregory the christian pope had received and read the letter which Umar had sent, he called his colleagues and laughed, saying, this caliph is writing to convince me. We know that our religion Christianity is built upon the false character Jesus and we also know that their religion Islam is built upon a false god Allah. Therefore what profit shall it do us to leave our falsehood for another?
8. So let everyone enjoy the falsehood invented by his own people and let their own falsehood control their own minds only while our own control our minds.
9. Now Umar called a feast to celebrate the 100th year of the existence of Islam on earth. And many people from far and wide entered Ramla to celebrate the feast. Then Umar invited many to the mosque called al-Abyad, which he had begun to develop for such purpose.
10. For Umar had calculated that he would have become the caliph at the 100th year of the existence of Islam, which was the 718th C.E because of his closeness with Raja, who was the one who made it possible for him.
11. Now Umar said, I have worked upon this mosque by the revelation of Allah to restrict all whirlwinds and earthquakes and all forms of natural disasters, according to the wisdom of Allah.
12. Let the Muslims gather in Ramla every 100 years to celebrate the anniversary of Islamic religion in this mosque.
13. Now it came to the hearing of Umar that some Christians had claimed that the land upon which the construction of the mosque was made belonged to them.
14. Now this claim was the truth, for in the days when Sulaiman the former caliph set his eyes upon the mosque, it was owned by a group of Christians called the Julian.
15. For the christian group had intended to make a small church on the site, for they had kept some building materials there already.
16. But when Sulaiman, who was the governor of Palestine in those days, had relocated to Ramla and made it the capital city, he discovered the land and took it from the christian group and sent them away from the place.
17. Now while the 100th anniversary of Islam continued in the mosque called al-Abyad, Umar sent his people, saying, go and fetch the Christians who claimed that this site belonged to them.
18. So thirteen people were brought before Umar. Then he said, do you people have the gut to claim the possession of Allah?
19. Let Allah slaughter his slave if I, Umar the son of Abd Al-Aziz do not slaughter you and share your flesh among the people these days?
20. So Umar called the slaughterers and they secretly divided the flesh of the thirteen Christians among the dignitaries of Islam who fed on them, for most of them had learnt how to feed on the flesh of fellow human beings during the battle period at Constantinople, when they ate themselves when there was lack of food supply.
21. Now the names of the thirteen Christians who were murdered were Agabus, Titus, Timon, Marcus, Joseph, John, Simon, Thomas, Williams, Alexander, Lydia, Theophilus and Ananias.
22. Now by accident, some of the minor muslims who were around the mosque discovered that these dignitaries of Islam ate those who were killed, then there arose a great confusion among them.
23. And there was chaos, for people ran helter skelter, with the cry of abomination! Then a stampede occurred right around the mosque and two hundred and five people died while many were injured.
24. Now the caliph sought by all means to quell the news such that it was declared to the public that such occurrence did not happen but was just a rumour.
25. And anyone who mentioned it in those days was arrested and judged.
Christianity Etc › Re: The Doctrine Of The Ufos by OtemAtum:
Chapter Twenty-Two
1. Now when Sulaiman became the caliph, he was expected to relocate from Palestine where he was the governor over, to reign from Damascus, which was the head city in Syria.
2. Now Sulaiman sought the counsel of his adviser Raja and he was advised not to shift base.
3. So Sulaiman remained in the capital city of Palestine called Ramla in those days. And from there he oversaw the affairs of other lands which were under the rule of Islam.
4. Now Raja advised Sulaiman saying, if you do not want to die earlier than your time, why do you surround yourself with the friends of al-Walid whom he had appointed as governors and the executors of his commands?
5. Although al-Walid your brother is dead, yet he lives through his son Abd al-Aziz. And if there are some of these people exposing the secret of your government to Abd al-Aziz, then your reign will not last.
6. For Abd al-Aziz and his people will come and overtake you in a day which you do not expect.
7. So Sulaiman heed the warning of Raja and removed many officials of Al-Walid in Iraq, Yaman and in many other Islamic territories.
8. Now a man named Yasmin had declared five years before the beginning of the reign of Sulaiman that Byzantium shall be totally conquered by a caliph whose name shall be the same of the name of a prophet.
9. Now Raja went to Sulaiman and said, great caliph, have you thought about that prophecy which was made in Syria five years earlier?
10. The prophet Yasmin does not prophesy anything without fulfillment. Therefore arise and make war with Byzantium and you shall be victorious.
11. You shall conquer Constantinople and take the land captive. Then Islam shall expand further and your caliphate shall never be forgotten in history.
12. Now Sulaiman said, it is the truth that I bear the name of a prophet of the Quran, but do you think that this prophecy shall be fulfilled?
13. Now Raja said, if our prophet Mohammad did not give it a trial to begin this religion, shall we have anything called Islam?
14. But because of the decision which he made in those days, we now have Islam, which is even more powerful than Zoroastrianism.
15. Only Christianity wields more power than us these days, but if we continue to fight Jihad, we shall overtake it someday.
16. Now Sulaiman the great one, give it a trial and let us see how Allah will come to our aid.
17. Now Sulaiman called Maslama and Sulaiman, the son of Mu'ad and instructed them to get ready for a siege on Constantinople which was the capital city of Byzantium.
18. Now while the troops of the Arabians encamped in the lands around Byzantium, they were attacked by the Byzantines and many of them were killed.
19. Many of their ships were burnt up also and they began to lose their strength.
20. When Sulaiman, the caliph heard the report of the battle, he was cold. Then he began to fall sick.
21. Now in those days, during winter, there was snow all over the place and the Ummayad armies began to lack food. Then they began to die of cold and hunger.
22. Now Sulaiman the caliph was very sick such that he had to name a successor after him. Now he called on his adviser, Raja, saying, who shall I name my successor? Should I not name Ayyub my first son the caliph after me?
23. Now Raja said, you know that many of the armies are friends to Umar your cousin and they will be loyal to him over Ayyub your son who is even sick at the moment.
24. Remember that the caliphate should have been bestowed on Abd al-Aziz, the father of this Umar in those days, but he died before your father died.
25. Now if you name him your successor, he will conquer the Byzantines and it shall be for your honour, but if you name anyone else, then the Ummayad armies who are currently in the field would be weak in mind.
26. Then they shall withdraw from the battle and the Byzantines shall become victorious.
27. Now Sulaiman did not heed the advice of Raja this time, rather, he said, I will not agree with you this time, Raja.
28. Now Raja went to see Umar secretly. Then he said to him, I am working currently on your request that I should persuade Sulaiman to name you as his successor.
29. He is very ill right now, as well as Ayyub his first son. Now I will go in to Ayyub and kill him, so that the caliph might reconsider his decision.
30. Now Raja went in to Ayyub on his sick bed at dusk. Then he pressed his neck until he had breathed his last. Then he went out of the room carefully.
31. Now when the nurse went in to see Ayyub, they found him dead. Then he was buried and his father wept for him.
32. Now Sulaiman said, I will name Dawud my son the successor to my seat, perhaps he shall become the caliph whom the prophet had prophesied to conquer Byzantium.
33. For truly he bears the name of a prophet in the Quran. Was Dawud not a prophet, who was even the father of the wise Sulaiman?
34. Now when Raja heard him, he said, you and I know that Dawud is in the middle of a great battle at the moment and there is no assurance that he would return.
35. Therefore let us look elsewhere and name Umar the caliph, because he is a good man who fears Allah and one whom the people love so much.
36. Now while Sulaiman delayed in naming the successor, Raja paid two men, named Hashim and Kazim to bear false witness.
37. Now the two men came in to Sulaiman, dressed like the Ummayad soldiers. Then they said to him, your son Dawud has been killed on the battle field.
38. The Byzantines have taken away his corpse, else we would have him brought to you.
39. Now Sulaiman was very weak when he had heard the news and his health condition became worse.
40. Then on his dying bed, he quickly called for the presence of some of the important Islamic people including Raja, then he said, let Umar the son of Abd al-Aziz be the caliph after me and my brother Yazid shall be his successor. Umar is my cousin and I know his strength.
41. Let him lead Islam to victory and conquer every land on earth until all lands and all nations on earth has been islamized.
42. Now Sulaiman died and Umar, the son of Abd-al Aziz became the caliph after him.

Otem Erectus 226:11-28


11. otem, the adopted son of all gods and goddesses of the earth, stay here until we have fought and won all the gods in a psychospiritual battle. You shall see how we shall defeat them.
12. Now otem stood and watched how the gods went farther away from him. And as they went farther, it seemed to him as if they were still standing before him, for distance was made into an illusion as if it no more existed. And it was as if a screen was showing the thing to otem.
13. And otem saw how all gods of religion gather and say, we shall not let humanity and dwellers of the earth have rest of mind. And Allah said, I cannot let go my impact upon the earth.
14. Now many homos who died religious had been made the same with the gods. And they had almost equal powers with the gods. And they said also, the religion which we practise on earth must not be defeated.
15. Now Yahweh said, what shall my great name become in the mouths of the people of the earth if i agree that religion should be made of none effect in their minds? Shall they not curse my name forever?
16. And Eubius said, what shall happen to the history of Krishtanite which I have written? I shall rather protect it, or else I shall be found the greatest liar in history. And Mirza and Moloch and Eshu and many other gods said, the fun of the earth shall be lost when they do not call upon our names anymore.
17. And their continual weeping to the gods, being fun to us, shall be a thing of the past. No, we shall not allow this. Now while they spoke, the gods who wanted science and development in the world came and said, are you ready for the battle? And they said, we are ready.
18. And the battle began.
19. And otem heard voices and saw many gods how they did all manner of inexplicable things. And there were vacuums, but only otem and the gods of findings saw the vacuums.
20. And when the gods of religion had entered into the vacuums, they were not seen anymore.
21. And otem awoke. And his pupils had broken the door of his house when he did not appear in the school that day. And they had done many things to revive him.
22. And otem said, I saw all the things which you do to my body to rescue me. Why do you sit on my chest and blew my nose? Why do you disturb my sweet sleep? For the words which are made flesh are currently being conquered.
23. And henceforth, all sacred texts shall be seen as the things useful for refuse dump. And they shall lose the powers behind them, because all gods who insist on continual deception of the world through their threatening and motivational books are currently being held captive in vacuums.
24. Now for a space of three months, otem continually saw how the gods stepped into vacuums and were not seen anymore.
25. Now when eighty-nine days was complete, the gods of findings began to carry the vacuums in their hands, dumping them into a larger vacuum. For the vacuums began to become visible when they had carried them. And they dumped more than two hundred and fifty nine thousand vacuums into a larger one.
26. And they said, otem of truth, we have overcome the gods by vacuums, so go and make known all the things which you have seen. For we imagined the vacuums with our thoughts for the capture of the gods who are antihumans.
27. And in the vacuums shall they be for a thousand years. This is the spiritual cage of all gods who oppose development. And focus shall be shifted from the words in the books to the thoughts of the heads.
28. And a period shall come when the pastors and the priests of many religions shall begin to misbehave. For their gods are encaged. And the minds of many homos shall begin to go after the truth within themselves rather than the lies written in the books of lies.

If you fear death, yet believe that God does not exist, then you are being irrational. Then again, maybe you uncertain whether death is the end of your existence. ARE YOU READY TO DIE?
Fearing death is a natural thing. Even animals fear death, not because they think that they will go to hell fire after death or because they will face judgement, but because the fear of death is intrinsically woven into human consicounsness. Even Allah and Yahweh your gods fear death.

Well, I Otem have been telling people for almost three years now that Yahweh and other gods of religions like him are currently held in their spiritual cage for the eyes of the people to be opened and I will not cease to declare it.

Otem Erectus 227:1,2
1. Now after this did Otem begin to say, Yahweh, Allah, Moloch, Mazda and all gods of the books are now encaged in a spiritual vacuum. And those who heard him said, keep quiet, for you are mad.
2. And Otem said, why can you not open your inner eyes and see this truth? Where are the illusions of fearful fire? Where are the illusions of demons? They are all conquered.

So people should know that their gods cannot do anything to protect them, so they should be more cautious. PEACE!!!

Oh a fool had said in his heart "there's no God"
To even say that there's no God doesn't make anyone a fool, because going by what the religious people call God, it is inexistent. But going by what is actually God, then there is God.
I know what is God Almighty. God Almighty is the TOTALITY OF EXISTENCE. God Almighty is the Summation of all consciousnesses. God Almighty is the summation of the Multiverse.
God Almighty created Yahweh your god, Allah the Muslim god, Olorun the Yoruba god, Atum an African god, Nzame an African god, etc.

Yahweh, the imprisoned god is not up to 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of God Almighty his creator, so attributing the title 'God' to little and insignificant Yahweh is a slap on the face of EXISTENCE.

Christianity Etc › Re: The Doctrine Of The Ufos by OtemAtum:
Chapter Twenty-One
1. Now in the days of al-Walid, many mosques were built and some churches were turned to mosques also.
2. Many small mosques were expanded and the mosques which were in Medina were made to function well.
3. Al-Walid also committed himself to minting of money as his father did in his days.
4. He relied on al-Hajjaj to a great extent and they worked together to expand the territories of Islam.
5. Now when al-Hajjaj died, al-Walid fell on his knees and wept. Then he said, al-Hajjaj the hero has fallen.
6. The east wind and the west wind shall sing your praise before Allah. The birds of the air shall carry your name from place to place in their wings until you shall be known all over the earth.
7. Al-Hajjaj the faithful friend of my father and my own protector, my own strength, arise again and do not lie flat.
8. The war is coming close, get on your feet and fight as you always do. Al-Hajjaj the son of Yusuf, arise and make war for Islam.
9. Fight the fight of Jihad. Take the Christians, the Zoroastrians, the Jews, the Buddhists and the Hinduists by surprise and expand Islam upon them.
10. Now al-Walid fell sick and broke down because of the death of al-Hajjaj whom his soul had been entwined to.
11. Then diseases began to manifest, first on his forehead on which he touched the ground to pray to Allah. Then he had more diseases on his skin.
12. Then he said, take me to Dayr Murran to rest there while Abd al-Aziz my son sits on the seat of the caliph till I come.
13. Now al-Walid did this so that he could make his son the caliph after him, because he knew that he would die at Dayr Murran.
14. For his brother Sulaiman was the successor to the seat of the caliph, according to the arrangement of their father, Abd al-Malik, who had said, after you al-Walid, let your brother Sulaiman become the caliph.
15. But al-Walid wanted his son to be the caliph after him, so he said to him, sit as the caliph until I return from Dayr Murran.
16. So al-Walid was taken to Dayr Murran and his son represented him. Now when Sulaiman heard that Abd al-Aziz the son of Abd al-Walid had been put on the seat to represent his father, he went and made enquiries to know if his brother had died.
17. Now al-Walid heard the deed of Sulaiman, then he called to Umar his brother-in-law, who was also the son of Abd al-Aziz his cousin.
18. Then he asked Umar, saying, I heard how Sulaiman my brother is coming close to take the seat of the caliph. What have you heard?
19. Now Umar said, it is true great caliph. Sulaiman has consulted all the powerful people of Islam who witnessed the event in which your father Abd al-Malik named your brother as your successor.
20. Now all these people are behind him, saying, we will make sure that we make it right by giving Sulaiman his entitlement.
21. Now al-Walid said, I know that I will die soon, but let no one know of my death so that my son Abd al-Aziz could rule after me until he is strong to defend himself against Sulaiman my brother.
22. Now al-Walid died and Umar arranged for his burial, inviting only fifteen faithfuls of al-Walid, having charged them to keep his death a secret.
23. However, one of the fifteen people named Rahman the son of Sadiq was a friend of Sulaiman, therefore he told Sulaiman about the death of al-Walid his brother.
24. Now Sulaiman went and told the powerful people of Islam, saying, my brother is dead but they hide this information from the public.
25. Arise and let us go to Dayr Murran to see if it is so. Now in the second month after the death of al-Walid, Sulaiman went to Dayr Murran with twenty powerful people of Islam, including the governor of Egypt, the governor of Medina and also the king of Yemen.
26. Then they confirmed the death of al-Walid, but they said, let us not make a noise about it, so that our religion would not be put to shame by the pagans and the Christians.
