Antelman to eliminate the opiate vol1

and it was his duty to know such things. The same excuse was
also offered, for his collection of seals but, of course, the
damning question was, "Why were these things found among
the papers of the llluminati?" When Weishaupt was confronted
with this, his reaction was "These things were not carried into
effect, only spoken of, and were justifiable when taken in
proper connection."
In another memo from Spartacus to Cato, Weishaupt is
rather verbose about his anti-religious philosophy. He felt that
Freemasonry is Concealed Christianity and that "Christ"
should be substituted with the word "reason." He then calls for
a new religion and a new state government, which explains
Masonic symbols and combines them in one degree. He also
makes reference that there is now in the Order a famous
Protestant theologian who feels that the Order of the llluminati
is the true sense of Christianity and takes great pride that he is
now the founder of a new religion.
In another piece of correspondence from Philo (Knigge) to
Cato (Zwack), Knigge refers to religious authorities as cheats
who bow to superstition and fanaticism. He advocates a slow
overthrow of religion so that the fanatics will not be alarmed
and will not be aware of what is going on. Of Jewish mysticism
he declares: "The Jewish Theosophy was a mystery like the
Eleusinsian, or the Pythagorean, unfit for the vulgar."
In September 1783, Weishaupt wrote to code name Marius
(Canon Hertel) that he is in danger of losing my honor and my
reputation, by which I have long had such influence. What
think you-my sister-in-law is with child?" He goes on further to
say, "We have tried every method in our power to destroy the
child." He then begs Marius to try to get a doctor to kill his
sister-in-law. He claims that she is in her fourth month. Then
he blames the priests because they consider abortion to be
criminal. 12 Robison points out that when this happened,
Zwack's sister is recorded as having committed suicide.
