The scientists of theEU, to escape humankind’s most evil and persistent delusion, have a plan to upgrade the human race. The road to this brave new world connects in a mysterious but fundamental way with the West’s Roman past.

VERUS is a satire on humankind’s most evil and persistent delusion: religion. Though some may see this book as profane, concepts such as “profanity” and “sin” have meaning only within the context of theism. For non-theists, the words have no meaning. And those who see theism clearly for what it is—not just a delusion but a great social evil—will no longer be bound by conventions of respect. Theism deserves no respect; and to accord it is neither rational nor honest.

Though the book, at first glance, may give a contrary impression, the author’s purpose in writing VERUS is not to make fun of any particular faith, but to ridicule the Grand Assembly of Believers, which is all those who devout themselves to a cult of the invisible. The author’s sole motivation in choosing to write on this topic is duty informed by a habit of truth.

Man is the measure of all things; and truth is the measure of all men. Truth alone is sacred, entitled to respect, and reverence. The truth knows no sides, belongs to no one, and is influenced by no one. It extends to infinity and endures beyond time. It is never qualified, it is never more or less, better or worse. It neither grows nor shrinks. It does not bend for a single tree ape, and not for millions of them, either. It is never revealed through prayer or by invocation.

The road to it, though infiinite, is open to all who stand erect.
