“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”
> “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”
If I’m not mistaken those are Aleister Crowley’s words from The Satanic Bible which he wrote (probably while high on heroin) aren’t they?
Thelema (/θəˈliːmə/) is a religion based on a philosophical law of the same name, which has been adopted as a central tenet by some religious organizations. The law of Thelema is "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under will." The law of Thelema was developed in the early 1900s by Aleister Crowley, an English writer and ceremonial magician
"The Thelemic pantheon includes a number of deities, primarily a trinity adapted from ancient Egyptian religion...The philosophy also emphasizes the ritual practice of Magick." "Thelemic magick is a system of physical, mental, and spiritual exercises which practitioners believe are of benefit.[58] Crowley defined magick as "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will".. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelema
In any case, even the Christian version, "Love God and do what you will," as well as the Golden Rule, presupposes a foundational moral code which teaches what God wills, and what one should want or not want done unto them. Which for an atheist does not exist in any transcendent supreme form.
