Repentance requires two things, forgiveness and stopping all sinful behavior.

Easily said but hard to do.
In order for your sins to be forgiven you must forgive those who sinned against you. Whether that was an insult, theft, physically hurt, etc

You must use empathy and/or perspective in order to put yourself in the shoes of the person who harmed you, then understand exactly why they did what they did to you. The person's reasoning as well as what they were feeling at the time they hurt you, no matter how major/minor.

Saying to yourself i forgave them, i don't want to think or talk about them is not forgiveness. That is trying to forget, not forgive. Once you have truly forgiven someone then you should have no trouble talking about what they did or thinking about what that person did.

For instance, my dad betrayed me by teaming up with a greedy executor of a will. he received more money from the estate. Putting myself in his shoes and the executors shoes, they believed i would have wasted it and also wanted more money for themselves. Originally i just considered them to be greedy, but they have their own families and i probably would have spent the money on drugs or shopping.
So i have a much better understanding of why they did what they did, i reconize my own part and how they saw things. So i can more easily forgive them.

"for when you forgive men their trespasses your heavenly father will also forgive your trespasses"

Empathy and putting yourself in the shoes of the other person is how you can truly forgive.

Repentance is for every single human on earth.No it is not race dependent, satanic tricks are not a race either rabbi. Encouraging hatred against the jews for political reasons only hurt innocents spiritually. A sick catch 22, one that more and more are avoiding. 

I will keep posting here and elsewhere where you and those like you can not subvert or distract with bait.
 For the discerning reader this mans post is full of traps to cause a Christian to hate and sin. He does this because he is scared. he does this because he has made the choice to be evil and follow satan. I forgive you and thank you for the example of what NOT to do.
if i am wrong about you, then you should really focus on repentance.

Anyone who follows the national dialogue surrounding immigration issues in the USA, especially as it relates to illegal immigration, is sure to have encountered the so-called “biblical” arguments advanced by theological liberals for unlimited, unhindered immigration.  One of the stock-in-trades of the pro-amnesty, anti-borders, pro-globalism side of the argument is to put some left-wing religious figure before a microphone and have them repeat out-of-context biblical citations, mostly drawn from the Pentateuch (which is generally the only portion of the Bible with which their handlers are familiar).  These verses typically include,

“Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 22:21)

“Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 23:9)

“And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.  But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.” (Leviticus 19:33-34)

“And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.” (Leviticus 25:35)

“Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” (Deuteronomy 10:19)

One must admit that it seems a bit odd to see theological leftists, who at no other time would believe what the Bible says or take its words at face value, suddenly morph into textual literalists on this one, specific issue.

The average person looks at these progressive arguments and thinks that there’s no way the Bible is really telling us that we should take in unlimited numbers of immigrants while ignoring the laws of the land and replacing our own populations with inassimilable foreigners.

When I was in high school, I had a teacher called Mr. Day. He was my hero. He wore a bow tie to class and could do standing backflips. Once upon a time, Mr. Day had been a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Boston, but he quit after losing his faith. So, naturally, he was hired to teach Religious Studies at a Catholic prep school.

Mr. Day really was a great guy. He was the first person to encourage me to study theology. (Now you know who to blame.) I was amazed by the world he opened up to us. He told us about the Q Source and the Pantera Thesis. We read apocryphal texts such as the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, where the Christ Child kills several of His playmates.

Above all, it was the Gnostic Gospels that fascinated me. When the Nag Hammadi codices were unearthed in 1945, the very concept of “orthodoxy” was completely debunked. Contrary to what religious conservatives might claim, there was no consensus in the Early Church. The first followers of Christ couldn’t agree on the nature of His teachings or the events of His life.

Even their cosmologies were radically different. For instance, the Psalms say, “The gods of the nations are demons.” Yet, to the Gnostic Christians, they were actually Archons: celestial “rulers” who corresponded to the seven planets. For instance, the god Saturn is actually the demiurge Yaldabaoth; he was known to the Jews as the Samael, the angel of death.

As contemporary scholars such as Marcus Borg and Bart Ehrman point out, such a fundamental disagreement about the nature of the Heavenly powers in itself disproves the very concept of “orthodoxy.”

Right?

The field of religious studies is full of myths and absurdities. The most pervasive is that of the “Dark Ages.” Supposedly, every library in the West was destroyed in the years after the Fall of Rome (A.D. 467). The Greco-Roman tradition was virtually unknown in Europe until these manuscripts were reintroduced by Byzantine scholars who escaped the Fall of Constantinople (A.D. 1453).

Yet this is absurd. The writings of Thomas Aquinas should single-handedly put this myth to rest. Aquinas quotes broadly from classical sources including Aristotle, Plato, Democritus, Virgil, Cicero, and Seneca.

Note: This post is book-length. It is far too long for email and is a very long read. It will take you some time to go through. Nonetheless, I hope you find it edifying and a blessing.

It has been said that the Pagan opts to worship what he cannot be bothered to read, while the Christian reads what he cannot be bothered to worship. Arguably, on the topic of this substack, both the Christian and the Pagan are equal… Equal in their incompetence with regards to eschatology, history, and all those logos words.

To get to my point:

There is no such thing as a Judaeo-Christian identity.

To most Americans, these words will trigger some emotional response, to either fight the claim, or celebrate it. Even some of you who now celebrate it likely have some parts of you still wanting to fight it - I know this psychological leach well. We’re told it is the sea with which our cultural and moral animus swims in - and yet, that hyphen in the term ought to immediately trigger our suspicions, if we be good Christian people.

Now, if you are reading this and you are from an Asiatic or African ancestry, it is unlikely this substack will be that relevant to you. This substack is primarily in response to European Neopagan claims regarding the Christian religion. You can read on if you wish to consider these things, but this substack will be very European focused, and you will likely not find anything here relevant to your faith or identity. I take no offense if you take off at this point. God bless you.

Now, as to the term “Judaeo-Christian”, the damage from that hyphen must be first emphasized. A great many of the Pagan’s rejection of Christianity derives from this, as well as - to a lesser extent - the atheist’s contestation. It signals to them that it is a foreign religion, come from a foreign land. Well, dear Christian reader, suppose I said they are right? Suppose I said we ought declare the pagans wise to see it as such. Suppose I said: “Pity the Christian that doesn’t”?

The question ought not be if Judaeo-Christian anything is foreign - it most certainly is. The question is if Christianity can exist without this hyphen - it must certainly can.

On Midrash and other matters

There is not much more to write about the other options in that Twitter Poll. I’m sure it’s common-sense Christians do not read the Midrash, nor do they speak Hebrew to any particularly popular amount. But, there are some minor issues to give mention to here. For instance, that the Jews themselves relied on Greek manuscripts for their religion - some possibly Christian in origin. There is also worth mention that the Rabbis themselves, accidentally, confess to Christ’s deity. Oh yes, dear reader, this is one of my favorite little anecdotes. Hidden away in Yona 39, the rabbis say thus:

The Sages taught: During the tenure of Shimon HaTzaddik, the lot for God always arose in the High Priest’s right hand; after his death, it occurred only occasionally; but during the forty years prior to the destruction of the Second Temple, the lot for God did not arise in the High Priest’s right hand at all. So too, the strip of crimson wool that was tied to the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel did not turn white, and the westernmost lamp of the candelabrum did not burn continually.

I will skip the various rabbinical miracles at the temple and be brief. 40 years before the destruction of the Temple was when Christ was crucified. Thus the Jews confess the Holy Spirit left the temple when Christ was doing his 3 year ministry that ended with his death and resurrection. Whether this occurred when he was baptized, or crucified, I care not. Sufficient is the statement that it aligns with Christ’s ministry. A sure sign the Christian Church was a new beginning, distinct from Judaism, and not merely its continuation - which God outright abandoned by departing from the Temple and going unto the hearts of the Gentiles.

In another tale, Emperor Julian the Apostate wanted to disprove Christianity by rebuilding the Temple of Solomon and prove Christ’s words a lie. Both Pagan and Christian sources declare a fireball from heaven consumed the temple mount and killed or injured all. The Emperor abandoned his plans.

Of tales like these, I have many. Sufficient is it to point to a clear cutting off of Israel, and a grafting in of the Gentile Christians.

On the language itself, it’s worth noting that the Jews didn’t even speak Hebrew for most of the Middle Ages. Their manuscripts were Greek up until the creation of the Masoretic texts in the 11th century. Hebrew more or less went extinct in the Middle Ages. Many of my readers may not be aware, but the Hebrew spoken in Israel today is an artificial reconstruction from the past three centuries. As Zionism began to grow in that time, a desire began festering to rebuild the identity. Thus, Modern Hebrew was born. There actually isn’t much of a continuity to this, and the pronunciation differences between remnant Jews in Iran and Baghdad to that of European Jews with their invented Modern Hebrew is an amusing flashpoint between Zionists and Palestinian natives.

I could go fetch sources about this, but we’re at 5000 words give or take, and I trust you can investigate this on your own time. Here’s the wikipedia page.

Other Thought

For me, and this is my personal speculation, I think the greatest evidence that Christianity is not Jewish comes in the form of what Judaism even was in the days of Christ. Namely, it was not a singular religion. What became the Judaism we know of today is primarily derived from the Pharisees. But they were only the Jewish religion in Jerusalem. Jesus was not from Jerusalem. Moreover, there were a number of other denominations around the region indirectly related to the Jewish Pharisees. There were the Sadducees, who wished to see Judaism reformed into a Hellenistic religion. There were the Zealots, who wished to see Judaism become a militant force once again. There were the Essenes, who entirely rejected the Temple and the priest and the entire sacrificial system - by far, the least Jewish of them all. There were also the Samaritans, who descend from the other 11 tribes of Israel, and various Indo-European and Canaanite peoples neighboring them. These people had their own Holy Mountain they went to, and were not called Jews at all - though they worshipped YHWH and obeyed - in varying degrees - either the Laws of Moses or the Laws of Noah. There were yet still, the Magi who came to visit Christ from the East. These Zoroastrians came to believe YHWH through prophet Daniel, and made their own pact with God through Daniel’s promises. We can see echoes elsewise, such as the Greek Titans having similar names to the Sons of Noah, and the mention by Plato and Socrates that the gods were mostly an invention of city-states trying to create stability - that there was a secret high God that the City States were trying to erase:

Neither, if we mean our future guardians to regard the habit of quarrelling among themselves as of all things the basest, should any word be said to them of the wars in heaven, and of the plots and fightings of the gods against one another, for they are not true… Then God, if he be good, is not the author of all things, as the many assert, but he is the cause of a few things only, and not of most things that occur to men. For few are the goods of human life, and many are the evils, and the good is to be attributed to God alone; of the evils the causes are to be sought elsewhere, and not in him... Then we must not listen to Homer or to any other poet who is guilty of the folly of saying that two casks lie at the threshold of Zeus, full of lots, one of good, the other of evil lots... Shall I ask you whether God is a magician, and of a nature to appear insidiously now in one shape, and now in another --sometimes himself changing and passing into many forms, sometimes deceiving us with the semblance of such transformations; or is he one and the same immutably fixed in his own proper image?... Then it is impossible that God should ever be willing to change; being, as is supposed, the fairest and best that is conceivable, every god remains absolutely and for ever in his own form.

-Plato’s Republic (Book 3?)

There are more still beyond that. Suffice to say, YHWH was not only the God of the Jews. He was well known to others, too. To declare that any interest in this God - the High God above all - to all be Jewish fables, is rather silly me thinks. But, if at the end of this text the Pagan is left with nothing but a cry that all he hates is Jewish, then I shall say all I hate is Pagan, and part ways with dealing with such an immature complainer.

A Note on the Essenes

On the Essenes, I make one final note: They appear to be the true origins of Christianity, not the Jews. For the Essenes confessed in Enoch that God is three persons, though one God:

There I beheld the Ancient of days, whose head was like white wool, and with him another, whose countenance resembled that of man. His countenance was full of grace, like that of one of the holy angels. Then I inquired of one of the angels, who went with me, and who showed me every secret thing, concerning this Son of man; who he was; whence he was; and why he accompanied the Ancient of days.

On the Errors of Friedrich Nietzsche

With the summation of this tract, let us now return to the claims of Nietzsche. It is worth noting that Antichrist, the text in which he subverted the term “Judaeo-Christian” to mean as we understand it today, was itself something of a response to another book by the same title, L'Antechrist, by Ernest Renan - written some 20 years prior. Nietzsche does indeed mention this man directly in his own text, so we must understand that Nietzsche was more-so criticizing the liberalization of Christianity occurring in France and Prussia at the time, than with historic Christianity. But whether he conflates the two by ignorance or malice, I care not. He is wrong in either approach. We can be very simple here, as always, and point to the glowing bright fallacy at the core of Nietzsche’s works: That the slave can never be honest. This is a Motte & Bailey worth investigating more another time, but suffice to say: Nietzsche works with the Motte that slaves are inherently dishonest, while masters are inherently honest, to then jump to the Bailey that Christianity is a Jewish religion because they are both slave morality. This is easy to dismiss: Paul confesses he is a slave, and thus he is honest.

The wise amongst you will recall this paradox exists within the Gospels themselves. When Paul calls Epimenides correct that all Cretens are liars, he is using a paradox. Obviously if all Cretens are liars, Epimenides is not to be trusted when he calls his people liars - for he, a Creten, must be lying too. Nietzsche has a similar paradox here, when he says all slaves are dishonest, but Paul must be telling the truth when he says he is a slave - thus are Christians no longer slaves if slaves only lie?

This is all very convoluted, but it’s wise for Nietzsche to place his lie hidden away in a paradox like that. A pity few Pagans and Atheists ever notice.

Rather than dismissing Nietzsche as a babbling idiot, let us reflect on some of his claims in light of this rather long text I’ve put together - just to be sure the man is wrong.

Where Nietzsche says:

Precisely for this reason the Jews are the most fateful people in the history of the world: their influence has so falsified the reasoning of mankind in this matter that today the Christian can cherish anti-Semitism without realizing that it is no more than the final consequence of Judaism.

We Christians can point to Noah’s Covenant as the proof we predate Judaism. We do not suffer this tendency in Modern Judaism to hand-wave obviously failed messiahs and prophets that the Zionists have collected these 2,00 years of waiting. We got our Messiah 2,000 years ago, and he gave us as an inheritance, the promises of Israel - which we inherited with Christ’s death, to enjoy with him with His resurrection. Christ, the perfect Jew, accomplished the Old Testament - and in so doing, granted us all the blessings of Israel without need to submit to Moses’ Torah and its demands. Nietzche had it backwards. Christianity is not the final consequence of Judaism, Judaism is the natural consequence of rejecting Christ’s inheritance.

Note: Dear Reader, this is something of a sister article of my previous article >>1692

The Task at Hand

At least once a week, someone asks me to pen my thoughts on Panchaia Theory - most of them unknowingly. What they really ask is my opinion on the origin of the Indo-European gods. In academic circles, both modern an ancient, Panchaia Theory was the most controversial answer: They were men - ancestral stories of elder kings and great warriors of even elder lore.

I have decided to finally sit down and write an article on said thoughts. By no means will this be a conclusive or all-encompassing article. I will be mostly focusing on Zeus and Apollo, but the process can be applied to any gods and goddesses you want to investigate for links to Noah. This article will also attempt to remain tethered to the topic via the thesis question:

Can the gods of the Indo-European pantheon be identified as biblical or historic characters, such as kings and warriors?


For starters, Jesus Christ himself seems to say yes, the gods are ancient men. He tells his audience that the gods were merely those blessed men of old to whom words from his Father in heaven had been spoken through:

Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’? If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

The Hittite Knot


If we understand The Ionians are really Javanites, and that the Luwians/Lydians are themselves something of an alternate name, we at least can dig into their oldest artifacts to start finding divinities and the gradual transformation from great leaders to gods. However, there is one problem. The Luwians were conquered and subjugated by the Hittites for a few centuries, and the Hittites were extremely resistant to syncretism. Multiple sources I’ll leave at the end of this say that Hittites described their religion as “The Thousand gods of Hattusa”. This means that even if a dozen towns had a god by the same name, the Hittites regarded these as 12 individual gods, rather than 1. For the duration of their empire, any deviation in pronouncement of names, or celebration of ceremonies, resulted in the Hittites regarding that as an entirely separate and unique deity, and making a whole new cult in regard to it. The duration of Hittite rule can be regarded as a kind of void, after which great confusion permeated until the time of the Greeks. This complicates things greatly.

There’s also a bit of a problem in regards to who the Hittites were. The city and land itself are described as being founded by Heth, son of Canaan. That would make them Hamite, not Japhetite. However, this is mostly a product of 19th century archeology. When Europeans started archeological adventures in the region, they simply called this people group the Hittites because they were north of Lebanon, and the Bible describes these people as being north of Lebanon. However, the actual Hittite Empire had no formal name for itself initially, and the term Hittite may be speaking only of the remnant states that formed after it fell, which were predominantly Luwianians who had adopted the name Hittite. Here it must be mentioned, even though the Hittites conquered the Luwianians, in time the power of the Hittite Empire shifted towards the Luwianians and they would go on leading the empire. Troy, the great city of Homer’s stories, was one of the prized western cities of this Empire.

To be clear here, the Hittites spoke an Indo-European language. Regardless of who founded Hattusa, the Luwianians would go on to rule the city, meaning that the ultimate lineage here to draw from would be the Javanite line. But, this tug-of-war between the two societies means there’s a tangled up mess between the two that we have to entangle. A knot. Perhaps helpful here is a map to see the gradient between the two.

And, the later Luwianian-led Hittite rump states mentioned in the Bible, can be seen here:

Syro–Hittite states - Wikidata
If you’ve read my previous article, the Judaeo-Christian Myth, you know these people had familiar northern European deities like Thor and Odin and wore hammer neckless like the Vikings did 2000 years later. I stated there that, due to the presence of Cyprian metals in Scandinavia at this time, that some kind of trade route clearly existed to the far north through the Black Sea and Eastern European rivers. It’s rather fascinating to see the spread of these cultures and religions so early, but this is important to remember: These people are the intellectual ancestors of the Nordic people. If you think this is impossible, remember that Vikings sailed to Constantinople and Iran through these same routes. Although, this is different from blood relations, of which they likely come through those sons of Japheth who went north through the Caucuses.

We do have many records of their gods, and even at 2000 BC we see many familiar forms. They were primarily as follows:

The Crete Knot

I mentioned earlier the peculiarities surrounding Creten mythology: Zeus is not a figure in the archeology initially, and when he does show up, he is presented a bit more mortal: Having been born and died on the Island - a story greatly offensive to the mainland.

The language of the region is known as Linear, because it was indeed written in a linear fashion. Linear A remains mostly untranslated, while Linear B seems to not talk about Zeus that much. For instance, we have quite a few names referencing Zeus - Diwo and Diwi, from d’Yeus - but never anything about Zeus himself. Dionysos shows up, whose name references Zeus, but not Zeus himself. Even Diwia, thought to be a female Zeus that would become Dione, but not Zeus himself. Indeed, Athena is originally written as atanadiuja or atanadiwija - Athena, of Zeus. But nothing of the god himself. He has Sanctuaries, to be sure. But no tales in Linear B so much I can find.

Perhaps Zeus was a title, not a god, in these early years? Perhaps meaning Heaven, light, or something. Nonetheless, at some point a figure would be considered the personification of heaven, and thus was “born” Zeus. On Crete there is a cave known as Diktaean, which his thought to be the birthplace of Zeus. He is said to have died at Mt. Yuchtas, where a tomb was built for him. This is recorded in Callimachus’s Hymn to Zeus, ~300BC:

How shall we sing of him – as lord of Dicte, or of Lycaeum? My soul is all in doubt, since debated is hi

The Dorian Knot

Greece is thought to have been settled in three waves. The initial settlement by the Ionians (Javan’s kin) occurred around 2000BC, which I’ve covered above. Around 1500BC, the Achaeans settled, who in Greek tradition are considered brotherkin of the Ionians. I’ve skipped over them because their origins are a bit unclear, but that they are brotherkin of the Ionians is sufficient. You can hear how Mycenaeans and Achaeans are related, as well.

The final migration was that of the Dorians, an Indo-European people from the far north, sometimes called Hyperborea. This was around 1200 BC and is regarded by Greek tradition to be an actual military invasion. The Dorians were very successful, displacing many of the peoples of Greece, and eventually founding cities like Sparta. They were great warriors, and their architecture is famous for the simple and functional Doric columns.

They had as their chief patron Deity, Apollo, who I’ve had some great challenge trying to associate with a Son of Noah. Such difficulty, that I no longer think Apollo is a son of Noah. Revelation 9:11, referenced at the start of this article, confirms this. He is no man at all, but rather an angel:

 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

-Revelation 9:11

This angel appears to also be the Angel of Death in Exodus, who is called the Lord’s Destroyer.

Apollo’s ancient name among the Mycenaeans and Minoans was Peryo, the great killer and healer of gods. He seems to be one of the only deities they did not build a tomb for, hinting he is no mere man as well. His great temple at Delphi includes a tomb to Dionysus, a son of Zeus. Homer describes him as a chief god on the side of the Trojans, and there is much suspicion and discomfort from him. He is something of a free radical, doing as he pleases. But above all, he is a great warrior.

It is worth noting here that Plutarch is somewhat arguing with feign ignorance. For one, he himself proposed the death of the gods in his De Defectu Oraculorum, and secondly he would be aware that Euhemerus’s theory was written in a speculative format, with the Creten Mycenaean tombs being far older than Euhemerus himself.

What say you, Dear Reader? Shall we try to untangle all these knots?

Untangling the Knots.

I propose, Dear Reader, that these knots can be untangled in the following metamyth:

Initially, Japheth came to rule over Crete, which was populated possibly by Caphtorites. Javan occupied the Anatolian coast, and his sons occupied Islands like Cyprus and Rhodes. Some of the sons of Japheth went north of the Caucuses, beginning the PIE migrations, who in time one branch became the Dorians.

The Angel Apollo was something of a guardian angel for these early lineages, and in time his memory became deified by the Dorians. In the Aegean, he became asociated with Death itself, and as the elder Sons of Noah died, he was viewed as their slayer.

At some point Japheth died in Crete, and his civilization became the Minoans. A son of his died on the mainland near Mycenae. Apollo, the angel of Death, was viewed as their slayer and became an important deity in their society. Javan’s kingdom became the powerful Luwians, and some of his relatives formed the Hittites and later the Mycenaeans/Achaeans. Rhodes and Cyprus became neighboring kingdoms.

Later on, the PIE migrations arrived in Greece, who by this point were worshipping their father Japheth as the god, d’Yeuspater, and Apollo as their great warrior god. When they found the tombs of some of these divinities among the Mycenaeans, they were offended and tried to differentiate him as someone else, Iapetus. The Titans being overthrown by the Olympians was an attempt to narrate this.

This piece is a follow-up to The Woodland: Alt Ecumenism(1) - graciously hosted by Tree of Woe - in which I took a pass at a establishing a barebones framework for bridging the gap between right-wing pagans and right-wing Christians. I am nominally Christian, but have long felt like I belong somewhere in the middle.

In this essay, I explore a form of Christianity that would be more recognizable to pagans.(2) Derived more from bloodlines and oral traditions than literalist sola scriptura Bible readings, it is more martial, more hierarchical, and more ethnic than the doctrine of any major denomination.(3) I discuss Jesus Christ as the god of a family hearth, the possibility that the Bible has been corrupted, what Christianity would look like based on oral tradition and mysticism, and what these ideas might mean for people (men especially) seeking real spirituality that will uplift them, their families, and their nations.

In short, I am Christian because my ancestors of the last 1,300 years were Christian and were rewarded with a world-dominating civilization. Modern scripture has been corrupted, so, like the neopagans, we must look to natural law and to historical examples to guide our worship.

LOST IN THE WOODLAND

I was raised Christian, but left the Church for many years for the religion of mainstream secularism. After having children and after several intense spiritual encounters, I felt the need to return to something that took these aspects of life more seriously.

But what would it be? Paganism was fake and Christianity was gay. What was a spiritually-awakened man to do? I won’t bore you with the entire journey (which I am still on anyway). After spending time with scriptures and thinking from several ancestral religions (mostly Norse paganism and Christianity), I returned to Christianity.

Despite my conversion, pagan criticism of the modern Church haunted me. These critics pointed out that Christians - without so much justification as stern Quaker pacifism - had allowed, or even enabled, the horrors of FBI Community Relations “forgiveness,” mass immigration, Rotherham, coerced mRNA treatments, and a host of day-to-day indignities too numerous to catalog.

These critiques burned into my psyche not because they were slander, but because they were true. I had the same misgivings. Most of the modern Church is an embarrassment at best and an active danger to its flocks at worst.

Civilizationally, this is what we have done. Constantine, the Crusaders, the Reconquista, the Conquistadors, and the British Empire all bore the Cross. Europe at its most resplendent, most confident, and most beautiful was Christian. The American Empire was Christian throughout its rise to power. Manifest Destiny doctrine was explicitly Christian.(8)

Christianity echoes not only throughout our history, but through our myths and legends as well. Though they are no longer strictly “oral,” our tales are steeped in Christianity. King Arthur sought the Holy Grail. Robin Hood robbed abusive clergy, but said his prayers and confessed to Friar Tuck. Cowboys and Californian adobe mission churches go hand-in-hand. Chivalry and noblesse oblige are fundamentally Christian doctrines.

SCRIPTURA FRACTA

“Wait,” you say, “empire and chivalry are well and good, but those come with lots of violence, don’t they? Doesn’t Jesus say not to fight?”

Well, yes and no. And I understand why that’s a hangup for a lot of fellas.

When I was in college, my younger brother and sister came to visit me. We had a fun night out and went back to my apartment. As we came in from the parking lot, some scholarly neighbors on a balcony took a shine to my sister. They were rebuffed, which seemed to offend them. They followed us to my apartment, where they proceeded to try kicking the door in until I’d retrieved a pistol. They decided whatever they’d come for wasn’t worth a bullet.

Was I wrong? Did I violate the command “do resist not an evil person (Matthew 5:39)?”

You can contest the context of the verse,(9) conduct endless exegesis, balance the verse against Luke 22:36 or Romans 13:4, dig through translations, and try to hammer it into something else all you want. Ultimately, I had clearly resisted evil people.

Jesus Christ loves his soldiers. Where Christian men have taken up the cross by taking up the sword, civilization has followed. And while there is no shortage of individuals, groups, and campaigns that met with defeat, a broad survey of the last 2,000 years of history suggest that “in hoc signo vinces" was not a one-off directive to Constantine. Christian men are called to arms.

I take this beyond the right to self-defense that even many modern churches begrudgingly acknowledge. Self-defense doctrine does not allow for defense of civilization, home, faith, or identity. King Arthur and his knights did not just hold their castles. They went out questing to find evil people to kill, so that their holdings and subjects could be welcomed into the peace of Christian civilization. Frontier Americans did the same thing.

The Christian response to Rotherham should not be to “turn over the other daughter” and ask “why did you rape her?” A Christian response, informed by history and tradition, would be to take up the sword(18) and drive the evil invaders into the sea from whence they came.

Like neopagans, or Westerners of basically any stripe, however, the last 60 to 80 years have devastated our understanding of how our forefathers did things. If we are going to reclaim the Mandate of Heaven, we must act quickly.

If we do not, we will meet the fate of North Africa and the Levant during the birth of Islam in the 600s AD. These parts of Christendom were not strong enough to resist the onslaught of the Mohammedans. They were conquered. Their populations were slaughtered, raped, and enslaved. Worse, if you believe in the afterlife, was the loss of millions and millions of souls since then.

This is the ontological argument for a less tolerant, more martial form of worship. Weak or pacifist Christian sects have not survived. Strength and violent capability are central to any understanding of natural law. If God created the world, then there is truth in how the world operates.(19) If we abandon strength due to sabotaged or poorly-translated scripture and our enemies do not, we will relearn this lesson in a painful way.

It is this spectre that drives me. I would not blithely spread heresy. I have thought about this topic for years. I have prayed over it and consulted with trusted friends and advisors. It would be no small thing to lead souls to ruin. But if we lose our civilization, we will lose all the souls it protects.

This essay argues that "the Current Thing" - media-driven narratives that capture public attention - has become a secular substitute for religion in the West. These narratives offer emotional engagement but lack the depth, meaning, and permanence of traditional faith. As people rush from one crisis to the next, society loses spiritual grounding and moral coherence. It suggests that the way to resist it is not to react to it - which only strengthens the narratives - but by turning inwards to focus on our natural interests and talents via individuation.

Welcome back. In prior posts I’ve mentioned the Current Thing, which is basically any media narrative that the mainstream media highlights for a prolonged period of time which elicits public participation in the process, even though individuals have little to no ability to actually impact the outcome. It is a dance between the elites and the public; the elites can try to force a narrative onto the public, but unless it leads to mass attention, excitement and participation it will not likely have the desired effect. Because in a so-called “democracy” those who shape mass public opinion have the power (i.e. the owners of mass media), control is exercised through the dissemination of mass narratives whose underlying goals are to increase oligarchical power at the expense of the public in whatever creative expressions are needed to achieve it.

I discussed 113 recent Current Thing narratives in this post (see how many you recognize), but a couple of things to note:

The Current Thing may or not have any relation to underlying reality. We live in an era of Baudrillian hyper-reality which is basically completely divorced from underlying reality, as discussed here. This dynamic mirrors the concerns of Marshall McLuhan, who famously argued that “the medium is the message,” emphasizing that media doesn’t just transmit information but it reshapes our perception of reality itself; the Current Thing conditions how people think and feel through its immersive media environment. Guy Debord argued that in a world dominated by images and representations, authentic engagement has been replaced by passive consumption of symbolic action. And as Michael Ginsburg explains, the use of AI to supercharge the Current Thing is becoming even more effective and persuasive, where a recent study shows it is 6x more effective at persuasion than human experts on Reddit’s Change My View forum:


The Current Thing usually requires performative public participation. It separates the population into camps of “good” (who basically believe in the expansion of the national security state, degradation of law and order, whig history-as-progress, and infinite race/gender “egalitarianism”) and “bad” (who believe in freedom, law and order, and acceptance of inegalitarianism) where the “good” performatively but inauthentically signal their virtue and support of the establishment as passionately as possible, even though their support ultimately makes their own lives worse (which they then blame on the “bad” camp).

The Current Thing may or may not have emotional or intellectual payoff - it usually doesn’t - but what’s guaranteed is that elites pushing the Current Thing, no matter how false or morally or legally wrong it is, will be protected from punishment. The elite participants have what is called a krisha, or institutional protection (this is a Russian mob term, just as applicable here). This is why Lord Fauci and the other higher-ups who pushed fraudvirus and the deathjabs will never be punished, and why no one was punished for Obama’s Spygate operation either (even though it was 100x worse than Watergate). Participate in the narrative based on the elite’s instructions, be protected from fallout.

The public will not remember the Current Thing after it’s over; they will be too distracted by the next Current Thing. The public has basically zero collective memory whatsoever no matter the topic. A Current Thing narrative from just a couple months ago, such as the Pacific Palisades fires or the D.C. helicopter crash, feels like ten years ago, and the further technology develops the faster the forgetting happens.

A good way of re-phrasing this is saying that virtue signalling is the dominant form of expression and activity under The Current Thing.

Virtue signaling encompasses the Moral Identity, Collective Catharsis, Mythic Time, and Secular Eschatology.
>The strangest thing about the Current Thing is how very few participants seem to understand how it serves as a religious proxy for them; they act out the religious impulse without understanding where it came from.
