Atheism, Civil Religion, and the Fate of the West
Even Dawkins can see the cultural value of Christianity.
While I do greatly value the West and all its goods, and will continue to fight for them, I know that it too, like everything else, must one day come to an end. Sure, it will last longer – or less longer – depending on how we treat that which made it possible: biblical Christianity.... Continue Reading
Regime Change: “Transgender Day of Visibility” Replaces Easter Sunday
That is happening, and you are not crazy for noticing it.
According to progressive politicians and their press allies, however, noticing the epochal shift between New York City illuminating skyscrapers with the crosses of Calvary and the New York governor ordering landmarks lit up to celebrate cross-dressing men, gender confusion, and the medicalization of confused children is creating a culture war rather than responding to the latest iteration of it. ...

It’s not Working, Mr. President
The White House declaration of Transgender Day of Visibility backfires.
There is a deeper reality here that Christians must recognize. The White House action was an affront to Christianity and to morality, to be sure. And yet, we should pause for a moment to recognize that, despite best efforts of LGBTQ activists, the White House, and the cultural elites, it’s not working. You can’t... Continue Reading
“I’m a Cultural Christian”, Says Richard Dawkins
We can only eat the fruit of Christianity for so long before the season runs out.
Richard Dawkins is admiring and eating the fruit of Christianity. He is happily tasting the sweetness and embracing the aromas and feeling the textures of the fruit, but he still denies the reality of the living tree from which the fruit has grown. The tree is no more dead or invisible than is the fruit... Continue Reading
Easter: International Day of Christ’s Visibility
The light has already escaped. And the darkness will not overcome it.
For the determined unbeliever, sheer denial of God isn’t enough. They must insist on defiling even the memory of God. It’s why Nero must not only invade the temple, he must sacrifice a pig to Zeus. It’s why Mark Studdock must not just be forced to deny God, but to “trample on [the crucifix] and... Continue Reading
We’re All Christian Nationalists Now
We have to live with the fact that the world controls the definitions and what is allowed to be spoken in the public conversation.
The world could care less about how you define terms in your Christian circles. Just don’t take your views into the public square. If they choose to define Christian Nationalism as a nation influenced by Christians that promote Christian morality because they believe in the God of the Bible, then we will have to live...

A Queer Book
We face a future conflict between the pagan gods and the true God, as in Roman times and many other such times.
As Christians we must ask what the future holds. At the end of the Sixties Revolution, Jungian psychologist and Gnostic spiritualist, June Singer, wrote a 1997 book ‘Androgyny: Towards a New Sexuality’. At the end of the Sixties Revolution, she saw and affirmed that the spiritual age of Aquarius was also the age of “androgyny”... Continue Reading
Scotland’s New Hate Crime Law Is No Laughing Matter
‘Equality before the law’, that’s just so old-fashioned! Now we have the State creating a two-tier justice system where some groups are afforded ‘protected’ status and others are attacked.
This Act will pervade through all of Scottish society. Even children are to be targeted. School handbooks now explain that all hate crimes should be reported to the police. Journalist Jim Spence wrote in the Courier that Scotland is about to become a “two-tier society” where “some folk are given protection by the law from... Continue Reading
Let’s Not Bemoan a World That Doesn’t Think the Way We Wish They Would
What people need is less an Easter invite and more a Christian friend who will tell them about Jesus and why we think the cross and the resurrection are at all important.
We need to get less cross about pagans thinking like pagans, and bemoan the fact that we are a minority group in a pagan land these days, and instead make effort to simply love and befriend a lost world in need of a Jesus they know precious little about. Being grumpy that the world isn’t... Continue Reading
The Godless Return: Peterson, Tate, and Spengler’s “Second Religiosity”
The difficulty that a Jordan Peterson or an Andrew Tate have articulating faith in God is paradigmatic of the West’s decline.
We have here two prominent, globally-known spokesmen for what we might call the anti-woke, sociologically right-wing side of things. That they invoke personal and social utility to justify belief in God, rather than classical theistic formulations, at once more robust and more straightforward, strongly suggests that we are dealing with what the historian Oswald Spengler...
