How do we know what we think we know? This is epistemology.

Exciting Possibilities

Exciting Possibilities

The world is full of exciting possibilities as we watch the collapse unfold.  And that is the reason I write this blog.  The world as we have known it is gone — all that was of Western Civilization — founded in Christianity, nobility, the classical virtues of logic and knowledge and rhetoric — are gone.  Christian is practically illegal (it is permitted when segregated to a meaningless private space).   Logic and rationality have been replaced by sloganeering — “racial justice,” “fairness,” “equality.”   Masculinity cannot be used as a term unless “toxic” is put in front of it.  Men now cut their gonads off and take estrogen injections and our elite clap their hands and applaud.

It’s over.  And it’s not coming back.   Even the dark ages would be better than the twisted world that we are foisting on new generations in America and around the world.

So as one system collapses, another arises.

The Proof of Truth Is Inherent in Language

The Proof of Truth Is Inherent in Language

My goal in writing is two fold: 

1) That I understand the Truth.
2) That others understand the Truth.

Writing is a mental process that forces a rigor of logic upon thought.  Thought without writing is less rigorous, less logical, less thorough and less self-critical.  Writing provides an immediate feedback loop regarding  precision of ideas and logical concepts.

I’ve written elsewhere that logic is non-existent without language and that the different languages provide a different filter of reality, logic and limitations to thought.  Here’s the link.

Truth is a conveyed belief that, in total, extends beyond one’s ability to independently ascertain.  By this I mean that I am not God — I don’t sit outside all of Creation in a position from which to judge what is true.

That I speak a language conveys the principle that Truth exists and that I am able to approach it in a meaningful way.  It doesn’t mean I can be omniscient, or even fully know that I am correct, but the very use of language is predicated upon it’s utility.

An Establishment of Religion

An Establishment of Religion

A “religion,” is not just the notion of “God” or a Creator.  A religion is a world view,  systemic understand of our place in the Cosmos, where we came from and where we are going.   A religion has a set of core beliefs, and a priesthood to propagate and protect the beliefs. The major religions have have a core set of written texts that provide the intellectual foundation for that religions.

These are obvious in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and even Buddhism . They have priests, holy writings, ceremonies, and easily identified leaders and formal structures.

But there is one religion that stands over all the religions in this age, and it the one religion that does not call itself a religion.  It is the religion that has, with subtlety, reduced all other religions beneath itself by taking upon itself the presumption that it stands outside and above religions.  It imposes, almost unconsciously, on the world the idea that it cannot be questioned (as religions MUST not be questioned, for questioning the faith is to be anathema.  This Not Religion is, after all , a faith.  If one choses not to believe, they are not off the faith, not of the faithful, and not of the truth).

Introduction

Introduction

It was not an obvious move, for me, to strike out into dangerous territory, which is to mix religion and politics. There are a lot of conservative writers and libertarian, and right wing thinkers and communicators. On the other hand, there are a lot of “Christian” writers and podcasts. And there is, to be fair, some overlap. There are a couple of bloggers and podcasters that I follow that are political, conservative, and Christian, and are open about advocating for a political system amenable to those values.

I think I’m doing something different.

I’m not interested in “conservative” politics for its own sake, nor libertarian politics, and, although I’m an orthodox Protestant Christian, this isn’t about a personal conversion to this religion nor the generic spiritual teachings one encounters at church.

Ultimately this is a quest for Truth; and starting from that foundation of Truth to work out the implications for that Truth in time, in the world, in history, in society through the rise and fall of civilizations.

Universities ARE the State Establishment of Religion

Universities ARE the State Establishment of Religion

There is no such thing as a non-religious order. The current religious order is a secular and atheistic order that, as a matter of dogma, asserts that this is not “religious.” Attached to this assertion of irreligiousity is a presumption (ingrained in the masses by our public school system) that the non-religions order is superior to and above that of the religious order.

But if religion is understood as a system of beliefs and a faith, then there is no such thing as a non-religious order. The secular bedrock of American education (and thus of all proceeding endeavors of mankind) is a deep and profound belief system. It is no more “scientific” than a Christian world view except that it self-deceives by claiming to be “scientific.”

Prophets and Professors

Prophets and Professors

There is a reason Jesus Christ commissioned us to go out and preach the Gospel to all nations (blood lines). People believe things based upon what they hear. Simple. No one is omniscient and we all rely up on the word of others to determine what is true. There isn’t enough time or bandwidth in our lives to figure out for ourselves what is true. That’s why we have “education” — it accelerates that process. But not all that is taught is true, not by far:

Many of us believed a fat old white man somehow fit down the chimney every Christmas Eve carrying a huge sack of gifts, and that somehow he made it to every chimney around the world traveling by a sleigh towed by flying reindeer.

When we grow up we are taught another lie: that life comes from non-life and that entropy works in reverse. These are the foundations of Evolution. Our teachers believe God is a myth and that there is no Judgement Day — they say that only eternal nothingness awaits us in the grave. These are the stories/myths they tell without any proof at all. This is their “gospel.”

There is a certain attraction to a God-less and Judgement-less existence — it means we will never be called into account for our lives. It seems innate in us that no one wants to be told what to do, and I think God allowed for that — he would have willing children, not mindless slaves.

The truth? Judgement is eternal, final, and all encompassing — no one gets away with anything. God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart; no excuses ever. All becomes clear and made right on the Judgement Day.

There is a class of people called teachers who are paid wages (from our taxes) to teach the “truths” of life and the world we live in. We may not think of them as religious teachers or priests or prophets, but the fill the same role: they teach — propagate — “truth.” Public school teachers are disciples of greater teachers — they were accredited by university “professors” who granted to them a public distinction of authority — a “degree” of education.

God, Too, Has a Perspective.

God, Too, Has a Perspective.

God does not believe in equality; God is no one’s equal.

God created Man first, and Woman from Man.

Man was to obey God, and the woman to listen to and obey the man, and in turn the children are to obey the parents.

God gave a female as companionship to the male — that was the perfect fit. Homosexuality is the undermining of God’s perfect order for companionship.

God’s first command was to reproduce; homosexuality prevents reproduction.
