"It is very discouraging to see Dreher having to go to such lengths to purposefully misrepresent the Hungarian Prime Minister’s words in order to appease the Marxist Left, as this seriously hurts his credentials as an expert on Central European politics."

"One implication of the denial of God’s transcendence is the loss of objective truth and meaning. Without the transcendence of God then there is no point of reference by which we can have meaningful meaning or can approach defining the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Unless we have a God that is outside of us who by that outsided-ness becomes the transcendent point of reference then we are blind people stumbling around in the pitch dark seeking to see."

Implications of Denying God’s Transcendence

"The Darwinist view that man is an evolutionary product of nature also has decisive socialist political implications, since man as a product of his environment is of course also seen as a product of his political environment, as opposed to the Christian view where the political life logically flows out of the cultural mandate of Genesis 1:28." - Dr Adi Schlebusch

"Abolishing property taxes and expanding private property is, in my view, the key to not only economic, but political liberty for clans and nations. Right-wing libertarians such as Hans-Hermann Hoppe has rightly noted:

"Christ is teaching that whoever puts away their spouse so as to free themselves up to get with another is committing adultery through seemingly legal channels, and whoever marries a spouse put away for this purpose is therefore complicit in adultery. This is because such remarriages, in making remediation and reconciliation impossible, infringe upon the first marriage."

When Does the Bible Permit Remarriage After Divorce? — Knowing Scripture
Jesus’ central point thus was that to divorce your spouse so as to free yourself up to potentially marry another is not sufficient grounds for divorce.
"[A]ll of history is characterized by a covenantal dichotomy between faith and unbelief, in which the former represents that which is godly, good, and true, and the latter that which is evil and false. All of history, politics, and society is the battleground between faith and unbelief - a battle in which the Christian is called to engage with a confidence in the inevitability of Christ's victory over the seed of the serpent."

"Obadiah, against the order of the king and queen, hid the prophets of God and fed them (I Kings 18:4). Elijah, who at the time had no official position of civil authority, consequently commanded that the godless official representatives of the king be killed (I Kings 18:19, 40). Not only that, Elijah even went as far as to institute the true religion as national religion of Israel against the orders of the government (I Kings 18:37-39; 19:1-2)."

"The Cowboy State remains one of the most viable places in the world to start rebuilding the New Christendom because of its Christian, rural and homogeneous population, and now even more so in light of its growing isolation from globalist centres of power. The Wyomingite nation desperately needs to capitalize on Cheney’s defeat by focusing their energies on building healthy local socio-political institutions and structures which can help ensure a greater autonomy for the state and the communities which constitute it.
And a first step towards building those institutions and structures is strengthening the necessary social cohesion by celebrating Cheney’s defeat with neighbors, friends and family."

In his latest scholarly paper, dr Adi Schlebusch challenges "outdated and oversimplistic narratives of secularity based upon a false dichotomy of the religious as theistic and the secular as anti-theistic" by pointing out that "in the establishment of the public policy, there is always a normative framework at work which functionally operates in the same way with regard to its epistemic sanction, regardless of the worldview or moral standard which underpins it." He also notes that "the legal ratification of religious liberty does not in itself preclude the public establishment and government enforcement of that which, if not in theory, then at least in practice amounts to religious norms as legal framework for the public domain."
Dr Schlebusch concludes that "even modern liberal democratic states have enshrined values which functionally amount to established religious presuppositions which shape their public life, and in that sense, are essentially theocratic in nature."

"It recently came to light that for three decades, between 1978 and 2008, a group of leading German psychologists in collaboration with the local government in Berlin, purposefully placed dozens of the city’s orphans in the care of convicted male pedophiles. The rationale behind this project was the theory that exposure to the children would be good for the pedophiles’ re-integration into society and also contribute to the sexual liberation of the children themselves. This horrendous theory and practice was, until very recently, advocated by some of most well-educated psychologists in the world—”experts” who have received their psychology degrees from some of the world’s leading universities both in Germany and internationally.
This is but one example showing why the key to societal flourishing is not education as such, but the interpretation of facts within the context of a Biblical worldview."
