Letting your children choose their religion is a gay as letting them choose their gender. Baptize your babies.

"To assume that if we liked we could al settle down to love one another and live in perfect amity and harmony together, is possible only to those idealists who are congenitally blind to the true character of all life."

~Anthony Ludovici

"Pacifism will remain an ideal, war a fact; and history has never paid any heed to human desires and ideals."

~Oswald Spengler

There's a destructive tendency in American Christianity against the normal Christian life. Being an ordinary believer is not enough so you need something else to bring true happiness, joy and even assurance.

Some of this is romanticism and pietism. much of it is 1960s hippy-dippy disdain for normal work as undignified and boring.

What's even more concerning are the guilt tactics used against ordinary Christians. You start getting weird stuff like John Piper saying buying a new car is a sin. These guilt tactics only work on people who do not regularly participate in corporate confession and absolution (which pietists would balk at).

Conservatives will never figure out that they are simply useful idiots just like black voters for dems, only worse because unlike blacks they have to pay taxes.

"It is only where there is an exertion of fortitude in bearing up against the consciousness of peril, that true courage has place…There is an intelligent apprehension of danger; there is the natural instinct of self-love desiring to preserve its own well-being; but it is curbed and governed by the sense of duty, and desire for the approbation of God. This alone is true courage; true virtue; for it is rational, and its motive and moral and unselfish."

— Robert Lewis Dabney; True Courage: A Discourse Commemorative of Lieut. General Thomas J. Jackson (1863)

How did it happen that Christ was removed from Christmas (Christ Mass) to become a holiday about snow, reindeers, jingling bells, and fireplaces?

"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die."

~G.K. Chesterton

The vaccine is essentially the pinch of incense to Caesar of this age.

Vaxfags get rekt.

“In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.”
