Interesting article I found today. Some quotes:

>Europe was saved, and indeed formed, by the Roman Catholic Church under the holy Roman Emperor, and we got World Empire, Science, and Industrialization under the officially official State Anglicanism re-established by Charles the Second. We became what we are under throne and altar, and without throne and altar, are declining from what we were.

>A unitarian Bishop, rather than striving to be like Jesus, congratulates Jesus on striving to become as virtuous as her very holy self. Then holier than God. Today’s progressives are holier than God puritans, who have dumped God for insufficient holiness as the unitarians dumped Christ for insufficient holiness.

>If Islam wins, and as long as conservative Muslims, and only conservative Muslims, are allowed to have real marriages and real families, it is going to win (white Christian women convert to conservative Islam for alpha dick, white Christian men convert for marriage and children) then we are going to wind up looking like the middle east.

>Christianity is a church, adoptive kin, it is necessarily a tribe, and thus, being a tribe, necessarily something rather like a state. Merely individual Christianity, a personal and individual relationship with god, is not Christianity. Faced with a hostile belief system, Christians are retreating before it, and yielding the collective and tribal functions of the Church to the educators, to the progressives. And inventing a merely individual Christianity that is concerned with merely individual salvation. In so doing, they are hoping to save Christianity by abandoning it.

>Universalism neglects the incarnate nature of Christ and his Church, making the Christian God into the God of the Universalists, the God of the Muslims, and then the “Arc of History” of the progressives. At the same time, the Church must not take particularism to the extreme that mistakes the good things of home, family, and nation for ultimate ends in themselves, must steer between the error of the Enlightenment, and the error of the Nazis, must proclaim both to be heresies. “Neither man nor women, neither Jew nor Greek” was said of the next world, not this. Today, the EU, having ensured that there is neither Jew nor Greek, is abolishing men and women.

What are the sheep to do if their Shepard has abandoned them? Francis certainly isn’t treating the church like a tribe if he’s letting invaders from another religion come rape and pillage.

>The fall is spiritual aspiration rather than a literal descent from a literal plane of existence. The loss of innocence in the story of the Garden of Eden is the black pill, and we cannot return to Eden by unknowing what we have learned, cannot regain our innocence, but must instead take the white pill.

Using pills to represent ideology is the faggiest shit. Get outta here with that

Stop.

The problem with most Christians today is that everyone is trying to "fix" Christianity, liberals and conservatives alike. Indeed, the so-called "conservatives" trying to "save" traditionalism are by that very action buying right into the tenants of the modern cult of progress. The only difference between them and the full-blown progressives is the means by which we "make the world a better place". The idea that Christianity and culture can be made "better" by our effort (even if that effort is attempting to return to more traditional/conservative forms and beliefs) is itself anti-traditional and anti-Christian. Christianity, the one true faith, is already perfect. Focus on your own repentance and submitting to that Truth, trusting that God will guide you, and let God worry about the Church and the fate of the world (protip: Revelation does not say that things are going to get "better").
