“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...

Trumpite Evangelicalism or Bidenist Catholicism?
It is surely a time for Christians to remember St. Paul’s call to focus on heavenly things.
Given the extremity of the president’s rhetoric and the confident damning of any who might demur, it seems legitimate to ask (yet again) how much gender theory and gender “science” Joe Biden has read. One has to assume he is an expert, given that he feels comfortable dismissing anyone who dissents as motivated by hate... Continue Reading
Religious Need not Apply, Says Oregon
State officials strip state funding from Oregon youth ministry for its hiring practices.
In July, the Department of Education awarded 71Five several grants worth over $400,000. But three months later, a state official notified the nonprofit by email that their grants were being taken back, saying that the nonprofit was disqualified from the grant programs because of its hiring practices. An Oregon youth ministry is challenging state... Continue Reading
Orthodoxy Is Not Optional
Neuhaus’ law remains undefeated—and a challenge for the faithful.
Whenever voices make a push to make orthodoxy optional, the faithful have a choice: to relent or to fight. And, if they fight, they will inevitably be painted as Big Meanies. When Christian colleges fire liberalizing faculty members, or when denominational authorities uphold church discipline against pastoral officers who violate ordination vows via heretical teaching...
