Don't Argue With God

God is clear on His expectations. Don't argue with Him. Instead, humbly approach with fear and trembling and all reverence, to receive true Wisdom, in dependence on God, the source of all good.

The State Vs The Family, Revolution Vs Counter Revolution

Worldwide, something isn't quite right and more and more people are picking up on it.  Western civilization is nothing like what it was a century ago, the nations seem to be rushing irreversibly towards another world war, there are more and more disturbing conspiracies coming to the surface surrounding some of the most powerful people on earth, and all of this information is accessible to much of the world's population simply by typing on a keyboard and clicking a mouse.

But what isn't quite right about the world?  Is it the one world government?  The New World Order?  Religion?  Poverty?  Aliens?  The Illuminati?  Trudeau?  Conservativism?  Liberalism?  Progressivism?  What is causing all the instability, the increasing chaos, the divisions within society, and the overall decline of western civilization?  The rabbit hole is deep, and there are too many passages to explore in a single blog post, including many that are full of absurd claims.  Yet, with so much going on around the world that is a rightful cause of consternation, I would argue that what is wrong with the world is actually quite simple and everyone can get involved in fixing it each in their own way - WITHOUT the use of revolution.

To understand what I mean we have to look at what a healthy society looks like compared to an unhealthy one.  First of all, it all comes down to two things: the place of God and the role of the family.  If the family is a traditional one supported by law, society, cultural norms, religion, and by virtuous people, all of which is directed towards God, the society will be a healthy one.  If, however, it is the state that is supported by the family, society, cultural norms, religion, and by vicious people, all of which ignore God, the society will be unhealthy.

Why do I say this?  (And I apologize, but I must take a bit of a circuitous route to explain what I mean.)

Religion.  Religion comes from a Latin word religare which means "to bind."  Religion is the glue that binds a society together.  It binds a society with three things: an origin story, a way of living, and a final goal.

If people share a common origin, they will identify with one another.  They will interpret the current problems of their life through the origin story by seeing how the state of affairs were before things went wrong, and what caused them to go awry.  The origin story is the lens through which individuals are able to empathize with one another and view their own lives  in common with one another.

The way of living includes morality, customs, roles, traditions, and philosophy that has arisen due to a shared history informed by a common origin story.  Whether as revealed by God or informed by the origin story, or both, our current way of life is given a direction towards the final purpose of life.

What is the purpose of life?  This is a very religious question and it is very often a return to paradise, a return to a state before it went wrong.  It can even be an improvement to the way things were, but it always involves an undoing of what went wrong.

Don't believe me?  Let's look at several religions to see if this is an accurate description of religion.



A second appropriate analogy is that the skeleton and tendons of the society are the religion and the people, to continue the analogy, are the cells of the muscles on the skeleton that move the societal organism, and the culture, art, architecture, etc. are the skin of the societal creature.

Raising Kids to be Idiots

In a previous post I discussed idiots: idiots who believe in contradictions like "it is true that there is no truth."  These idiots are responsible for the worst types of activity in the modern world.  Abortion, genocide, concentration camps, gulags, and sins against nature that cry to heaven for vengeance are all justified by idiots.  Lenin called them useful idiots because they helped to bring in the very ideology that results in their own destruction.

So how does a person become an idiot?  How do I know if I am an idiot?  How do I make sure that I don't encourage others to be idiots?  Can I deprogram myself or others from being idiots?  These are all very important questions, but first, in case you aren't convinced that the western world is absolutely full of these idiots, we are going to try a thought experiment.

Imagine a stereotypical family living in the suburbs in a very stereotypical home.  The family sees that there are people who are worse off than they are so they start to let others live in their home.  However, they say that they are non-discriminating so don't care who stays in their home.  For, if they had at least interviewed the people who stayed in their home they would quickly find out that the very people they are letting into their home are their enemies.  These people who are worse off hate stereotypical families in suburbia and they aren't shy about it.  Some of the neighbors, knowing this, try to warn the family, but the family gets very upset at the neighbors for even suggesting that someone they are helping could also be their enemy!

What would you say to the family?  Is there anything you could say to them at all?  Think about what is happening today?  Is the family not entirely insane to invite their enemies into their home and give them resources?  Stop and think what will happen to this family eventually if they do not wise up to their error?

That is what useful idiots do.  They help their enemies conquer themselves.  So, why are westerners so clueless about how to preserve their civilization?  Well, they are "brain wrecked" (to borrow a phrase from Milan) idiots for the most part.  Simple as that.  To understand how a person can become a brain wrecked idiot, I think it is important to examine the qualities of a person who suffers from a case of "useful-idiocy" and then compare that with a person who would be raised to be a good Catholic in the traditional sense.

Basically, to be an idiot, you need the following qualities:

- Self-centred

-
