Especially effort will be made to kill the babies of Negroes in the womb, a race which all the Progressives hate and fear, so much so that they will not even call a black baby a “baby”, but instead call it a untermensch nigger fetus. The other thing they will do is attempt to promote artificial sterility via contraception, in order to demean the status of women and degrade the prudence and chivalry of men. Since the rhythm method is both more reliable than contraceptives, and produces neither breast cancer nor ground water contaminants as do hormonal contraceptives, it is decried and dismissed by the Progressives.

Atheism is a freakish belief that afflicts people without normal social skills, who are unable to see the divine nature of the universe we all inhabit. But, it is a freakish belief which has a certain appearance of internal consistency, a certain childlike simplicity of explanation, that can be made put forward in a good light if you have your arguments prepared, and if you have your axioms defined.

To give you are reference point to understand my passionate interest in the topic of Christian apologetics, I was an atheist for 35 years, and not an apathetic atheist, but an ardent, passionate, vituperative and proselytizing atheist. I convinced members of my family to stop attending church, and convinced college friends of mine at school to depart from their religious beliefs. I was good at what I did.

Then, not long ago, I began to loose my faith in atheism. As a model of the universe, a model that left out the supernatural dimension of things did not have the explanatory power needed to serve as a model. Too much was left unexplained; too much was unaccounted-for. To quell the growing and lurking suspicion that there could be something wrong with my perfectly logical model, I decided on an experiment: I prayed to the non-existent God and double-dog-dared him to show himself to me, or else, if he did not show, I was relieved from any effort to pursue any further inquiry into his existence.

Before three days passed, I had a heart attack, was dying, and the prayer of someone who claims to have the power to heal through prayer, healed me through prayer. The attacked stopped within a moment of the prayer. This was something my model could not account for. Going to the hospital to see what the attack had been (at the time, I thought it was pleurisy) the doctors announced that I had five clogged arteries and required major surgery. The holy spirit came into my body, and I felt it almost like a physical sensation. Instead of being frightened or even annoyed by the hospital stay, it was one of the most joyous and pleasant times of my life, ever. I was visited by the Virgin Mary, who spoke to me, and by Jesus Christ, who frighted the crap out of me, and my God Almighty, who was beautiful beyond words. Christ said that God does not judge people, but that he, Christ, would be my judge, for the authority to judge man has been given to him.

At that point, I was sure this was an hallucination or a dream, because we all know that Christians believe in a judgmental God, who condemns the wicked. I should mention I was not on any painkillers or any medication which might cloud the judgment or induce hallucination. I was oriented as to time, place and person. I was aware of the nature and character of my acts. I talked this over with my wife in the car after we were driving back from the hospital.

After I was released from the hospital, about a weak later, I had another ecstatic experience, and was sent on something like a spiritual journey outside of time and viewed reality from the point of view of eternity, and was the told the solution to an old philosophical conundrum concerning the problem of determinism versus the freedom of the will, as well as the nature of Biblical prophecy. Again, there were no drugs, no bumps on the head, no other evidence of hallucination or madness.

So I decided to start reading the Bible. In a book of the Bible I had not read before (atheist do not normally pore through the Bible, after all) I came across a passage I had never read and never heard any Christian ever make reference to in my hearing. The passage is from John 5:22 “For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son.”
This is almost word for word what Christ said to me.

The only person I have seen the Left comfortable condemning is Hitler, and at that, not for his tyranny, secret police, or his totalitarian (and totally incompetent) economic policies, but merely for his racism: and they only disapprove of Hitler so that they can call Republicans Hitlers. When real racism rears its ugly head, as when paynim terror-bombers call Jews the sons of apes and pigs, the Left will utter soothing words of moral equivocation, change the subject, and counter attack.

Montrose is loosely based on Galois, who died in a duel, and Boole, who was regarded by the Londoners as something of a country cousin.

I selected a Texan precisely because Leftists hate Cowboys, and for good reason: the Cowboy is American, free, individualist, religious, and proud — and I do not mean proud enough to flaunt sexual perversions in front of schoolchildren, which is how Leftists use the word ‘proud’, but I mean both ambitious and filled with a sense of self worth.

The Leftists are so proud of themselves for not being bigots, when in reality they are the only bigots left in the American landscape. Give a character an accent, and the Leftist brain cannot contain the paradox of how a character can be smart or heroic and yet talk like the hated “Other”, that boogeyman of all Leftist nursery-tales, the dread and dreaded Hayseed.

I do not understand the question. A homosexual couple living chastely is not a homosexual couple, because then they are not performing homosexual acts. Homosexuals are not a race or subspecies of man. They are men who indulge in a certain vice, like alcoholics, or like men who have sex with their sisters.

An unmarried pair of unrelated roommate cannot adopt a child in any state in the union of which I am aware. Anyone can identify anyone else as having their power of attorney for health care decisions. I am not sure what financial benefits you mean: there is no point in giving the tax breaks given a married couple to a pair of unrelated roommates.

In any case, I was once firmly in the pro-gay camp, and in the pro-anything camp, provided two (or more) adults consented: they should be left alone to do their business and they would leave others alone. One of the things that drove me out of that camp was that when the Commonwealth of Massachusetts offered to institute Civil Unions, which would have all the legal benefits of marriage, the highest Court of Massachusetts told the legislature that anything less than calling the Civil Unions marriage would be illegal and unconstitutional. And the Leftwing activists back this position. I heard not a single dissenting voice from that side of the argument.

The implication was clear. The pervertarians want the perversion to be given the honors and applause the a healthy society awards to the sacrament of marriage, and the mere fact that a homosexual pair cannot, in any real sense, have sex, copulate, reproduce, form a family, form a sexual dyad, or be anything more than a kinky mockery or take-off of real marriage is brushed away by a mental act of thought-censorship worthy of Orwell.

Even to bring up the topic of the biological impossibility to homosexuals forming the heterosexual dyad needed for marriage is greeting with screams loud enough to block out any further rational thought. This boycott against Card is part of that mechanism of screaming.

The homosexuals I know personally do not give a Tinker’s Damn about marriage. Nearly everyone behind this movement is a heterosexual, usually happily married, but one who thinks it is wrong for perversion to be discriminated against. They want to encourage and applaud sexual perversion because and only because it is perverse. They think this serves justice and creates peace and wellbeing. They are not perverts themselves, but they are pervertarians.

The pervertarians do not simply want to be left alone, to live and let live. They want society to pretend that perversion is normal, even though their five senses tell them that it is not. So they must block out what their senses tell them with a legal bit of make-believe.

Anyone, like a caterer or a wedding cake decorator or a wedding photographer or a Catholic Church who does not want to play along with the mockery (and I mean that in both senses of the word) of marriage must be punished soundly, so that no one will dare bring to the awareness of the poor victims a sexual dysfunction that they are pretending something will make them happy which only leads to misery.

And so every Leftist believes, and tells each other they all believe, that there is no difference between chastity and perversion, no difference between male and female, no difference between sane sexual drive and neurotic sexual drives, no difference between health and addiction, no difference between sanity and insanity, no difference between right and wrong.

This is the core of nihilism, which is the belief that there are no ultimate truths, no objective truths. The belief is that by eliminating all differences between right and wrong, sane and insane, chaste and perverse, male and female, all conflict will cease and utopia will bloom.

The Christian view of man is profoundly mature, and, based on two thousand years or more of experience and wisdom, is balanced and proportionate, nuanced and pragmatic, idealistic where it needs to be even to the point of extravagance, silent where no consensus has emerged nor revelation revealed, and proven again and again to work.

The modern view, springing from Nietzsche and Darwin, Freud and Marx, put an end to the common acceptance of man as sacred or unique, much as Copernicus had put an end to the heliocentric theory. Man was no longer the center and cynosure of the cosmos. God was dead; man was a naked ape; virtue was unhealthy self-repression; philosophy was the ideological superstructure of selfish class interests. There was no cosmos, no order, merely an abyss filled with the particles of Lucretius falling like snow, without divinity nor humanity nor virtue nor thought. And all poems died, and all sculpture became merely screams of horror or Rorschach blots, which mean nothing but what you say they mean.

The modern view of man is Antichristian. That is all there is to it.

It is profoundly shallow. It is the philosophy of children who have never studied philosophy, combination of simplistic ideas, rank nonsense, hatred and arrogance, mentally unbalanced, crude and unformed, and its highest ideal aims at the destruction of idealism. It is extravagant where it should be cautious, craven where it should be bold, incoherent in theory and impractical in practice, leading nowhere but to misery, self-indulgence, violence, and death. And it prides itself on being the stark opposite of all these things.

My stepsister’s father was homosexual who abandoned her at the age of seven to go live with his homosexual lover, a worthless boy. Never once in my hearing did I hear any criticism of him for this decision. I saw not the least hint of disapproval or discrimination or revulsion. No one called him a pervert, even though he surely knew his sex drive was misaligned, and drove him where he did not want to go.

He committed suicide.

I am not a mind reader, and I do not know what is in his heart, but I suspect that his pursuit of a lifestyle all the lying-ass jerks on the Left kept telling him was a good and worthy lifestyle was what killed him.

Let me be clear: I say people like you kept telling him that it was society’s fault that he was unhappy, because everyone hated him. People like you kept telling him if he just tried a little harder to follower his sexually abnormal desires, the desires would become normal, and satisfy him with happiness.

People like you lied and lied and lied, and so people like you killed him.

And for what? So you could play a little game of moral superiority with yourself, and tell yourself that your inability to distinguish between male and female, right and wrong, healthy and sickness, life and death, was a sign of your broadmindedness.

You boast that you cannot see the difference. You cannot discriminate. You cannot make judgments. You cannot face facts. You cannot think.

Some boast. You should be ashamed.

The media are the enemy.

Without the support of the media, the partisans and activists and academics would have no public support, and their power would collapse.

The newsmen of this day are vermin, dangerous beasts, parasites and maggots. They must be abolished, hounded by the public square, harassed by the law, scourged by the intolerance of the righteous, driven into the fringes of society, exiled. We trusted them; they betrayed us. They betrayed the truth, and betray the nation, and betray humanity itself.

They must be broken. The media are the enemy.

[He’s welcome to spout his anti-gay bigotry all he likes—..he and other artists [...] are beginning to find that this has consequences. If they feel the pinch as a result, they’ll get no pity from me.]

I hereby to apply to you the same rules you apply to Mr Card: you have spoken your slanders against me and mine, and you should “find this has consequences” and be blackballed. You are banned.

Had you spared any pity for him, I would have had pity for you.

It is not in my self interest to help you spread your venom against me, by lending you a public forum to advocate that thought police should punish science fiction writers for questioning conformity, and it is beyond the bounds of reason that you should presume on my good nature to think I should.

What makes you think you have the right to be patiently heard, when you are advocating denying that right to other men, men by any measure better than you? Better than you, indeed, by your own admission.

For what is the political correctness you support? It is a cult. What do you worship in this cult?

You worship your phallus.

You support the sexual deviants because you correctly see that any hindrance, even so much as a polite word in opposition, to the prodigious indulgence of sexual vice which forms the backbone of your — I cannot call it a philosophy — your phallus cult would show your own vices in a true light.

Not even nature, not even reality, can be allowed to form a barrier to your almighty phallus that you bow and serve and any cruel or vile or unnatural impulse you seek to indulge, or see others indulge. Your only enemy is temperance.

You correctly see that if men stuffing their members into the smelly rectums of other men is even so much as frowned upon, that your own member-stuffing into whatever harlots or trollops you seek to conquer and exploit would be condemned.

Your enemy is chastity, virginity, romance, beauty.

But you dare not admit this.

And so you lie, and so you take up the banner of intolerance, injustice, indecency, with the zeal of the witch-hunter. In this case, the witches are not accused of selling their souls to the devil, but failing to do so.

You think you will never pay for your lies and hypocrisies to that Power which gave you power of speech. You are sadly mistaken.

Maybe lack of self-esteem IS these women’s main problem. I think they sell themselves short here. Heck not only do women sin but, looking at the list, they are a major cause of men’s sins. Where would internet porn be without women? Would men be as inclined to Pride without women to show off for? Would they be as inclined to anger without wives to provoke them? Or lust without teens and twenty-somethings bouncing around in tank tops and short shorts? I think there is a special place in hell reserved for women who act like they are all innocent while at the same time contracting out to men to have their sinning done for them.

As my newly graduated from high school daughter once counseled her younger brother, “Remember, Stephen, money may be the root of all evil but girls are the stems and leaves.”

Take it from one who knows, who has been there, who has lived the life. Honest atheists are gullible, despite that we (I use the word advisedly) pride ourselves on our skepticism. We let ourselves be fooled by flimsy arguments and trivial objections. The task of Christian apologetic is to teach these sophomores skepticism, to teach them the ancient and manly art of logical reasoning.

Oh? Did you think that reason was on their side, and our side was the side of blind faith? How gullible of you. Examine your axioms.

Giving the vote to women in 1920, and children in the 1971, has transformed the vote from something that a man did with the understanding of his responsibility, to a form of “personal expression” or communication with the cool crowd.

Ann Barnhardt once made on her blog a strong case against women’s suffrage (her blog posts aren’t searchable or linkable, so you’d have to email her for it). One of the points she made was that when it was one man, one vote, it was really “one family, one vote”. Back then it was normal to be more-or-less an adult by age 21, and typically a voter was thinking about how his vote would affect the future for his family. A major reason the Democrats supported women’s suffrage was to reduce the power of families. With men usually voting for the intellectual reasons of the conservative and women usually voting for the emotional appeals of the liberal, families canceled each other out and an enormous amount of political power was transferred to the young, single, and stupid. The 26th amendment just made this worse.

Perhaps it is silly to be talking about suffrage two days after our republic has had its final election, but this is food for thought when we re-build new civilization(s) out of the rubble. Men (adult men) (who are married to women) (and are fathers) have a duty (not an unfair “privilege”) to take the lead in our families and in the nation.

The sought-after equality is gone, because the inequality is now enshrined as a matter of law, namely, sexual harassment law.

If women could compete equally with men in affairs of business, there would be no need of such laws: but the masculine psychology (which is as predatory and lusty as it was in the days when Achilles and Agamemnon quarreled over who should possess the slave-girl Chrysies) makes civilized behavior with women impossible: until and unless the rules and customs of civilization, the boundaries and sanctuaries evolved over centuries, are allow to check the reckless impulses.

Atheism is a faith, undeterred by any evidence no matter how obvious, that you are smarter than men much smarter than you.

You being to act as if you are the one fully evolved human person on the Planet of Apes.

And this pride, like the first drink of hard liquor or the first sniff of cocaine, becomes habit forming. It is pleasant only at first. Then it takes over your thinking, and becomes a constant companion and a constant burden, and an endless, dragging weariness. Human souls are not actually built for pride, any more than our bodies are build for alcohol or cocaine.

I wish there were a way to convince my atheist friends to be Christian for only a day, or an hour, so that they would see what a relief it was to lay down the towering iron burden of arrogance.

The pseudo-morality of the Left is a direct response to the moral challenge created by Christianity. The Christian message of redemption and inner peace is enormously powerful when it can be expressed clearly. The purpose of pseudo-morality is to create noise to cover up that powerful message:

“They talk about love but they hate gay people! We are so tolerant that we can’t even see a difference between random acts of sodomy and marital intimacy.”

“They talk about freedom but they want to enslave women! We want women to be free to choose no matter the cost to innocents.”

“They talk about joy but they want you to show self control! We want you to do whatever makes you happy, even if it involves your neighbor’s wife.

“They talk about personal responsibility but they are destroying the planet! We want to save the planet by making everyone live like cavemen.”

“They talk about wisdom but they don’t believe in science! We couch everything we say in scientific terms. We’re so smart!”

The Left mimics and distorts Christian morality in order to defeat Christianity. They substitute tolerance for love, self-indulgence for freedom, temporary pleasure for joy, government control for personal responsibility, and sophistry for wisdom.

It is sad how effective this strategy has been.

I also think calling them ‘the left’ is misleading — it is like referring to Republicans as conservatives when obviously they are not — but they have made it their practice to obscure any identification of themselves, so we are left without any word that defines them.

Who and what they really are is ‘the enemy.’ They are the enemy of man and God, of freedom and decency, of Western civilization and Christendom, and the enemies of logic and reality. They are the eternal rebels, but they are the victims of deception as deeply and as sadly as they are the practitioners of deceit.

When I was an atheist, I came to the conclusion that homosexuality was illogical. One need only look at the shape of the sex organs to see that they have an innate purpose to them, and there is no moral code, not even the most liberal or liberatarian, which does not contain a tacit appeal to the innate purposes of things for moral authority. An atheist can rightly conclude that a sex act which does not involve sex is illogical. An atheist can conclude that the nature of reason is such that to defy reason is to defy goodness: that is it morally wrong to be illogical, for the same reason to tell lies is wrong. From this comes the conclusion that homosexual acts, because illogical, are therefore morally wrong.

John C. Wright #fundie scifiwright.com

Much as it will pain my atheist friends to hear this, the role of reason in the Western world was invented by the Greek, upheld by the Romans, and when those Romans became Christians, Reason was merged, melted and mated to the Christian religion so that one cannot accept Christ without excepting reason, and cannot accept Reason without accepting Christ.

Reason without Christ, if elevated to the sum and final Good of Man, leads to inhuman anger like Marx or inhuman selfishness like Ayn Rand, or inhuman angry selfishness like Dawkins, or inhuman inhumanity like Peter Singer.
