[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.

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.
