I used to be one of those atheists who thought we could replace religions with “right think.” But I failed to see the negatives that come with that - that the “correct belief” becomes just as oppressive as the religion we were trying to free ourselves from, if not more so, and that there’s no positives. No sense of community, no beauty, no holidays that foster family, and only negatives. All of the worst aspects of fundamentalism - judgment, anger, self righteous, restriction, but none of the beauty and sublime grace. We made a mistake eliminating religion wholesale.

Atheist's have such a deep & abiding contempt for believers, they've become what they despise most; pontificating, self-righteous true believers. Of course,, they have nothing to show for it. Same with the w0ke, who worship the God of oppression & victimhood, cry sacramental tears of guilt, but there's no redemption. Both have abandoned God; that's the reason for all of this tribulation. I'm convinced it's a spiritual battle, which has strengthened my faith & will to do the necessary footwork. I know I'm not the only one. That's a blessing, really.

I totally agree with Father Calvo. We need to fight for our Christian values. Human beings are spiritual by nature and in the lack of the presence of God there’s a void. The preservation of our Christian Identity is fundamental to preserve our freedom from oppressing ideologies which are actively hunting to fill that void. Let’s not forget, Christianity is our religion and we also have the right to believe, practice and defend our beliefs and values and to protect our children from ideologies that go against our own beliefs.

Do you know that Islam is our SELF-DECLARED enemy? The parts of the world not yet subjugated (the word Islam means submission) is called "the abode of war" in the theology. The claim you will find online that Islam no longer defines itself as at war with the non-islamic world because Muslim countries signed the UN charter when they joined, is utter nonsense since the ideology rejects the authority of any nation-state, including Muslim ones. What you saw on O'Connell Street was a direct statement of the intent to subjugate Ireland. Demographics seem to make the Islamisation inevitable. The mathematics are scary That war is evidenced all the time - In Ireland already people have been killed in it. (2 men murdered with decapitation in their home to shouts of Allhuaakbar) That state of declared war makes facilitating Islam in Ireland straightforward treason. Treason was the last crime in Ireland to carry the death sentence - for years after it had been abolished for other crimes. End of rant 😅

I would like to hope that Michael is correct. Our future as a free society depends on it. We can be sure that the masked cowards who support gender and other ideological violence won't stop there. One hopes that breaking their intimidation will break their backs. Father Robinson is an articulate soldier in the war, but, I must agree with Michael that in the postmodern world, we have to find a way for one unable to make the Christian leap of faith to take part. That person must acknowledge the evolutionary character weaknesses they take into the battle, and not act with the self important hubris of the enemy.

I am not an atheist but I'm not a Christian either, and wouldn't want to be. The theology makes no sense to me whatsoever. Yet I am not woke, not a biology denier, etc. If anything, the woke remind me of the christians of the past. There are many parallels.

Christianity is not very good at this fight. In west it used to be shielded by geography and sacrifices of South and East Europe. There are still a handful of Iraqi Christians, Armenian Christians, Lebanese Christians there was a video of them praying while hezbolah fires rockets over their heads, Nigerian Christians constantly under attack in the North of the country it just goes on and on at present and in the past when templars returned they were tried and executed to have their wealth confiscated for the church all over Europe. They were sent to free Jerusalem but made time to sack constantinopole that was resisting islamic conquest until then being a shield for Europe. Vlad Tepes had to fight the church the same time as protecting them and the country from ottomans on one side and Anglo-Saxons on the other. During reconquista the Spanish sent out their Jews with the muslims later realising they sent out their financial infrastructure but also without jewish influence and with growing power they now started the holy inquisition. Church of England is doing mass baptisms and issuing paperwork aiding problematic elements in UK. ... it would be much more useful to properly study history for tactics instead of this but historically this is what is supposed to happen. This is part of separating society into smaller groups that can go after easier targets to achieve temporary victory for example finally over secularism or whatever before getting swallowed by larger implementation of marxism then islamism. Very much like Iran. It's under because it's an empire made of peoples that can be pitted against each other and ruled by one group. In India hindus have hadva great success at keeping this issue at bay for a thousand years despite estimated 80 million losses during initial conquest. They make provisions to include Christian minority and there are preachers calling hindu icons demonic and all the same stuff islam does. All middle-estern countries that are muslim today are such after having a long phase of being Christian. It can't be an accident for some reason the patterns keep repeating. I bet there was a meeting like this in Lebanon at some point.

Its not really an inversion. Its orthogonal. There are similarities to Christianity, in terms of proseletyzation, coopting government, teaching it to children, heresy, etc. The difference is in what is being preached, not how. Go back a few hundred years, and you get "Christendom", cultural and actual genocide, and so on. If you're going to claim this, you have to deal with the hypocricy of your own faith, admit to it, and correct it.

I think Calvin goes over the top re abortion. In Britain we have discussed the question for decades. We came to a consensus that there should be legal abortion free on the NHS up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, in 1968. Every ten years since then we have had to re-argue the points pro and con from the bottom up, because of religious people trying to reverse the legislation. The consensus to retain legal abortion has held. It is not true that girls or women are pressurised to have an abortion that they might otherwise not have had. It a choice.

@NeraBuffy 25 күн бұрын

He wants power over life and death that he thinks is mistakenly or unfairly in women's hands because it should be in men's hands since women were made for men. He doesn't agree even if he knows that fertility is a function of womens bodies that can go terribly wrong and it is unacceptable that women are worthy of using medical intervention to survive this. Also in many men knowing that they exist not just because of something a man did to their mother and from a source like god that's definitely higher than a woman, but because of something so arbitrary as their mothers decisions about her life and willingness to give her life to a child that turned out to be a so-so man is humiliating. Imagine looking at some woman knowing she actually gave you life by willingly changing everything about her own. That woman would must feel some kind of strange real love on this planet that can be fully committed and even fully denied. How low to depend on that as a man of the cloth even. It has to be god behind everything and sinful women distorting reality.

@17:15, sorry, but im not becoming a Xtian. Ireland/UK/Europe was SOMETHING ELSE before xtianity came over. We can talk for aeons about all-things pagan-ism but the paganisms of the past (globally) are obviously not alive and well anymore- and its that reason that Europe is viewed as a geographical land mass desperately needing to have this 'void' reserved for religion filled. All thats here if one wanted to consider a more nativistic option is new-religious (paganic) reconstructivism , and if thats not what you're into you then have either the rest of the world's non-abrahamist religions or atheism/agnosticism/ nihilism. Xtianity and Islam and judaism are all from the same seed and the end-goal of all 3 are absolutely incompatible with what ultimately is a secular, rule-by-law/law-as-tempered-by-a-classical-liberal-democratic-polis characterizing the way of the 1st world West. This priest is basically what a "moderate muslim" would look like. At the end of the day for abrahamists, its all about theocratic-authoritarianism and thats not the *European-story. Maybe other cultural groups/racial groups around the world are o.k with that, but us Europeans who have been around such people and have studied the world's religions know what taking classical-liberal secularism for granted are not o.k with saying yes to theocratic/anti-modern authoritarianism.
