So long as you stick to the teachings and philosophy of Christianity and NOT the institution as that's been on any level higher than local, corrupted to hell.

As I've said many times, there are many people that go and say their atheists without developing philosophically what that means, only the surface level of 'there is no god or afterlife'.

Thought of a good example, remember Altaïr Ibn-LaʼAhad from the first Assassin's Creed and how arrogant and foolish he was acting because he took 'nothing is true, everything is permitted' at face value? That is a lot of people in the west currently, they are so at a surface level that they use atheism as an excuse to not take responsibility where at least in religion they would be labelled as sinful for their actions.

I think that's just a problem of the human condition. The people who think X is fine because JAYSUS would still think X is fine if they were believers in Liberalism or the Torah or any other belief system.

We really can't annihilate instinctual behaviors, only curb them. Whether that's by social pressures or carefully controlled institutions, both of which are easily disrupted themselves when we stop being closed tribal societies and try to be global.

I was about to say, modern "Christianity" isn't any better...

What about Jesus? That's a lot of words about Christianity but no mention of Christ.

Despite that, she clearly has a legitimate claim to refugee status. Rejecting and condemning Islam is reason to fear for one's life, and it's hard to dispute that they want to kill her when they leave their death threats pinned to a co-worker's corpse.

Sounds like someone needs a new grift and a shield against criticism.

Nobody making these loud declarations has found faith, they only found attention and accolades. Nor does anyone reasoning themselves into something you need to believe and feel actually believe in it, they are just Pascal Wagering themselves into self interested security.

There have been plenty of devout converts who reasoned themselves into the faith. She doesn't sound like one of them, however, given that she's spouting all the "judeo-christian" nonsense talking points.

Whether or not you believe churches that aren't pozzed are some of our only allies in this fight.

So find one that doesn't fly faggot flags and doesn't have any women preaching or in leadership positions. Joining can only be a good thing even if it is just for networking and community.

atheism is too weak and divisive a doctrine to fortify us against our menacing foes

Maybe she’s right - EVERY atheistic nation is currently being quickly destroyed by illegal/legal migration.

Atheism in practice is the religion of state worship. Most people jumped on the wagon because it was fashionable, but are not emotionally or intellectually equipped to live without a God and revealed truth, and so the Christian ones were quickly replaced.

That's not true, the PRC isn't committing civilizational suicide by importing the 3rd world.

Hard to have a holy war without the "holy" part, I suppose.

Christianity doesn't inherently equip you for a civilisational war either. If you want that, you'd have to convert to Sikhism - a religion that made it your religious duty to be armed at all times because Muslims kept being murderous bastards.

Christianity cannot help against leftism because it has the same foundation: the NAP and the Tabula Rasa. Unless those are removed, you will always end up in the same place as modern leftism. The NAP IS the foundation of victimhood culture, and the Tabula Rasa IS the foundation of communism.

Yet I would not be truthful if I attributed my embrace of Christianity solely to the realisation that atheism is too weak and divisive a doctrine to fortify us against our menacing foes.

Christianity is also too weak and divisive a doctrine to fortify us against our civilizational enemies. Christianity has no firewall from being subverted by leftism. See how the pope has been one of the leading advocates of leftist subversion in the West. He can't even advocate for Christianity in the face of Islam. And protestants are no better. See how the Episcopal Church, ELCA, Methodists, etc are all irredeemably pozzed.

I doubt this article would exist if military recruitment weren't in the toilet.

The byline alone gives it away. You don't become Christian for such a self-serving reason as "civilisational war". You become Christian because you believe it to be the righteous path as God intended. Anything so worldly is a dead giveaway that someone is nowhere near Christian and is looking to manipulate those that either are or interested in being such.

This is definitely clear cut propaganda. I'm surprised how blatant it really is, and so few are seeing it.
