RE: A Tale of Two False Kingdoms

Her name is Karlyn Borysenko. She is the reason James Lindsay lost his mind, because he did some great work exposing the occult origins of Marxism, but got so much wrong about the actual doctrine of its modern incarnation that he's been getting relentlessly criticised ever since. I won't get into it here, in fact I almost didn't comment at all given the community your post is in, but I've been seeing a lot of back-and-forth arguments about Christianity being, ah, in trouble, to put it mildly, and I figured you might want to see for yourself what's going on.

Sort:  

Christianity is always in trouble. The best deceptions are cloaked in an illusion of holiness, and charlatans are always eager to lead good people astray. There is no singular Antichrist, or at least there are innumerable antichrists at all times. The 'anti-' prefix in this sense is not a polar opposite, but more of a counterfeit. Broad path to destruction, narrow is the gate, etc.

Locally, the Christian Nationalists see pedophiles and criminals everywhere. Funny how so many are Catholics. Something-something-pedophile-priests, something-something-deal-with-the-plank-in-your-own-eye-before-pointing-out-the-speck-in-your-brother's-eye.

Also, the broad obsequious response to Trump and his jingoism is painful to see in people who claim to follow Christ. I try to argue against his policies using what they say matters: reason, theology, and constitutionalism. Their responses show they use none of these as their political compass. And of course since I live in a red part of the country, dissent can only mean I'm a Democrat at best, or a godforsaken commie at worst, because that is the limit of their political model.
