On this blog I do a lot of what might be considered teaching. I talk a lot about theology. In this I’m little different than many Christians on the internet. However, there is a two-fold problem. First, scripture requires that all principles be established on the testimony of two or …
One of my more common criticisms of the Christian (or Dalrockian) Manospherian commentariat is the relative popularity of, what I’ve termed, weak patriarchy. Patriarchy proper involves strong gender roles built upon male dominance and female submission. But in a non-patriarchal culture, one with egalitarian laws, patriarchy just isn’t possible, even theoretically within a …
The Gospel and the Sacraments (NOTE: I have a history with this commentator. See here) This is a deeply ironic comment. “Sacraments” are historical anachronism. The Apostles and the early church preached the gospel alone. The church knew nothing about sacraments, a concept that would only begin to be formalized …
Here is the primary reason that I started anonymizing certain quotations and ultimately withdrew from the Manosphere and from specific commenters: This is how a single normie blue-pilled man like Charlie Kirk could have significantly greater reach and impact than pretty much every red-pilled man combined. The validity of the …
Recently, I wrote an article entitled “Hebrew Abstraction” where I pointed out that the Hebrews had abstractions in their language (and, by logical implication, their day-to-day practice). Well, my post proved to be rather prophetic, in light of the following: For a religion based on Ancient Near East principles and …
Blankslatism is the belief that everyone is inherently equal because everyone starts from the same blank slate.

In theory this is supposed to …
NOTE TO THE READER: If you wish to watch the very graphic murder of Iryna Zarutska, you can find it here. I have not watched it—and will not—because I cannot bear to witness such a display of evil. The images above are bad enough to provoke tears. Moreover, many people who …
Bruce Charlton likes to write about how every person is a kind of spiritual being that preexists their incarnation. He calls them “pre-mortal spirits.” He notes, rightly, that a soul by itself is lesser than a soul with a body. This is why, after we have died, we receive a …
I talk about Blankslatism a lot because there is massive resistance to the idea that politically right-wing (like Republicans) and far-right groups (like the Manosphere) can’t be blankslatists because blankslatism is a politically leftist. It has been quite difficult for me to convince anyone that the Manosphere is deeply leftist, …
Tomorrow is 9/11 in America. Today—9/10—the following events dominated: The senseless murder of Iryna Karutska on a train in Charlotte, NC by a crazed black man. The assassination of Charlie Kirk Another school shooting in Colorado. And there are some major events in the rest of the world: Russian drones …
