Fundamentally, the Red Pill is Utilitarian, not Christian. Its goals are primarily centered around quality of life improvements. It fits firmly in the “Self-Help” genre. This was recently illustrated by cameron232 and Deti: Fertility rates are so low that the population (minus immigration) is now shrinking in most places outside …
One of the core doctrines of Roman Catholicism is that of Infallibility. It is quite common for Catholics to tell Protestants that they do not understand Infallibility because they are not Catholics. This is the genetic fallacy. The reality is that Protestants understand infallibility better than Roman Catholics do. Yes, …
At “Jesus and Hyperbole,” the professor writes: Yes, repeatedly throughout history God has condemned and destroyed nations. You owe society nothing beyond responding to evil with good. God’s job is vengeance. Ours is doing good. The fundamental fault with lex talionis is that it tends to assign to us what …
In “Review: Do we “Resist the devil” or “Resist not evil”?” I opened the series with a discussion on Sharkly’s take on Jesus’ teaching on violence in the Sermon on the Mount: Sharkly’s post is based in large part on the 21-page paper “A Methodology For Detecting and Mitigating Hyperbole …

The most important passage in the entire Bible is the Shema Yisrael—the essence of Judaism. The portion of the Shema that we are concerned with is called the “V’ahavta.” It contains the command “You shall love…” Jesus and the teachers of the law agreed that the V’ahavta was the greatest commandment. The V’ahavta is recorded …
I don’t do much politics here, but political discussions are popular: Kamala Harris can’t have imposter syndrome because she legitimately lacks competence. Not only does she not deserve to succeed, but she deserves—on the basis of merit—to fail to those who are more qualified. She certainly has one of the …
A couple weeks ago I wrote “The Parable of the Four Soils” where I discussed the four types of soils—hearts of man—in which the seeds—the Word of God—were spread. One of the great things about the Parable of the Sower is that Jesus explained what it meant. Unlike many other …
