The recent news that the Anglican Communion is still notionally Christian drew some sniping from Libertarian pagans on Twitter.
Readers familiar with this blog’s treatment on presuppositional apologetics will know where this is going.
The West is currently beset by outsiders who possess the corrosive combination of beliefs antithetical to our foundational morals and an unwarranted sense of entitlement. This is the force that is driving the West’s inversion from Christian civilization to Pagan dystopia.
Yet, as I’ve pointed out, the inverters always use appeals to Christian morals they don’t subscribe to as clubs to bludgeon Christendom.
This is the Caine-Hackman proof of culture war as holy war and diversity + proximity = war in one tweet.
In point of fact, yes, the Church claims universal moral authority. That is why she calls herself Universal. Christians hold that Christianity is true, Boomer-grade solipsism notwithstanding.
But more to the point, Christendom is Christian. It doesn’t take a genius to see why living within Christian society while denying Christian moral authority instantly nullifies one’s moral lecturing.
Expanding the First Amendment beyond the Christian denominations was a mistake.
The 1A was written to keep Christian denominations who are in 90% theological agreement from killing each other over what the sacraments mean. Anyone who thinks it suffices to keep adherents of alien creeds from over the horizon at peace is contradicted by logic and history.
I don’t yet consider effeminate replies like, “So you think that …”, “So what you’re saying is …”, etc. positive proof of witchery, but I’m noticing a strong correlation between Redditor speak and Witch Test failure. As it stands, trying that odious kind of psychological projection framed as mind-reading will earn you a swift block/ban.
The good news, as reported in the lead article, is that Christians are finding our spines again. And it’s got the inverters justifiably worried.
