The Left wants to use Christianity to police the Alt-Right

Left-wing, Jewish journalist Peter Beinart has a telling piece up at The Atlantic, “Breaking Faith: The culture war over religious morality has faded; in its place is something much worse,” about how the decline of Christianity has lead to an increase in racial identity, especially among many younger whites affiliated with the alt-right.  He writes:

“Secularism is indeed correlated with greater tolerance of gay marriage and pot legalization. But it’s also making America’s partisan clashes more brutal. And it has contributed to the rise of both Donald Trump and the so-called alt-right movement, whose members see themselves as proponents of white nationalism. As Americans have left organized religion, they haven’t stopped viewing politics as a struggle between “us” and “them.” Many have come to define us and them in even more primal and irreconcilable ways.”

As if there is something wrong with whites supporting and promoting their own interests.  Beinart then discusses Richard Spencer, Milo, and how secularization has lead to an increase in racial identity among both younger blacks and whites.  He concludes:

“Maybe it’s the values of hierarchy, authority, and tradition that churches instill. Maybe religion builds habits and networks that help people better weather national traumas, and thus retain their faith that the system works. For whatever reason, secularization isn’t easing political conflict. It’s making American politics even more convulsive and zero-sum.

For years, political commentators dreamed that the culture war over religious morality that began in the 1960s and ’70s would fade. It has. And the more secular, more ferociously national and racial culture war that has followed is worse.”

Beinart is basically correct but there is more to this story.  The two most basic forms of identity are racial / ethnic identity and religious identity.  When the two intersect and form an ethno-religion, which is basically what Judaism is, the religion of Beinart’s co-ethnics, one probably has the strongest identity possible.  (Most early pagan religions were also racial ethno-religions, and arguably some forms of Christianity are too.)

The problem, however, is that Beinart can’t just wave his magic wand and resurrect Christianity to police white people — as much as he may wish it.  The irony is that mainstream Christianity today is on a universalist trajectory that would repel the very people that Beinart wants to police.  As I noted in a previous post, “Is Contemporary Christianity a Suicide Cult?,” contemporary Christianity is becoming more and more effeminate and seems to repulse more manly men.  For example, regarding the recent controversy to expel open-borders Russell Moore from his leadership of the ERLC, just take a look on Twitter at some of Moore’s most ardent defenders:  Nearly all of them literal cuckolds or Christian SJWs.

In short, Beinart fails to recognize that Christianity had a greater hold on young white men when it was in fact more like the alt-right, when it wasn’t as extremely universalistic as it is today and didn’t eschew racial identity for whites.

What is Christian Cultural Marxism?

Mainstream Christianity today is not only weird, it’s crazy.  And it’s not only left-wing Christianity, it’s supposed “conservative” mainstream Christianity as well.  The entire vessel seems to be on a course of collective suicide.

When surveying the insanity of contemporary Christianity among white people, it’s hard exactly to label it.  There seems to be no precise label.  “Cuckoldy” is probably the best label, but since others already call it “Christian Cultural Marxism,” I’ll stick with that term.

What’s the Holy Trinity of this new form of Christianity – Christian Cultural Marxism?

The Holy Trinity of Christian Cultural Marxism

1.  You must support open-borders.  White people must commit collective suicide and turn over their nations to the invading hordes of the third world.
2. White should avoid having too many white babies and adopt babies of color instead.
3. Fighting racism is one of the main priorities of Christians.

If you think I’m exaggerating, just look around.

Immigration. The entire Catholic leadership and a significant portion of Protestant leadership support the third world invasion of the West.  The Catholic Church is the worst in this respect, but you have many Protestants (like Russell Moore and others) who also support the invasion.

Adoption.  You literally have Catholic priests and Protestant pastors telling whites it’s their duty to adopt the unwanted garbage of the third world. This is not only maladaptive in a sociobiological sense, it’s also literal cuckoldry.  Resources are finite.  By adopting the third world, these whites are forgoing their own reproductive inclusive fitness.

Fighting Racism.  Both Catholics and the Southern Baptist Convention recently held conferences saying that churches need to devote more of their resources to “fighting racism.”

So, basically, in short, Christianity today, even “conservative” Christianity, is basically a form of SJW-ism…

How did this happen?

Christianity 200 years ago certainly wasn’t this way.  But was the momentum there?  By being too universalist, is Christianity doomed to become eventually a suicide cult?

If you want to see something sad — actually look at these cuckolds adopting the third world.  They’re pathetic.  They’re barely even men.

Which raises another question of why masculine men aren’t drawn to Christianity today, although this tendency has been there for the past 300 years.  Indeed, even 200 years ago, more women attended church than men.  But today it’s even worse. Could part of it be that nearly all the pastors and priests today are cucked, effeminate weaklings that alienate any man with even the slightest bit of testosterone in his testicles?

Are Christian Leaders Today a Bunch of Girly Men?

The purpose of this blog wasn’t primarily intended to discuss religion but since two of the most popular posts at Occam’s Razor (“Why the Religious Should Reject Intelligent Design” and “Is Christianity Inherently Left-Wing?”) are about religion, I thought I’d put up another.

In the “Song of Roland,” a heroic French poem about the  Battle of Roncesvalles in 778 during the reign of Charlemagne, one cannot help but be impressed by Archbishop Turpin.  A Moorish invasion of Charlemagne’s kingdom is taking place and his retainers do not hesitate to take up arms. Archbishop Turpin, although a man of the cloth, arms himself, splitting a head or two of the invaders.

That was then.

Today we have a similar invasion taking place.  The Third World  is pouring into Europe (Africans, Middle Easterners, Indians) and into the United States (mestizo hordes from Mexico and Central America) but the religious leaders today have taken nearly an opposite position.  Instead of opposing the invaders, Christian leaders whine about mistreatment of the invaders and have actually sided with them.

This treason ranges from Pope Benedict siding with African invaders against Europeans to Cardinal Timothy Dolan supporting open borders to Protestant leaders like Richard Land and Russell Moore supporting the Third World invasion of the United States.

Clearly, as others have noted, these men suffer from both both ethnomasochism and pathological altruism.  Channelling Roissy, one cannot help from noticing that these men are often pathetic beta males.

Christian leaders today are effeminate, as is seen in the emotional tactics used by people like John Piper in cajoling white people into adopting non-white babies.  In discussing the recent Christian fetish of transracial adoption, Christian HBD blogger Generation5 notes that this impulse in part derives from a complete feminization of Christianity.

This feminization is probably nowhere more apparent than in male leaders of the pro-life movement, where it is not uncommon to see grown white men crying like little girls in public because some black person unknown and unrelated to them somewhere is getting an abortion.  (Contrast this to alpha male Michael Corleone whose anger at his wife is not because of some abstract concern about abortion but because she reduced his inclusive fitness.)

Here is some telling visual evidence.

Maudlin evangelical leaders praying for poor immigrants:

Or beta male Matthew Soerens, US Church Training Specialist for World Relief, whose panties are in a knot over whether some black child is unadopted or some illegal immigrant is mistreated:

Russell Moore and Matthew Soerens are calling us at Occam’s Razor “white supremacist Darwinists.” (Actually, guys, HBD shows that North Asians and Ashkenazis have above average IQs too!) Such a sniveling display of political correctness only substantiates this post.

Ann Coulter seems to agree about these girly men; apparently she has a bigger pair than they do.
