THE RADICALISED RABBI is a blog on Judaism and its very useful ideas and the blogger a Secular Koranist and a revolutionary. You don't have to be Jewish to find Jewish ideas very useful in tidying up your thinking and turbo-charging your powers of reasoning to the extent that you can even predict most events and disasters. The West is heading for disaster with its insane policy of Transnational Progressivism, turning our global village into Sodom and Gomorrah attracting the same punishment.

There is only one possible religion White People could choose if they were being honest, reasonable and moral and understood the thought experiment I have proposed: of being orphaned, without family and friends with a country to run well with the goal of getting to heaven ASAP.

Al Aqsa should be regarded as a proxy for the Third Temple whose existence would be an administrative nightmare for Jews. A priesthood would have to be resurrected to run the temple.

Jews find it so impossible to imagine agreeing on the plans of the Third Temple that they want a pre-fab Temple to descend from the sky.
You say in your description about Mark Parker: "Christianity’s future depends on asking the hard questions."
I would substitute "Christianity's future" with "The repose of your immortal soul, if you believe in that sort of thing".
If the Trinity is idolatry, and idolatry is a mortal sin, then all Trinitarian Christians die guilty of a mortal sin, even if they are not guilty of any other sin. This is unlikely, because the whole point of obeying the First and Second Commandments is to love and fear a jealous God to make obedience more likely and sin less likely.
If you cannot bring yourself to take any of the above seriously, why pretend to be Christian?
If you are only a cultural Christian, doesn't that mean you are in effect atheist?
If you are already atheist, why take an interest in Christian theology when Christians still cannot get their story straight after nearly 2000 years?
The founding of the American Republic represented the first step away from Christianity. It did not actively harm church institutions or commit regicide, but it did pave the way for the French and Revolutionaries for precisely that.
If any Christian in the world wants to blame any people or any country most for the end of Christendom, they would have to blame the English and American Republics.
The Anglo-American Empire is the most powerful empire in the world, but also the most corrupt. No previous empire actually sought to globalise the policies of Sodom and Gomorrah while its Christian voters looked the other way.
Yet American voters do not think they are capable of doing anything about it in their liberal democracy. After having been tricked by yet another presidential candidate promising peace but starting yet another imperial war, they seem happy to carry on voting and thinking of the next presidential election while sneering at Tucker Carlson, the only high profile independent journalist they are fortunate enough to have, as far as I am aware.
6:00 The difference between religion and politics is a distinction without a difference. Most people still do not understand this and do not care to ask.
8:00 It is entirely understandable that Americans, frightened of the future and not understanding their past, would instinctively cling to denominations significantly older than their republic ie the Catholic and Orthodox Church while completely ignoring the fact that they have also been ideologically defeated. Because Catholicism failed, Anglicanism became the most powerful Protestant Church. Nobody even cared about the Orthodox Church until they saw that the Anglican Church only existed to rubber stamp the values of the liberal establishment. Americans who admire Putin and Dugin feel irresistibly drawn to the Christianity of Putin and Dugin - men they felt were still capable of speaking truth to power who still used facts and logic to solve problems while defying the might of the global hegemon.
9:00 America has no religious structure because it has no established religion. This is unique to America, yet Americans themselves do not understand this, which is exasperating and infuriating.
America has no religious structure because of the First Amendment separating the church from their state. It does however have a political structure which its corrupt and incompetent ruling classes who pretend to be Christian use against the American voter who also pretend to be Christian while still not understanding that America has no such thing called a "religious structure" because there is no Church of America.
If you want to insist that there is a Church of America, then the spiritual leader of America would be Paula White, currently spiritual adviser of the American President.
Paula White-Cain currently serves as a teaching pastor at StoryLife Church in Apopka, Florida, and is the president of Paula White Ministries, which operates out of the same location. The ministry utilizes City of Destiny as its primary outreach center and community impact hub.
Previously, she was the senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center (now renamed City of Destiny) from 2011 until stepping down in 2019, after which her son and his wife took over leadership. Before that, she co-founded Without Walls International Church in Tampa, Florida, in the 1990s, which later filed for bankruptcy in 2014.
If the Archbishop of Canterbury is the leader of the Church of England whose Supreme Governor is King Charles, then it would appear that the Church of Paula White is the Church of America, for now.
9:30 I am sorry to have to tell you this, Americans, but what you keep calling your "religious structure" is nothing more than social clubs claiming to be Christian of various denominations that you wish to associate yourself with because its geographical proximity to your home offers a community centre with members you don't mind spending time with on Sundays. This is not a "religious structure" but a "social club structure".
If it were a religious structure, there would be some way of taking it to the top, and of finally having your problem dealt with or your question answered. As it is, if it has a structure, it is that of a headless snake moving sometimes in this direction and sometimes in another direction, but in reality just moving around in a circle and not going anywhere.
10:00 It is redundant to talk of a "foundational structure", because the structure you keep referring to does not exist in you rcouontry. You may wonder about the Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox Church whose leaders are not located in America. However, since America is the global hegemon and the rest of the world are but US vassal states, the trail goes cold when you go abroad.
12:00 Those who claim to believe in the Abrahamic God have to love the Abrahamic God. But how can people who disobey his First and Second Commandments be said to love God or even be said to worship the correct deity? If Christians claim to worship the Abrahamic God, why do they not acknowledge that they worship the Abrahamic God who forbade idolatry? Do they not know that Jews and Muslims believe Christianity to be idolatry? If not, why do they not care? Is the reason why they do not care because they think might is right and that America as global hegemon can do anything it likes to people and nations who do not agree with US foreign policy? This appears to be the most accurate assessment of the people in America who call themselves Christian.
14:00 Are churchgoers even Christian? What does it mean to be Christian? Isn't Mormonism a category of Christianity? If they are not at least Christian, do they believe in the Abrahamic God? If they do not believe in the Abrahamic God, why do they go to church? Because they want somewhere to go on Sunday that feels like a gathering of good people? But are they good people if they ignore the First and Second Commandments of God and do not care that Jews and Muslims think it is idolatry to worship a man? If being Christian means being a hypocrite who does not care what rival Abrahamic religions think about your religion because they are fewer and weaker than you because might is right, then clearly you are more concerned with hanging out with hypocrites on Sundays whom God if He exists would consider to be Hell-bound, according to the Koran.
Hypocrites are people who pretend to believe in God but are endlessly creative in finding irrational and irrelevant reasons for not obeying His First and Second Commandments, for example.
19:00 The Koran defines neighbour.
20:00 LGBT including fornication and adultery are considered sexual offences in both the Bible and the Koran. People who call themselves Christian prefer to go by the liberal standard of sexual morality because it is significantly and conveniently lower as well as the political orthodoxy of the West. The ruling classes of the West subscribe to the liberal order and it is they who control the legislature. Things are the way now because of the hypocrisy of US voters and their ruling classes, who are fake Christians unconcerned about what God actually said about anything, only in wearing the brand of Jesus.
20:45 Are we talking about love or sex?
21:00 Make heretic burning great again? It is after all a distinctively Christian and European practice. Forget the Founding Fathers who were proto-Muslim Noahides whose proposition was that humanity should enjoy "certain unalienable rights" contained in the Koran the most important of which was the First Amendment supported by quran.com/2/256
22:00 Liberalism and love are two different ideas. If liberalism means anything, it means liberation from the oppressive totalitarianism of living under an absolute monarchy whose church defended the divine right of such a tyrant. Liberty is a liberal value because liberals would see liberty as desirable in itself, conveniently ignoring the fact that too much liberty would mean liberals returning to the law of the jungle where the strong get to do what they like to the weak.
44:00 "Becoming Orthodox" - becoming White Nationalist like Joseph?
1:29:00 What is God, asks the Christian.
1:37:00 We can do better with Islam.
1:41:00 We never asked to be born and we never asked for eternal life, but we have them nevertheless, if you believe in the narrative of the Abrahamic God. What remains for us is to choose between going to the better or the worse place.
1:43:00 What exactly are you accusing me of? Please specify the charges so that I can defend myself.
1:49:00 Is God meek and mild? Is the Catholic Church being meek and mild because it must be meek and mild or because it chooses to be so? Is law enforcement meek and mild?
1:51:00 Surely religion is not so much about religious institutions but whether it tends to do good in your society? If it is so good for your society, why did the Founding Fathers separate the church from their state? What would happen if the Founding Fathers had not separated the church and state? You would be back to a monarchy again, but it doesn't seem Americans even appreciate their republic enough to want to understand why the Founding Fathers separated the church from their state. A church of 100 is not going to build a global empire.

49:00 CLAIRE KHAW joins to discuss the banning of usury.
51:00 Aunt and uncle who were missionaries in Colombia
53:00 There was a time when Christians did not practise usury in Christendom.
Jews were useful to Christians when Christians wanted to borrow money from them.
When Christian monarchs tired of paying back their loans, they would expel Jews from their kingdom.
54:00 Would Olson like to ban usury?
55:00 When Claire said "capital", she meant "principal", clearly. If you have repaid the principal, you can default on the interest payments. Banning usury would mean making all loan agreements contracted under usurious terms illegal contracts which courts would not enforce. Have you decided if Jesus was for or against usury?
56:00 Low interest rates would cause a housing bubble, wouldn't it?
59:00 So what causes boom-bust cycles?

What Christians don't seem to accept is that the Abrahamic God if He exists is ABSOLUTELY LOGICAL AND MORAL.

Yes, true moral morality is logical. So you have to it depends on what you mean by morality. So if by morality you mean traditional morality, the idea that being moral consistent, self-sacrificially serving other people, that is not only illogical, it's absurd. There are no facts that support that idea at all. There's not a fact in the world that supports the idea that you should sacrifice for other people.
On the other hand, there's a world of facts that says if you want to live as a human being, then you must act in certain ways and not in other ways. We're looking at recognitions of facts. And this is how Ayn Rand builds her morality. She recognizes the fact that the very thing that gives rise to the possibility and need of values for human beings is human life.
In order to pursue values, you have to be alive. We can recognize that fact. If you're not alive, you can't pursue values. Bam. There's one fact that we can literally recognize and go, "Oh, yeah, that's a fact." Another fact is that if you want to remain alive, you must pursue values. If you don't pursue values, you will not remain alive. That's a fact, too. This is the rock bottom foundation of Rand's morality which acknowledges these two facts. In order to pursue values, you must be alive. And in order to remain alive, you must pursue values. These are facts and they're rock bottom facts because they're the facts that give rise to the possibility and need of values, which is the realm of morality.
So, so yes, this morality is logical because we can see the facts that give rise to the need of values and the need of a code of values to guide our thinking and actions so we can live and that's what morality is. And that's why Rand's conception of morality is absolutely logical.
But any conception of morality that is not based on observable facts or that defies or denies or violates observable facts like the the morality of altruism or the morality of the predator. I want to steal their stuff and if I get away with it, I'm going to be off at the islands and having a blast. That's not logical either because it's actually not true that that's good for your life. That's that's not what living a fully human life consists of. And the fact that some people are either too irrational or too stupid to understand that is on them.
You and I know that in order to live a wonderful life, you need the self-esteem that comes from being productive and you need wonderful relationships with good people. And that if you don't have such things and if you know you're a rotten person and if all of your friends are rotten also or you've lied to them to try to have relationships with good people. Your life is a mess. And we know that. Everyone who can think knows that this is true.
So it's just not true that being a predator is good for your life. And it's not true that being an altruist is good for your life. What is true is that using your mind to understand, pursue, and gain and keep the values that constitute a fully human life. That's true. And that's what Rational Egoism is all about. It's about using your mind to understand the nature of human beings and human life and the requirements of human flourishing and then acting accordingly. All of that is logical and all of it is grounded in reality.
So that makes this a rational moral code. Real morality, demonstrably true morality is precisely logical. That's what it is. And the other kinds of morality are the opposite, which is why no one should accept them and everyone should repudiate them 100% at every turn.
1:17:00 Is America one nation under God?
People can say America is one nation under God. But if I say America is one nation under God, does that make it so? We would have to identify that as a thing that actually exists or I would just be saying something that doesn't have any corresponding reality to it. The problem with saying America is one nation under God is that there's simply no evidence for the existence of God. People have an idea of God in their head. But even that is not in any way fully baked. Like if you try to say to yourself and and define what God is, you're going to have trouble because if you say, "Well, he's the guy who created the universe." Well, that that doesn't make any sense. The universe is everything that exists. And if God existed "before the universe", where did He exist? And what did He use to make the universe? And who created God?
You can ask a zillion questions around just that one claim that He's the creator. That makes it pretty clear that there's that there's a problem there. And then there's a zillion other problems with the idea of of God. He's supposed to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omni benevolent. Well, these are all negative things. There's nothing that He doesn't know. There's nothing He can't do, and He's never done any bad. Well, those are negative statements. And they're not asserting anything positive about what God is. They're just saying that He can do anything He wants. That's not not asserting a positive thing about God. That's just saying nothing can stop this guy, but to define something, you need to name its defining essential characteristic and that defining essential characteristic has to be something that we can either perceive or have rational grounds to believe is in existence.
Take the concept of rights that I was just talking about very high level abstraction so we can't see it. You can't see rights, you can't taste them or touch them but we know they exist because we can recognize the fact that for a human being to live he must be free to act on the the judgment of his mind and to take the actions necessary for his life right so we can connect that abstraction to perceptual reality. We can't do that with God. There's there's no connection there whatsoever. God is a floating abstraction. It's just an an idea that no one has ever connected to reality by means of evidence.
So if you say America is one nation under God, you basically said nothing. Now I know that historically before before we had really good reason to throw this idea out and we do now. Human knowledge progresses and one of the beautiful things that has happened in the past hundred years is that Ayn Rand became an adult and learned how to write and produce novels and books and explained some things that hadn't been explained before. One of those things she explained is what rights are and where they come from. We no longer need to try to rely on the fantasy of God for the existence of rights.
As I said, that idea, even though it wasn't true, served to found America because there was enough truth in that we have rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness.
And it's true that we need a government to protect those rights or to secure those rights. And it's true that we need to outlaw force in various areas in order to do that. The Founding Fathers and the ensuing government and legal system that was set up substantially did those things. But that doesn't mean that the concept of rights that launched all of that is itself grounded in reality. If we want to ground that in reality, we have to really ground it in reality and not keep talking about a god for whom there's no evidence.
I come from a religious family. My father's a minister. He's still alive, still kicking and still doing Bible studies. And my friend Maddox on the call with us here is also from a very religious background. I know where people are coming from on this stuff. But I urge you to check your premises. If you accept the idea that God exists, why do you accept the idea that He exists? Is it because your parents, preachers, and teachers told you He exists? That is not a good reason to accept that He exists. Is it because the Bible says He exists? I can show you books that say He doesn't exist. So then you have one book says He does, another book says He doesn't. They're all written by human beings.
So there simply is no reason to believe in God. And there's every reason in the world to stop believing in God. Because there's no evidence for Him and because the idea of God unleashes hell on earth as it has for millennia.
So we could we could talk more about this and maybe we'll talk more about it someday, but whoever asked that question, I urge you not to try to conceive of America as one nation under God because there's nothing there.
What we are is we're one nation under reason is what we are. And that's why I wrote this article titled America the Rational. If we want to support and uphold and better apply the actual principles on which America is founded, namely the principle of individual rights and the specific principles life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness.
If we want to to understand and uphold those things, we've got to stop pretending that they come from God and start recognizing that there's a factual foundation for those rights and we can understand them through reason. Because then we can explain rights to other people and then they can understand and go, "Aha, that makes sense." And then if a whole bunch of people start going, "Yeah, it really makes sense. Now we know what rights really are and we can understand them, we can we can advocate them, we can protect them, and we can apply them much better." Then we can make this make America the beautiful more beautiful, which is what I would love to do. And I'm sure you do, too. I'm sure you want that, too. So, but the way to do that is not to argue from from a religious basis for rights.
