AI Overview                 

In 16th-century Geneva, the "Libertines" were a political faction of older Genevan families who fiercely resisted John Calvin’s strict religious reforms and the influx of foreign French refugees. Led by Ami Perrin, they opposed the theocracy's strict policing of daily life, sparking a bitter, decade-long power struggle.

The term was originally a pejorative label coined by John Calvin himself. While Calvin used it to describe those who opposed his church discipline and desired moral laxity, the Libertines were, in fact, patriotic citizens who championed Geneva's independence.

The historical conflict unfolded in several distinct phases:

The 1538 Uprising: Resenting sumptuary laws that banned dancing, gambling, and swearing, the Libertines gained control of the town council and forced Calvin and Guillaume Farel into exile.

The Crisis of 1553: The tension peaked when Calvin refused to allow prominent Libertines to partake in Holy Communion while they openly rejected the church's moral discipline.

The Importance of Being You - Luke Thompson interviewed by Ian Campbell

8:00  "Re-enchanting" sounds like making already dumb people believe in magic again.  Are you sure this is what you want? Maybe trying to find your powers of deduction and enquiry would serve you better than wanting to believe in magic again.

9:00  Praying to saints is idolatry.

10:00   You people will never ever care about idolatry even though you know it is forbidden by the Abrahamic God - the one who forbade idolatry.  YOU. JUST. DON'T GAF.

11:00  Every single sentence by Luke has something incoherent in it.

13:00   Ortho-obscene

14:00  Everything about Christianity is idolatry.

18:00  So you will never say anything is evil?

20:00  Why do you keep talking about this man who isn't Christian and is actually atheist? Why? Can't you find anyone better? Maybe that's your problem. Tucker Carlson is at least taking a position.

22:30  It's called the moral imperative.

35:00  Like what?

36:00   Lord means God in this context. I thought Ian went to Bible College. What don't you get about "Jesus is boss"?

37:00  Wow, so Ian himself doesn't even believe in God or the Trinity. 

39:00  "I just want you to think I am Christian so I can be in your gang." Pathetic.

Richard Rohlin sells his snake oil of Universal History to credulous Christians in America

Universal history must be the history of Jews, Christians and Muslims as well as the history of the empires who identified with these religions and were defeated by them.

Why don’t Americans understand that the Founding Fathers separated the church from their state? No advantage can be derived from going to a different church on Sunday. America is a nation of fake Christian voters voting for their fake Christian ruling classes.

If you actually believed in the afterlife, you wouldn’t be choosing a religion with such a longstanding history of failure. Christianity failed to prevent the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, according to Edward Gibbon. According to him, Christianity caused the fall of Rome and the Founding Fathers would have been aware of this.

Christianity also failed to defend the institution of absolute monarchy and Christendom ended in 1918.

Christendom is a portmanteau word for a Europe of Christian kingdoms. 

America can never be part of Christendom because it is a republic. In fact, it is actually the republic that caused the end of Christendom because the American Revolution led to the French Revolution and the Russian Revolutionaries killed their entire royal family to prevent any possibility of the Russian monarchy ever being restored. 

If you want to blame non-Americans for kick starting the series of republican revolutions that ended the Age of Monarchy, you could blame the English and Oliver Cromwell for beginning the practice of regicidal republicanism.

It’s sad that an intelligent man like Rohlin feels he has to choose a religion to maximally show his hatred of Jews, Muslims and Zionism. Why else would you reject your own Christian tradition to larp as Ra Ra Rasputin in beard and black robes selling your snake oil of Fake Universal History?

Christians have great difficulty understanding the concept of idolatry and that God curses the disobedient in Deuteronomy 28. Shouldn’t Christians just ask Jews and Muslims if they think the Trinity is the unforgivable sin of associating partners with God and act on information received?

Has Rohlin ever said why he rejected the Baptist tradition of his family?

A bunch of larpers colonising the Orthodox Church in an attempt to reject their own ancestral tradition to demonstrate their membership of the Dissident Right fundamentally leads to more fake failed Christianity.

1:35:00  If Christianity is the biggest and most powerful religious group, it is because of Western imperialism. This means idolatrous Christians believe might is right, don't care that Christianity is idolatry because they are atheists and hypocrites only pretending to be Christian who do not believe God exists to punish anyone for anything. The Koran helpfully says hypocrites are Hell-bound. Hypocrites are people who pretend to believe in God in the hope of acquiring a higher moral status than those who are not larpers and pretenders. 

No wonder the accumulation of cognitive dissonance is now causing what Westerners now call the Meaning Crisis AKA the Post Christian Crisis AKA the Feminism Crisis AKA the Atheism Crisis AKA the Nihilism Crisis AKA the Narcissism Crisis.

You must be a narcissist if you worship your entire past unquestioningly without seeking to learn from the lessons of your own history, and we all know what happened to Narcissus, though we cannot be sure these days what the average Westerner is supposed to know with their failing public schools teaching them sex education and the propaganda of the matriarchy while the males become increasingly feminised and infantilised until they become so useless they are routinely destroyed like male chicks on a chicken farm. 

1:36:00   Progressivism is a feature of secular political ideologies. If you believe in God, you would not be seeking to create heaven on earth but instead be living in a theocracy hoping to be happy within the boundaries of God's laws with the added bonus of getting to the better place in the afterlife. It seems Christians only care about hanging out with other idolaters pretending to be intellectual but avoid engaging fully and honestly with anyone with a different view, because they have no moral convictions they care to defend. The only religious conviction  Christians have that they can agree on is the Trinity, but neither they nor their ancestors really believed in it. Of course you would pretend to go along to get along if the alternative is to be burned at the stake or suffer social exclusion. 

1:39:00  "The God Man Himself" - Rohlin is smart enough to know that anthropomorphism is idolatry but clearly doesn't care. He is also smart enough to understand the concept of separation of church and state. 

1:39:30  Why do Christians have to pretend to drink the blood of Jesus and eat his flesh anyway?

1:42:00  Did Rohlin reject Protestantism because he hates Zionism? Did he also reject Catholicism because the Catholic Church recognised Israel in 1993? The Orthodox Church has never recognised Israel and no one cares what it thinks because it is devoid of all political influence lacking even an Orthodox Christian monarch whose divine right it is supposed to defend.

1:43:00  Universal history must be God's view of history. God's view of history would be the history of idolatry, the attempt to move humanity away from idolatry with the Torah, the failure of Jews to tell Christians that Jesus worship is idolatry, the failure of Muslims to obey 18:4 of the Koran to admonish those who claim God has begotten a son and the earthly punishment to come for the hypocrites of all the Abrahamic religions, particularly by the Abrahamic religions in receipt of divine revelation still not daring to point out to Christians that they suffer from having inferior scripture not authored by Jesus, let alone God, even with the protection of the First Amendment.   

Christians do not have even the beginning of wisdom to fear God, presumably because they think God is a man dying on the cross. Who would be afraid of that? 

It seem Christians are so mortally afflicted by the Deadly Sin of Pride that they are basically saying they would rather die and go to hell more than once than admit that it is idolatry to worship a man.  

It would appear therefore that it is impossible to reason with irrational polytheists ie people who worship their idols of antisemitism, Islamophobia and racism. They are racist because they think of Christianity as white and Islam as the religion of the brown people they hate, fear and despise. They are apparently too full of hatred to understand that there is only one Abrahamic God who has made it easy for them to choose which of His divine revelations to follow. There is the Torah for Jews with its 36 capital offences and there is the Koran which supports the First Amendment with 2:256. The New Testament is not divine at all, and was most probably a work of the Roman Propaganda Department.  

Talking about scripture, has Rohlin heard of the Jefferson Bible?

1:49:00  There is nothing to "remember". Christians just have to understand that the Trinity is idolatry. If the Trinity is idolatry, changing from one Trinitarian Christian denomination to another would be like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.
