People wanting to go back to the 90s or 00s are like workers wishing they could remain on holiday. Sure, it would be nice to stay there, but eventually we will run out of money. The 90s-00s were simply burning through the social capital accumulated by Christendom of old.

We didn't need to think through and intentionally reinforce the basis and foundations of Western civilisation. We had the privilege of running off the fumes of moral visceral reactions inculcated by men with vision without doing the nasty work of gatekeeping and social policing.

But those habits and visceral reactions don't just emerge from the ether or magic genes, they are educated, inculcated and taught by men with eschatological vision. And when you don't rigorously enforce ideological and theological tests in the name of freedum and diversity,

the next generation would simply lose the visceral reactions you were taught. It's *nice* to not need to be judgemental, to pretend it's obvious where the public-private divide lies, that it's obvious that there is an age of consent, to be hazy about the systematic reasons for it

And most importantly, we grew up simply spending social capital we did not earn, and which we did not renew. For those of my generation, the party is over. We have to do harsh and nasty things to save, if possible, civilisation, if not possible, to reconstitute it after its gone.

We just have to get used to it. It's the Year of our Lord 2023, we need to engage with our eyes open. A lot of unconscious and unspoken habits, visceral reactions conventions, and customs, we grew up with are gone. We need to start adapting rapidly.

Sounds like you’re Christian and Christianity is the problem.

Jews and Muslims believe their scripture is divine revelation. How is an objective bystander to decide which is best of all three Abrahamic religions?

This post outlines a framework for connecting miracles to divine revelation. If you want the historical evidence for the biblical witness, start with basic Christian apologetic works like Evidence which demands a verdict before more sophisticated works.https://t.co/bFsDQO9NjC

You must already know not even @Pontifex or @JustinWelby believe in the Trinity. They just pretend to to keep their positions. The entire system is rotten with absurdity and lies and will be gone when Western civilisation collapses.

I'm a Protestant Evangelical, and an Anglican in the Global South. I couldn't care less what the pope or Archbishop believes. My concern is with the Scriptural witness to divine revelation, not what men in robes say. And I already said that I don't believe for political reasons.

You must know that Christians suffer from having inferior scripture and that Christian religious leaders are infamous for their ignorance, stupidity, hypocrisy, cowardice and lies.
— Secular Koranist (@Book_of_Rules) September 23, 2023
I repeat, with growing weariness, as an Evangelical that I don't care what Xtian religious leaders believe. Repeat this point again and this conversation is over. As for the reliability of the Bible and is alleged "inferiority", I deny it, and I refer you to the apologetic books.

You can’t see that the Word of God trumps the word of mortal and fallible men?
— Secular Koranist (@Book_of_Rules) September 23, 2023
Naturally our contention is whether the Bible itself is the Word of God, which I obviously believe, and it is no contradiction, for me, to believe in the incarnation and that something can be both human and divine, but that of course would require a conversation in itself.

Are you prepared to have the conversation in a Space?
— Secular Koranist (@Book_of_Rules) September 23, 2023
If you can get more to join the conversation, then sure. But I don't have a lot of time if it's just you. And to be honest, you started off rather belligerent posturing points, I am not inclined to spend my time on you until you demonstrate an interest in engaging my materials.

You just have to successfully defend the Trinity against the accusation of idolatry and blasphemy. Since Christians are known for worshipping an executed blasphemer as the co-equal of the God of Israel who is also Allah, I think you’re on a sticky wicket.
— Secular Koranist (@Book_of_Rules) September 23, 2023
*shrug*, as I said, I'm not a classical theist, so I'm not sure what constitutes "successfully defend" to you in this context. Am I allowed, for example, to postulate that God could be a material being like Tertullian and Hobbes?
