The Radicalised Rabbi: Caleb Maupin finally attempts to discuss Christianity

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.

Caleb Maupin finally attempts to discuss Christianity

42:00 The easiest way to understand the history of Western political ideologies is to understand liberalism as an attempt to replace Christianity and Nationalism Socialism as an attempt to replace liberalism when the Weimar Republic was imposed on the German people after the abdication of the Kaiser, when Christendom ended in 1918.

43:00 Marx would have rejected monarchy and supported republicanism.

46:00 It is tedious how some socialists keep trying to pretend that Jesus was a promoter of socialism just because of what he said about it being harder for the rich man to get to heaven than it would be for a camel to go through the eye of the needle as well as telling the rich young man to sell everything he owned to become one of his apostles. Unfortunately, there are parties and people calling themselves Christian Socialists just as there are people calling themselves Christian Nationalists whom we all know are really White Nationalists who have decided to use the cloak of Christianity to give themselves respectability. Many people who say "Christian" and "Jesus" a lot are only doing so because it has the effect of making others think they are stupid and kind ie as a way of saying they are nice and harmless.

In fact, Jesus is also known for saying "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" which arguably suggests that he was both a monarchist and imperialist.

Using Jesus to pretend he is on your side is frankly lame-brained. A political associate of mine who refuses to define himself properly was complaining about to me the other day that his other political associates were always claiming that he supported their view. They only do that because he has consistently refused to take a strong and consistent position on anything.

54:00 To be fair to Nietzsche, he seemed upset about God having been killed by unspecified persons.

Friedrich Nietzsche – The Gay Science, Book III, Aphorism #125 (The Parable of the Madman):

Have you ever heard of the madman who on a bright morning lighted a lantern and ran to the market-place calling out unceasingly: 'I seek God! I seek God!'? As there were many people standing about who did not believe in God, he caused a great deal of amusement. Why! is he lost? said one. Has he strayed away like a child? said another. Or does he keep himself hidden? Is he afraid of us? Has he taken a sea-voyage? Has he emigrated? - the people cried out laughingly, all in a hubbub. The insane man jumped into their midst and transfixed them with his glances. 'Where is God gone?' he called out. 'I mean to tell you! We have killed him, - you and I! We are all his murderers! But how have we done it? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the whole horizon? What did we do when we loosened this earth from its sun? Whither does it now move? Whither do we move? Away from all suns? Do we not dash on unceasingly? Backwards, sideways, forewards, in all directions? Is there still an above and below? Do we not stray, as through infinite nothingness? Does not empty space breathe upon us? Has it not become colder? Does not night come on continually, darker and darker? Shall we not have to light lanterns in the morning? Do we not hear the noise of the grave-diggers who are burying God? Do we not smell the divine putrefaction? - for even Gods putrefy! God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him! How shall we console ourselves, the most murderous of all murderers? The holiest and the mightiest that the world has hitherto possessed, has bled to death under our knife, - who will wipe the blood from us? With what water could we cleanse ourselves? What lustrums, what sacred games shall we have to devise? Is not the magnitude of this deed too great for us? Shall we not ourselves have to become Gods, merely to seem worthy of it? There never was a greater event, - and on account of it, all who are born after us belong to a higher history than any history hitherto!'"

Here the madman was silent and looked again at his hearers; they also were silent and looked at him in surprise. At last he threw his lantern on the ground, so that it broke in pieces and was extinguished. 'I come too early,' he then said, 'I am not yet at the right time. This prodigious event is still on its way, and is travelling, - it has not yet reached men’s ears. Lightning and thunder need time, the light of the stars needs time, deeds need time, even after they are done, to be seen and heard. This deed is as yet further from them than the furthest star, - and yet they have done it!' It is further stated that the madman made his way into different churches on the same day, and there intoned his Requiem aeternam deo. When led out and called to account, he always gave the reply: 'What are these churches now, if they are not the tombs and monuments of God?

55:00 If you're a nihilist, you would only be interested in getting as much sex, money and power to make your life meaningful and pleasurable before death comes as the end. Nietzsche was an existentialist wondering what how atheists should lead their lives.

Nietzsche diagnosed nihilism as the central crisis of modern Western culture — the belief that life has no inherent meaning, value, or purpose — he did not advocate for it. Instead, he saw nihilism as a dangerous and destructive condition that results from the collapse of traditional values, especially the death of God.

Nietzsche viewed nihilism as a problem to be overcome, not embraced. He argued that the loss of objective meaning creates a crisis, but also an opportunity. His philosophy was a call to "revalue all values" and create new, life-affirming values through the Will to Power, the Übermensch (Overman), and the Eternal Recurrence — concepts designed to inspire individuals to live meaningfully despite the absence of inherent purpose.

In short, Nietzsche was a critic of nihilism, not a proponent. He used the term "nihilist" to describe those who deny life’s value, but he positioned himself as someone who sought to transcend nihilism through creativity, strength, and authenticity.

57:00 There would have been no Roman Catholic Church without Constantine the Great deciding to Christianise the Roman Empire.

59:00 The phrase originates from the Bible, specifically Galatians 6:7 (King James Version): "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." This verse uses farming as a metaphor—planting seeds (actions) leads to a harvest (consequences). It's also echoed in Proverbs 22:8, Hosea 8:7, and 2 Corinthians 9:6, reinforcing the idea that moral and spiritual choices have inevitable results.

This is pretty generic. Hindus and Buddhists call it karma and atheists say to each other "What goes around comes around."

59:15 Marxism is just a modern ideology at the service of workers who want to rebel against bad working conditions. When you think about it, Jews began their existence because they left Egypt as a rejection of their working conditions under Pharaoh. Plebeians in Rome also withdrew their labour when their working conditions were not what they should have been.

1:04:00 Judaism and Islam are lawyers' morality but Christianity is indeed a slave morality because its believers are forbidden to question and inevitably reject the Trinity after realising its absurdity. Questioning, challenging and ejecting the Trinity is heresy attracting the death penalty of being burned at the stake. The Founding Fathers, being Unitarian, were therefore heretical Christians. Interestingly, America has had four Unitarian American Presidents. It is necessary to consider the problem of the Trinity to understand the series of republican revolutions that ended Christendom in 1918.

1:10:00 Did you know that there is a Koranic rate of taxation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khums

1:12:0 We all live in a mixed economy anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_economy The problem is usury.

1:13:00 Wallace Wattles was excommunicated by the Methodist Church for heresy.

1:26:00 To be killed by Israel is to be killed by America.

What are you going to do about US foreign policy when US elections are rigged and your ruling classes are proud that they kill the leaders of countries they dislike?
