Why do they HATE Christianity?
Notes from Underground about free will and the war between managerialism and Humanity
In Notes from Underground, Dostoevsky provides a simple and straightforward argument against determinism: Man must have free will, because if you could somehow create a chart (or today, a computer program) showing every action a man would perform in every circumstance, the man would deliberately do something that wasn’t on the chart, just to show that he had free will.
It’s not a very sophisticated argument, and I’m sure clever philosophers could easily demolish it with their clever arguments; but it nevertheless rings true at an intuitive, spiritual level that is deeper than logic. Either you see that there is some dimension of Man’s essential Nature that can never be captured by charts or computer programs, or you don’t; but if you fail to see it, what it means is that you are spiritually blind. The distinction is there, whether you are able to see it or not.
I recently did a podcast episode1 with
in which we talked about Christianity (stay tuned for a forthcoming Part II!). Ordinarily, whenever I publish a podcast episode, I type up a TL;DL (Too Long; Didn’t Listen) recapitulation of what was discussed. However, on this episode, I didn’t do that because, well, the thing with Mark is, he always gives me a lot to think about. After talking with him or reading one of his posts, I always feel like I need to chew on the ideas a little more before I write a response, because there are always some additional inferences to be made and insights to be gleaned which I would miss if I rushed through it. And this conversation was no different.One important fact that keeps coming up for me, is how much all the worst people absolutely hate Christianity. And I do mean HATE, with an unreasoning, uncontrollable, all-consuming HATRED that calls to mind the infamous biblical phrase “weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.” Take the most vicious and vile vermin doing the most detestable things in our culture — pushing transgenderism onto children, promoting the Neocon-artist forever-war machine, trying to make sure that by 2030 you live in a pod and eat the bugs, etc. — NOTHING triggers their outrage like the Name of Jesus being openly celebrated by serious Christians.
I’ve heard various reasons proposed as to why. Maybe it’s old-fashioned tribalism and historical grievance? Many Jews still look at the fading ghosts of European Christianity and still see the threat of imminent persecution and pogroms. No doubt this explains some of the anti-Christian hysteria, but not all. Not all avowed anti-Christians are Jewish, and not all Jews are avowedly anti-Christian.
Maybe it’s that postmodern moralists abhor traditional notions of Good and Evil? If Christians are insisting on calling white “white” and black “black,” this will obviously bring them into conflict with the clownworld authorities who insist that it’s all indistinguishable shades of grey, or that white is actually black and black is actually white. But others who make this same distinction, like Muslims and Orthodox Jews, are allowed to publicly follow their convictions without generating the same kind of backlash that Christians face from the regime.
In fact, as the Neo-Con-artist cabal running our foreign policy has repeatedly demonstrated, they will ally with, aid, and abet the most ruthlessly intolerant Islamists (like the Muslim Brotherhood) before they will lift a finger to help the persecuted indigenous Christians. Back in 1990s Europe, the Clinton Administration sided militarily with Muslims and against Christians in Bosnia. And of course, non-European Muslim invaders are given preferential treatment by European governments against their own native citizens (whether Christian or not). No, the regime is not anti-religion or anti-traditional morality (as shown by the fact that it will cheerfully promote Islam); it is anti-Christian.
To return to Dostoevsky’s simple argument in Notes from Underground, here’s why the regime is anti-Christian: free will. Christianity reminds Man that he is a spiritual being, not a machine. Other Abrahamic religions may also convey this message, but Christianity goes further. Islam and Judaism tell you what rules to follow and what rituals to perform if you want to be right with God. Christianity tells you the Law is for slaves, and God has not called you to be a slave but a son (or daughter).2
I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. (Galatians 4:1-7 (ESV).)
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13 (ESV).)
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31-32 (KJV).)
Whether you agree with these passages or not, you have to acknowledge that they present something that is unique to Christianity. Prior to Christianity, no other religion promised this kind of relationship with the ultimate and eternal God.
Now, if the entire point of the Globohomo Ziobankster Inc.’s governing order is to turn men into soulless cogs in the worldwide managerial machine, then Christianity is inimical of that agenda. You can’t turn a son of God into a soulless cog in your machine. A son of God has free will, and in the global prison the regime seeks to build for us, there’s no room for free will. Hence, the regime hates Christianity.
For a comprehensive treatment of this theme, read On the Freedom of a Christian (1520) by Martin Luther: https://www.projectwittenberg.org/etext/luther/freedom/
First, i agree with your insight. Second, there must be an element of resentment folded in there somewhere. Their world view, whether neo-marxist, communist,humanist, transhumanist.etc.etc is unfulfilled and hinges on our cooperation. The Christian world view is fulfilled, and is redemptive and does not require their participation, their blessing, their creations, none of it . When they say 'this can all be yours' we instinctively say, it's not yours to give.' Those be fighting words.
The reason why they hate Christianity is because it demands of you that you be good, that you understand that you will be judged by the highest authority, that you live in accordance with the rules set out by a transcendent entity, the creator of the heavens, the shaper of the mountains, the Lord God.
The freedom loving postmodernists, the cultural Marxists of modernity, hate this because it reminds them that their rights to be debauched are merely earthly freedoms that detract from 'good,' making them the opposite of good, namely evil practices that starve the soul. The man without God becomes a hungry ghost who pushes his religious instinct into everything but God in the hope that his thirst be quenched. He tries to be God without an ounce of divinity by making up the rules as he goes along, he hates the fact that he may be judged by a higher power and this makes him resentful, resistant of the fact that God is love and forgiving of all transgressions, as long as he's willing to at least try to improve.
