@Starprophet The Christian church is too busy rewarding single moms for their bad choices to help struggling men with disabilities.

“I knew people who killed themselves, who died of opioid overdose, and whose families were involved with various churches.”

“What help did the church offer them?”

“None at all. Including the most basic old timey Christian charity, aid for widows and orphans.”

“Absolute zero. Beyond useless hopes and prayers of course.”

Jeff Younger, the father of James Younger, tried to get help from evangelical churches in Texas. The family court ordered that his son be turned over to his ex-wife, to be castrated by transgender hormones :trannycide26: . The evangelical churches refused to help him, because they believed that hindering family courts was disrespectful to women.

In my world churches were worthless parasitic entities that did absolutely nothing for the community, instead focusing on overseas missions and woo-woo nonsense of no use to anyone.

@joancallamezzo123 If the organized church did nothing to encourage mutual aid it doesn't get to take credit for private actions.

I couldn't help but notice the widow I am thinking of specifically moved out of state soon after. Apparently there was nothing much of value in what she left behind.

@JohnYoungE Everything you posted is true, and it was known for centuries, yet in the face of the technomaterialist revolution altering the conditions on the ground it proved impotent.

My utterly cynical view, imbibed from naked self interest, has always been that the ultra-pro social culture was a gigantic con job to get me to consent to the draft and other atrocities intended to make me a beast of burden, or worse, a Christ! In that game the losing move for any individual is to consent.

Christianity generates a context where the act of total selfishness is to be selfless - by the simple expedient of generating two phantom realms, one of pleasure, the other of terror.

But it only works if you maintain kayfabe.

Too late now.

@JohnYoungE It's all about skin in the game.

The men who support the old ways are aging out. The 'zoomer revival' is boomer astroturf intended to jumpstart their fading hopes and dreams.

The smart money - trillions of dollars worth - is all-in for materialist life extension, artificial superintelligence, fusion power and nanotechnology.

Kind family men deeply committed to morality have been getting their asses kicked by pragmatists for 400 years.

Next 400 not looking so good either.

Why did Americans become capitalist nomads?

For the money, obviously.

The small comforts of their little towns could not compete with the higher salaries and opportunities on offer elsewhere.

From 1945 to 2010 20% of Americans moved each year.

The stable cultural context provided by the church depends on its members staying put. If over half of them are gone after five years the meshnet disintegrates.

The left believes that fascism is more seductive than Sydney Sweeney... and they're right.

@judgedread @Escoffier Best we can do is a "retreat" that appeals to and caters to mostly women. And the husbands that indulge them.

But, my God. That's a beautiful image.

I understand why men built cathedrals in their time. Same urge.

@Obfuskation Deism itself has been whitewashed by 1776 as the triumph of the current thing revisionism, particularly in 1976 when the Bicentennial brought the subject to the fore.

Deism was overtly anti-Christian, not 'Christianity-lite' as it is presented by social proofer gospel evangelists.

@ins0mniak Anyone who thinks the US was founded as a Christian nation should read Christian ultra-fundamentalist and Ph.D in US colonial history holder Gary North's Conspiracy in Philadelphia, the conclusive debunking of the sentimental evangelical fantasy of eternally Jesus-steeped America.

One's an actual priest who discovered genetics, the other is a mediocre grifter pretending to be a cleric.
