The life defined by what you refuse to die for.
As a continuation of the Protestant political tradition, this site is for dissidents. Each article, reviewed by the Admin before publication, is intended to spread reformed political thought and further Right-wing discussion. We welcome anonymous contributors, and are excited to see what you write.
There seems to be a rather persistent misunderstanding of the rationale behind rejecting Leftist framing among conservatives. It is a deep-rooted confusion that would greatly benefit from a more rational discourse. After all, the goal of the Right-wing movement is not to “find the real racists.” The goal is to reject such a framework in […]
In 2018, evangelicals in the reformed world decided it was finally time to slow down the social justice movement. Dubbed the “Statement on Social Justice & the Gospel,” several well-known theologians found their signatures on a document meant to target the Left. Unsurprisingly, the statement drew criticism from the intended audience. “They’re so imprecise in […]
It has been more than four years since the death of George Floyd, yet the Christian discourse on race has only managed to devolve. Progressives, of course, never stopped their rants about racism. In the conservative world, the mere subject of race is — to this day — treated like an unapproachable leper. Even conservative-minded […]
As far as metrics are concerned, quantifying Religious Liberty is a nearly impossible task. The current methods of appraising persecution have proven themselves to be woefully inadequate, often confusing democracy itself with the true object of Christian martyrdom. Even the act of defining Religious Liberty is a complicated undertaking. For starters, it is impossible to […]
Analogies have many uses. Done properly, they provide insights into complicated subjects, making it easier to relate to an analogous scenario. But if done poorly, a tortured analogy will undermine a listener’s understanding, resulting in a worse interpretation than before. As far as logic is concerned, it is best to use only the most apt […]
Why isn’t common sense common? It is a simple question but one that provokes a plethora of answers. Some argue that a lack of shared experience produces this phenomenon and that proper education could get us all on the same page again. Theology-minded individuals may blame the curse of sin, along with all its rationale-reducing […]
In 1978, the first baby conceived by IVF was born. Nowadays, about 1-3% of all births in the US rely on this technology for conception. But after 40+ years of living with this technology, it seems as if Christians still don’t really know what to make of it. Denominational statements on the subject are sparse; […]
Of all the frustrating trends in evangelical discourse, this latest attempt to redefine Christian political engagement has been one of the worst. Coined the “woke right,” this newly-appropriated label actually functions as a paradox. This new trend claims that “woke” no longer strictly applies to those who advocate for social justice. Now, they claim that […]
Human autonomy is often characterized by the ability to choose. All the various choices and decisions of human behavior can sometimes be generalized, but you will inevitably come across outliers in your dataset — the people who don’t fit the mold. With the rise of bureaucracy, outliers become more and more problematic. Each system designed […]
For shorter books, it is often easier to read the entire thing through than it is to comment on it. This book was no different. After I read Choose Better: Five Biblical Models For Making Ethical Decisions, I found myself spending more time writing this article than I did reading the book. As a matter […]
