Sometimes, a government can be anything BUT civil. “Christianity and democracy are inevitably enemies.” — RJ Rushdoony

  • Towards a Christian Understanding of Religious Liberty

  • 10/14/2024

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 […]

  • The Agent Of Natural Law: Conscience

  • 08/06/2024

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 […]

  • Christians In A Purpose-Driven Bureaucracy

  • 05/13/2024

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 […]

  • Martyrdom In A Democracy

  • 03/05/2024

The word martyr actually comes from the Greek word martys/μάρτυς – often translated as witness. This is the Greek word used in Acts 22:20 when Paul recounted the martyrdom of Stephen. By the end of the second century, the word martyr had become increasingly associated with death. While the term still held on to its […]

  • The Iowan Idol Smasher and Christian Political Action

  • 12/21/2023

In many circles, Christian Nationalists are easily identified by their stance on blasphemy laws. A man who believes in enforcing them is often considered a Christian Nationalist, regardless of whether he affiliates as such or not. Much of the rhetoric surrounding these laws can just as easily be applied to the destruction of idols. It […]

  • Apostate Nationalism – What About Fake Christians?

  • 06/01/2023

In the Christian political sphere, this is a somewhat common question. What do we do about fake Christians within the Christian Nationalist movement? I have no doubt that some of the people asking this question mean well, but the nature of the question is one that is easily abused by some that intend to misunderstand. […]

  • The Virtue Of Eradication

  • 03/14/2023

The heathens admire softness. In a world of half-truths and muddy morals, the pagans venerate the malleable. By accommodating every person and idea that will bend, they exclude those of confidence and unambiguity from their circles. It is a matter of necessity. The enforcement of these principles can be readily seen in today’s world. If […]

  • Church Donations vs Government Spending

  • 12/31/2022

Psalm 37:16 – “Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked.” A key component of Christianity is the understanding that worldly wealth does not create riches in heaven. Jesus made clear that, if anything, wealth was a hindrance to the kingdom of heaven (Mark 10:25). That being said, have you […]

  • The NAE Letter – ‘Respect’ For Marriage

  • 12/15/2022

One day after the senators announced an amendment compromise, the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) published their letter to Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Susan Collins (R-ME), thanking them for their work. Baldwin and Collins had been instrumental in the passage of the “Respect” for Marriage Act; a bill codifying government support of homosexuality. The […]

  • Dodgeball Discrimination: An Analogy

  • 12/01/2022

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was made into a law, making discriminatory actions illegal across the United States. Through this act, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was created for the purpose of enforcing these anti-discrimination laws. Today, the EEOC has the capacity to assess charges and file lawsuits against employers that “discriminate against […]

  • Biden’s Plutocracy

  • 11/07/2022

Politics is no longer defined in terms of right and left. With the rise of corporations, the United States has turned into a plutocracy – rule by the wealthy. This diagram shows the campaign contributions of the largest corporations and universities. It should be fairly obvious from this image that the government is already in […]
