“A secret voice whispers to me incessantly that ifI were to live among saints I would need to carry a dagger. [...] How can one not hate the angels, the saints, and God, that entire band from paradise which fuels such a passionate longing for other shelters and other temptations? Heaven irritates me. In its Christian guise, it drives me to despair.”

“The basic move of liberalism is to replace the social centre (normal people) with the margin (foreigners, minorities, deviants) forever. The stack does that by shielding these marginal identities from any criticism ever, and it is an especially clear example of the monstrous principle of equity at work. If you assume that there are fundamentally no differences between people, any difference in outcomes must be evidence of secret, hidden oppression. The obese, HIV+ otherkin with 80 IQ isn’t ignored because she’s creepy and stupid, it’s because of “systemic bias”, and she needs to be platformed for you to hear her wonderful ideas. It all sounds insane when laid out in plain language, but the same principle is at work in something that many decent and well-adjusted people would defend: civil rights law.”

“The Great War has left the world, and
particularly poor old battered Europe, with
many a high ideal shattered and many a
respected principle destroyed. Not only
the beliefs of our grandfathers, but also
the convictions of our fathers, seem now oldfashioned and no longer seaworthy. Certainly an old era is dead ; but has a new
era been born ? A new era suggests new
ideals, new leading principles ; it suggests a breastful of new and stout convictions.
Have we of this dawning era any new ideals or principles? Have we any new and stout
convictions?”

“There’s no question that you can accurately judge people by how they look. But should you? The only objection that’s remotely plausible is that you can judge groups as groups but you can’t judge individuals as members of groups. But even this is stupid when you think about it for two seconds—of course you can, because this is the whole point of pattern recognition. Most men can be stronger than most women without every man being stronger than every woman. If you want to see how insane the results of considering men and women equally strong are, look at how transgender “women” (mutilated men) dominate real women in sports.”

“Worshiping Jesus is not truly meaningful until one can expand his consciousness to receive within himself the Christ Consciousness. That is the second coming of Christ. Unless you do your part, a thousand Christs come on earth would not be able to save you. You have to work for your own salvation. Then Christ can help you.”
