Amerika and myself are fortunate to have my article, “Behave,” re-printed on the British Freedom Party website. This party does interesting things and their support means a lot to us.
The party’s objectives are:
The objectives of the British Freedom Party shall be to defend and restore the freedoms, traditions, unity, identity, democracy and independence of the British people, to establish full sovereignty over all our national affairs by restoring the supremacy of the British Parliament, to withdraw from the European Union, to promote democratic British nationalist principles, to promote the social, economic, environmental and cultural interests of the British people and to preserve and promote the ancestral rights and liberties of the British people as defined in the British Constitution. – British Freedom Party
We live in interesting times. The post-1789 order of the nation-state, with accompanying post-enlightenment “progressive” (leftist, liberal) ideals, is failing as the effects of its plans are finally seen. And parties like the British Freedom Party are rising up to show us the world outside the equality cage.

The spelling calls to mind Franz Kafka’s incomplete novel about a young immigrant to America. Kafka originally call the novel “The Stoker”. Through fault of his own and no fault of his own he gets jostled around. I think its fitting the novel was never completed. As a metaphor- the boy as civilisation makes it a whole lot easier and fun to grapple with cycles America goes through.
You list 4 options or models for a way out of this decline. I see a 5th one. I have a very binary way of looking at the world and its people and my own life is included in this. Degreed in Information Technology binary thought is 2nd nature for me. The 5th way is to believe that mankind is hopelessly defective and in need of a man on a white horse to save him. I am a Christian and the man on the white horse would be Jesus. Putting on the Christian glasses you see each individual as being either ‘saved’ or ‘not saved’.
Jesus was a Jew. One day the teachers of the law, the Pharisees, tried to stump Jesus and trap him in a theological corner. They asked him “Teacher of all the laws which one is the most important.” If Jesus had said one thing they would have said that he was against Moses; if he said some other law then he would have been labelled as disagreeing with the Levite tribe or the prophets. Knowing their devious intent he said this “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul and all your strength and love your neighbor as you love yourself. All the law and the prophets hang on this.” After that they did not ask him any more questions.
So the 5th way implies that you become a Christian as I have. Not perfect but forgiven. No one is perfect not one. Then as a Christian you begin to read and study and learn and become a person who is IN the world but not OF the world. Read “Tortured for Christ” by Richard Wurmbrand and you will see my point. Its a short book. But regardless of world system the Christian lives in his objective remains unchanged.
Now Islam is a mockery of this because their objective remains unchanged and you can read all day long about the evil savagery this system wreaks. There is a hidden world in spiritual places that explain all that. No, Christians don’t become robots, as agents of free will they are capable of bad choices to hurt people or something of that nature but re-read the first sentence of my previous paragraph.
Test what I am saying. Investigate this and you will see the binary. nature of Man but not in the sense of yin and yang. You are either ‘saved’ or ‘not saved’ but we will all one day face the White Throne Judgement that will separate good from evil. All the ‘books’ will be opened and the un-saved will be reviewed for the deeds of their life and the saved will be reviewed for the deeds of their life. Sinners will go to the left and will die the 2nd death (book of Revelation)and saints like you might be and what I am will go to the right to be in a world intended for us from the beginning of time.
One day Jesus told his amazed disciples “Don’t rejoice that I have given you power over the demonic; rather rejoice that your name is written in Heaven.” That is me.
Christianity probably had a lot going for it before it became so tainted by liberalism that the one could no longer be distinguished from the other.
It has been this way for some considerable time.
1: Rely on government. (God).
2: Do as you please. (Sin).
3: Say the magic words and you will be forgiven. (Human Rights).
4: Everything will be rosy, while all the others burn in hell. (Leftism).
If that’s not liberalism, I don’t know what is.
The solution is so simple that nobody clues into it:
Stop interpreting The Bible, and stick to this:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul and all your strength.”
Humans don’t do interpretation very well.
Never have, never will.
Life was never meant to be interpreted.
It was meant to be lived.
haha! Wow, that’s so accurate it’s scary.
Sorry Ted. Didn’t mean to scare you :)
Why not come and throw your weight around a bit?
We miss you.
The fundamental error of Christianity was its egalitarianism. If all souls are equal, then all people must be equal, they thought. This took over from the real message which was that you can’t make your soul better by owning stuff.
I can buy into this to a degree. Mankind are creatures, and being a creature means you’re hopelessly confused until you force order upon your mind. You do this through logical thought, but it helps to have a goal and ideal. Religion can provide that. Good to see new faces around here!
St. George, Jurs, Yaryla, Jurja. But Jesus? Errr…
“I”, “me” = an illusion. :)
When they said “man on a white horse,” I was thinking of Gandalf actually. Shadowfax is the archetypal warhorse from the heavens.
