After finishing the show last week, I thought I left too much on the cutting room floor, so I picked up those scraps to make a follow on show this week. With next weekend being Memorial Day, there may not be a show on Friday, so I figured a sequel to the original while the ideas were fresh in my mind made some sense. If I do a show next week it will be on short topics, so send your suggestions.
The thing I wanted to get to last week, but spent too much time bashing the Protestants, is that we are in an age in which we not only have a fractured morality, but we also have a fractured metaphysics. The extreme example is we have some people who think their sex is assigned to them at birth. If they wish hard enough, they can change their sex and transcend the two-sex paradigm.
Crazy people are a part of every society, so while these people are fringe weirdos, they get support from a large and powerful segment of society. Many of our ruling class question the basics of reality. They are open to sex being imaginary because they are open to reality being a shared delusion created by the pale penis people to dominate the nonwhite population.
It is exceedingly difficult to have a society composed of people with differing opinions about how society ought to be organized and how we ought to live in it. If the differences are not too wide, then some compromise can be made. It is not possible to have a stable society when large parts of it have a different conception of reality from other parts of society, which is the present situation.
This new paganism is in some way an effort to create a new universal morality to replace the old one and use it to clear the decks of the alternatives. In another way it is an acknowledgement that the differences in how these different groups understand reality is too different to ever have a shared morality. Attempts to impose a new morality just highlight these differences in how we perceive reality.
The Gaia worshippers, for example, are not dealing in practical issues like the physical world when they demand sustainable agriculture and renewable energy. These are not real things that can exist in the physical world as most people understand it. Therefore, it is probably not possible for them to share the same society as those who think we should exploit our resources to advance our material existence.
The race issue is where the differences in morality and metaphysics make clear that the gaps are two large to traverse. If you think magic is why black people commit so much more crime than whites, you can never find a compromise with those who think behavior is rooted in biology. There can be no agreed upon ways to deal with black crime that are satisfactory to both camps.

The Mainline Protestant denominations apparently aren’t that far gone if you look beyond the pulpit into the pews. In the last podcast from Anglican Unscripted (914), one of the topics the hosts discussed is that the laity of the Mainline Protestant congregations like the United Methodist Church (UMC), Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA), and others voted 60-40 in favor of Trump. Their pastors and bishops (or whatever equivalent to bishop they use) are all loony dingbats, but the average person in the pew is downright sick of the nonsense. People want the nation and… Read more »
Don’t be stupid: sustainable agriculture is the basis of human civilization.
Always has been, always will be.
Don’t be stupid. X has been the basis of all religions. Fill up the X.

Impossible for me to reconcile with what New Amerika has become.
I will take my brothers with me and we’ll see how she fares then.
Are Christians allowed to discuss how the rules of early Christianity were created or do you have to be a pagan to do so?
“The Gaia worshippers, for example, are not dealing in practical issues like the physical world when they demand sustainable agriculture and renewable energy.”
Most of those Gaia worshipers, the true adherents not the ones who know it is nonsense but are using it for nefarious purposes, are women. Without women making babies the society can’t exist.
This is why driving a stake through the heart of feminism is a necessity if the culture is to survive. As we all know, feminism causes women to go insane and lowers the birthrate.
I generally agree with your closing statement in that whatever formation we’d want for a group identity a shared ethos of some sort will be required. Optimists think that Christianity can be reformed to this end and all I can say is “maybe” and, well, there’s no other ideas besides that I’ve seen*.
*(Strict White nationalists will point genetic clannishness being the basis and while I think their point has some validity I just don’t think it’s workable; too many White nationalist men with…”not White nationalist” wives).
Christianity in the south is still prospering by splitting away from mainline liberal denominations. The Presbyterians are fractured – PC USA being the woke side that people are leaving for more traditional sects like PCA and ECO.
The Chicago Lutheran synod has rainbow flags everywhere – so the Missouri and Wisconsin synods are growing by being traditional.
The Methodist church split up last year. Many of them around here went to the conservative Global Methodist side.
There are traditional Anglican churches that aren’t insane like the Episcopalians
