Many out there are looking at the Islamic riots, and the growing arrogance (and fertility) of that group, and considering that they are the strong horse, they are joining them.
Fools. They have fallen into a common lie — that the society is going to fall apart, and there is nothing we can do but join them. That society sets the rules, not nature, and not God. (The idea that nature has rules, of course, is an offence against queer theory — which is another useless degree).
God always leaves a remnant. There is always a minority that continue to live in godly ways, and (this is not in the main discourse of our nations) this remnant breed.
And by your fruits you will know them. By their children their nature will be come apparent. If their children are violent, aggressive destructive and jailed, then their ways require reformation. However, if their children are godly, modest, hardworking, truthful and fruitful, then their mothers will have the great pleasure of grandchildren and society will become less progressive.
Because progressives, with their marriage 2.0, do not breed when it is easy to conceive and bear, but wait until it is costly, difficult, and often impossible.
The idea that you are alone and you should give up is a lie. It is of the Devil. At the risk of breaking Gresham’s law, it is the argument of the National Socailists. Your soul matters, and that soul better be with Christ. And we must not let our bleakness fade into despair, becoming a stumbling block.
1Jesus said to his disciples, “Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! 2It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. 4And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive.”
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7“Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here at once and take your place at the table’? 8Would you not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink’? 9Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? 10So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!’”
13If you will only heed his every commandment that I am commanding you today – loving the LORD your God, and serving him with all your heart and with all your soul – 14then he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil; 15and he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you will eat your fill. 16Take care, or you will be seduced into turning away, serving other gods and worshiping them, 17for then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you and he will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain and the land will yield no fruit; then you will perish quickly off the good land that the LORD is giving you.
18You shall put these words of mine in your heart and soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and fix them as an emblem on your forehead. 19Teach them to your children, talking about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise.
Overnight, I had some hope, THere is a group of traditionalist young Frenchwomen who have become fed up with the Femen trollettes invading churches and events — notably not Islamic ones — to flaunt their ideas. THey are akin to a topless version of Pussy Riot.
People are waking up. THey are seeing how this path will go, and as Antigone says, they are horrified.
Femen, we have seen you on the television screen. We have tried to be patient and quiet. But you are degrading and we are shocked. We spent seven weeks on the internet trying to understand you. Now I’ve had enough. I am going to tell you these things, because we aren’t afraid anymore. Today the masks fall, and I gather together all my Antigones. Don’t cheat with us. We, we are women. We are disgusted by your degrading antics. We are disgusted that you dare to speak for women. Not in anger but in sadness I speak today. I am sad for the modern world but especially for the people of France who have been in service to this ideology that you do not relinquish. I have much to say to you. You represent sterile opposition. Your violence prevents any constructive work or any debate. We deplore this. You claim you fight for women but really you fight against them. Look at these women before you, beautiful and elegant. So as of now the use exploitation of women as tools is over!
FInally, an explanation for the title, for much of what we have been discussing is the futility fo the progressive project. Well, it is because some morons in Washington (and their minions) are tyring to stop free speech, as Frances Perrotto notes.
Dare to say anything Bill Killian deems “inflammatory against Muslims” and he’ll bring the full weight of the federal government down on you. At the very least he’ll threaten it, as he did in the statement above. The whole point of his “educational effort” is to pre-deter anyone whom he would later have to prosecute.
Mind you, Killian doesn’t have to win such a case. He doesn’t have to put an Islam-defamer behind bars, or compel him to pay a fine, or even compel him to apologize. He just has to threaten prosecution to get what he wants — the silencing of adverse opinion — because the anxiety, distortions, and expense involved in defending oneself against the federal government, which has essentially infinite resources with which to hound its targets, are punishment enough to deter nearly anyone, no matter what the verdict should prove to be.
I am fortunate enough to live in a country where speaking against Islam is merely rude. And given a choice between rudeness and Christ, I choose rudeness every time. Let’s finish with the Antigone statement for the monolingual.
Yea and verily, I diggeth this post. Mortality enjoys exposing our cowardice. Islam is Legion so mortality is catered to in mixing physical and spiritual rewards for obedience. They need not fear time for theirs is a bottomless well of followers to continue. As well as a brutal but unwavering ethos.
Christians? For us, it seems, do what thou will shall be the whole of our new law. Our ethos is replaced with us, the self; this stupid flesh. I can only hope and work to be part of the remnant. We can’t fight the devil so fighting for God is the only real option.
Wise words, beautiful video.
The Islamists may win in this life but not the next. The issue for Christians is whether to go quietly. Society may well fall apart but the Church will still exist somewhere and in some form and the Gospel will still be preached. I suspect the remnant was, at times, pretty small and will be again. And that’s the good news.
They won’t win in this life. Like all parasites, when they get too demanding they will either kill the body (or nation) and lose, or be forced out. My money is on the latter.
What makes you think the muslims will be forced out?
Disgust by the majority. That will undercut the narrative from the media. Most people mistrust the media now.
