I do not believe that God leaves, or causes, any to walk in darkness. I believe that all men in all ages have been granted glimpses of the Light; for some it has been the mere flashes of a candle at a distance and for others it has been the blinding brilliance of the midday sun, but all have had at least a glimpse of the Truth. The Scriptures and logic both support me in this view:
Free Speech, Corporations, and Dissent
On the Constructive Denial of Rights
Unique among nations, the United States of America professes to and actually does protect freedom of speech. Enshrined in the First Amendment, but not granted by it, is the freedom for all to speak their minds and to be free from having their lives destroyed for doing so. This freedom has consistently been interpreted very broadly by the Supreme Court.

An ideology is a set of ideas and beliefs. Religions are ideologies. The argument that all religions are equal and should be granted equal respect is misguided, at best.
To claim that all religions are equal is to ignore reality. Inherent in the assertion of “equality” is an underlying assertion that all ideologies are equal, and, taken to a more fundamental level, that all ideas are equal.
[A⊻¬A] ∧ [¬(A∧¬A)]
Given proposition A, the state of reality is such that A is true or A is false; in short, A⊻¬A. One of these must be true, and the other false. The same holds for all propositions.
All else being held equal, a true belief is superior to a false belief.
∴ a true religion is superior to a false one.

For all of humanity’s tens of thousands of years of history, a very simple truth has served as the bedrock upon which tribes, cities, States, Civilizations, and Cultures have been founded: family trump strangers. If a human being must choose between a family member or a stranger, all else being held equal, the natural, and, indeed, moral, choice is to choose the family member. From family, this simple rule extends outward via growing, concentric circles: from family to tribe, from tribe to People, and from People to Civilization. Unset from this foundation, no Civilization can long survive, and tribe-based conflict must inevitably result.

“But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.”
— II Thessalonians 3:13-15 (NKJV)
I am my brother’s keeper. When he strays from the truth, it is my duty to correct him; when I stray from the truth, it is his duty to correct me.1 It would be dereliction of duty and a betrayal of my brothers were I to choose to remain silent as to the state of the Church in the West, particularly in America.

This is a terrible move; big-game/trophy hunting of this kind should be permanently banned. Allowing the importation of ‘trophies’ from these hunts will ultimately harm conservation efforts, not promote or help them. We are stewards of this world and we must act accordingly.
If Living, Then Not Both Rational and Honest
The Central Logical Problem of Atheism and Hard Materialism
Anyone who claims to be an Atheist should immediately lose any and all credibility with rational men, for an Atheist can be at most two of the following things: alive, rational, and honest. Naturally, this means that a living Atheist must be irrational or dishonest. The logic behind these conclusions is as simple as it is compelling: If there is no soul1, this life is, in the end analysis, wholly and totally devoid of meaning. In the face of a meaningless existence, the only logical action is not to act. However, avoiding personal pain and suffering is also2 rational, so suicide (in order to avoid the pain and suffering entailed by simply waiting to die) is the most rational choice.

The American Nationalist Movement: An Inflection Point
Ad Astra Per Aspera
The American Nationalist movement is currently rudderless, adrift on a sea of perils where every shore offers opportunity if only one can be reached. We are leaderless1, our platform is non-existent, and our plans are underdeveloped or wholly absent. Wars are won or lost on resources, logistics, and strategy, in that order, and make no mistake: We are at war.

I did not want to write this piece. For my part, I believe it would be better if Hugh Hefner were allowed to fade into the mists of time, history serving to erase both his evil and his name from the surface of the Earth and the memory of the human race. However, there are those who have taken a different tack, and so a rebuttal must be lodged. On the one hand, there are those who praise Mr. Hefner for his ‘advancement’ of the so-called “sexual revolution”; on the other hand, there are those who condemn Mr. Hefner’s actions but stop short of condemning the man. Both camps are mistaken.

The Theology of Hell
Inescapable, Annihilative, and Just
There is, perhaps, no more contentious part of Christian theology than Hell. Other parts of the theology1 occasionally cause controversy (particularly in our increasingly immoral and decadent society in the West), but little can compare with the assertion that all who do not believe will be judged, condemned by their lack of belief, and damned to an eternity of suffering. Nevertheless, Hell remains a centrally important part of Christian theology and warrants substantial consideration.
