Episode notes
Love Necessitates Hatred
- Christians are commanded to love, and hatred naturally results from love when opposing evil.
- God hates sin because He loves holiness, so hatred is a necessary consequence of love, not a virtue itself.
Post-War Consensus Blocks Tradition
- The post-war consensus and 'never-again' mentality inhibit embracing group distinctions like nationalism.
- A cultural shift back to traditional values and strong gods is inevitable, and the Christian version should be embraced.
Old Gods Align With Nature
- Old gods like patriarchy and nationalism are viable because they align with nature's order.
- Secular humanism rejects nature and leads to societal collapse, while traditional values bring temporal stability.
