False Ideologies as False Religions… Christianity Never Goes Away


Unquestioning belief in the Holocaust has become the new religion of the last 50 years. This despite that in the 1992 Auschwitz itself reduced the number of Jewish deaths in Auschwitz by half.

Jewish and Polish scholars of the Holocaust now agree that the Auschwitz death toll was less than half the four million cited here for four decades. The actual number was probably between 1.1 million and 1.5 million-and at least 90 percent of the victims were Jews.

Despite this recognition scholars in Europe still go to prison for merely questioning aspects of the Holocaust. As such, belief in the Holocaust has become a matter of faith and so has been ensconced as a religion.

In this Holocuastianity religion the theological matrix is as follows,

Original Sin = Questioning aspects of the holocaust
Sacrificial lamb = The Jewish people themselves are the lamb of God as slain by the Nazis
Places of Worship = Holocaust Museums
High Priests = Eli Weisel, Simon Wisenthal, Deborah Lipstadt
Places of Pilgrimages = Yad Vashem
Holocaust Saints = Anne Frank, Edith Stein
Prophets = Holocaust “survivors”
Scriptures = Written Testimony of inmates
Inquisition = Global Major Media watching out for denials
Excommunications = David Irving, Ernst Zundel, Richard Williamson
Laity = All who snap attention at recitation of the golem number
Calvary / Golgotha = Bergen-Belsen, Majdanek, Chelmno, Auschwitz
Cross = Gas Chambers
The Suffering Redeemer = Inmates
Holocaust = Sacrificial Offering

Any questioning or inquiry into any aspect of this event immediately is a violation of the new faith and requires excommunication. Any questioning or inquiry into any aspect of this event means that the inquiring person is a racist and anti-Semite and desires to send everybody not like him to be gassed.

This idea of sacred ideologies being turned into non-falsifiable religions is not an unusual phenomenon. Much of that which is unreal positing as reality is in point of fact a religion that is not falsifiable and so has all the marks of religion.

Here are a couple other examples. The Religion is Intersectionality / Critical Race theory. The theological matrix is as follows,

Original sin = White cis-gendered Male believing in patriarchy
Regeneration = WOKE
Sanctification = Anti-Racism / Never Trump Activism / Anti-fa
Saints = Martin Luther King, Rodney King, George Floyd
Inquisition = SJW cancel culture
Scripture = Works of James Cone / Gustavo Gutiérrez / Jeremiah Wright
Prophets = Ron Burns, Russel Moore, Matt Hall, Albert Mohler, Duke Kwan
Places of Worship = Any PCA, SBC, OPC, Episcopal, Roman church of your choosing.

The Religion is Climate Change. The theological matrix is,

Original Sin = Climate change denial
Priestess = Alexandria Occasio Cortez, Greta Thunberg
Heaven = Elimination of all Carbon gasses
Hell = The proliferation of the gas engine
Catechism = Agenda 2030
Places of Worship = Nature
Prophets = Al Gore, Michael Moore
Salvation = The New Green Deal

One key point in all this is that the theological categories of Christianity are inescapable realities. One may deny Christianity and Christ. One may deny the God of the Bible. However, whatever new system is arrived at will be a system that includes all the categories of Biblical Christianity. This teaches that God’s reality never goes away and reminds us if we want to think consistent with real reality we must think in terms of Biblical Christianity (Calvinism) categories. Reality never goes away. Reality is like the bumps in the old Bugs Bunny cartoon that Bugs would give to Daffy Duck. Daffy might push one of those bumps in only to find that bump come out on another spot on his noggin. People might push in the bumps (categories) of Christianity to try and make them go away but that bump always comes out someplace else.

Men can’t make God’s reality go away.

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
