False Guilt, Atonement, & Modern Man

When man refuses to look to Christ for atonement for his genuine sin and guilt he will become manipulated by both genuine guilt and subsequent false guilt with the consequence that fallen man will seek to provide self atonement through either sadist or masochist means. Man apart from Christ will either seek to transfer his guilt to others in a pseudo-religious act of humanist atonement or man will masochistically punish himself in an act of attempted self atonement.

The act of masochistic atonement that is being seen right now is the white man seeking to work off his assigned false guilt and provide self atonement by owning the false guilt heaped on by the pseudo idea of “white guilt,” “white privilege,” and “white fragility,” as well as the false notion of systemic racism. Instead of dealing with his genuine sin against the God of the Bible and the resulting guilt by looking to Christ alone as the sin-bearer and guilt remover fallen white man is accepting humanist false guilt and is trying to masochistically work it off by accepting the social order penalties that is currently being heaped on him by the sadistic Cultural Marxist minorities, feminists, and perverts, etc. who themselves are trying to work out their own sin and guilt by sadistically placing it upon the white man.

All of this explains why it is only Reformation and a trusting of Jesus Christ to take away real sin and guilt that can deliver us from our current CRT social order suicide pursuit. As long as fallen man refuses to look to Christ alone who can take away sin he will forever manipulate others with guilt or will be manipulated by guilt all in an attempt to find a way to gain atonement and so rid themselves of a guilt that can never be removed apart from the finished work of Jesus Christ.

You see, no matter how much he promises himself that the most recent innovation of self atonement will finally take away his guilt, he is left with a never-ending sense of guilt. The consequence is that he will continue to be manipulated by Cultural Marxists, WOKE politicians and humanist psychologists with false guilt.

I am convinced that it was this dynamic that found Obama being elected in 2012. Men and women without Christ believed that they could be atoned for by the masochist work of voting for the magic negro Barack Obama who would take sin and false guilt away from self-loathing white people. I am convinced that it is this dynamic that finds white people accepting all the smegma that comes from the CRT toady-drops that are being heaped upon them. I am convinced that a whole lot of the “help people” programs that do-gooders pursue with such conviction that sprout up all around us are a product of guilt not being handled properly.

This reality reminds us that as with all lies, we get swings between rationalism and irrationalism. Sometimes guilt is acknowledged, eg white guilt, and false atonements and mortifications are attempted. Other times guilt is pathologized as a psychiatric illness, and various self-help therapies are adopted to cure this bad feeling and restore self esteem. Neither works, hence the oscillation. One escape is to change the law in one’s mind, to justify and rationalize behavior, usually by hating the victim.
 Ultimately guilt can only be healthily confronted in the light of the atonement of Jesus Christ. Only by petitioning for a pardon based on Christ’s death in my place can fallen man admit guilt and say he is worthy of death and yet maintain hope and self-esteem because Christ provided atonement and so died in his stead.
