This & That on Modernity and Sex

In Modernity sex is seen as;

Individual

Private (nobody else’s business)

Consent is the rule

Pleasure is the principle

This is the view one gets with the autonomous self. However for the Christian, the above is all decidedly non-Christian.

For the Christian, the sexual relation

1.) Supports the community

2.) Is the concern of the community

3.) Consent is the rule BUT only as in the context of marriage

4.) Progenitors are the principle

____

Once you redefine society with sex as a social construct, you end up with a dehumanized society in which there can be no biological Mother or Father or Son or Daughter or Husband or Wife. This means the family no longer has any stable intrinsic meaning or definition and without any stable meaning or definition the State will end up with the authority to “define” family. This gives the state unprecedented powers to micromanage the family.

_______

In Biblical thought, sexual relations can be used to either create and support a community or to destroy a community. This reminds us that any marriage that introduces a heterogeneous element into an otherwise homogeneous social order is an attack on that social order.

What Is White Privilege?

I am thankful to God for growing up with white privilege in the macro culture. I pray that my grandchildren may yet know that white privilege though I’m doubting they will in the macro culture.

White privilege meant that I was able to start delivering papers at about 10 years old on Sunday Mornings at 0200 to 0800. That eventually expanded so that by age 12 and for the next 4 years I was up by 0530 and on the road pedaling my bike by 0600 to pedal 3 miles into town in order to deliver the Detroit Free Press and the Fort Wayne Gazette before attending school. White privilege then included delivering the Sturgis Journal after school as having the largest route in town. All of this also by way of pedaling my bike all over Sturgis. My mother thought white privilege meant that sleep was for wussies.

The white privilege of all those newspapers gave taught me to read better than most of my classmates and gave me a thirst to know. You see, before I would fold up my papers to be on my merry way I would consume those newspapers from front to back. I’d start with the Editorial section, go to the sports section and then finish up with the front page. I didn’t care too much about the “lifestyle” section. White privilege took an inclination for learning and knowing and fanned it into a flame.

White privilege meant that my parents didn’t have to worry about me being on the city streets of the small city I grew up in slinging papers by myself at the wee early hours of the mornings in any kind of weather you’d like to name. White privilege meant that I could wander the neighborhood and play around the lakeshore of each neighbors house without my folks having to worry if I would be ok. White privilege meant I could forget my ball mitt at the ballpark and come back 6 hours later and find it there. White privilege meant that I didn’t have to chain my bike to some tree in order to make sure it wasn’t stolen. White privilege meant that when the little old lady on the paper route offered some apple spice cake I didn’t have to worry that she might have laced it with heroin. White privilege meant I learned the Queen’s English in School and not Ebonics. White privilege meant that my friends didn’t rape my sister when they came over to visit. White privilege meant playing pickup ball games that didn’t end with fisticuffs because someone thought someone cheated. White privilege meant being able to remember the Doctor doing house call visits at the house when I was ill.

White privilege meant my Mother paid for a tutor she couldn’t afford to help me pass Mrs. Poljak’s High School Geometry. White privilege meant a steady diet of working on my Grandparent’s dairy farm dawn to dusk when I wasn’t delivering newspapers. White privilege meant attending Sturgis Wesleyan Church with other adolescents my age who were also enjoying white privilege so that we might all learn what it meant to be Christian people. White privilege meant that I paid my own way through college and later seminary by working while a student and taking out loans for the funds I could not earn. White privilege meant paying those loans back when it would have been easier to just walk away from them.

After I left the paper routes white privilege was working at Kentucky Fried Chicken, Burger King, York Steak House, Pizza Hut, only to be followed by a string of factory positions. This was always in the attempt to have a little spending money. Forty-five years ago we didn’t get free currency in the mail from the FEDS for not working.

White privilege was inclusive, at least for me, of learning in the school of hard knocks mostly brought on by my youthful stupidity and indiscretion. White privilege meant a whole lot of hard work — even by an adolescent’s standard.

People want to suggest that white privilege meant and means that everything is handed to you without any effort if you are white. That is not the white privilege I grew up with. White privilege for me and mine meant learning a protestant work ethic that found one working their tail off while at the same time paying the consequences for your sometimes stupid actions.

Yet in all of it, I thank God for the white privilege I grew up with and could only hope that my grandchildren might learn the lessons I learned thanks to white privilege.

US Senate Candidate J. D. Vance Properly Screams Ruddy Murder

“Joe Biden’s proposed covid mandates are not only illegal and unconstitutional, they’re morally reprehensible. While Joe Biden likes to talk about millions of American citizens as if they’re nothing more than vermin to be ruled by him and his friends, he’s revealed himself to be nothing more than a geriatric tyrant,” Vance said. “No American citizen should ever be forcibly segregated by the government over their vaccine status.”

“The Federal Government’s attempt to bully and coerce citizens into choosing between their livelihood and their own bodily autonomy must be resisted. I have a message for America’s business community: DO NOT COMPLY. Do not comply with the mandates. Do not pay the government fines. Don’t allow yourself to be bullied and controlled. Only mass civil disobedience will save us from Joe Biden’s naked authoritarianism.”

J. D. Vance
US Senate Candidate — Ohio Republican
Author — Hillbilly Elegy

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Americans lose the freedom to choose what is and is not injected into their bodies then the loss of all other freedoms is a fait accompli.

This is the same kind of moment for Americans as existed when the British sought to seized the armories in Lexington and Concord. The colonialists understood that if the British troops could disarm the colonial militia, control of the colonial population would be greatly secured. Now, the tyrants are not coming for our weapons, they are coming for our very lives. People dismiss the danger of these vaccines because “our government wouldn’t lie to us” but I’m here to tell you that these vaccines are at the very least an unknown quantity and at the very worse they are on the same level with the work of Dr. Frankenstein.

If American’s lose the ability to determine what is and is not injected into their bodies because of Federal mandates then why should Americans think that there is any other lesser decision that the FEDS won’t determine they can make for the population? Do you really think that the FEDS here wouldn’t love to have the same control of the population that the Chinese Communists have in China?

A boldface catchphrase lie that has received some currency was uttered again last night by our geriatric tyrant in chief. That was the lie that has now been repeated but never substantiated that “this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.” There is absolutely zero proof of this statement unless one counts proof as being inclusive of scientists throwing darts at numbers on little pieces of paper taped to a dartboard. To say again, in unison, and they are all saying it: this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated is simply untrue. That’s a lie.

The evidence for this lie can be found upon just a little digging. Here is only a teaser of what I found;

By April 30, the CDC reported that there were 10,262 COVID “breakthrough” cases among those who had been fully vaccinated at least two weeks earlier. They didn’t include those who had received only one shot or count those who had the second shot five or 10 days earlier.

And they knew this was “likely a substantial undercount of all SARS-CoV-2 infections among fully vaccinated persons.” But rather than try to determine the real numbers, the CDC announced that they were no longer going to count cases of the coronavirus in the vaccinated if they didn’t wind up hospitalized or dead.

How convenient.

By April 30, 160 vaccinated people had died of COVID. A few days later, the CDC updated the data to say that 535 fully vaccinated people had died of the infection. As of July 12, 5,492 patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection were hospitalized, including 1,063 who died.

If the CDC knew that more than 10,000 fully vaccinated people were COVID-positive by the end of April and that was a serious underestimate of the real numbers, and now they have stopped counting so they have no idea how many vaccinated people are infected, how can they now say that it’s the unvaccinated who are spreading disease?

These people are lying through their Mordor on the Potomac teeth. Don’t think our government lies? Can you say…

Tuskegee
Pearl Harbor
“I did not have sex with that woman; Monica Lewinsky.”
“Two weeks of wearing the mask to tamp down the curve.”
“DDT is good for you.”
“Agent Orange”

It is the nature of Governments to lie. That is what they excel at. It is their raison d’ê·tre.

I don’t care if sheep want to be led the slaughter. I’m libertarian enough to let them kill themselves if they don’t want to follows the science and heed the warnings of the not paid off medical community. That’s entirely their business. However, when these sheep, through their elected wolves, start mandating that I and mine commit suicide … well, I take exception to that.

Rise up America. Listen to J. D. Vance and begin civil disobedience now. Don’t let your geriatric tyrant and his demon den of those pulling his strings stampede you into getting needle raped.

Pactum Institute Press Release on Virginia’s Removal of Lee’s Statue

Statement regarding the Removal of the statue of General Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia – Pactum Institute

STATEMENT REGARDING THE REMOVAL OF THE STATUE OF GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA

10 September 2021

It is not only with great sadness, but with a righteous anger that the members of the Pactum Institute, not only in America, but around the world have noted the removal of the statue of of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia.

We recognize that statues erected in public spaces in remembrance of God-fearing Christian men such as General Lee cause great offense to our enemies in the same way that statues of idols and enemies of Christ cause offense to us. It is therefore evident that the removal of the statue itself is but a symptom of a much bigger dilemma: the tyranny of the godless by which they are continually suppressing the righteous children of God and our Christian heritage, because of their hatred of our King, Jesus Christ.

The sure knowledge that General Lee himself is in no way affected by this atrocity by virtue of currently enjoying the riches and glories of eternal salvation, gives us great comfort. We also take comfort in the knowledge that Christ will be victorious and conquer all his enemies, including those who are responsible for this most disgraceful act.

In the meantime, the Pactum Institute strongly suggests secession or at least increased regional and local autonomy as a means of maintaining the peace between ourselves and our enemies so that we can each develop our fundamentally incompatible cultures within our own respective communities and countries.

Rev. Michael Foster — “I think Kinism is Ignorant and Unbiblical” — Just Another Dumbass Clergy

“I even bear with people who subscribe to a certain level of kinism, though I think it’s ignorant and unbiblical.

I think this guy is probably a do-nothing loser idealist. Perhaps, you know him in real life and that’s not the case. Great. But guys like him will never like guys like me. I have no patience for dopes.”

Rev. Michael Foster
CREC Clergy

I wouldn’t expect anything associated with the CREC (or any other Reformed denomination for that matter) to speak any differently about Kinism. If this era has any watchword, our watchword would have to be picked as among,

1.) Ignorant
2.) Stupid (Calvin’s favorite word)
3.) Torpid
4.) Jejune
5.) A-historical
6.) Idiotic
7.) Moronic
8.) Inane
9.) Obtuse
10.) Imbecilic

Kinism is ignorant and unbiblical?

Yeah … I’ve often thought that Augustine was ignorant and unbiblical. Haven’t you?

Difference of race or condition or sex is indeed taken away by the unity of faith, but it remains imbedded in our mortal interactions, and in the journey of this life the apostles themselves teach that it is to be respected, and they even proposed living in accord with the racial differences between Jews and Greeks as a wholesome rule.
⁠
St. Augustine on Galatians 3:28

“Since one cannot help everyone one has to be concerned with those who by reason of place, time, or circumstances, are by some chance more tightly bound to you.”

~ Augustine

And of course, Calvin was an absolute Moron also,

“…. delightful to every one is his native soil, and it is also delightful to dwell among one’s own people.”

John Calvin
Calvin’s Commentary – Jeremiah 9:2

Machen?

“… one thing is perfectly plain—whether or not liberals are Christians, it is at any rate perfectly clear that liberalism is not Christianity. And that being the case, it is highly undesirable that liberalism and Christianity should continue to be propagated within the bounds of the same organization. A separation between the two parties in the Church is the crying need of the hour… The modern liberal doctrine is that all men everywhere, no matter what their race or creed, are brothers.”

(J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism, p.133)

I have a gazillion quotes like this from the centuries. There has been a whole 600-page anthology written with these kinds of quotes proving that Christians throughout the centuries are what we are calling today, “Kinists.” I tire easily any more with providing quotes to the indefeasibly ignorant clergy like Rev. Michael Foster who demonstrates that he doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about when he says that Kinism is unbiblical and ignorant. The obtuseness of such a statement puts all of Church history in the dock so that he can play prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner. I no longer have time for those who would prefer to trace their intellectual history to Marx, Lenin, and Engels as opposed to all the Christian fathers. Let his type live life stupid and then mercifully, for the rest of us die stupid.
