If it walks like Jewish Bolshevism and it talks like Jewish Bolshevism, then it's probably Jewish Bolshevism.

It's not that Christianity is the problem, Secular Judaism is what she wants to use to create an authoritarian society.

It’s an acknowledgment by Christians that the Imago Dei and the Jewish faith is the foundation on which Christianity was the fulfillment. The matter of the Jewish faith (separate from atheistic Jewish culture) failing to acknowledge Christ’s divinity, and yet quietly adopting much of the Christian philosophy, is a separate question.

I feel like I should not have to write this, but having conservative religions joined at the hip with an authoritarian single-party state can only end badly. There are two awful examples literally in the headlines today.


just because a specific term isn't formulated until X date does not mean its underlying concepts are untrue or are novel.

You run into difficulty trying too hard to 1) tie Bolshevism exclusively to Jewish atheists, and 2) Summarizing modern neo-Marxism (cultural marxism) as simply Bolshevism

An acknowledgment so important that again, the concept wasn’t really used before the early 20th century, huh?

Moreover, your second sentence seems to be in direct conflict with your first sentence.

Other than the fact that Jesus and the first handful of Christians were Jews, there’s very little that’s Jewish about the Christianity that birthed western civilization.

What are its underlying concepts? It’s interesting that such an important concept wasn’t identified for almost 2000 years.

They have to portray Christianity this way. Because it’s exactly what their religion (communism) is.

Yes yes. It's not wokeness that is evil. It's christianity. Christianity is a root of authoritarianism.


Do you think that Christianity can't be weaponized for evil?

This article is propaganda to ostracize Christianity as the source of the insurrection and overturning elections.

Even if they have succeeded in finding a way to freeze elector counting while voting was investigated, that’s a long long ways from a theocracy. There is zero evidence the the church wants to take over the government.

Fear mongering bullshite.

If I had to live under a Christian Theocracy or Biden as asshat-in-chief, I know which one I'd choose.

Do you not realize that secularism and anti-Christian dogma already HAS been weaponized?

It’s not an interesting article.

I stopped at the premise.

Right back at you. Your first sentence contradicts your last.

The Jewish faith of Christ and his followers was not merely coincidental. Christianity is a fulfillment of the foundation of Jewish faith. The insular nature of the Jews, post-Christianity, and their seeming rejection of the understanding that they as the chosen people were supposed to be a light to all nations, for all of God’s people. Instead they turn inward, for reasons not least of which was their persecution.

I actually do agree with that to an extent

Neither secularism nor Christianity is inherently problematic but both can be used as a tool for evil

Sounds like you should convert to Jews for Jesus.

Your interpretation pretty much contradicts 2000 years of Christianity in Western Civilization.
