And it's of course in opposite direction, famous rightwinger debatebros flee in panic before people like prof. Wolff.
This is just the old Christian argument of "If I didn't believe in God I'd be a mass murderer because there'd be no moral authority to stop me"
Anyone who uses this argument is just telling on themselves
"If I didn't believe in God I'd be a mass murderer because there'd be no moral authority to stop me"
I mean the crakkkerverse believes in god but were still mass murderers to Africans, Asians and Natives of the western hemisphere.
Two things.
One, Noah was a drunk and King David killed a man so he could date the widow. God often uses bad people to do his work. That's why they are fine with Trump's scandals.
Second, colonizing was a good thing because it brought Christianity to the Dark Continent.
Just explaining the 'thought' process. Don't shoot the messenger
They mean if they didn't believe in god, they'd be killing white people 🫨
"if god is not real sir", i said smartly, "then i have moral permission to both kill you and fuck an animals sir". the woke professor was shocked!
edit: fuck, the reviews- https://www.amazon.com/Cruel-Logic-Philosopher-Theological-Thriller-ebook/dp/B0CBXZR1MS
Cruel Logic is not for the faint of heart or those with a thin stomach lining. This is a horror/thriller novel. It is graphic in terms of violence, murder, sexual licensiousness, and profanity. HOWEVER, this content is precisely what enables this novel to expose the folly of unbelief; showing the reader a glimpse of the futility of life without the Triune God of Scripture.
For one who is watching what is going on around us today--Critical Race Theory, pervasive LGBTQ+ ideology and other sexual pervions, neo-Marxism's "long march" through the University, etc.--the graphic and explicit content is precisely what we see around us. For those who want to believe that progressive sexual ideology and BLM activism are just nice, "peaceful," wholesome expressions of human sexuality or pursuits of justice, these very features of Brian Godawa's Cruel Logic will be a needed wake-up call to the very real challange before us today. Several of the characters in Cruel Logic swear and commit heinus sexual deviations because that is par for the course in Antifa circles andsexual-revolution-praising progressive culture making headlines. A novel where protesters shout "O fiddlesticks" or where free-sex activists practice side-hugs during university "sex week" would not be painting a true picture of what is happening on campuses throughout the USA!
I begin this review this way because some one-star reviewers have critiqued this as somehow not really a Christian novel due to these graphic features. They have described it as "pornographic." Some even say it mocks Christianity and Christian belief. The type of reader who prefers to read Amish Christian romance novels or "white hat vs. black hat" style good and evil novels where the "white hat" cowboys always come away the winner will probably feel this way about Cruel Logic. But I pray that faithful Christian readers will have more discernment than these reviewers.
The real people who should be critiquing Cruel Logic are those liberals, secularists, and neo-pagans whose wordviews are exposed via the dialogues and lecture snippets of this novel. If you are pro-LGBT+, you will be infuriated to see the instability of that worldview exposed and critiqued in Cruel Logic. If you are pro-Abortion-up-to-the-point-of-birth, you will be infuriated to see that worldview exposed and critiqued. If you are pro-CRT, you will be infuriated to see that worldview exposed and critiqued.
Who should find Cruel Logic fascinating and thrilling? Several kinds of people should. Those who want more than just the rage-inducing soundbytes from the conservative media sources (even if they agree with those sources)--who actually want help defending the truth of Christianity against the progressive insanity that is everywhere today. Those who want to learn about the philosophical presuppositions of progressivism. Those who feel that they learn best from hearing stories. (It's no accident that God has chosen to reveal his truth in a Scriptural form that is highly narratival!)
Contrary to some of the claims of the one-star reviewers, this book is HIGHLY VALUABLE as a resource for learning the centrality of the self-attesting Christ of Scripture for making sense of life and giving an account for the reliability. Yes it exposes the weaknesses of pietistic Christianity which lacks depth of doctrine, lack of catechesis, and anemic exegesis and exposition. But that does not make it a book that is contrary to Christianity, Christ's church, or the infallible/inerrant Word of God. It was not an evangelistic tract, though detective Van Til does actually share the main elements of the gospel with the main character, Joseph.
This novel isn't the only way to expose the godlessness of the secuar and neo-pagan west, but it is one effective way. If you're wanting to read a clever story with plot twists, cliffhangers, and a compelling setting and plot arc, Cruel Logic is worth your time. But don't just plan to breeze through a story, plan to learn from these characters. You will be entertained, yes, but you will also be better equipped to contend for the Christian faith in a godless age.
What if we did God's Not Dead but made it about a super fucking badass serial killer???
could've thrived in the era of street sweeping vigilante exploitation films
60 year old divorcee or 16 year old tradcath incel? You decide!
Jordan Peterson is most noted for using it. It mainly describes radlib critical theory that tried to distance itself from Marx, but then had to reinvent Marx because he's obviously correct. It's like the academic equivalent of "tankie" being applied to the baby socialists who were calling MLs tankies the week prior.
Holding a 65 year old woman at gunpoint, sobbing, and demanding she admit there's only two genders and shooting her anyway.
Could You Defend Your Beliefs if Your Life Depended on it?
Charles Cullen, a brilliant university professor and ruthless killer, makes a daring escape from a hospital for the criminally insane. Dr. Joseph Kallinger, the psychologist who examined Cullen, is called in to help find him with a burnt-out cop who thinks Kallinger’s diagnosis is to blame for the situation they’re in.
On the college campus, Evangelical Christian Danny Ranes arrives for his freshman year and falls for bold and beautiful Shavonda Jackson, who introduces him to social justice and identity politics.
Danny begins a life-changing journey of deconstructing his faith and is drawn into a network of radical activism. He is forced to make a dangerous choice that may change his life forever.
Ideas Have Consequences
And then the frightening video recordings start to show up. Charles Cullen captures college professors and debates with them on screen. The proposition: his moral right to kill them. Can the psychologist and cop catch the serial killer and stop his philosophical murders or will their own inner demons break them first?
When you read this novel, it will lead you on a frightening rollercoaster of deep thought and high suspense with pulse-pounding chills into the very meaning of the existence of God.
The Theological Thriller Novel Series
Cruel Logic is the first in the Theological Thriller Novel series of riveting suspenseful novels about human nature, the problem of evil, and the existence of God.
and falls for bold and beautiful Shavonda Jackson, who introduces him to social justice and identity politics.
I’m genuinely surprised that a boomer chud described a Black woman as attractive. I’m sure the book portrays her as an eeeevil, black supremacist, castrating siren who uses her womanly wiles to put all white men in camps, but still: the portrayal is kinda different. I’m so used to white conservatives masculinizing Black women. Author still sucks, though.
The Black Jezebel is a pretty old trope. Much like the Big Black Buck it was another method of dehumanization by reducing black people to base creatures defined by their sexuality.
There has always been a simultaneous sexualization and attraction and unattractive assigned to black femmes by white supremacist culture.
I take it you've never seen 'Goldfinger.' Lesbian stunt pilot [movie]/burglar [book] Pussy Galore falls for James Bond after he 'seduces' her.
The beautiful but deadly minority woman has been a thing since the Fu Manchu books.
Oh, yeah, no doubt. But the dehumanization of Black women isn’t the same as what Asian women and other women of color go through. Like, there’s no dragon lady stereotype for us, just rage-filled jokes about Beyoncé and Michelle Obama being men.
Back in the day, Colin Powell was every GOPs dream candidate for Vice President. We always heard that he never put himself forward because his wife didn't want him to do it. After seeing eight years of Michelle Obama hate I can understand why.
Wait, why is the guy trying to capture the murderer also named after a killer.
Okay, so I read the sample and this shit is hilarious
One of the main characters is basically Jordan Peterson, a college professor who teaches a class called Western Civilization, a class which was jeopardized by the EVIL SJWS WHO HATE WESTERN CIVILIZATION and he had to fight to get it reinstated
The book uses this class as an excuse to give him a John Galt speech about the evils of collectivism, in which he drops the phrase "cultural Marxism," claims that communism killed 150 million people, claims that "western civilization" freed the world from slavery and tyranny because it changes based on free speech and criticism instead of violence, tells his students he's going to make them read 1984 and Animal Farm, and says that the college will "indoctrinate [them] to hate [their] parents, Western culture, and America"
His counterargument to the claim that the American Revolution was fought to protect the slave rights of landholders consists, in its entirety, of "Yeah, right"
Another main character is a freshman new to the college and holy shit the author takes the opportunity to get shots in at absolutely everything he has a grievance with. In the span of a single scene, he snipes at racial minorities, LGBT people, women who support abortion, pro-Palestine activists (they have a banner that calls Israel an apartheid Nazi state, which A. based and B. would get those students censured and blacklisted in any real college if recent events are any indication), people who give their pronouns, and DEI
Actual line from this section: "He hoped he could get away with abbreviating it all to just LGBTQ+ without getting attacked."
he's going to make them read 1984 and Animal Farm
The people who talk the most about these books haven't read them either, why are people like this
Also these are like highschool level texts to analyse with how heavy handed the messaging is. Really shows the big brains we're dealing with here.
thanks for taking one for the team, because i would rather rip off my toenails one by one than read the slightest bit of that nonsense
They always do this, they always try to cram every grievance into every sentence
communism killed 150 million people
Babe wake up, new victims of communism number just dropped!
There’s a lot of these poppin up on twitter ads lately. I wonder if I could throw some keywords like woke and alpha into a LLM and sell it to these dinguses
Western Civilization, the target
Hey man, I'm completely with this guy; higher education completely drags Western civilization through the dirt, therefore I propose Western civilization and the global South trade treatments. Why should the global South have the benefit of merely violent coups, genocides, mass killings, resource theft and poverty due to either resource theft and/or Western backed vicious governments while the West has to suffer unacceptable and horrific cancellations, being brutally kicked off social media, and the gut wrenching experience of criticism?
Trade treatments with the global South and then see how academics like it!
Um....literally the biggest fans of debatebros just flat out become mass shooters; they lack the debate skills of their role models (that being obfuscation, tangents and nonsequiturs) and knowing they're too stupid to have anything smart to say just murder the people they don't like.
When Al Ghazzali went after the philosophers, he came up with better book titles
as people.
