We need to talk about the elephant in the room.
2 billion.
That’s how many Christians are in the world right now.
Christianity is not a philosophy or even a religion. It’s a human essence and disposition. It’s a modus operandi. It’s how they go about their lives, how they talk, and how they relate. Trying to regulate or contain the Christian nature, is as preposterous as it is dishonest. Which leaves us with a burning question.
What are we going to do about it?
How are we going to live with those 2 billions of humans? I ask this question because most moderners are deeply averse to the idea of Christianity.
This is not atheism.
Most Westerners are happy to embrace any and all religions — Buddhism, Hinduism, paganism, mother Earth, Universe, Source, etc — except Christianity. So, let’s not mince our words here. What we are dealing with is a surging anti-Christian sentiment (Christianophobia).
The reasons are two-fold:
Conscious reasons: A shopping list of evil things Christians did in the past (holy inquisition, religious wars, crusades, stake burning) and are doing today (Church corruption, scandals, intolerance, proselytism).
Subconscious reasons: Most of the visceral hatred against the optics of Christianity, however, comes from much deeper emotions and impulses that cannot be explained by logic.
Let’s take a quick look.
“Christians did bad things”
Have Christian nations engaged in violence? According to history, the answer is a resounding yes. Many bad things happened under the name of Christianity, but most of those took place after 1054 AD.
You see, Christianity was born in Judea. The Word of God was written in Hebrew and Greek. Everything about Christianity is of the East.
And what happened in 1054 AD?
That’s when the Great Schism firewalled West from East, culturally, religiously and militarily, once and for all. Why did it happen? Because the West and the East hold different views about God. Those differences are so far reaching — socially, spiritually, and economically — that the West and the East could not share the same faith. So deep is that chasm, in fact, that those factions are still at war (NATO vs. Russia). But let’s recap:
East gives birth to Christianity.
West disagrees with East about what Christianity is.
West and East break up.
West does bad things using “Christianity” as a banner.
Verdict: Christianity is bad.
Go figure, right?
But let’s be realistic. Are some Church figures impure and corrupt? Of course they are. Has freemasonry infiltrated Christian institutions and hierarchies around the world? Yes they have. But let me ask you this: Are some humans corrupt? If yes, does this mean we should reject all humans?
Now, let’s go a bit deeper.
The inception of distate
If you’ve worked in advertising you probably know that adverts work on feelings, not logic. After watching a few ads we quickly forget them, but our subconscious never forgets. It remembers exactly how those adverts made us feel. And that’s all that matters, because as long as our subconscious associates Coca Cola with excitement and instant bliss, we will act accordingly at the supermarket aisle.
Now, what about the opposite?
What if someone wanted to instill an aversion to a certain product or idea? All they’d need is an anti-advert whose job is to associate bad feelings with that idea. And that’s what’s been happening since the beginning of mass media. That’s the unspoken purpose of Hollywood, Netflix, and the music industry. You won’t notice it though. You won’t remember it. Inception happens quietly, slowly, and imperceptibly, one movie, one episode, and one song at a time. For example:
In the hospital scene in Kill Bill, a male nurse takes advantage of the female protagonist’s comatose state. The bad guy wears a cross (subconscious association: disgust).
Godfather: Sonny Corleone is seen wearing a cross. Later, he suffers a violent death (subsconscious association: fear)
Top Gun: Maverick’s wing-man is seen wearing a cross. Later he dies (subconscious association: fear).
Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning: the key of the rogue AI that threatens to destroy the world is shaped like a cross (subconscious association: disgust).
In Gattaca, the hero overcomes all limitations and flies to space. But if you freeze frame at that decisive moment, you will see a cross symbol replaced by the symbol of infinity. Why infinity? More on that later (subconscious association: repulsion).
In The Martian, the hero chops and burns a wooden cross because it’s the only flammable material he could find on Mars (subconscious association: repulsion).
In Poseidon, one of the heroes wears a cross. She promptly dies (subconscious association: fear).
The examples are practically endless. All you’d need to do is freeze frame at the right moment. The audiences don’t notice anything, but their subconscious very much does. Last year, I wrote:
The subconscious mind associates symbols with emotions. Ask anyone who’s spent a day in advertising; or dog training.
This non-stop brainwashing in movies, songs, video clips, and all other mass media, is why Westerners are so averse to the optics of Christianity: the cross, the Church, the priests, and so on. Oh, and did you notice how this year’s Eurovision desecrated those symbols? Of course, you didn’t. But, again, your subconscious did.
Even if you call yourself an atheist it should give you pause that the mass media apparatus goes into such trouble to make you hate Christianity. This is the same mass media that couldn’t stop telling you to go get vaksed a couple of years ago. I mean, think about it: those who hate you, want you to hate Jesus Christ.
So that’s where we are.
Robbed of our connection to our Creator, we are faced with a profound gap that we desperately try to fill. Enter Hollywood, MTV, feminism, activism, scientism, New Age, and all the other idols of the modern era.
So long as man remains free, he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship.
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky
We replaced Sunday worship at our local Church, with Sun worship at our local yoga studio. We replaced confession with psychotherapy. We replaced religious fasting with pharmaceuticals. All those idols confer instant relief to our deep spiritual void, but the more we invest in them the more unsatisfied and addicted we become to their false promise: music, Hollywood, New Age — every idol looks different, but they all point to exactly the same thing.
Self-love, self-confidence, authentic self, self affirmations (“I’m successful”, “Money comes to me all the time”, “I’m beautiful”, “I’m worthy”). That’s all we hear about: “my story”, “my self worth”, “my presence”. Self-aggrandizing, all day, every day.
How, then, can we expect Westerners to accept Christianity?
Christianity rejects the self.
It fights self-love and self-absorption. Christianity removes all focus from the “me” and directs all attention to our Creator. We do not rebel but we obey the will of God as it is written in His Word and experienced in His Church.
But, once again, modernity tells you otherwise:
New Age tells young women they are “goddesses”
The iPhone gives young men “superpowers”
Popular science books tells students they are “unstoppable”
Psychologists tell us we are “limitless”
Facebook’s (Meta) logo is the “infinity” symbol.
Last year, I wrote:
If all you have is your “infinite” and “unstoppable” life then everything around you becomes a threat. Anything that might harm your one and precious life could take everything from you. Everything. How profoundly scary is that?
Next thing you know, your fellow humans slither like worms, wearing face diapers and tracing arrows on supermarket floors, to scan their iPhones and ferry microwave meals back to the safety of their Netflix pod.
Small aside: have you heard of the book called “How to Win Friends and Influence People”? Hollywood certainly has. This century-old self-help classic inaugurated the modern influencer ethos. It shows you how to trick people, pull psychological tricks and get them to like and serve you — all whilst thinking you are doing the right think. Example techniques:
Arouse in the other person an eager want
A person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound
Get the other person saying “yes, yes” immediately
Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers
Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest
Again, Christianity is the exact opposite.
It’s the opposite of popularity and diplomacy. It’s the opposite of selling techniques and marketing funnels. The focus is not on impressing “followers” and accumulating “friends” (and customers) but on serving and pleasing Jesus Christ. His opinion is the only one that matters.
And that, right there, is why Christianity is incompatible with this world. It’s why it has always been hated by those who are worldly. It’s why Jesus Christ was crucified and it’s why honest Christians will once again be persecuted in the not-too-distant future.
You see, the architects of “our democracy” are working hard to enforce a global religion for its “global citizens”.
What religion is that? Well, look around you. Isn’t it funny how your atheist friends are happy to “ask the universe” or prepare for “Mercury retrograde”, or wear “Ganesha” shirts, or send “good vibes”?
This global religion has its very own religious calendar. For example:
Interfaith Harmony Week – 1 to 7th of February
Valentine’s Day – February 14th
Mother’s Earth Day – April 22nd
No Smoking Day – May 31st
Pride Month – all June
International Day of Solstice – June 21st
Halloween – October 31st
World AIDS day – December 1st .
And hundreds more. There’s even an international Jazz day, for crying out loud.
Well, guess what’s not mentioned in this shopping list of festivals. You guessed it.
Did you ever see the Google.com homepage celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Thought so.
Why?
Because the greatest anathema of this global religion is Jesus Christ.
I thought I was an “atheist” all my life.
When C0vid stormed the world, however, I was surprised out of my stupor. How could something like this happen? But, most importantly, why did it happen?
Nothing I read, listened, studied, or watched could explain the “why” of recent world events or equip me for what we all experienced since 2020. Nothing.
After reading, studying, and consuming everything else — after spending years falling into every possible rabbit hole — eventually, I bought a Bible and read a few chapters from Genesis. Then I read a bit more. In time, I was intrigued enough to visit my local Church. A few weeks later is when the penny dropped. That’s when world events started to finally make sense.
One of the first effects I experienced was a reduced tolerance for the trivial and superficial. I closed down Twitter, my last social media account. A few months later I stopped following world events and stayed as far away from the internet as I possibly can. Everything seemed like a waste of time compared to the Word of God and His Church.
Plastic counterfeits
Babies start crying when they are away from their mother’s breast. Then, in 1935 came those rubber pacifiers that fool babies into thinking they are plugged into their mother.
So, there is no such thing as atheism. The question is, what are we plugged into? Are we plugged into our Creator or are we plugged into a fake, plastic faith receptacle?
Over the last century, Westerners chose to unplug from their Creator. They fell for a multitude of mass media fairy tales and cheap counterfeits of God. That profound theft created existential confusion and panic, the optics of which are evident in the world around us. And because the nature of those effects is exponential, we can now compare — we can compare the now against twenty or forty years ago.
The results of our so called “progress” are clear as day.
It behooves us to open our eyes to this spiritual damage we are inflicting on ourselves, do a 180 turn, restore our connection to our Creator, and dispose of all our fake pacifiers.
If you are curious about all this, why don’t you verify things for yourself? Pick up a Bible and flick through it. And, maybe, just maybe, visit your local Church.

This is a very interesting article that you've written. I will be rereading it a few times. If you don't mind me asking, are you an Orthodox Christian, Catholic, or Protestant? I was raised in a Protestant denomination (Pentecostal), and it turned me off immensely because of the blatant hypocrisy I experienced within the church.
I didn't know about the differences between Orthodoxy and Catholics until reviewing just now, and though my knowledge is incomplete, I do find myself agreeing with the Orthodox views significantly more than the Catholics.
I may not be Christian at this point in my life, but I do still own my childhood Bible. There is a lot of wisdom in that book.
If you don't mind me asking, do you consider other religions to be illegitimate despite there being faiths that precede Christianity and all its forms by thousands of years?
Thank you for your time if you do respond to my inquiries!
I don't understand how you can be so awake to the scamdemic, yet tell people to go sit in churches. I personally had to rip scamdemic propaganda from the walls of several churches, and even replace it with real information (quickly torn down of course). Churches are another head of the beast system, totally compromised now. God yes, Christ yes, and even churches as a place to sit in quiet contemplation. But as an institution, its purpose is to actively prevent people connecting to God.
