So, this being a biology blog and all, I was going to watch the great debate between “biologist” JF Gariepy and alleged “Christian,” Vox Day. The problem being, JF Gariepy is more of an evo/psych red pillian white supremacist once accused of luring an autistic teen in a pregnancy plot, than a “biologist.”
And VD?
Well, red pill alt right cultian author of the “Irrational Atheist” who seems to enjoy being the dark lord of some evil legion of evil far more than he does actually following Jesus Christ.
Welcome to my world. Welcome to Wonderland. Whatever you do, don’t follow the white rabbit.
So I was going to watch this debate but after having gotten familiar with both of these men I soon realized that the entire debate about “evolution versus faith” was completely irrelevant on account of the fact that the only moral choice when trapped in a world populated by these two men, would be to just throw yourself out of a tower window somewhere.
So ends the debate about evolution. The life guard of the gene pool has just stuck her head in the oven, now rendering the whole point mute.
Besides the melodrama of just hurling oneself into the sweet mercy of death, I do have a greater point to make. The entire debate between evolution versus faith really becomes completely irrelevant, when you have these two broken, creepy, white supremacists trying to sell you on either idea, complete nihilism or endless abuse from a wrathful “god.” How about I choose none, as in “none of the above.”
The very nature of the question is just all wrong. The question should be, why would any woman in her right mind want to bring children into the vain imaginings of either dystopian world? It makes little difference to me whether we’ve evolved and descended from apes or we are prisoners on an alien planet forced to serve a falsely imagined wrathful and viscous God who just endlessly revels in hatred and ego games.
Someone dear recently reminded me of poet Carl Sandburg’s words, “A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.”
That’s it precisely. And no, the world that both of these guys envision and fantasize about should not go on. It’s a dark and dreary planet completely unable to sustain life. I mean, VD is so talented at misrepresenting God, I’d really just prefer to be a meaningless bit of biological goo serving no purpose. Perhaps I’ll just crawl back into the sea and sprout some fins.
The thing is, science cannot tell us why we should go on. Evolution cannot tell us why we should continue to have babies. And this ugly, dark, red pillian “Christianity” just endlessly tries to call evil good and good evil. Absent the goodness of God, absent the very definition of what “good” even is, the very “why” itself ceases to matter anyway.
Shoot, given these examples of so-called human intelligence, God Himself is probably now rooting for the ape ancestors……..
The bible never speaks of intelligence, not once. It speaks only of “fools” and “wisdom.” The “why” of our existence is actually not related to our intelligence and reason at all, but to love. God is love. We were made for love. For anyone still listening to me, we actually exist to give glory to God. We are made in His image and as such, creators ourselves. He came that we might have life and life abundant, and so that is what we try to create in the world, too. Life abundant, reflecting God’s love.
See, there's this thing called biology... 
Isn’t that what’s missing… a recognition of real love? The love the world proclaims is shallow and weak. God’s love is deeper and stronger than we comprehend. It seems everything—current movies, literature, music, is so hopeless and dystopian.

Really good point, Elihu. Movies,culture, music, literature, many of them all very hopeless, dystopian, and devoid of love. One should not be surprised. God is love, Jesus is our hope, so when try to take Him out of the picture, things begin to look very bleak and dark. That’s exactly what’s missing, a recognition of love.

As a supporter of the alt-right, I understand and have compassion for your concerns. Most thought leaders are flawed, whether they fall into narcissism or delusion, or whether they lack some faculty which would allow them to see some “bigger picture”. However, I don’t see people’s flaws as a reason to not hear them out provided they have something useful or interesting to say.
The debate was good.
The Alt-Right supports you and your goals to create the nation you want to live in, and based on the values you express I would say you have values rooted in coherent philosophy, you understand love. The evil legion of evil thing is an obvious joke, he’s a big softie behind that, but I understand why the rhetoric rubs people the wrong way. It’s a little poking at you, a little trolling. The dark lord thing has a point. Sometimes things need to be said that nobody wants to talk about though they hurt in the short term.
And sometimes people do cross the line into the malicious and unproductive.
But if the overarching point is nuanced, and the core ideas are sound, then people’s best moments outshine the bad ones.
If the entire thing is a lie, you have to fight, and fighting, even for love, isn’t always “nice”.

You summed it up.
We ask ten thousand irrelevant questions as a sideshow of our mental superiority over other clowns, while ignoring a million answers already given, answers that do not change, regardless of who sits in the audience.
I double like this short and sweet post msb. (yep, the apologizing to apes sounds familiar too)

Well said, Colorstorm. Clowns competing for mental superiority are still just clowns. Nobody really wants to live in a sideshow run by clowns. I think it comes down to truth and beauty. If there’s no beauty in your truth, then it’s probably not truth at all. No love in your doctrine, nothing but clowns with clanging gongs.

Amen. Well said. Tying our existence to our intelligence is not only foolish but boring. 🙂
