As It Is In Heaven: Part III, Revival


Avoiding destruction

I’m not going to bother convincing you we’re headed for destruction if our course does not change, this you already know.

We have reviewed the religious history of the West over the last 2000 years in the last two weeks, which I hope you’d agree is clearly associated with our decline. The secularization of the West and the decline of the West have happened at the same time and the same rate.

So what are we to do?

The Constantine Option

I’ve recently changed the name of this newsletter, and of my efforts more generally, to The Constantine Option. This name describes in 3 words our whole purpose: To Christianize all social institutions from the state downwards. This has been the model of all Christian nations, and indeed all nations that have had a clear direction at all.

It will be said that we would force people to be Christian. This is not true.

It will be said that we would persecute non-Christians. This is not true.

It will be said that we would go back to the “dark ages.” This is not true.

We will simply define clearly the guiding light of our civilization: Christ. Our enemies see no purpose for religion to influence social institutions, but this is only because their own religion cleverly avoids labeling itself as one.

Secularism as a religion

Isn’t it obvious that our enemies are deeply religious? They don’t stand to personally profit from their philosophy, historically they will be crushed by it. They burn with fervor for their beliefs, far beyond what is ordinary for a political movement. Even people involved enough to care about tax law, or school curriculum, do not have such a passion for it as these. Why?

This perplexes the right, because we believe we’re looking at a political movement. It is not. These people are evangelists for their own wicked religion, and understanding them this way makes perfect sense of all their otherwise strange behavior.

Call, or fold?

You will be governed by a religion, as every nation indisputably was from the beginning of history until 300 years ago, and every nation since then as well (correctly understood). You have a very simple choice to make, then, Christian: Which religion will you have govern you?

The choice is clear. I realize we have a long way to go, frankly I don’t imagine any of us will ever see a Christian nation the likes of which our grandparents were born into. We can give one to our grandchildren, though, and if that doesn’t motivate you then unsubscribe and sit on the sidelines. My brothers and I have work to do.

The unregulated feminine response to perceived threat We love women, don't we boys? The feminine nature is a wonderful thing. Men especially understand this, because woman was made for man. Did you feel that? Most people would feel it, in their throat and maybe their gut, when they read “woman was made for man.” This has become anathema to our social order, because our social order is diseased, and it has been on full display this week. If you were on any social media platform, or know anyone...

Current consensus from 270towin.com T–24 Hours This is not a news publication, or even a political one. It's much broader than that. Nevertheless, the next 24 hours will drastically change our ability to see our mission through, for better or worse. Therefore, on Election Eve, it would be remiss to discuss anything else. Let's be clear about what this election means. It means either our defeat, or more time on the clock. That's it. The margin of victory is already thin, and it will be beyond...

Finally: The Overton Window shifts right Before we jump in, you may notice that today's email looks a little different, and is later than normal. That's because I'm using a new platform for this newsletter, which will enable me to serve you all better in the days to come. You can still reply to any email with your own thoughts, I read every reply. The Overton Window If you're not familiar with the term, the Overton window is "the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream...
