1. What do you find so objectionable about the “Theology of The Cross”?

   I think it’s Christianity’s most redeeming aspect. The Bible can be “a lie,” the Gospel accounts can differ irreconcilably, the OT naked “Jewish Supremicism,”rational thought can kick the stuffing out of the entire concept of Christanity, and yet faith in the salvific sacrifice of Christ can still remain attractive, and with an admission that it rests on pure faith (and not Thomistic Catholic “reasoning”) it could be even more attractive. And for you, I should think such a version of it readily reconcilable with an Aryan folk faith — not that it’s needed in that case, but it would be pragmatic during a transition phase. Humans *need* something like this, especially if they are to ever get their heads around the depressing implications of human biology. Don’t be such a hard ass, throw us a few crumbs.

2. No, you’re weak and I won’t throw you or other theists any crumbs.

   I despise the Theology of the Cross because I morally object to the vicarious sacrifice of an innocent for “our sins.” What does it say about God that He stood there and watched as His only begotten Son was undergoing the most horrific tortures and death without lifting a finger? At any rate, I never asked for such a favour to begin with…were I consulted in advance by God, I would’ve said “no”, I certainly wouldn’t want to be part of any such weird and macabre circus.

   But to quote Stendhal: “The only excuse for god is that he doesn’t exist.”

3. Fred, I come from an atheist background. I’m not a “theist” in the normal sense of the word. I’m a “spirtualist”, I guess — I haven’t actually thought much about labels. I don’t have any problem with atheists or their ridicule, and I enthusiastically support new-wave atheists in their assault on (tradiational conceptions of) God. But is it really being “weak” to seek to put your earthly existence into an uplifting context conducive to happiness, fulfillment and meaning (one concordant with observable facts of reality)?

   Isn’t that what you (and other intellectual racialists) do? Look at you. By your own admission you’re a disgusted misanthrope, and yet you so need to provide a meaning for your life that you’ve seized on race with a gusto that makes one shudder to think what you’d do in the name of it. Is this really mental fortitude? Or is it something else?
