There are no universal values, only natural rights.
That is a bizarre reply to a correction of a misspelling of the author’s name.
Rather than criticize the Saudis, she should push her own government to simply cut all ties with Saudi Arabia. And let the world know why: because Canada thinks Saudi Arabia is a backwards, primitive, dysfunctional sh!t-hole, and Canada doesn't formally recognize countries that fit such a description.
I'd have far more respect for anyone in Canada who stands up and proposes such a thing.
I know, and I am a big Rush fan.
Throughout the history of Western Civilization do-gooders have weakened us.
Well-intentioned, but misguided zeal which reduces one’s strength in a competitive and hostile world is contrary to survival.
The US and the American people would do well to focus on what their real interests are after they hold counsel with these good-hearted people.
But they cannot be allowed to decide our fate.

It is possible that instead of Christianity being a cheap knock-off of some gnostic religion as the Humanists wish, it is actually true and Mani was just smarter than the pagans around him.

As I said, he latched on to a bit of the truth. The success of his concepts seem to be mostly tied to scholars trying to disprove Christianity as just another sect created by a philosopher-prophet. It is another “many rivers flow to the sea”/”many paths lead to the mountaintop” attempt at the eventual end of religion by Humanists. They do this by creating the impression that any religion as good as the rest, then they point to the ones where it is just Man and the Universe. Then they declare the others irrelevant because, deep down, man wants to be his own God.
