Why the West is Losing the Culture War

The host of the “Zero Hour” YouTube channel, James Poulos, wrote a book entitled Human Forever.  It is available for purchase with Bitcoin only.  My pastor is a Bitcoin guy.  He purchased the book and let me borrow it late last year.  I enjoyed reading it.

In the one hour video interview above Poulos interviews another podcaster I appreciate, Jonathan Pageau.  The Icon painter is Eastern Orthodox and lives in Canada.

Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic expressions of Christianity enjoy a refined sense of hierarchy compared to Protestantism.  There’s an unnatural and radically egalitarian flatness to everything Protestantism infuses.  This distraction from reality and truth perverts respect for the moral law and practical reason into moralism and religiosity.

The men explore the influence of the internet on our everyday lives.  I’m sure that I’m not alone in allowing the internet to focus my attention on matters that I have no influence over.  I’ve done this to the detriment of matters close to home.

As you ponder the identity crisis all of us are now living through you will find this dialogue helpful.

Amen.
