I was worried about you, there, but it turns out that you had taken a trip to the Vaterland.
Here is an interesting short from woke atheist, Rebecca Watson.
‘When I lost belief in God, I didn’t loose belief in anything else.’
I.e. the Christian axiology.
She says, further, that as soon as she lost belief in God she immediately became a humanist. As Revilo P. Oliver points out: humanism is merely atheistic Christianity.
When someone believes in the Christian god, their equalitarianism is anchored to the mores of the 1st-century C.E. Their equalitarianism is tethered to the conservative Jewish culture that gave us Saul and Jesus. However, when one stops believing in the Judeo-Christian god, “but not anything else”, then this equalitarianism remains and goes hyper. It is no longer tethered to the Conservative Jewish society that spawned Saul and Jesus. It thus goes hyper. Your “red-giant” analogy is brilliant. Woke atheism is merely a godless Christianity that has lost its supernatural core. In the same way that a red giant goes hyper, so does Neo-Christianty. The equalitarianism of Christianity slips away from its 1st-century Jewish moorings, and becomes a monster, or red giant, or red ogre, perhaps!
Sincerely,
Gaedhal

An ‘ogre of the super-ego’, Gaedhal! But the analogy with the Red Giant wasn’t my idea, but that of a Swede named Eric, whose seminal text for this site’s POV I linked above in your words ‘red-giant.’
Herr Ceasar, I must say that reading your blog I have learned a great deal. No matter if one is Christian, Satanist or Atheist. If a person is Woke…: It’s All The Same Under A Diferent Veil. I say this due to personal experience. I used to know a Satanist who would like to blaspheme everything Christian but when it came to the Jews he would show the utmost respect. Enough said.
