A Red Giant, to oversimplify, is a star that has lost its core, and this causes it to go hyper, such that it destroys planets astronomic units away.
The supernatural core of Christianity keeps it tethered to the social mores of the first century. Jesus and Saul are terminuses beyond which the inherent subversiveness of orthodox Christianity cannot go beyond.
However, when a Christian becomes a humanist, then he/she has slipped from orthodox Christianity’s moorings. The newly deconverted “humanist” now finds himself/herself on an open sea of utter craziness. It is like that clip of Rebecca Watson, where she says that whenever she deconverted from Christianity, she ipso facto became a humanist. It is almost as though “secular humanism” is just an aggressive form of Christless/Godless Christianity. “Secular humanism” is what is left when the myths and miracles have evaporated.
“Secular humanism” is like an axiological residue of Christianity.
When Christianity loses its supernatural core it goes hyper, and destroys habitats such as Rhodesia and South Africa, in the same way that the sun will destroy our earth, one astronomic unit away from it, when it goes hyper, in about 4 billion years. This is why I call it “atheistic hyper-christianity”. You [the editor of this site] call it neo-Christianity.
I constantly see Leftist atheists trying to shame Christian Nationalists into being more Christlike, i.e. into adopting the suicidal teachings of thr sermon on the Mount. As Ragnar Redbeard put it: the preachifier of the Sermon on the Mount is “the true crown prince of evil”. Ayn Rand also says that an enemy who destroys one is less evil than an enemy who convinces his victim to destroy himself. Jesus is the personage who persuaded the formerly white West to destroy itself, with suicidal teachings such as turn the other cheek; resist not evil; and welcome the xenos/stranger/foreigner.
