Celsus

It is always good to reread the classics, especially now that we have realised that American white nationalism is irredeemable because of its Christianity and neochristianity (cf. the previous posts).

Today, for example, I was rereading some passages from The True Doctrine, a book written in the second century c.e. by Celsus, who undertook the defence of the values of Greco-Roman culture against the emerging Judeo-Christianity. Unfortunately, Constantine (312-337), Theodosius II (408-450) and Valentinian III (425-455) ordered the destruction of all anti-Christian works, and only fragments have been rescued from the quotations of the apologists and so-called Church Fathers; fragments which have come down to us.

Here are a couple of quotes from The True Doctrine that are incredibly relevant today:

Isn’t the idea of sending the Son of God to the Jews laughable? Why only to the Jews? Why to that rude, miserable, semi-dissolved nation, while other peoples were more worthy of God’s attention…?

And a few pages later:

How is it that the god of the Jews commanded them, through Moses, to seek riches and power, to multiply until they filled the earth, to massacre their enemies without even sparing the children and to exterminate the entire race…?

Celsus’ work is a staunch defence of the Aryan religion of the Mediterranean in contrast to the Semitic religion at a time when the peoples of the Roman Empire were already engaging in miscegenation.
