It would be a mistake to read too much into Harris’s words, but by exalting abortion as a manifestation of freedom, isn’t she close to endorsing Sartre’s bleakness and despair? A distinctive moral feature of abortion is being alone – radical alienation from both the child and her partner.

In just this past week, Kamala Harris has demonstrated even more of her intense hatred of Christianity. She and her party made a blasphemous TV ad mocking Holy Communion. She deliberately refused to go to the 60-year-old Presidential Catholic charity dinner in New York City.

Take away the history of a people or a culture or a nation, and you effectively take away the people, the culture, and the nation. We are today what has gone before in our past. Being unmoored from our own past makes us quite vulnerable.

Eminent biologist Richard Dawkins believes rising cases of mental illness are attributable to the “astonishing rate” of technological change. While Dawkins’ comments on rapidly changing technology might have some validity, his recent comments on Christianity deserve far more thought.

Auron MacIntyre examines how Western democracies are being undone not just by our political elites but by flawed notions of progress, efficiency and individualism. At the end of the day, this is really a religious war, with two radically different worldviews battling it out.

The very idea that Payman sought wisdom from Allah before voting on policy issues has surprised many Australians who rarely give a second thought to religion. The fact is that no one arrives at any issue values-free. We all have a religion – whether we believe in God or not.

If you are an older person raised in the West – as I am – you will have lived through three different periods: Christian, post-Christian, and anti-Christian. We can no longer count on institutions to back us up.

God works in mysterious ways. How He draws people to Himself can vary greatly. He uses all sorts of means in which He can reveal Himself to people and draw them into relationship with Him.

It is the conversion of Ayaan Hirsi Ali which I find to be the most intriguing. Her spiritual journey from Islam, to atheism to Christianity is extraordinary.

It may seem like Christianity is nearly doomed in America and the West. It has had a very good run, but things seem to be heading south. So is there hope for the West? Well, as long as God is in the equation – and He always is – then there is still hope.

Atheists, like everyone else, will sooner or later die. Either that, or they will renounce their misotheism and turn to God, if not to Christ. There are so many atheists and non-believers who have abandoned their hatred of God and embraced Him and His great love for them.

Xi van Fleet is one of the most important voices in America – nay, one of the most important voices in the West – today. The outspoken critic of cultural Marxism said, “2020 was when I realised, Communism is here. It’s taken root, and I have to do something.”
