The left behind at the Boar's Head Tavern
Absolutely brain dead. The detritus left at the iMonk's old forum that is.
This will not help (it never does), but I'll try:
"Social justice." No, you're right, we regenerate Christians don't like the phrase. Not because we want to divide society into hierarchical levels with you being at the sudra level, but because when a fallen human being says 'social justice' they mean 'government tyranny.' You know, left-wing, centralized, big, messianic, tyrannical government; fallen man's most favorite idol.
"Liberals take care of the poor." This was stated over there. Liberals put the poor into dead end projects and other types of ghettos, killing their souls by getting them on the dole, then liberals give *nothing* to charity because they justify that government is taking care of it. Meanwhile conservative Christians and political conservatives provide all the charity to the organizations picking up for all the government-created poverty and dead-end social chaos.
“But what is the use of preaching the Gospel to men whose whole attention is concentrated upon a mad, desperate struggle to keep themselves alive?” – William Booth
The above was put at the top of their forum. I don't know the context of this wickedly dumb statement, but I'll just take it as it is. Ah, those noble savages and their Protestant work ethic ways... Enough said. OK, I'll say one thing more: it is the 10% of people in any rough and tumble economy that starts all the businesses and invents everything and discovers everything and builds and creates and fixes everything, and they have the energy to do it. The rest of the people fall into place into the companies and overall economy the 10% of hyper movers and shakers create for them. This is why the wicked left always tries to - through government control - *destroy* such types. I.e. the wicked left can't enslave whole populations when those 10% of active people are free to do their thing.
Oh, and by the way, the quote above by William Booth is basically saying: Why talk about something as blasphemous to our worldly beliefs and man-fearing ways as the Gospel when the glory of our holy selves and world is calling us and needing all our time?
What else did I glance at over there at the iMonk's old forum...?
"The internet and me have departed ways at my house. Two children under 20 months deserve more of my time." Ah, the iMonk's daughter's statement on her blog that she never read her father's website because she resented its existence because all she remembers about it growing up was wondering why her father spent all his time in front of his computer screen instead of with her. Well, we can't talk about his daughter saying *that*, the iMonk being a saint now and everything...

"The internet and me have departed ways at my house. Two children under 20 months deserve more of my time."
Do you have a link for this? I'd love to read the rest of it, but when I search on either of these sentences Google only points me to your post.
He didn't elaborate past those two sentences, but here is the link:

And here's the link to the forum in general:
