I really appreciate you start the discussion with addressing “LARP” & larping, and paganism as a romantic movement. I think this is a primary contention, and I appreciate you started off right off the bat on this topic

I attended a talk tonight on Christian revival of the sacred, went because I'm looking for a reinvigoration of Christianity with chivalric, or at least, masculine values. only one mention of the Orthodox church, which was a miss. Some big hitters there from English Christian thought. Weak sauce, very cagey. Listened to this pod on a long journey afterwards, I loved the critique of crusades. Pretty sure I have read that they were initially at least a way to direct the energy of rampaging Teutonic knights, and I'm a fuckwit. Perhaps I dreamt it. Mike is great to listen to.

Mike knows his shit, I’ve learned a lot from him. There is so much more about the crusades, we barely touched on it. Want another pod recommendation?

Read the new Arktos book, European Apostasy. It's strictly about the paganism of the European New Right. Fantastic book.

Mark Puryear of the Norroena Society would love to discuss heathen theology vs Christian theology.

I enjoy all these guys and believe they are truely devout in their faith it’s always a good convo with these guys.

Will have to disagree on the Christianity being jewish thing. Abraham wasn’t a jew, this is like saying my Grandfather is mexican because his grandson had a child with a mexican woman. And using the same logic then Abraham would also be a Moslem. European Christian’s weren’t grafted into judaism they were grafted to God. And they say Europeans are not mentioned until the NT well then who is Japheth?

I could be wrong but their arguments against Christianity seem to rely on the modern dispensationalist interpretation of Christianity and ignores the other 1800 years of what was Christendom.
