The War on the West

Today there’s so much talk about white supremacy and so forth. It’s popular, in fact, I heard protesters on an American university chant in unison, “Hey hey, hey ho, Western Civ has got to go!” But what these who are against “the West” don’t realize is, every good thing about Western Civilization (and there are many bad aspects to our history too), has nothing to do with white supremacy or race at all. It has to do with ideas, ideologies, philosophy of life, systems of thought. And predominantly, these systems of thought originated in Western Europe from biblical teaching! They’re not specific to any race – they’re universal truths that “work” to bring blessing, prosperity, freedom, a better life! In this podcast, two brilliant men I highly respect in terms of their intellects and eloquence, discuss the War on the West in a way that is quite clear and very helpful. The most interesting thing of all, to me, is that, though neither is a Christian to this point (to my knowledge), both recognize the influence of biblical thought, biblical truth, upon all that is good in our society. Check it out yourself. They make the point constantly, that all that’s good comes from the Judeo-Christian background of the West, just as apologist Frank Turek does in his book, Stealing from God.
