If you haven't heard, Canon just released a new book from Douglas Wilson called Refuting the New Atheists.

0:15.0

The so-called New Atheists have a great deal of moral indignation at all the evil in the world.

0:21.0

But as a apologist and theologian Douglas Wilson cheerfully points out, they have no moral basis for it whatsoever.

0:28.0

This book is a collection of all three Douglas Wilson's responses to the New Atheists such as Letter from a Christian citizen written to Sam Harris,

The Revolves of the Normals Part 1. Monday, June 14, 2021.

1:02.0

Introduction. I've been asked quite a few times how long I think that our current cultural woke spasm can continue.

2:20.0

Why does this naming matter?

2:22.0

Back in the old days when some lunatic economic proposal was presented to a bewildered public by some liberal official, the person making the proposal observed all the decencies, and the people surrounding him would observe most of the decencies.

2:37.0

And that is what normals would look at and be reassured.

2:41.0

So in political debate, just a few years ago, whenever a conservative referred to Gramsky, or to Critical Theory, or to Cultural Marxism, the leftist in the debate could just backhand him and tell him to educate himself, or to do his homework, or to read a book, Boso.
