Marx, Moses, and the Pagans in the Secular City   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >

Various contemporary authors have proved they are able to understand to a
greater or lesser extent the crisis of the modern world, or rather the crisis of
the modern West, in their own fields and from their own perspectives, whether
sociological, anthropological, historical, legal, religious, philosophical,
political, metaphysical, or racial, but very few are able to encompass it in a
global, synthetic manner, especially since the crisis in question is becoming
more and more complicated, intricate, tentacular, teratological, and lures are
increasingly numerous, both crass and subtle. Besides an encyclopedic knowledge,
what is required to see through this in order to grasp the 'third dimension of
history' is a sound intuition guided by racial awareness. 'Marx, Moses, and the
Pagans
in the Secular City' is a remarkable complement to 'Heathen Imperialism'.

"With the [purported] conversion of the Roman Emperor Constantine to
Christianity, the period of pagan Europe began to approach its end. During the
next millennium the entire European continent came under the sway of the Gospel
— sometimes by peaceful persuasion, frequently by forceful conversion. Those who
were yesterday the persecuted of the ancient Rome became, in turn, the
persecutors of the Christian Rome. Those who were previously bemoaning their
fate at the hands of Nero, Diocletian, or Caligula did not hesitate to apply
"creative" violence against infidel pagans. Although violence was nominally
prohibited by the Christian texts, it was fully used against those who did not
fit into the category of God's "chosen children." During the reign of
Constantine, the persecution against the pagans took the proportions "in a
fashion analogous to that whereby the old faiths had formerly persecuted the
new, but in an even fiercer spirit." By the edict of A.D. 346, followed ten
years later by the edict of Milan, pagan temples and the worship of pagan
deities came to be stigmatized as magnum crimen. The death penalty was inflicted
upon all those found guilty of participating in ancient sacrifices or
worshipping pagan idols. "With Theodosius, the administration embarked upon a
systematic effort to abolish the various surviving forms of paganism through the
disestablishment, disendowment, and proscription of surviving cults."[1] The
period of the dark ages began."
