Secular Koranism - conspicuous by its absence at the Traditional Britain Conference


QUESTIONS FOR ITS DELEGATES TO ASK EACH OTHER

1.  What else would restore social conservatism to Britain?

2.  Is there a competing idea in the same league?

3.  Will anyone else be questioning the efficacy of representative democracy as a way of governing in the national interest and choosing competent and honourable leaders for Western nations?

4.  Is Christianity a functioning moral system capable of maintaining the morality of Westerners and their ruling classes?

5.  Are there divine reasons for the failure of Christianity, assuming the Abrahamic God exists?

6.  If the Abrahamic God who forbade idolatry exists, should we expect punishment and suffering if we have been practising idolatry for centuries in our Christian kingdoms and empires?

7.  Has Conservatism always been the junior partner to Liberalism?

8.  Isn't Liberalism a product of the French Revolution and isn't the French Revolution a product of the American Revolution?

9.  Is the ideology of liberalism ultimately only a wish list of Equality, Fraternity and Liberty without a coherent idea of how this Trinity is to be achieved?

10.  Was the American Revolution a rejection of monarchy and the idea of Christianity ever being the official religion of the American Republic?

11.  Is the narrative of Christianity offensive to God as well as honest and reasonable people who have grasped the concept of idolatry?

12.  Isn't idolatry the worship of anything that isn't God?

13.  Isn't the Trinity the belief that the crucified Christ is the co-equal of the supreme and eternal Abrahamic God who created the Universe who is also Allah?

14.  Isn't it the Christian narrative that Jesus was crucified for blasphemy against the God of Israel who is also Allah?

15.  Could Christians be more offensive to God and reason even if they tried?

16.  While the existence of the Abrahamic God cannot be falsified since even apparently  undeserved human suffering such as Job's could be said to be part of a Divine Plan, isn't it the case that the Trinity is both morally and intellectually indefensible? (The Trinity is morally indefensible because it is idolatry and intellectually indefensible because it asserts that a man convicted of and crucified for blasphemy is the co-equal of the deity He was convicted of having blasphemed against.)

17.  Isn't it clear by now that Christianity was only ever used to support the divine right of absolute monarchs who operated under the doctrine of cuius regio, eius religio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuius_regio,_eius_religio - which meant subjects of absolute monarchs enjoyed no freedom of belief and had to follow the religion of their monarch,  and this was the case for all subjects of European monarchs?

18.  If monarchy is finally acknowledged to be obsolete as an institution, then so must Christianity be also obsolete, since there would be no need for a defunct and idolatrous religion to support a defunct and obsolete institution, would there?

19.  Judaism has always been ambivalent about kings and in any case only enjoyed one king of renown acknowledged as such by both Jews and gentiles - King Solomon. Christianity has failed to prevent the decline and fall of Rome or the regicide of Charles I, Louis XVI and Nicholas II. The nominally Christian kingdoms of Europe in Britain cannot claim that confirmed Christians are the majority in the country and even if this were so, it is to be doubted whether these confirmed Christians are capable of citing any Christian principles being supported by their government. This inability is conclusive evidence of the failure of Christianity as a moral system, is it not?

20.  If Christianity has indeed been extinguished by liberalism, then the West no longer has a reliable source of social conservatism, does it? If liberalism in the 21st century means nothing more than sexual liberation from the rules of marriage and good parenting, then Western malaise and degeneracy will continue to worsen, curable only by the defeat of liberalism which has gradually replaced Christianity over the past 250 years. 

21.  The First Amendment to the United States Constitution (1791) and the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Religious Freedom (1965) are two of the most important documents setting the stage for the end of Christendom, are they not?

22.  If Western men are now too intellectually dishonest or emotionally vulnerable to face the facts or discuss them rationally, then this yet another nail in the coffin of Western civilisation, is it not?

23.  If there are only five world religions and Christianity is acknowledged to be past its sell-by date, what other religion would be a fitting replacement, bearing in mind that Judaism is for Jews only while Hinduism and Buddhism is even more alien to the West than Islam?

Are Jews more honest about their mistakes of history than gentiles because they still don't know why God made them His Chosen People?
