A Recommendation Retracted
March 19, 2011
EARLIER THIS week, I recommended a new website Faith and Heritage. I regret my hasty enthusiasm for a new venture. Disappointingly, Faith and Heritage is beset with the same viral tendency that afflicts many sites that defend white heritage: anti-Semitism.
In a review of the movie Social Network, the blogger “Generation 5” writes at Faith and Heritage:
Zuckerberg is a particularly pathological character, of course, but he is an extreme archetype of Jews, particularly those hailing from Eastern Europe where the hatred of Gentiles was most acidic. If the Winklevoss had inherited some of their ancestors’ old-fashioned anti-Semitism, they would have known that it’s generally a bad idea to do business with Jews. Lacking the Christian sense of fair play and good sportsmanship (that even nominal, cultural Christians like the Winklevoss still largely possess, and reinforced through athletics), nursing resentments against our culture and people, the temptation to cheat is almost impossible for them to overcome. The lesson for Christians is simple: avoid dealings with Jews, for they are too risky.
Now, some of you will be shocked by that statement. But think about it: these are highly intelligent, aggressive people who are completely unregenerate and devoid of the Holy Spirit.
Generation 5 says Christians are obligated by the exclusivity of their faith to avoid business dealings with Jews. He writes:
As a Christian, if you really believe regeneration is real and the Holy Spirit is real, I don’t see how you can not discriminate. To say within the Church, that only believers are truly capable of good works, and then to totally ignore that theological postulate outside the Church is inconsistent. It’s against the spirit of our age certainly, an age in which Christians are expected to never utter a word about the exclusivity of their faith and the absolute Kingship of Jesus Christ, but it’s not wrong.
Where in the Bible are we told that only believers in Christ are capable of good works, excluding “good works” in the ultimate sense? This Protestant blogger, who came to his philosophical insights about the Jews via the writings of Kevin MacDonald, draws the conclusion that enough Jews are like the repulsive Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, to avoid all business with them. This, he says, is a theological mandate.
