Stop, but I thought WE were overpopulating the world! It's gonna fill up!
I had to check your link to make sure this was in the original article.
C'mon. There's got to be some good Christians from France or Germany. I may have to go back a few centuries, but Martin Luther comes to mind.
Europe is literally dying off, and the population rendered sterile by socialist ideology. The profound psychological illness of liberalism will kill more people ultimately than the Black Plague. The empty streets of Western Europe are being repopulated by North African muslims.
"Have the Europeans taken to heart existentialism's complaint that man is alone in a chaotic universe in which life has no ultimate meaning, and that man responds to the anxiety about death by embracing death?"
Soren Kirkagaard strikes again...
Oh, the fear and trembling! The sickness unto death!
Personally, I think there's a difference between self-preservation and self-absorbtion, but Euroweenies don't: their heads are so far up their butts, they have to cough to see sunlight.
In the next 50 years, Europe's population will relive - in slow motion - that plague demography, losing about a fifth of its population by 2050 and more as the decades roll on." Pretty static thinking. Would someone in 1950 have suspected that our increasing affluence would result in us having smaller families? That certainly wasn't the paradigm back in FDR's day...
This guy knows nothing about the 30 years war except modernist revisionism and very little about Christianity.

I can agree with the first points, but after that the article kind of goes haywire.

It's actually rather interesting the author focuses so much on Jews. In the US, Jews --like Eurotrash -- are massively depopulating themselves through low birthrates and intermarriage. In Israel, however, Jews reproduce at a very high rate (albeit not as high as the Arabs).
This is a no brainer. Nihilism, secularization and a general replacement of the family by the nanny state has caused the drop off in birthrates in Europe. The corrective action is to replace nihilism with real belief systems, replace secularization with Judeo-Christian spirituality and the nanny state with the family. The solution is simple, but there is no will to do it. Therefore, the suicidal tendency continues. Of course, a miracle is still possible if not even probable.
The Muslim hordes will shatter these illusions of peace and tranquility in short order.
What really happened to Europe was that a nationalist Darwinism failed with the Nazis and all they were left with was new left self-hatred and malthusianist environmentalism which led them to believe that reproducing was a sin.
Thanks for posting this article. It is like watching a future episode of Eugene Weber's excellent 52 part series on the history of western civilization.
St. Peters converted to a mosque? The priceless images of the Sistine chapel defaced and painted over? Every church, and cathedral plundered and destroyed? The treasure vaults of the Vatican plundered and destroyed? Every priest, deacon, bishop and cardnial put to death? The Pope executed, possibly beheaded publicly?
Yeah, it'll be disasterous. I'm sure that some are thinking, "That's Catholicism, not Christianity." Yet how many of the offshoots of Catholicism identify themselves solely by their Opposition to the church in Rome. Without the church, what function will they serve?
And this only scratches the surface of it. Islam's been champing at the bit to kill Rome for 1500 years and now they're going to get their chance. You thought there were celebrations when 911 happened. Just wait til Rome falls and their ancient enemy is dead and conquered. THAT will be cause to celebrate.
There are other thoughts that I don't dare utter, even to myself. But these should do for now.
Godspeed
Intresting post. Thanks
As for original sin, otherwise known as man's fallen nature,this is one of the few theological concepts empirically demonstrated by human history.
I got a feeling that writer of the article does not like French and Germans.
No they won't. All infidel art will be burned when sharia law is established.
