Out With The Old | The Causes Of Things Ep. 9 13.04.2019

In today's ever-evolving, radical, and progressive society, the old ideas, customs, laws, and practices are immediately equated as wrong while the new concepts, laws, and ideas are thought as right. This false dichotomy of old equals wrong while new equals right is at the very center of a call for civilizational change in both macro and micro societal frameworks. Haven't we seen this false compari...

Virtue Signaling: The New Evangelistic Strategy | Phil Johnson 30.01.2019
