Entry: Is There Conservatism Beyond Christianity? (or how to book a mental vacation in Athens or Valhalla) Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/is_there_conservatism_beyond_christianity_or_how_to_book_a_mental_vacation#23209 Post contents: G.S., I think it's weird to see this kind of bashing of Christian-critical conservatives even after Paul Gottfried recommended Tomislav Sunic's book in these pages <a href="http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/homo_americanus/">last year</a>. Sunic, who has written an entire book on the European New Right, is also harshly critical of Christian conservatives and he points out, in the very book Gottfried recommended here, the very same problems Alain de Benoist does. Are Gottfried and Sunic "goose-steppers" too? Oswald Spengler once said that "Christianity is the grandfather of Bolshevism." Does this mean we must dismiss Spengler too? The sentimental ideas many Christians seem to evidence about Jesus do not seem to me to be all that different from children enraptured by "The Incredible Hulk" and/or other imaginary super-heroes. "The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike," as Delos B. McKown once wrote. Sent at: 2008 11 23
