“Conversion at the end of the sword is not true conversion. What’s more, the most vocal of those who call for this kind of arrangement don’t engender confidence that they can be trusted with this power. There’s a large gap between edge-lording meme-makers and a so-called Christian prince. In a fallen world, I’ll take my chances with the American experiment.” - Daniel Darling
“America used to not celebrate Christmas at all. And now we do. What changed? And at what point did it change?” - Cranach
“The post-liberals are not wrong to point out many of the serious limits of theoretical or philosophical liberalism. Nor are they wrong that liberalism has been increasingly defined by excessive individualism, contempt for tradition and traditional wisdom…. But the post-liberals tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater.” - American Mind
“The shares of U.S. adults who identify with Christianity, with another religion, or with no religion have all remained fairly stable in the Center’s latest polling.” - Pew
“In 2022, goblin mode was the Word of the Year. It captured a cultural embrace of laziness, a retreat from discipline and ambition… In 2023, rizz emerged, reflecting performative charisma—identity as performance… In 2024, brain rot…. Then came 2025, and the language of reality collapse became even more precise. The winner, rage bait” - Breakpoint
“…our culture and our technology all work against waiting. We demand immediacy. And our technology provides it. ‘We have not quite reached instant gratification here…but we are getting close.’” - Gene Veith
“…the percentage of U.S. adults who say religion is an important part of their daily lives has fallen from 66% in 2015 to 49% today. This 17-point decline ranks among the largest declines in religiosity Gallup has recorded in any country over a 10-year period since 2007.” - CPost
“When a Silicon Valley billionaire starts hosting sold-out lectures on the antichrist, you know we’ve entered strange times. But for those of us who grew up in the 1970s, it’s not just strange; it’s strangely familiar.” - TGC
“…a return to religion in a culture is not necessarily revival. It could be just a cultural rebalancing, even if many of those are turning to true faith in Jesus Christ. In the worst case, a ‘Christian revival’ can be an emotional social contagion in the same way that transgenderism has been over the last decade—albeit a good and much less destructive one.” - P&D
“When looking at partisanship and ideology together, conservative Republicans are the group most likely to say they come across inaccurate news: 53% say this happens extremely often or often.” - Pew
