Do you have any idea why the men are becoming more conservative and the women are coming more progressive? It's very simple. #1 feminism and the gynocentric viewpoint is very progressive. Versus the more what you might call manosphere talking points the the basic biology of men is usually more traditional. Now you'll see men go on the progressive side, usually because they're trying to earn brownie points from women. 

And. 

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep Get Sheared podcast. I'm your host, Austin, Creed. My friends, we're going to discuss the bridge between relationships and on the relationship between religion. In politics, and you might say, well, Austin, what does this have to do with relationships and romance and all of these things? Well, they definitely tie in, and we'll get into that in a second. But more than anything, when I really want to. Us is why I come down and on this show in this Community, we really don't like the idealism that's pushed in the church. The reason why is not because the ideas themselves are bad or lacking or anything else per say. The problem is when you look at religious texts, whether it be the Torah. Whether it be the commandments in the Torah, it could. The the any myasthenic religions, whether it's you can look at the code of the what the Buddha says, you can look at Hinduism. You can look at Islam, Christianity and Judaism all from which stem from the Old Testament of the Jewish Bible. All of these things have codes of conduct that are unavoidable. In the realm of politics, they're supposed to go hand in hand. You didn't know that every religion has a code of conduct that you're supposed to follow to basically show that you are living in accordance with this religion and to reinforce this fact, let's go to the list of quotes that I have pulled up, or the show today. Let's look at some examples of quotes written that have been given to us by wise men, or maybe even just politicians who are smart. Let's look at #1 here, number one. So I'm not the biggest fan of Reagan. I'm not one of these people that says Ohh dude Reagan was great. Reagan was God. I'm not that kind of person because let's be honest. Those of us who know what Ronald Reagan did, Ronald Reagan, in case you didn't know. It was him who gave us no fault divorce in California in 1969. He was the first one to sign it into law in California, which then became the model for every state after that, which all 50 states have given rise to some level of no fault divorce. But let's read what he says. He says the politics and morality. Are inseparable. I agree with them on that. And as Morality's Foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect and our government needs the church because only those humble enough to admit they are sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order. To survive. OK, that's not too bad. I would genuinely agree with that. Let's look at Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the guys. I actually really like Napoleon Bonapart. I know a lot of people don't like him. He's not very politically correct, but he, in his own words, took the Crown of France out of the gutter and put it on his own head. After the French Revolution was over. Let's look at what? He. Said religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people. Quiet. Oh. Oh, man. Hey. I mean, is he wrong? See, this is one of the things I love discussing religion about, especially Christianity, because Christianity is the biggest religion in the world. And so when we look at quotes like this from the Polian Bonaparte, that religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. We need to understand that the common practices that we see today with everybody reading the Bible in their own language and everybody being able to understand the scriptures that are told to them in their own language, that those things are all very. Modern constructs because the religion incorporated better known as the Catholic Church. Is very much about money and control, and that's what the church was about for a very long time. And so the church was used as a weapon of the state to keep people quiet and to, you know, give your money on a shrine. And so we look at it's very cynical quotes like that. It's an unavoidable fact. Let's see you. What else? Who? Ohh. Albert Einstein. Oh, let's see what he got to say. Albert Einstein says those who believe that politics and religion do not mix understand neither. I would agree with that. Again, we go back to this code of conduct. Every religion, even cults that are not really religions, they're more like the the red haired step sibling of. The religions that we know in the world. These types of philosophies are very prevalent. The Code of conduct, the the law, the. Types of rules, regulations, expectations, all these things are tied in and then they end up reflecting in the politicians that we have. So when people want to talk about the argument of whether the United States is a Christian nation or not, the the issue is not so much of whether Christianity is the official religion. Because according to the Constitution. That cannot be the case. Instead, we need to look at the moralities. We need to look at the codes. The rules that the men and the women who shaped this country. Reflected and a lot of it comes from Judaism and Christianity. Now let's continue. Mahatma Gandhi. Did he rip off Al Reinstein? Oh no, he said. Those who believe religion and politics aren't connected don't understand either. Please don't tell me, Ghani, that you ripped off Albert Einstein or that Albert Einstein ripped off Gandhi. I hope they didn't rip each other off because that's kind of sad. Let's see. Mark Twain. Ohh yes. The troll himself. I love it. I am quite sure now that often. Very often it matters concerning religion and politics. A man's reasoning powers are not above the monkeys. Ah, I love Mark Twain. Man. He is something. He's a character I tell you. But Speaking of the Christian nation and the the reasoning power of monkeys. It would. I would be doing you a disservice if we did not. Take the opportunity. Look at this loading video and my friends as we continue, I welcome you to. 

If you believe with the government schools. Have taught you that God or. 

Share with me your comments, your concerns, your feedback. All these things are important without further ado. Let's jump in. 

If you believe with the government, schools have taught you that God or a faith in God had nothing to do with the founding of this country, go back and read some of the founding document. 

Just popping in here real quick to remind you that America is not and has never been a Christian nation. First things first, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution aren't the. The declare. 

Oh no, immediately out the gate. You can tell this this this person's kind of crazy. Look, I was told once the windows are the eyes are the window the ohh wow, I messed that up. The eyes are the windows into the soul. And when I look at the windows here I'm seeing a lot of craziness going on here. But let's see what you got to say. 

Of independence is a war proclamation and isn't binding. While the Constitution is the supreme law document of the United States. And of course, the Declaration of Independence set forward certain ideals that the founding fathers wanted included in their new country. But none of those were legally enforceable until those rights were enumerated in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. 

You are aware, ma'am, that one of the big reasons for the founding of this country was religious freedom? We are ohh. the United States was pretty much a haven for the religious zealots and their religious rejects of that time. We are aware of that, right? Just so we're clear. And by the way. My bachelor's degree is in government with legal studies. OK, so this kind of stuff is what I was taught in college. So I have a pretty good knowledge based on what she's discussing. In case you think I'm some right wing throwback who doesn't know anything. No, I am not. 

That's why it's so important that the Constitution intentionally never mentions God, and that's why Article 6 explicitly states that we can't have a religious requirement to run for public office. This is also why the Bill of Rights literally opens with Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. 

Wow, it's almost like she can read. Wow, that's that's. That's really nice, ma'am. Just so we're clear, the state establishing a religion is different than a lot of the leaders. Holding these ideals to heart and then whether voluntarily or involuntarily, using those ideals and transcribing them into laws using them at the power of the executive branch and then using them in the power of the court system, we are aware of this. Yes, I say this not because people are stupid. But because a lot of people, in their zeal to separate the church from the state as Jefferson so famously said, we need to understand that you can never truly pull them apart. Part number one and #2, he's talking about religion incorporated. He's talking about the Catholic Church at the time, which was less of a religion and more of a money laundering scheme, in my humble opinion. Just look at the look at all of the indulgences they sold. How much money that they. Slowly but surely trickled up to the Vatican, all of these things are somewhat still in place to this very day. OK, so this is what they're talking about when they're talking about the church. They're not talking about spirituality. They're not talking about the your desire to pray. They're talking about your desire to. A. To the Pope and all the Cardinals and bishops and everything else, that's what they were concerned about. They were concerned about the church, the kingmakers of Europe, dipping their beaks into their newly founded country. Just so we're clear. 

This is called the Establishment Clause, and it not only protects your right to practice any religion you want, but it also protects all U.S. citizens from having religion imposed upon them. In fact, the 1st 4 Presidents of the United States all spoke out against infusing religion into politics. 

But you won't know that they were somewhat religious men, correct. OK. And this is the problem. Ma'am, you're being disingenuous with your argument. You are saying that? Ohh. Because they didn't say that. This is a Christian country, that it has nothing to do with the founders. No, actually, that's entirely false. But OK, whatever. We we're not drawing a line between spiritual like personal practice and the professional church, which is the religion and corporated the the people who use use their holiness to fill their wallets. That's really who the founding fathers were concerned about, because that's what. Europe politics evolved around was the power of the. Church, using the power of the purse. But OK, we're not going to indulge with that cause. Apparently that's not important. Continue. 

George Washington said quote Path of True piety is so plain as to require but little political direction. In 1797, in the Treaty of Tripoli, John Adams wrote as the government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion. In 1802, Thomas Jefferson declared that when America adopted the Establishment Clause, they built a quote wall of separation between the church and state. 

Yes, that was between the Catholic Church and their overwhelming power that they accrued over the last thousand years in Europe. That's who they were talking about. They weren't talking about the little little church on the Prairie in Kansas. They weren't talking about that. They were talking about the kingmakers of Europe, the Catholic Church. That's who they were discussing and the the Church of Europe. I mean, the Church of England, founded by Henry the eighth. That's who they were talking about. They weren't talking about the little congregations that sprung up on in the new world. That's not what they were talking about. But again, so many people are so uneducated, they have no idea that this is exactly what they were talking about. But OK continue. 

And James Madison said religion and government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together. And just to get ahead of the argument, saying that the God is on our money and God is in the Pledge of Allegiance under God wasn't added to the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954. And in God we trust didn't appear on any of our currency until 19. 55 for. Contacts that's only 68 years ago, which is exactly the same age. Has the one and only Oprah Winfrey. 

I don't see how that's relevant, but OK continue. 

Oh, and one last. Thing all these major founding fathers that you think were Christians. Most of them were actually Diaz, who rejected the basic principles of what being Christian is like Thomas Jefferson, who literally wrote the Declaration of Independence. 

That's not entirely accurate. He wrote. A lot, a lot of it, but not all of it, but OK. 

But he didn't believe in miracles. The Trinity, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, or even God. So even if you believe that these people were endorsing a religion, sorry to tell you it wasn't your. 

Ma'am, I'm gonna kindly tell you to please sit down. Because while you made a couple of valid points, you were 100% wrong on separation of church state, which was the pinnacle of your argument. Just so we're clear. And gentlemen, you might be asking. Well, Austin, what the hell does this have to do with relationships? Well, I'm getting there. Trust me. But one of the issues. We see is politics have become so important in our world today that it's almost impossible to turn on the TV, listen to a podcast or anything without encountering some level of political subtext or over. Political plot just shoved in your face. I grew up and I'm not that old. I'm in my early to mid 20s. I grew up in a time when you could turn on the TV. You could watch Tom and Jerry. You could watch these shows that were actually funny, that had no political garbage being thrown at you, no political propaganda. Being thrust down your throat. Pause. And all of these things, but yet for some reason today they become so incredibly important. I'm passionate about these things, so I'm glad to talk about it, but a lot of people they could care less, they would be left alone. They want to live their life and they want you to to just leave them alone. And I understand that I'm a little libertarian myself. Personally, I and at the end of the day, I used to be in the military, down at tops of your clearance. I know the government is shady, OK? Trust me, I've seen a lot of things that were very disturbing and a lot of things I frankly I can't talk about or go to. 

No. 

So I'm not gonna talk about those things, but instead we are going to talk about is how married, how marriage and relationships are tying into politics and religion because you can never truly pull them apart because religious people tend to vote a certain way. Unless, of course, we have this. Conversation of Crimson Christianity, which is the L the I almost said what I actually mean. The Rainbow Rider people coming in to the church and using love as a reason to push their brand of hate. But of course that's what they say is all par for the course because God is apparently all love. He's not justice. He's not wrath, no firing brimstone. We're we're using eunuchs in the church and are using. The talking points and all of these things, I call that Crimson Christianity because a lot of that is rooted in communism and Communist philosophy. But we're going to get to relationships and we're not going to go down the rabbit hole of communism. Unless, of course, you want to hear that. And I can do a whole video on it because I've already done that before. Let's do this. Let's see what this gentleman has to say about a study. From the Washington Post. 

Last week, The Washington Post's editorial board warned that increasing polarization, especially among Gen. Z, means that American marriage is in trouble. Let's get into. It the column. Was ostensibly inspired by this data, showing that there are more women identifying as liberal and more men identifying this concern. 

OK, this is very true. This graph on the screen is very accurate. I pausing because I want you to see the graph so then this graph they're saying that men are becoming more conservative while women are becoming more liberal slash progressive. I don't like the term liberal because liberal stands for liberal like liberalism is supposed to be something about freedom. Versus it's just a stealth word for communism, socialism, and for those of you who want to say that socialism is good. Probably kind of a bum. Or you're an ideologue. That doesn't understand what socialism actually is, but that's OK, because that's a whole political theory course. You can. We can go down the rabbit hole if we want to go down it, but for right now. Instead of doing that well, instead what I'd like to do is talk about this graph. Let's go back to this graph. Do you have any idea why the men are becoming more conservative and the women are coming more progressive? It's very simple. #1 feminism and the gynocentric viewpoint is very progressive. Versus the more what you might call manosphere talking points the the basic biology of men is usually more traditional. Now you'll see men go on the progressive side, usually because they're trying to earn brownie points from women, and they're trying to be like a good eager Beaver guy. How did they do? How did I do? How do I do? Please report me. That's what they do. That's the way they operate and unfortunately. That's becoming more and more popular because instead of having a backbone, they instead want to have a bleeding heart, and now we end up with the society. We're living in today. And we also have the related shoot and ship marketplace we have today because contrary to popular belief, I know this isn't. Very. Politically correct, I'm about to say. But women and men are born equal. With equal power over the other, I know you don't believe that. I know you've been taught that that is false, but it is actually objectively true, and I'll explain to you right now why it is and then. In a couple of seconds. Women have the power of the ****** men have the power of politics. Period. You can write that down if you want. Men have power when it comes to the positions of politics and and strength versus women have the power of sex over men. You might think that's not important. Oh, it's very important to men. Men will throw their whole lives away to get it. You want to sit there and tell me? That's not an important power. Move, please. Please stop lying to me and to yourself, but let's continue with this gentlemen's video. 

And they spend. Quite a bit of time talking about. It. Almost lamenting. Actually the totally reasonable expectation that our partners will share our values. 

OK, first of all, I don't like the term partner partner stems from the reading, reading Rainbow community. OK, that is not. What partner? You mean spouse? Me, my wife or a husband? No. No. Partner is a stealth. Asop being word. If you don't know what aesopian is. Aesop. Fables. For those of you who didn't read them as a kid, they had, like, secret inferred meanings, and the Russians before the takeover that became the Soviet Union, used as aesopian language to get around censorship. In the same way they use it today to get the bleeding heart and the useful idiots. On their team by saying, hey, you know what, we want to care about everybody, we want equality, we want equity, we want diversity, we want love, we want compass. You see how all those things sound really good until you peel back the layers like the layers of an onion, and you find out the whole thing's based on a fraud. Yeah. That's where the term partner comes from. Up until very recently, the only people who used those. Were members of the rainbow community OK, let's continue. 

But one in five people, they tell us, we'll have to compromise. And even though the research tells us that they are likely to be unhappy in this scenario, apparently it is much worse if they end. Up single while. That is probably true for men that they are better. 

aha Look at this. Look at this propaganda right here, gentlemen. Says women are happier without children or a spouse, says happiness expert. Does anybody actually believe that? How many women do you actually seen on the Internet who are above the age of 45 or 50 talking about how great their life is without it being a bunch of cope? And you could tell they're lying. How many men, on the other hand, do you see that are saying that? I mean, I rest my case. 

Off being unhappy in marriage than they are staying single, that is certainly not the. Case for women. So already women are being asked to compromise their happiness for the benefit of men. That is not the only reason to be suspicious of this, because who are they blaming for this ideological divide? So glad you asked. We are told it is Democrats. 

Yeah. Thank you. Wait a? Minute. Wait a minute though. 

Who refused to compromise? 

That's half true. I would say that both the divide between the left and the right is pretty irreparable at this particular point. What I will say though is between the three major groups, the Democrat, the Libertarians, and the Republicans, the Democrats have declared proverbial war. On the other two and are trying to actively destroy them. Because that's what socialist slash communists tend to do. And for those of you who want to know. Socialist, communist, or do I say this? How do I say this in a way it's not going to get me in too much trouble. Socialism is communism without a gun. Just just so we're clear, OK. But again, let's let's go back to this guys video. 

And colleges are blamed for creating an unrealistic culture. The implication here being that it's women. It is leftists who are being unreasonable and will have to move toward the middle. 

I mean, how many videos have we seen on the Internet about the delusions that a lot of women have, whether it's in dating or economics or anything else? This doesn't mean that all women are stupid. It just means that when if The Who came up with the phrase that the delulu is the Sulu, you all heard that. Who came up with that and who's running with that? It's. Not men. Just just so we're. 

Clear. Never mind that feminist women may have very good reasons to not want to compromise on their values. This is not the worst editorial board column that I've ever read, but I mean. Wow, it is up there. 

OK, he he started off with some pretty, pretty decent points and then he just sending them to Dominic, Kate for the feminists because, you know, maybe they'll reward me with some extra ****** on the side type of guy. OK. Thank you very much. You, you proved your point, which was you're throwing in your lot with them. And and I wish you good luck, Sir. I really do because you're going to need. You're going to need it, but, gentlemen, we'll be talking about the relationship between religion, politics, relationships and all these things. They are part and parcel of the larger cauldron of society, and why we're seeing the discussions, why we're seeing the controversies, and even in an election year like the one we're currently in. None of these things are an accident. None of these stories being covered by the media, and my estimation are a mistake. Just look at the people at the top who own these news outlets and then look at who they endorse. Look at where the money is going. Always follow the money because the money does not lie. Numbers do not lie. My friends, I encourage you to leave your thoughts, your comments, your concerns, your praise, your disdain, all of it. In the comments below, I encourage you to think for yourself, because this is a very complex topic and then. This technically has no right or wrong answers, but I would argue the only right answer is the one that you think you can live with and the one that will leave. The world a better place than you found it. Our friends, you take care of yourselves. Always think with your brain and not with what is below your belt will save your life. I'm. Out of here? Peace.
