Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheepkitsheared podcast of your host Austin Creed.
My friends, today we're going to return to the realm of religion.
Reason being that I'm actually in Dubrovnik right now, which you don't know, is ironically
where they filmed a lot of the Game of Thrones, King's Landing scenes, at least from the
exterior.
So I get to see a lot of historical monuments, I learned about the historical culture around
here.
It's been very fascinating and awesome actually.
You know, might as the fact that I'm very fair skinned, I'm very fair skinned, and
the sun is very brutal, but I didn't get on here to complain.
Well, at least not about the weather.
We came here to talk about religion, and so when it comes to religion, we've discussed
on the show before this idea of crimson Christianity.
A term that I have coined that talks about the subtle influence and very subtle kind
of infusion of communism, socialism and general weakness into the church under the guise of
being virtuous under the guise of being tolerant and under the guise of being accepting and
welcoming, people have kind of adopted this, whether it's the egalitarian church, which
I was at an even at church.
Why are you not just like a social club?
The Methodists in my opinion are kind of going down that road.
And I'm not here to just call people out.
I mean, that's part of the game.
But that's not the overall reason why we're having the conversation.
Reason we're having it is because I care very much about the church.
I was raised in it, even though I'm born of Jewish heritage.
I was raised as a Christian.
My parents are Christians.
And what's interesting to me is the more I go international, the more I look at the Catholic
Church, the more I actually kind of respect the Catholic Church, not in not entirely.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
There are still my gripes with them.
But I appreciate the fact that a lot of the Catholic tradition doesn't just run over to
pandered anybody.
You know, one of the problems with a lot of Protestant churches is they're so desperate
to have people come and give them money, which of course is not what they actually say.
They say that they're going to save your soul while they're also there to make money.
But regardless, they're so desperate for people to like want to go to their church, want to
be a part of their community, that they just accept everybody.
They just say, come in here, we love you.
It's great.
And then in doing so, they don't enforce rules.
They don't have backbones.
A lot of the pastors don't have backbones.
And I'll tell you a quick story.
When I was still in Bosnia in Mostar, I met a father, a priest who was talking about the
history of the cathedral, which was beautiful, by the way, the mosaics all over the ceiling,
the high towers.
It was brilliant, beautiful.
It wasn't was a high school gym where a lot of Protestant churches meet.
Now, I'm talking this was a beautiful church.
So when I walk in and he's talking, he doesn't speak amazing English because he's I think
he's a croat, but I'm not completely sure he didn't go into detail.
But it was interesting to hear him talk about how he stands on business.
He stood on principles.
He said, hey, you know what?
I don't go out of my way to make people, you know, who are homosexual or people who are
trans or whatever uncomfortable in my cathedral.
But I let them know, hey, I'm not going to just sit here and enable you was basically
what he said.
And he said way more than that, but I'm giving you the parts that is relevant to the conversation.
What was so shocking to me is I go out with the rest of my tour group, we go out of the
cathedral and they're all griping and I'm like, what's going on here?
Why are people upset?
And they're told I asked them and they asked like three different people and they all
tell me they're like, it feels very welcoming.
I didn't like it.
He was being very polarizing.
I was like, huh?
What?
I was like, you what?
These people are like Adventists, Protestants, you know, people and I'm like, you've got
to be joking.
What are you talking about?
It was a missed opportunity to share the gospel.
But I'm like, what?
The gospel was written all over the wall.
Were you looking at the wall?
The wall had the last supper.
Jesus died on the cross.
It had the final supper.
The last supper.
It had the transfiguration.
It had all this different stuff.
Right?
And they're griping about how he was talking about standing on business instead of pandering
like a lot of Protestant churches, which he was right, by the way.
And then they got all mad.
They were like, oh, he wasn't talking about it.
Like they wanted me to give him like a Sunday school class.
I'm like, what the hell is wrong with these people?
What is going on in the world that this is the most important thing?
Oh, you can't speak against the rainbow mafia or the alphabet army.
You can't speak against them.
And a lot of churches, they are like, they tiptoe around all this issue.
And the father sat there and he said, no, I don't do that shit.
I stand all business and I respected him for it.
Apparently I was the only one.
They wanted some metrosexual priest to get up there and be like, well, you know, seeing
out my sons and daughters, where you come here and we love everybody and well, we don't
agree with your lifestyle.
And historically, the church wouldn't have accepted it at all, but we're very tall and
broad and accepting.
And we want to come in here and make you feel welcome.
He didn't do that dumb shit.
He said, go do what you want to do.
Just don't tell the kids about it and don't tell any of my church.
And I was like, hey, I'm here for that.
But it went to show the level of weakness.
And the average Christian, the average person I met on this trip who's like, and I don't
know everything about like the seventh day Adventist people.
I'm not trying to downplay you from what I've seen.
They're good people, but there are so many pacifist people out here who are so unbelievably
disgusting that they don't like the military.
They don't like the idea of nationalism.
They don't like the idea of like standing for something.
They want to just kind of like do what they want to do.
And then if anybody disagrees with them, they think they're just going to walk away
and like, oh, they take the phrase, turn your other cheek extremely literally.
And I think to myself, what kind of weak crap is this?
Like I prefer the Catholics or the crusaders.
I prefer that now by saying that's morally correct.
No.
But the end of the day, I mean, my friends, this is what I'm talking about.
This is the kind of Christianity that gives people the, hey, we stand, we're not trying
them to hurt people per se, or trying to instill in people is masculinity, especially in the
boys.
We want the men to be men and we don't want a man doing these metrosexuals who sell like
a big mouse and laughing gas like that one guy in the daily wire.
And instead, they sound like down the church today.
They don't teach them stuff that actually makes them the man.
They just teach them how to not be threatening, which is not a virtue.
And my friends, this is why I think it's important to be talking about this crisis in the church
and why a lot of men more than we're willing to admit are going either away from religion
entirely or they're going to more fundamental sex like the Orthodox church or to Islam.
And the reason they're doing that is because those people stand all business.
Now do I agree with everything?
No, of course not.
I don't agree with 100% on anybody on anything.
Let's get that across right now.
I develop my own personal philosophy called biblical bachelorism.
I do my own thing, as I'm sure a lot of you do as well.
I don't just sit here and say I'll never agree with anybody because that's stupid.
I might as well just turn my brain off and read that person then.
No, I think for myself as I think you should as well.
And it's because of that that I want people to understand where they're lacking, especially
the people who will pretend like they're so much better than everybody because they have
some kind of relationship with God that they think is so sacred.
Let me tell you something.
When it comes to relationships with God, I don't understand why people get like, oh,
it's a relationship.
How can you have a personal relationship with somebody who you don't even like, who doesn't
actually spoken to you outside of what you hear in your own head and you think you understand?
I'm not selling you.
You don't.
I'm asking a question.
Is it illegal to ask a question?
Huh?
Am I am I not a Christian if I ask a question?
Huh?
Do I need to be one of those metrosexual guys who look like the like the pill boy dope pill
berry do boy to be a good man?
Like fuck that dumb ass wheat garbage.
Again, this is the problem.
I'm so used to not asking these questions, my friends, until very recently because whenever
I asked them instead of answering my question, people would just be like, oh, you shouldn't
ask the question because the way you said that was so hostile.
The way you freeze that makes you so like you don't believe what you not believe.
What are you?
What are you not a Christian?
Oh my, oh my God.
Can I get anyone who has any that's more than two brain cells can roll them together and
we can have a reasonable conversation?
Does anybody else have experience where they feel like they're talking to somebody and
then they can't have a mutual exchange of ideas?
They can't have a rational discussion talking about logos before the pathos just comes in
like a, a correct intersection and derails everything.
I'm sick and tired of people using emotions in the church.
I'm sick of it, frankly.
And this is why I like a good balance between people talking about having a so-called relationship
with God and the traditions that the Catholic and the Orthodox Church have.
I don't walk into that Catholic cathedral, my friends.
I'm not Catholic, by the way.
But when I did, I walked in there, I saw tradition, I saw history, I saw order on those walls.
And when I walk into a protested church, a lot of times what I see is people just desperate
to make a dollar.
I see people who are just guilt-tripped by their past or trying to escape it entirely.
And I see people who are trying to almost reinvent themselves and they're trying to
find a way out of their old life and they want to find a social club, but people just
don't want to be alone or they're like ex-druggies and instead of doing cocaine, they're not
trying to do Jesus.
You know, do religion.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's like when people like us, we first had exposed the red pill, right?
And then when we first got exposed, we were like, oh my God, this is the most brilliant
thing ever.
I can't believe I didn't see this before now.
The first thing you want to do is you want to go out there and you want to tell all your
friends, hey guys, I know I've seen reality, you know, whether it's about women, about
money, about politics, whatever.
People don't want to, you want to tell everybody the truth and they're like looking at you
like you're insane.
That's all a lot of religious people sound when they speak in their like their own language.
People don't understand what you're talking about.
In the same way that I don't dump the red pill knowledge on people, they ask me, I'll
tell them.
But most of the time I just stick it to here.
I stick it to my Twitter page, which is as the same handle as the show.
That cheap kid shared if you want to hear my really odd takes in the moment.
But other than that, I don't dump it on people in the same way that I find it disgusting
when the so-called holy people dump their baggage on people like under the guise of
being holy.
They want to pretend like they're better than everybody.
And I don't plan to be better than anybody ever.
Now my more knowledgeable than some people, duh and or hello, but that doesn't make them
stupid.
If they really wanted to know the true realities of the world, like you a gentleman who listened
to the show have come to accept, then they can't, but they don't want to.
In the same way that when we talk about the crisis of masculinity in the church and how
all the weakness and the pacifism and the panzing and the crimson Christianity that's
kind of just deceived its way in thanks to the weakness, do you think it just happened
overnight?
No, it happened because people were slowly making concessions and the military when you're
compromised, that means you are unable to do your job, you're unable to accomplish the
mission.
But when we take that out of the military context, we talk about compromising.
When you're told to compromise with somebody, you perceive it to be a positive thing like
oh, we came to a mutual understanding.
In a military, if I said I'm compromised, people are like, oh, shit, he's like, he's
turned, he's a traitor, or he's incompetent, he can't do his job, he needs help.
How is it in a civilian context, we think compromising is good?
I don't think of being compromising as good.
I think of shifting my position if I'm wrong is good, but I don't see why I should sit
here and compromise on something that I know I'm right on.
Am I wrong?
Please let me know what you think.
I want to know.
And this is why I want the reasons why I will never be married, because I know where I want
to go in my life.
I know what I want to do.
I know where I want to go.
I know what's going to take me to at least at this moment.
And being a husband, that's not going to help me get there.
It's not going to help get me to where I want to go.
I know guys who I respect very much who get who are married or plan to get married.
Now am I going to sit there and tell them that all these 304s are out here, you know,
like for example, their their future wives out here with me or with you getting their
backs blown out for a couple bucks or it allegedly or I know it was sugar babying or
out there she can throw it at the club twerking on Tyrone.
I'm not going to tell them that.
Why?
Because number one, they're likely to say not my girl or two, they're going to give
me the garbage of oh just you know like find the right one.
As if I'm out here looking for a rock one or anybody else's.
Oh god, it's just funny.
You got a lot about it because you can you could get mad and trust me, I used to get
mad about stuff like that.
But you know what man, there's so much more to life than that.
There's so much more to life than religion to by the way, I don't understand people who
they live like they live and breathe and die this stuff like day and night.
They'll argue stuff that they don't understand.
They'll debate people like like it's their job.
I don't get it.
I think there's something the bed there's something beneficial you can see it all religions
by the way.
Does that make them all equally correct?
I'll let you decide but I think there's something you can gain from every religion or spirituality.
Why?
Let me ask you something.
If God is infinite, then is there not an infinite number of ways to understand him?
Like a lot of Christians I know they can't comprehend this because they're so stuck in
their dogma but maybe you gentlemen of the sheep kid sheared podcast maybe you my friends
can this can resonate with you.
If God is infinite right would it not then stand to reason that the ways to understand
God are also infinite?
Maybe a little bit.
I think so.
Now are we going to get into the dogmatic stuff of like who's going to go to heaven
and who's not look I'm not God dude.
Unfortunately help I wish I was but I'm not so who am I to say that someone's not going
to go to heaven or who someone is or someone's not.
I mean what kind of statement is something like that telling someone they're going to
go to hell or they're going to go to heaven because they do what you want.
I mean how much more disgusting can you get?
The whole thing is just a power grab that means to control you to get your money.
I think it was PT Barnum who said a full way this money are easily separated.
I mean was he wrong?
I don't think so.
But my friends I think the stream of consciousness is kind of coming to an end here.
Before long I'm going to shift into probably talking about the debate last night.
Last night for me like no two nights ago.
Two nights ago for me probably almost you know two nights for you as well because I'm
like what nine hours ahead or something like that.
But it actually was somewhat bearable it was better than I thought.
But I'll leave it like that.
I thought it was going to be an absolutely disgusting train wreck and to some extent
it kind of was considering that they literally pulled out all the stops for Biden and he's
still lost in my opinion.
I think even their own poll showed that you lost.
But um yeah I'll talk about that probably in the next show.
I could do it now but then the show will probably go for another up to like an hour which some
of you might like.
Do you mind wanting me to do an hour or two hour show?
Maybe I'll work up to that at some point.
Oh by the way in the future I'll probably be within the next week.
I'll be back in the States and have my normal setup but I'm going to really update my setup
so you're going to I'm not telling you this doesn't like tomorrow or the day after but
those of you who love the show and religiously listen to the show first of all I want to
thank you for that.
It means a lot to me truly.
The next thing I want to say is I want to be changing I want to upgrade my microphone
I'm going to upgrade against sound debt I want to get all that stuff going so that we
don't have to deal with these goofy sound issues we don't have to deal with this so
we can focus more on the issues at hand because to me that's what's important.
But my friends in the meantime I will leave you for now.
You take care of yourselves please I encourage you to I know I touch on a lot of different
topics throughout the show because my mind jumps around because of the stream of consciousness
but you let me know what stood out to you what you would like to discuss more what you
want to talk about what please let me know I'd love to hear it.
My friends in the meantime I encourage you to think for yourselves and not be like any
of the people we talked about who don't do that.
My friends you take care of yourselves in the meantime I'll see you later peace.
