The Kind of Man You Actually Need (But the World Overlooks)
John Blake’s article on "white Christian nationalism" is a hysterical, fear-mongering diatribe that completely inverts reality. What he demonizes as “extremist” values—faith in God, love for our country, protecting children, and rejecting woke ideologies—are, in fact, the moral backbone of any healthy society. Meanwhile, the worldview he defends is nothing short of perverse and destructive, a calculated attack on truth and goodness. Let’s set the record straight.
Blake’s Perverse Worldview vs. Christian Values
Blake doesn’t just dismiss opposition to Critical Race Theory (CRT), gender ideology, or the woke agenda—he hysterically condemns them as dangerous, extremist crusades. Stop and think about that. He’s calling parents “radicals” for opposing CRT, a framework that teaches children to see themselves and others primarily through the lens of skin color. CRT reduces human beings to categories of oppressor and oppressed, denying the fundamental Christian truth that every person is created in God’s image and possesses equal dignity and worth. Teaching children to hate themselves—or to view others with suspicion and resentment—doesn’t build bridges. It sows division, and it’s antithetical to both the Gospel and the principles of a free society.
Blake also attacks people of faith for opposing the indoctrination of children with gender ideology and hyper-sexualized content in schools. But let’s be clear: protecting children from harmful lies isn’t extremism—it’s love in action. Gender ideology confuses kids, convincing them that they can change their biology on a whim, leading many down a path of irreversible surgeries, lifelong medical treatments, and heartbreak. These are not compassionate policies—they are dangerous experiments being carried out on the most vulnerable among us.
And then there’s Blake’s disdain for Christians who want to bring the Bible and the Ten Commandments back into schools. Why is teaching children moral clarity a threat to democracy? Are values like “do not steal” or “honor your father and mother” suddenly controversial? A society that rejects these principles inevitably descends into chaos. What Blake advocates is not progress; it’s moral anarchy.
A Christian Nation Is Not the Problem—It’s the Solution
Blake repeatedly warns about the “danger” of creating a “Christian nation,” as though that phrase itself is enough to end the argument. But let’s take a moment to ask: what exactly does he think made America great in the first place? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. The Declaration of Independence acknowledges that our rights come from God, not government, and that these rights—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—are unalienable. The Founding Fathers didn’t invent these ideas in a vacuum; they were grounded in centuries of Christian thought about the dignity of the human person and the moral order.
When America embraced these principles, society flourished. Schools taught the Bible and the Ten Commandments, and kids grew up understanding the difference between right and wrong. Families were intact, communities were safer, and the nation was stronger. Contrast that with today: skyrocketing crime, rampant fatherlessness, and children drowning in depression and confusion. This didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of systematically erasing God from the public square. A nation that honors God and promotes His principles isn’t a dystopia—it’s a thriving, ordered society. What Blake and his sources defend is the real threat: a godless culture that leaves destruction in its wake.
His Smear Campaign Is About Silencing Christians
Make no mistake: this isn’t about “white Christian nationalism.” It’s about silencing Christians, period. Blake and those he quotes know that Christians are the last line of defense against their agenda to redefine morality, dismantle the family, and rewrite reality itself. By slapping inflammatory labels like “extremist” or “nationalist” on anyone who dares to stand up for truth, they hope to intimidate believers into silence. But their tactics are as transparent as they are desperate.
Here’s the irony: the real extremism lies in the worldview Blake defends. Teaching children that they can change their gender based on fleeting feelings? Extremism. Handing out condoms and birth control instead of teaching self-control and respect for their bodies? Extremism. Pushing policies that destroy families and replace parental authority with state control? That’s not progress—it’s authoritarianism dressed up as compassion. And Christians won’t stand by and let it happen.
Christians Aren’t Backing Down
Blake doesn’t want to admit it, but Christians aren’t the problem; we’re the solution. We believe in protecting children from harm, strengthening families, and promoting values that lead to true human flourishing. And we’re not going to sit quietly while people like Blake try to paint us as villains for doing so. Faith isn’t a weapon—it’s a light in the darkness, and right now, our society needs that light more than ever.
So, John Blake, call us extremists. Call us radicals. It won’t change the truth. We’re fighting for our kids, our country, and the soul of this nation—not out of hatred, but out of love. Love for God, love for truth, and love for a culture that desperately needs both. And here’s the truth you can’t spin: a society without God collapses. What you’re defending isn’t freedom—it’s chaos. What you call progress is nothing more than the destruction of everything good.
The Bottom Line
Blake’s article isn’t just misguided—it’s dangerous. It attacks the very people who are working to rebuild what this culture is tearing down. But here’s what Blake and his allies don’t understand: Christians won’t be silenced. We’re not backing down. We’ll keep fighting for life, for families, for morality, and for a society that honors God—because we know that truth wins. It always does.
