This is one of the best things you've ever written.

The theology question is one of the most divisive issues in the dissident right. Yes, even more so than tits vs ass (tits, obviously. Tits are the substitute ass that developed following bipedalism to leverage primate sexual arousal wiring. Ass may by the OG but tits are the evolved overman's choice). Just the other day I was in a chat, chuckling as I watched yet another jihad between tradcatcs and neo-Hellenes. "Your Christian God is a semitic fraud!" "Your pagan deities are literally demons!"

All fucking nonsense, of course. If one must believe in gods - and why not, for archetypes have a reality all their own, at the very least - then the solution is quite obvious, once you've done some digging. Yes, there is one cosmic God, one Sky Father who created and rules over all, and He is not the unique property of any one people, or even any given species. But there are many levels between us and Him, and whether one calls the the beings that reside there gods or angels is a matter of semantics. Let the pagan pantheons be angels, then, for the pagans also acknowledged a supreme being after all; there, done, everyone can be happy.

Well, maybe not quite. After all, God casts a bright light, but His Shadow has a presence all its own. And the Shadow may trick you into thinking that it is God. Some may pretend to believe this, while knowingly worshipping the Shadow; others may simply be fooled. So who are they really aligned with?

By their fruits you shall know them.

Well, where does that leave us, in regards to mortal leaders vs. gods? A believer in the goodness of the One True God has little problem believing that Putin was sent by Him to save us. However the Gnostic Christians would suggest that Putin is just another corrupted agent of the Demiurge. Me, I just think DNA is God. Which is cool when on mushrooms, but when back on earth, is basically a knife fight.
