Honour

Ha! Up now! honour!
Moral honour! European honour!
Blow again, continue, Bellow-box of virtue!
Ha![Nietzsche, TSZ, Among Daughters of the Desert]

Honour
c.1200, "glory, renown, fame earned," from Anglo-French honour, from Old French honor, Latin honorem (nominative honos) "honour, dignity, office, reputation," of unknown origin.

Isn't the Christian rejection of Pride, pride being central to the pagan notion of honour - [Aristotle made Pride one of his Virtues], a crucial factor in the decline of European Pride?

Christianity made of pride a Sin!

Christianity 'moralised' honour and rid it of everything that Christianity regarded as vain, egotistical and ... proud.

But how can a proud people assert itself without Pride?

Lack of pride is the basic cause of decadence amongst European peoples.

It wasn't that way with the pagan Germans, for example.

Their concept of honour [ere] was very different to the post-Christian concept of honour.

Unfortunately the same word is used to render quite different concepts [leading to statements such as 'honour has always been important amongst great civilisations' etc., - but what type of 'honour'?]


Love is nothing without pride!

And let us rehabilitate boasting.

Dictionary definition;
'Boast': To speak of with excessive pride.

You must love yourself first before you can love others.

You must also be proud of your living family/race/nation for what it is, and must exalt that over all else - even over your 'God'.

You must love your living family/race/nation for what it is - it must be dearer to you than even your God.

For without the living family of flesh and blood there is nothing else; and even a God will desert such a nullity.

Your God will just go on and find a another race to Father if He is to survive; or perhaps He will go extinct too.


The Christian cult of Love without Pride [moral interpretation of Christianity] has eventually lead to a Universalism which is inimical to Racial Pride.


The West today is 'unique' in undermining its own racial pride.

The rest of the world stands aghast as the West allows all races, all creeds into its homelands!
The rest of the world is stunned when the West makes Racial Pride a crime amongst its own people!
The rest of the world rubs its hands at this sense of 'honour', and craftily praises the West for displaying such 'unegoistical' tolerance!

If a suicidal rejection of 'egoistical pride' is an example of 'Christian honour', then I think we are better off without it.

Or I think we might rather inject a dose of Pagan Pride into our veins before all the blood is drained out of us.

I find it rather unacceptable the idea that this Christian God created all of the nations and all of the races.


Nations and races are the 'children' of their own Gods!

The Gods of the black races of Africa have not fathered the Aryan peoples of Europe! [nor vice versa]!
This perverse belief in one God fathering all the races & nations of the world is the pernicious Father of Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism.

Of course, to the religious fanatic, Nationalism is considered a heresy.

Belloc listed Nationalism [exaggerated or unexaggerated] in his book of Modern Heresies.
The reason is obvious; Nationalism [and racialism] challenge the belief in a Universal God who is supposed to be the Father of all mankind.
Racial Nationalism says that my nation and my race are special and unique. And says that they are not fathered by Yahweh or by Jehovah, or any other Middle-eastern deity.

In elder-times [pagan era] it was considered that the Nordic race and the Nordic tribes were descended from Odin, Tyr and Thorr etc., [i.e., from the specific gods peculiar to one race, and sharing the Blood of that race].
It was never believed in elder-times that foreign races shared the same gods as our own or we theirs!

Therefore the real 'logic' is this; when the particularist elder beliefs were exchanged for the universalist Christian belief, this paved the way for the debilitating idea that all of Humanity is One, and that it shares the same 'Father'.
This is the very root of Anti-Racism.


We hear in Tacitus of the proud nationalism of Herman [or Arminius] who fought against 'Roman slavery'.

Herman The Cheruscan



Herman - too Proud?

The problem is this: Ethics must be separated from Religion.

Plato showed this in his Euthyphro, when he put the dilemma:

'Is morality good because God commands it, or does God love morality because it is good?'

If the former, then there is no Ethics; if the latter, then God is not relevant to Ethics.

Philosophers tend to take the latter view whether they believe in God or not.

And so it should be.

The crisis caused by Christianity was due to its appropriation of Ethics [or 'Morality'].

My Ethics are my Ethics - they are not the business of a Spiritual Being etc.,
