The Anabaptists and the Craziness of the Reformation

The Amish broke away from "mainline" christianity in the 16th century. The reformation was one of the many instances of mass hysteria and mayhem among the European population. Supposed "christians" were slaughtering each other in horrific ways over doctrinal differences about crackers and wine. In retrospect, there's not a lot that's attractive about the catholic church of the day, nor the protestant churches. They were aligned with different political and financial factions and were meddling in people's affairs all the time and had very little at all to do with the spiritual aspect of life.

The "anabaptists" (the Amish) basically rebooted their religion by going to the source material, i.e. the Bible, specifically the sermon on the mount. It is what I would do, too, if faced with insanity from the mass-movement churches. You go back to the source and start over.

The insane upheaval of the reformation made it possible for the Amish to really go their own way. This is obviously applicable today. We're facing a very similar upheaval.

The political "left" is retarded. Their rhetoric is bullshit that's wrapped around a particular oligarch faction. They just started injecting their kids with a mystery concoction to "baptize" them into their retarded faith in "the science". There isn't a political right in the western world.

The only real path forward is to go back to the source, just like the Amish did, and I expect only a handful of people are going to do that. The anabaptist movement was pretty small.
