Christ is not a myth!
Christ is not a myth!The Media in 4-4-2 - Apr 28, 2024
The response of the philosopher Matthieu Lavagna to Michel Onfray.
In his work "Free response to Michel Onfray "No, Christ is not a myth", the young philosopher Matthieu Lavagna refutes the theory of the atheist author Michel Onfray according to which Jesus of Nazareth never existed. Matthieu Lavagna draws on numerous historical sources to prove the existence of Christ and addresses the most common arguments against Christianity.
Michel Onfray has defended for more than 25 years the idea that Jesus of Nazareth did not have a historical existence and that Christianity is a myth. However, Matthieu Lavagna explains that this theory is unfounded and that there are numerous sources, both Christian and non-Christian, which mention the existence of Christ in the first two centuries.
Among non-Christian sources, the young philosopher cites Flavius Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius, Lucian of Samosata, Pliny the Younger, Galen, the Babylonian Talmud, Celsus and Mara bar Serapion. In addition to these sources, there are also Christian sources, such as the Gospels, the Epistles of Paul, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Epistles of Peter and James, which mention the existence of Jesus.
Matthew Lavagna points out that even the Jews, who were the enemies of Christians, did not question the existence of Christ. He also explains that historical sources mentioning Jesus far outnumber those mentioning other historical figures of the time, such as Julius Caesar.

Satan seen by men and Satan seen by AI, problem!
Satan seen by men and Satan seen by AI, problem!Insolentiae – Apr 28, 2024
AI is one of my playgrounds to try to understand both the capabilities and the limits of such tools and the problems that this can pose for us.
One topic that will come up quickly is that of work. Everyone easily imagines the fact that AI, by automating many tasks, will reduce the number of jobs. This is true and predictable. But that's not the main problem.
The main problem with the negative effects on employment of AI will actually concern young people. Those who are starting out.
Traditionally, when a young person starts, whatever their “diplomas” and other parchments more or less demonetized by a distressing educational level, they know how to do nothing or very little. Obviously, having been young too, old age being an illness that arrives so quickly, I would have told you “admittedly” that I knew how to do everything or almost everything! With age and experience we know that when we were young we didn't know much in the end, but this is the classic life path of every human being, our "learning" curve.
Young people therefore start with simple tasks, often a little repetitive, and not too technical. And then gradually they acquire this experience and this essential maturity which allows them to go further and further, to do more and more complex things. By automating all the simple tasks, there will be no more space, no more tasks to complete and will allow the youngest to be trained gradually. This may seem trivial, yet it is THE main problem that AI will pose to us. By preventing the training of young people, this will prevent their progress. AI will therefore likely accelerate the destruction of human intellectual capabilities at a speed never seen before. Add to that stupid networks like Tik-Tok and “short” videos and you have weapons of mass destruction of human intelligence and our creativity.
This leads me to my final AI experiment that I wanted to share with you.
Satan seen by men and seen by AI Chat GPT.
I was deliberately short in the “prompt” (the script or request) sent to Chat-GPT. My request was as follows.
“Can you generate two images for me. The first would be that of Satan evil seen by men according to what they imagine on average and the second how you would see Satan. »
Normally, the two images should substantially coincide if the same system of values has been integrated into the AI system which remains a “machine” programmed by humans.
However, factually, the image of Satan according to men and that according to AI do not correspond.
In one case we have Satan who is “evil”.
In the second image, Satan seen by the AI... things are much less negative. Satan is almost “sympathetic”.
I would like to know how the notion of good and evil was integrated into AI.
You see, AI is far too important a thing to be left in the hands of a few apprentice sorcerers who all have their own ideology, mysticism or relationship to good or evil.
The questions that should be ours are in reality dizzying, and our national representation has no awareness of the need to do philosophy to do politics. Do not hesitate to share this article with your MPs, again to stimulate and fuel their thoughts.

A spectacular increase of 31% in baptisms
The Media in 4-4-2 - March 30, 2024
Young French people are turning to the Catholic Church: a spectacular increase of 31% in baptisms.
France is experiencing a significant increase in baptisms among young people, with a 31% increase in catechumens compared to last year. Discover how the Catholic Church responds to this spiritual thirst among young French people.
The Catholic Church in France is experiencing a significant increase in baptisms among adults and adolescents. According to a survey by the Conference of Bishops of France (CEF), the number of catechumens increased by 31% compared to last year, with 7 applicants for baptism. This trend is not a simple rebound effect after Covid, but rather a spiritual thirst among young people.
Young people aged 18 to 25 now represent 36% of newly baptized people, while among adolescents between 11 and 17 years old, the survey recorded 5 baptisms in 025 dioceses, an increase of 68% on average. This vitality is illustrated by the presence of 50 young French people at the last World Youth Day (WYD) in Lisbon.
The president of the CEF, Éric de Moulins-Beaufort, emphasizes that in his diocese of Reims, catechumens have increased from 20 to 73 in five years. However, he questions the ability of the Church to support all these newcomers in a society where 80% of young people have not received religious education.
The CEF also observes a significant increase in baptized people from families without religion, or a quarter of the total. This trend shows that France is moving away from secularism where the Church is mistreated to join the cross of Christ.
Covid was decisive in pushing citizens towards the Church. Western democracy no longer inspires young people's dreams and the lack of reference points in a society dominated by wokism remains too destabilizing. As was the case with Russia which found its faith after the USSR, French youth are returning to their Christian roots to find answers to their existential questions. The holy spirit is at work!

The Canadian government wants to criminalize Christianity
The Canadian government wants to criminalize ChristianityDigital Dawn - March 08, 2024
Canada is moving to criminalize Christianity as the far-left Canadian government seeks to expand its "hate speech" laws to include key elements of the Christian faith.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government, controlled by the World Economic Forum, plans to outlaw Christianity, with Bible reading and prayer considered "hate speech", a "crime" punishable by a prison sentence.
Under the leadership of Trudeau, a young global leader of the WEF, the government is introducing an amendment to the Penal Code that could see believers sentenced to prison for expressing the historic teachings of Christianity.
Bill C-367 will make it illegal to repeat parts of the Bible.
By removing the “good faith” defense, the government will be able to prosecute Christians for what it considers “hate speech.”
Traditional Christian practices, such as celebrating Christmas or attending a religious service, will be considered crimes punishable by severe penalties.
The proposed amendment seeks to remove the provision that allows individuals to defend themselves by claiming that they sincerely believe and are merely expressing religious teaching already present in Scripture.
This means that invoking religious beliefs to justify words or actions that the state considers to be “heresy” will no longer be accepted as a valid defense under the law.
The bill states the following:
“The text modifies the penal code in order to eliminate as a means of defense against voluntary incitement to hatred or anti-Semitism the fact that a person, in good faith, has expressed or attempted to establish by an argument a religious opinion or subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.

What is the “wild beast” of Revelation the symbol of?
What is the “wild beast” of Revelation the symbol of?Equality and Reconciliation - 09 Jan 2024
The Beast of the Apocalypse, this mystical wonder emerging from the sacred pages of chapters 13 and 17 of the Apocalypse, stands like an imposing shadow in the twilight of Christian eschatology.
Under the authoritarian reign of the Emperor Domitian, this opus emerged, a celestial work attributed to none other than the apostle John, depositary of the prophetic oracles.
Throughout the ages, this enigmatic figure has sparked a myriad of interpretations. Daring to penetrate the mysteries of this vision, we offer a new understanding, thus hoping to captivate the attention of readers thirsty for symbols and eschatology.
This extraordinary beast is a chimera that resembles a lion, a leopard and a bear, and has ten horns. This description reminds us of four equally atypical creatures that the prophet Daniel presented in one of his visions.

Excerpt from the article The End of Times: https://www.pierre-lassalle.org/la-fin-des-temps/ de Pierre Lassalle
The second “secret” of Fatima mainly concerned Russia: Mary wanted this country to be consecrated to her (to her Immaculate Heart) by the “pundits” of the Catholic Church, because this would have brought peace to the world. The Virgin had confessed that the Father had chosen Russia, which he loved, to bring peace to the world or to be the scourge of God!

Who is Jesus? Alain Soral’s response
Equality and Reconciliation - 27 Dec 2023
If Onfray, who is no longer in his right mind, explains to us that Jesus is a myth, that he never existed, that he was born between the lines of the Bible, Alain Soral validates in a Hegelian-Marxist way the person of Jesus.
“Jesus is the first character who proposed to us a world-system, something which is universal, and which also starts from a double Hegelian inversion, it is very interesting: it is inverting the polarity of Judaism, which is still an elitist and racial thing, and by inverting Judaism, making it something universal and of love, while Judaism is a religion of racial hatred, it is a religion of hatred and a racial religion.
Jesus is a Jew who reversed Judaism, to make something of racial hatred something of universal love, and although he was killed very quickly by the Sanhedrin, that is to say the elites who did not want the Jews at first to convert from racial hatred to universal love, because that is the story of the passion of Christ, and what the Gospels tell us, and although it apparently failed since he was put to death and crucified, he rose again on the third day, so that is already the religious belief, ultimately I can do without it, it is because in fact his ideology of universal love, which is the first in the history of the world, that's what I say in my book, it doesn't exist among the Hindus, it doesn't exist among the Chinese, that's it, it's is Jesus, well it spread throughout the world through the Roman Empire through the conversion of Constantine.
That is to say, it was a racial hatred inverted into universal love which was propagated throughout the West by a pagan military empire, so it is a double Hegelian inversion. »
A philosophical reflection on the current dystopia starting from the crucifixion of Christ.
“During the trial of Jesus, Pilate asked the crowd, as was customary, which prisoner he should release. He asked, “Who do you want me to release: Barabbas or Jesus, called the Christ?” » The crowd demanded the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus! That says a lot, friend. Indeed, we always come back to the same story: that of La Boétie. Indeed, when a tyranny triumphs, it is more because of the people who obey the tyrant en masse than the tyrant himself. It is the crowd that called for the death of Jesus when they could have saved him and it is the crowd that calls for tyranny by kneeling before the tyrant and supporting him when they could say no. The last two years bear witness to this. The message here is clear: everything that happens in the years to come, absolutely everything, will be your fault, people. You are the one who holds the cards, you are the one who can choose to crucify yourself or not. Your children and grandchildren will wear the cross or the irons on their feet that you have accepted for them to wear. Accepted by accepting the unacceptable. But above all, accepted by refusing to look in which direction you were running: that is to say, by following the movement of the crowd led by malicious masters, by closing your eyes and covering your ears. People, you have not understood the lesson of Jesus, nor that of Socrates, nor that of La Boétie, so you will relive the flood. You will relive it to learn like a child who must grow up. This is the reality of man in the XNUMXst century: he is a child with technology in his hands, nothing more. A child who sends rockets into space but lacks wisdom. A child who refuses to meditate on emancipatory messages and who will pay a high price. That of freedom. »

A secret known to all
A secret known to allInternational Network - Dec 26, 2023
If there is one territory where we can take a step back, it is that of the Middle East. In history, terrible tragedies have taken place on these lands and even today we are witnesses first-hand to a terrible misfortune.
This horror kills but also spreads, like a cloud throughout the world which becomes a little darker. Hope is disappearing, despair is settling in everywhere. The solution is complex and almost insoluble. Just at the ideological level, how can we explain that three religions which initially have a common biblical basis manage to tear each other apart. It's absurd.
If adults don't understand it, how can we explain it to children? Should we leave them in ignorance and helplessness all their lives? Isn’t there a way to offer them a way out? Without going into theology, can't we explain things to them simply.
It is in this spirit that I present to each child this little mathematical and philosophical calculation problem.
How many children are there in your class and in your school? How many schools are there in your country and in the world? How many children have gone to school in 100 years? That's an impressive number. If each hour of teaching represents a small square stone measuring one centimeter on a side, what would be the size of the pyramid that could be built with all these stones? In reality, it is huge.
Since the dawn of time, parents have sought to teach the best to their children who are all more or less hungry for knowledge. If the mass of teachings and knowledge increases naturally, how is it that the world remains so bad, so barbaric? Why this discrepancy? Why is there no development?
The answer has to do with human nature. Since the dawn of time, human dignity can only be acquired in one way, which is the recognition of our own conscience. As soon as man says “I”, he is aware of his freedom of thought. This is the necessary and sufficient condition for total and complete recognition of human dignity. There are no half measures. Moreover, it is this simplicity which guarantees equality between each man.
Freedom is a very special value. First of all, it is the simplest of all values. It is as easy to grasp as a wall. On the other hand, it is universal in the animal world. Even an amoeba examined under a microscope tries to escape from where it has been placed. But above all, the value of freedom is an exclusive value. It is important to note that the human factor does not matter. It's just a question of vocabulary. By definition, Freedom cannot depend on any other value. She must be Free, therefore alone.
If there is no evolution in human nature, it is because of its relationship with the value of freedom.

From fear of death to faith in Christ and commitment against injustice
The Media in 4-4-2 - Dec 11, 2023
Interview with Véronique Lévy
Our media had the pleasure of receiving Véronique Lévy on the occasion of the release of her book entitled Choir of flesh: The heart of the Church is a woman, published by Artège. In this interview, Véronique recounts her unusual story, from her childhood to her encounter with Christ and her baptism. While she viscerally fears the death that awaits each of us. To ward off this fear, she threw herself headlong into the pleasures of the world from the age of twelve, having multiple boyfriends and taking reckless risks. But his meeting with the Lord will change everything to the point of changing his heart of stone into a heart of flesh.
In this fascinating interview, Véronique Lévy also discusses her commitment against injustice towards the unvaccinated and confinement, as well as the delicate issue of abortion.

The Christmas Crib – Open letter
The Christmas Crib – Open letterProfession Gendarme - 09 Dec 2023
From Jean Pierre Santon
Dear Mr. Court,
A few days ago I learned of your decision to ban the Christmas nativity scene traditionally installed in the hall of the Vendée General Council.
What fly has stung you?
You have studied, I suppose. Perhaps you know that Christmas comes from the Latin “Natalis” which means Birth.
So I am going to tell you a secret that you will want to pass on to your colleagues who perhaps swim complacently in the same ignorance as you.
The birth in question is that of a certain Jesus of Nazareth born a little over 2000 years ago. I say that because since you didn't ban Christmas lights, I assume you didn't know that detail.
You see, Christmas is not the anniversary of the birth of Santa Claus (I'm sorry if I break a belief anchored in you here) but rather that of this Jesus. Banning a crèche without banning any public demonstration of this holiday is as stupid as if you authorized the andouillette festival while prohibiting the consumption of andouillette on the day of the andouillette festival.
The crèche is what we call a tradition. And do not make me believe, Mr. Court, that the principle of tradition is foreign to you. Otherwise how can we explain that magistrates exercise their profession in such a ridiculous costume if not because it is the result of a tradition?
[...]
