Tom Facchine – Is Patrick Bet-David On To Something

			You know, some people who believe in this sort of idea of the great replacement or lesser versions
of it, right? That's like, you know, Muslims are threatening Western civilization because, you know,
we're out reproducing them. And eventually the United States might become a Muslim country or Europe
might become a Muslim Peninsula. You know, these are sorts of scare tactics, right? But they neglect
the metaphysical reality. They're only focused on a very, very narrow physical reality like such as
birth rates of population control, and these sorts of things. But what's more interesting and more
significant is what's going on in people's hearts. Right? So people who are concerned about these
		

			things should ask themselves, why are people leaving Christianity, even if all you know, the
nominally Christian, people started reproducing at much higher rates, right, it wouldn't help
Christianity, because Christianity metaphysically is getting, you know, figuratively speaking,
slaughtered by the modern episteme of science and scientific knowledge and rationality and all these
sorts of things, you know, much less set up to deal with enlightenment reasoning and post
enlightenment philosophy than Islam is, and that has political historical reasons like going back to
the church and their sort of antagonism with science and scientism, and scientific discovery, I
		

			should say that Islam just doesn't have that baggage, right? And so on one hand, you have to account
for why are Christians leaving Christianity and mass, which is proven by data? And then why are
people embracing us? Now, that's the second thing that you have to account for. And it's true, a lot
of people point out that a lot of the gains that Islam makes when it comes to converts is offset by
you know, the people who leave Islam when coming to the secular West. And that is that is true.
However, it doesn't change the fact that a ton of people are converting to Islam. And you have to
ask yourself, why. And so rather than get fixated on the physical reality of Yeah, okay, well, I
		

			guess the strategy is to, you know, make more babies. Is that really what we're talking about here?
What about finding out what's true? What about trying to interrogate? Why is this sort of theology
not satisfactory to people? Why is this institution and it's not just a monolith, but the idea of
the church so ambivalent to people and why are people attracted and interested in Islam? That's the
right question.
