The arrogance of know-it-all Jad C. Farra aka Jeem Apologetics

(I know I wanted to stop writing about such people, though another one caught my attention when I was looking at some Quran vs Bible “debates” – the net, YouTube especially, is a giant waste of time.)

This Jeem Apologetics character – his name is Jad C. Farra, I think – is another arrogant guy and know-it-all.

First off, he is from the Middle East or so which is readily apparent; he seem to be Orthodox and connected to Jay Dyer, who is, as I wrote above, also very arrogant.

(2024-09-30: he is lebanese, as he told Adam Green.)

In one clip I saw with Jay Dyer, he was introduced with some awful rap/hip hop (seriously?) music and clips of himself, which seems rather narcissistic. This was already off-putting.

I do reject the attempt of people to enforce their theology onto me; Vox Day also thinks that theology is boring since in this realm, we hardly understand and cannot know much about such matters anyway.

He therefore did not want to take part in any discussion with Jay Dyer back when this moronic loudmouth The Kurgan aka Giuseppe Filotto wanted to debate his sedevacantism position.

First off, muslims do not need to be “debated”, most have to go back. Christendom did not debate theology with the Ottomans or Moors either. While the situation today is different, it is simply impossible and a waste of time given the millions of them that are already living in the West.

In the late 19th century, only .7 to .8 per-cent in Germany were Jewish – which already led to tensions!

In one of Jeem’s videos about gnosticism I only watched for five or so minutes (was too far-fetched), he rather arrogantly notes that it is not the Jewish people who are at fault that you can’t have a job or wife; adding that he was in that boat, too.

To this I answer that this is only partly true; I made clear on these pages that I, like Job, hate my life. A wife or job is nothing I want, I live on a disability income, thank you. It would not change my life because my mind is tortured daily by being different from most people – cf. Kierkegaard’s life and his suffering. While I don’t have his intellectual gifts, the taedium vitae he suffered I suffer from myself.

Further, while some go overboard with their accusations regarding the Jewish people, it is an easily established fact that even if we took into account a mean IQ of 115 for the Ashkenazi Jews – way too high, as Vox Day pointed out – they would still be overrepresented.

Regarding nepotism, Jeem said arrogantly hate to break it to you, most people are: this is way too simplistic and already a reason for not listening to the rest, especially since he simply accuses the Greeks!

The Jews certainly are a people set apart due to the fact that they did not have a homeland for such a long time: and yet survived. This cannot be said about the Vandals that partly migrated into North Africa and southwest Asia, where they mixed with the local population. Even the Amerindians did not survive in such numbers, many are thoroughly mixed.

The same can be said about the British. After all, why did they conquer half the world? The Chinese could have, too, but refrained, to give an example.

Clearly, ethnic differences in a plethora of traits, including nepotism and intelligence, exist and cannot be denied.

The Japanese also suffer from a decadent society, and there hardly are any immigrants. Still, simply saying it is the Greeks and their philosophy is to be rejected as well. His attempt to point to Satan – if I got him right – does not completely invalidate observations about certain groups. (For Gómez Dávila even, in every reactionary Plato becomes alive.)

His claim that the scholastics were gnostic is wrong and to be rejected. Even though I don’t like Aquinas that much, they depended on God and did not want to get to salvation by themselves (or however he phrased it.) I don’t like scholasticism much, nor do I read many of the Church fathers because often enough it is rather uninteresting.

The thirst for knowledge itself is not gnosticism; he says this using technology that exists because of the West’s knowledge acquisition. He even lives in the West but is of foreign ancestry.

One reason for why Europe is so different certainly has to do with its people; a higher mean IQ as well as being less docile in general led to the greatest civilizations that ever existed. Which Christendom even topped, even surpassing the ancient Romans and Greeks.

For Vox Day, the three pillars of the West are the Greco-Roman legacy, the European people and Christianity. I don’t see how this is not the case. Neither can I reject – to paraphrase Vox Day again – the statement that either the West returns to Christianity again or it will be ruled by demons. There is no Plan B.

I remember when someone asked {LWhich one of the countless denominations will it be?R}, he responded with something like “the one that aligns best with the above” or so. Maybe Jeem is well-meaning, I don’t know. I can’t stomach the arrogance online anymore.

It is all well and good to dismantle atheism. Why, though, the focus, as Christians!, on certain Protestant or Catholic stances? After all, even here, I think Vox Day’s attitude is more mature: he does not get involved much in such discussion, he simply banned people who engaged in such debates with the simple and effective comment that Catholics should first throw out their pope before lecturing Protestants.

Enough of my waffle! I’ll end again with quoting one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century, if not one of the most interesting ones of all time: - Nicolás Gómez Dávila:

The evolution of Christian dogma is less evident than the evolution of Christian theology.
We Catholics with little theology believe, in the end, the same thing as the first slave who converted in Ephesus or Corinth.

The problem is not sexual repression, nor sexual liberation, but sex.

Unless circumstances constrain him, there is no radically leftist Jew.
The people that discovered divine absolutism does not make deals with the absolutism of man.

Scholasticism sinned by seeking to turn the Christian into a know-it-all.
The Christian is a skeptic who trusts in Christ.

Even for Buddhist compassion, the individual is only a shadow that vanishes.
The dignity of the individual is a Christian cast made out of Greek clay.

Christianity, when it abolishes its ancient liturgical languages, degenerates in to strange, uncouth sects.
Once contact is broken with Greek and Latin antiquity, once its medieval and patristic inheritance is lost, any simpleton turns into its exegete.
