The Kingdom of Light: Rejecting Evil, Embracing Truth

“so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.”

Romans 3:19

Thesis: Integrating Objectivism and Christian Theology—Rejecting Evil, Embracing Truth, and Living Powerfully

At the heart of this thesis lies a rejection of Kantian skepticism, which asserts that humanity can never truly know reality as it is. This skepticism has devastated both secular and religious spheres, undermining confidence in truth, morality, and justice. In the secular world, it has crippled science and ethics, breeding a culture of gaslighting that shields tyrants and criminals from accountability. In religion, it has severed believers from the certainty needed to pursue justice, leaving them vulnerable to abuse and manipulation. By integrating Ayn Rand’s Objectivism and Christian theology, we uncover a worldview that restores confidence in reason, aligns with the truth, and empowers individuals to act in love and justice.

This thesis centers on three key truths:

God is Existence: All reality is rooted in God’s being.
Christ is Logic: Truth and reason are personified in Christ, the Logos.
The Holy Spirit is Joy: The joy of aligning with reality and living in love flows from the Spirit.

By embracing these truths, we reject the belief in evil, overcome the paralyzing effects of skepticism, and live powerfully in alignment with reality.

The Consequences of Kantian Skepticism

Kantian skepticism—the idea that we cannot know reality “as it is”—has had devastating effects in both secular and religious spheres.

1. Secular Paralysis

In the secular world, skepticism has dismantled confidence in reason and truth, leading to the erosion of science, morality, and justice. This has created a vacuum for tyrants and criminals to operate without meaningful resistance. Gaslighting—the systematic undermining of an individual’s confidence in their own perceptions and conclusions—has become a primary tool of these oppressors.

Gaslighting serves to:

Make victims doubt their experiences, ensuring they do not seek justice.
Paralyze truth-tellers by making them question their observations.
Protect perpetrators by shifting the burden of proof onto victims.

Consider how this operates in society:

Victims of systemic abuse are labeled as “hysterical” or “conspiratorial.”
Critics of unjust financial or political systems are dismissed as “radicals.”
Entire populations are silenced by the fear of being wrong or ostracized.

This skepticism and gaslighting create a world where power structures remain unchallenged, and truth becomes elusive. Tyrants like Jeffrey Epstein thrive in this culture of confusion, exploiting a society too timid to confront evil.

2. Religious Complicity

In religious contexts, skepticism undermines the certainty required to resist abuse. Statements like, “Who are we to question God’s chosen leaders?” or, “You can’t be sure of your own interpretation of scripture,” gaslight believers into submission. This mindset protects abusive leaders and enables scandals like the Catholic Church’s priestly abuse crisis and evangelical sexual misconduct scandals.

Religious gaslighting:

Erodes the confidence of congregants, making them fear their own perceptions.
Shields corrupt leaders by framing dissent as disobedience.
Ensures that institutions prioritize power and control over truth and love.

This gaslighting reflects the spirit of the anti-Christ—the irrational anti-logic warned about in scripture. It replaces Christ, the Logos (truth and logic), with confusion, fear, and control.

Evil Does Not Exist: The Spirit of Anti-Logic

The belief in evil as an independent, powerful force is a lie. Evil, like a lie, is not a substance but an absence—a distortion of the good. It only “exists” when we believe in it.

When scripture warns of the anti-Christ, it speaks of an anti-logic—a force that denies truth, severs individuals from reality, and thrives on deception. Statements like this are emblematic of that spirit:

"Why would God not reveal himself in a more obvious way? Are you worthy to judge God? Who are we to require anything of Him?"

Such rhetoric is not humility; it is gaslighting. It undermines confidence in reason and discourages the pursuit of justice, ensuring that abuse and oppression go unchecked. This anti-logic is the hallmark of the anti-Christ, as Paul warned:

"The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie." (2 Thessalonians 2:9)

Evil thrives on this lie. Those who believe in evil empower it through their fear and submission. Those who reject evil and embrace truth strip it of its influence.

Integrating Objectivism and Theology

Ayn Rand’s Objectivism and Christian theology converge in their affirmation of reality, reason, and love:

God is Existence: All that is real flows from God’s being. Reality itself is good.
Christ is Logic: Truth, reason, and logic are personified in Christ, the Logos.
The Holy Spirit is Joy: The alignment of our lives with truth and love produces joy and power.

This integration rejects Kantian skepticism and reclaims confidence in truth. It restores the ability to act decisively in the face of injustice and to live boldly in love and reason.

Practical Implications

Reject Evil and Gaslighting: Recognize that evil is a lie. Do not allow gaslighting to sever your confidence in truth or your pursuit of justice.
Align with Reality: Trust in God as existence, Christ as logic, and the Spirit as joy. Live in alignment with truth, rejecting irrationality and fear.
Act Boldly in Love: Faith and action are inseparable. Boldly resist injustice and speak truth, knowing that love and reason are your guide.

To Those Hurt by the Church or Secular Institutions

If you’ve been betrayed by the institutions you trusted—whether religious or secular—you’re not alone. Many of us have experienced the pain of seeing the structures we relied upon weaponize power to silence us, sever our confidence in reason, and perpetuate harm.
I know what it’s like to be disillusioned. In 2012, I resigned from Capitol Hill Baptist Church (CHBC) under the leadership of Mark Dever. I was deeply disturbed by what I witnessed: a subtle but calculated effort to sever the minds of members from their moral agency. Mark and the elders encouraged members to distrust their own observations and rely solely on the "authority" of the elders—a mechanism that shielded them from criticism and accountability. It was only years later that I understood why this ethos was so pervasive: it was a cover, a way to suppress dissent while enabling abuse scandals like those involving CJ Mahanney and Sovereign Grace Ministries.
For 12 years, I lived as an atheist, convinced that Christianity itself was the problem. The God I had encountered at CHBC—a God who demanded blind submission, excused injustice, and left no room for reason or logic—was not a God worthy of worship. Now I see clearly: the God of CHBC was not the God of reality. It was a false god, a god of deception, a god that empowered abusers and silenced victims. That god was Satan, the Father of Lies.
The same deception operates in secular institutions. Governments built on lies, fiat currency, and usury are not governments at all—they are kingdoms of darkness. Their power is derived from fear and manipulation, not truth or justice. These institutions, like abusive churches, thrive on severing individuals from their capacity to think and act independently.

The Unearned Debt of Modern Churches and Economies

The modern church and the modern economy have more in common than we often realize. Both are trying to collect unearned debt, just as the ancient Pharisees did during Jesus' day, and just as the devil has been trying to do throughout history. This unearned debt is nothing less than a demand for something that does not belong to them, extracted through lies, manipulation, and fear.
Consider the Pharisees. They burdened the people with laws they did not follow themselves (Matthew 23:4), demanded obedience without offering understanding, and sought to preserve their own power at the expense of truth and justice. When Jesus confronted them, He declared, “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.” (Matthew 23:13)
Their system was not about righteousness; it was about control. They demanded payment for debts they had no right to collect—debts of guilt, fear, and obedience to their corrupt authority.
Today, many churches act like modern-day Pharisees, collecting unearned debt. They demand submission, loyalty, and even financial tithes under the guise of spiritual authority, often without offering truth, reason, or accountability in return. Worse still, they gaslight their members into believing that questioning their authority is equivalent to questioning God Himself.
This is not the God of the Bible. The true God does not demand blind obedience; He invites reason, relationship, and love. When churches sever people from their minds and moral agency, they are no longer serving God—they are serving the Father of Lies.
Similarly, the modern economy operates on the same principle: collecting unearned debt. Fiat currency, fractional reserve banking, and usury are tools of a system that demands payment for something that was never real to begin with. Banks and governments create money out of nothing, lend it at interest, and demand repayment in labor, land, and resources. This is not wealth creation; it is theft disguised as finance.

My Journey to Freedom

I grew up in a trailer in Alabama, surrounded by poverty and the systemic oppression that debt creates. I clawed my way out, earning $550,000 a year as a top sales consultant. But in 2023, I realized that the system I was succeeding in was built on lies. I saw the same patterns of deception I had witnessed at CHBC: power structures designed to exploit, silence, and control.
So I walked away. I quit my job, defaulted on $1.25 million in debt, and began dismantling the illusion of financial control. My credit score dropped from 760 to 341, but I was finally free. At the heart of my movement is a simple truth: any contract secured with a lie, or a claim not backed by anything real (like the U.S. dollar and debt), cannot be enforced. Those who attempt to collect on such fraudulent contracts are committing crimes and are liable to RICO charges for perpetuating a system built on deception.
Now, I’m rallying others to join me. Through my movement, I’ve created RICO documents that expose the fraudulent nature of debt and empower people to fight back legally. Over 2,000 people have downloaded these documents, representing the potential to dismantle $80 billion in derivatives damage. This isn’t just about rebellion; it’s about justice.

A Call to Truth and Reason

For those hurt by the church or the state, I want to tell you something I’ve learned: logic and governance—like Christ and His kingdom—are within us. The kingdom of God is not found in corrupt institutions or deceptive leaders. It is found in truth, in love, and in the courage to act according to reason.
The God of abusive churches and oppressive governments is not the God of the Bible. Christ is the Logos—the internal logic of the universe—and He calls us to live boldly in alignment with reality. It took me 12 years to see this. I wish I had known it when I first left CHBC.
To those who have felt betrayed, I want you to know this: the God who loves you is not the God of those abusive systems. The real God is a God of truth, a God who empowers you to think, act, and live in freedom. Christ said, “The kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21). Don’t let anyone sever you from that truth.
Prepare yourself for the collapse of these deceptive systems—spiritually, mentally, and practically. Gather food, fuel, and supplies. Protect your family. Warn as many people as you can. The lights of the world’s major cities are about to go out, but this is not the end. It is the beginning of freedom for those who embrace the truth.
Together, we can dismantle the principalities of darkness and usher in the kingdom of light. Reject the lies. Embrace the truth. Live boldly in reason, justice, and love.

Conclusion: The Kingdom of Light

The belief in evil and the embrace of Kantian skepticism have crippled both secular and religious societies, allowing tyranny and abuse to thrive. By rejecting these lies and embracing the truth of reality, reason, and love, we align ourselves with the power of God—the only true power in existence.

This is not a call to utopia or blind obedience but to practical self-governance, rooted in truth and love. It is a call to build the kingdom of light, where confusion and fear are replaced by clarity and courage, and where the lies of evil crumble before the power of truth.

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
