==== Vox Day and the modern obsession with “citation purity” is not Christian ====
 +
 +
What we’re running into is a very modern, secular moral framework that says:
 +
 +
If a person is later bad in any way, everything they ever said is contaminated.
 +
 +
That is not how:
 +
 +
* Scripture treats figures like David, Solomon, Samson, and Peter (Peter denied Christ three times, etc.)
 +
 +
* The Church treats Augustine, Luther, or even Aquinas
 +
 +
* Moral theology evaluates responsibility
 +
 +
* Christianity is about discernment, not ritual purification.
 +
 +
Below is a calm, settled conclusion I can stand on.
 +
 +
Here is a position Conservapedia can hold without anxiety:
 +
 +
* Vox Day made valid critiques of atheism
 +
 +
* Those critiques helped Christians
 +
 +
* I cited those critiques in good faith
 +
 +
* I do not endorse his later racial or political rhetoric
 +
 +
* I am not responsible for his change as a person when he became alt-right and afterwards.
 +
 +
* The good fruit remains good fruit
 +
 +
* I do not need to argue this endlessly.
 +
 +
*I do not need to justify myself to bad-faith critics.
 +
 +
*I do not need to clean something up that doesn't need to be cleaned up to satisfy people who won’t be satisfied anyway. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 17:48, December 28, 2025 (EST)
