If the Truth Shall Kill Them, Let Them Die
The Moral Collapse of a Truthless Society
Chris’ quote on his new strike, If the Truth Shall Kill Them, Let them Die, has been attributed to Immanuel Kant but there is no documented proof that he wrote, or spoke, those words. It is therefore more accurately attributed to Ayn Rand, who wrote the words to summarize Kant’s philosophy about man’s duty to live a truthful life despite the consequences.

Kant argued this point in his essay, “On a Supposed Right to Lie for Philanthropic Motives”, where he concludes that man’s integrity must be based on adhering to the truth, whether it seems fair or not, and that it is also a sacred duty for all men to abide by that divine directive.
We know from past experience, that humanity cannot live freely, productively or peacefully without embracing biblical truth as defined, and directed, by our Creator. World history has shown us, time and time again, that Kant’s reflections are based in fact. The truth must prevail no matter what the consequences because without man’s adherence to the truth, he is doomed to suffer from demented delusions. When the public’s understanding of right and wrong is distorted, disordered or countermanded, chaos ensues and mankind sinks into the abyss of deviance, deception and destruction.
Sometimes the devious, and underhanded, efforts of those who wish to reverse the concept of what truth truly means, while espousing that good as evil and evil as good, is subtle and can take decades to be fully implemented. This was the case with America’s astoundingly patient, but nonetheless, scheming socialist/communist academics. But, the Covid-19 pandemic brought their brainwashing efforts to light as parents watched what was being taught to their children remotely. This pushed many parents to loudly object to the lies their children were being taught.

But the battle has just begun, as we continue to witness just how pernicious academia’s hateful rhetoric has been, while recently watching the increasing level of physical violence against good and innocent people all across the country.
Some people want to blame the internet for this rise in irrational violence, but these troubled young people wouldn’t be susceptible to the internet’s influence if they weren’t, as innocent children, originally indoctrinated to reject biblical truth by socialist/communist teachers. This is also what happens when you ban school prayer. Evil fills the void.
The devil is as frenetically active now as he was during other segments of America’s past, as is exemplified by the needless assassination of good Charlie Kirk by a demented evil-doer. We are once again living through the psychotic destructive violence that existed in the 1960s because people, for decades, have failed to protect and promulgate the truth. They stopped taking their kids to church too, which just added fuel to the fire.
Sadly, our country is currently suffering through similarly chaotic times once again, just as did Thomas Paine in his time. His words are just as prophetic as they were 250 years ago when he wrote the opening line for his 1776 booklet, “Common Sense”, “These are the times that try men’s souls”. In today's world… that seems a colossal understatement. That momentous time in our history, during the initiation of the American Revolution, required not only agreed upon biblical truthseekers, but enormous courage and resolve to defeat the British liars who sought to subjugate the American colonists.
We are repeating history again because, just as was the case during the 18th century, people living in America have failed to recognize the evil that was surrounding them. Many colonists refused to acknowledge the oppressive nature of British rule and many shied away from confronting the evil inflicted on Americans by England.
Thankfully, we were saved from the British purveyors of oppression, by a handful of courageous, God-fearing men, who were to become America’s Founding Fathers. When the truth seemed to fail them, they fought harder to preserve it. They risked everything to annihilate the liars who were oppressing them, and courageously wrote in their Declaration of Independence, “And for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our Fortunes and our sacred honor.”
Truth be told…those truthseekers, purveyors of the truth and truthtellers of old, whose lives were defined by the gospel truth, are still here.
We simply have to unleash their ferocity once again and then stand back and watch the fireworks.
"If the truth shall kill them, let them die." This bold declaration echoes through history, philosophy, and faith—reminding us that truth isn’t just a concept, it’s a moral duty. In today’s upside-down world of deception and delusion, now more than ever, we must stand firm and let truth do its work—whatever the cost.
