Dear friend,
I just celebrated the third birthday of my daughter, Margaret.
The occasion made me contemplate my role as a father.
Those thoughts culminated in this letter for my daughter which I now share with you (below).
Until next time, God bless you, your family and nation.
Take care,
George Christensen
Dear Margaret,
You’ve just turned three, my little love.
And what a big bad world awaits you.
As your daddy, I sometimes get very worried about your future in that world.
But I know that worry needs to take second place to action, not just to protect you, but to ensure you can protect yourself from it.
And it troubles me that for the first 8 months of your young life that I wasn’t there to protect you.
You see, governments of the world — including the Australian Government — shut down their nation’s borders when your mother and I were in separate countries.
If that wasn’t bad enough, when you were born, your mother desperately needed transfusions and the lockdowns in your country of birth caused there to be no available blood supplies.
It could’ve ended up with you alone there, without a mum or dad. Thankfully, Providence decided otherwise.
Your mother survived and, when you eventually came to Australia, I was finally able to hold you in my arms.
Now that we have been together for years, I feel the weight of the burden that the Almighty has placed upon me, which is to ensure you’re protected, that you’re raised right, that you’re taught the Faith, and that you have the tools and know-how to navigate that big bad world which I spoke about earlier.
Not that you’re a burden! Far from it.
The reality is that (like right now!) I get sad being away from you, even if much of my time at home is spent being “busy” — a word that I know you’ve grown to dislike (and a word I hate to use with you).
But I have to tell you, I’m busy for a reason.
It’s the same reason I get worried about your future.
You see, there are too many threats to you, your freedom, your privacy, your body, and even your mind. I feel it is my job to help in the fight against those threats.
To combat the threats to your mind, I will be a teacher to you, and protect you from the modern school system which has become nothing more than an indoctrination machine for the leftist and globalist zeitgeist.
I do not want you subjected to classroom propaganda that promotes gender confusion, racial division, and anti-humanism in the guise of environmentalism.
That’s why I’ve invested heavily in home education resources that follow the classical style of education.
I also firmly believe that if you are imbued with the fundamentals of classical education — grammar, logic, and rhetoric — you will be able to recognise, take on and destroy the fallacies that are thrown up in the world today.
I mean fallacies like claims that a man can be a woman.
Fallacies like claims that a gene therapy injection with no long-term safety data behind it can somehow be “safe and effective”.
Fallacies like claims that government is your saviour, but truly believing in Christ is some form of near domestic terrorism.
Speaking of which, Faith will be important for you going into the future.
The modern world wants to inculcate you into the cult of consumerism, of wokery, of climate change, and/or of self.
All of these things are false religions, but behind them is a real belief system — Satanism.
I don’t use that word lightly.
Anything that seeks to supplant God as the centre of our lives and replace it with something else is Satanic.
This is why I’ve bought you children’s bibles, why I say prayers with you at night, and why I talk about Jesus with you.
These foundations will hopefully lead to a deeper understanding of Christ, one that enables you to seek union with Him as much as us mere mortals can seek, and also one that enables you to pass the Faith on to your children, if family life is the life you choose.
(Your daddy likes to joke that you won’t have any boyfriends but will join an order of nuns!)
But I think the most important thing I can do as a father is to tell you how much I love you, tell you that you are beautiful, and help you see your worth as a person and a child of God.
That way, the wolves that may seek you out as you mature may find it difficult to lure you into traps, whether those wolves be lustful men, corporate swindlers, or political conmen.
The reality is that neither meaningless sex, nor gold, nor safety, nor indeed power can be a true replacement for real love.
And real love is something that you will always have from me, unconditionally, in this life and the next.
I love you,
Your Daddy.
