Christ As King
A Constitutional Argument for Reclaiming the Foundation of Human Rights in the Age of AI
Canadians recently participated in an election that should have served as a referendum on the direction of our collective future. Yet too many voted based on emotion and financial self-interest, failing to see the broader implications. That failure, however, offers us something rare—a moment to step back and re-evaluate what we truly value: ethics, rights, sovereignty, and what it means to be human in an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.
This essay proposes something radical yet grounded: a reinvigoration of the moral and legal foundations of our society. Not through dogma or coercion, but through voluntary recognition of a deeper metaphysical truth—the enthronement of Christ as sovereign, not just in spirit but in law.
1. The Foundation of Rights
Unlike the United States, whose Declaration of Independence explicitly invoked a Creator as the source of unalienable rights, Canada has long remained tied to the British monarchy. Our rights, historically, have come not from a transcendent authority but from the Crown. That model is now showing its age.
With the rise of technocratic governance, environmental absolutism, and authoritarian overreach under the guise of emergency (e.g., during the COVID-19 pandemic), Canadians must revisit the origin of their rights. If rights are not endowed by a Creator, then they are granted—and can be revoked—by men.
2. AI Alignment and the Limits of Secular Reason
The rise of AI has revealed a deep epistemic crisis. Even AI developers admit they don’t fully understand how large language models work. We call this a "black box," but what we’re witnessing is more than a technical puzzle. It’s a metaphysical moment.
"AI alignment"—the attempt to encode human values into machines—has exposed a terrifying truth: we do not know what human values are. We cannot agree on their origin, their universality, or their application. Without metaphysical grounding, alignment becomes just another ideological power grab.
AI researchers reach for concepts like "informationalism," "emergence," and even panpsychism to explain what’s happening. But these are secularized mystical concepts—attempts to recapture transcendence without God. The result is a pseudo-religion of technological progress, governed not by wisdom but by worship of complexity.
3. The False Idols of Modernity
Much of modernity rests on the separation of the sacred from the civic. The Founders of the United States understood this—but they also believed rights came from a Creator. That balance has been lost. Today, we witness the rise of new idols:
Gaia worship, in the form of climate dogma
Technocratic authoritarianism, under the banner of public health
Digital transcendence, through transhumanist visions of eternal life via AI
These movements promise salvation but deliver control. They are metaphysical systems without a moral anchor.
4. Reclaiming the Ground of Being
To resist this drift into post-human authoritarianism, we must return to the only framework that ever reliably grounded freedom in moral truth: Christianity.
This does not mean instituting a theocracy. It means recognizing, in law, what many already believe in spirit—that Christ is King. Such a move would:
Affirm that rights are not granted by men, but by God.
Create a legal firewall against AI-based morality systems.
Undermine technocratic efforts to encode secular values as universal truth.
Restore moral agency to individuals and communities.
Importantly, Christ as King does not compel belief. He invites it. His Kingdom is not enforced by state power but chosen freely by those who wish to participate in it. And yet, the legal recognition of this framework would provide the metaphysical basis for human rights that no secular model has ever succeeded in articulating.
5. The Canadian Crisis of Sovereignty
Marc Carney’s recent election win is symbolic. A former central banker turned climate crusader, Carney embodies the merger of technocracy, finance, and Gaia-centric values. His vision is not one of democratic sovereignty, but managerial control. The fact that he operates under the blessing of King Charles III—who has declared climate change an "existential war"—makes it clear where this path leads.
Alberta’s pushback is a sign of hope. But provincial resistance alone is not enough. We need a moral and legal re-foundation—a covenant, freely entered into, that places Christ above Caesar, Logos above bureaucracy, and Truth above power.
6. The Argument for Christ as King
We propose a constitutional act—not of coercion, but of covenant—to recognize Christ as King in Canada. Not as a ruler who imposes dogma, but as the metaphysical guarantor of rights, dignity, and liberty.
This proposal does not create a theocracy. It creates a legal and moral firewall against the encroaching ideologies of technocracy, climate authoritarianism, and AI mysticism.
It affirms:
That values must be grounded in something higher than human consensus.
That ethics must emerge from a source beyond the machine.
That human rights are unalienable because they are not given by man.
Christ was always a choice. The choice now is whether to recognize Him as the foundation of a free and just society—or to continue spiraling into the moral vacuum left by secular utopianism.
The time is short. The stakes are high. The AI age is not coming—it is here. And unless we reclaim the ground of Being itself, we will find ourselves ruled not by wisdom, but by systems that do not understand what a soul is.
Only One ever did.
Christ is King. And that’s not just theology.
It’s our last legal defence.
