On Gabriel Attal and others assuming places of prominence, parading their "proclivities" for all to intentionally force the populations to not only accept, but to celebrate their practices and to accord them some kind of hero's status for their boldness and defiance of civilized norms:
And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority… But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray…These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 2 Peter 2:3-10; 12-15a; 17-19
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble. Proverbs 4:18-19
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God. John 3:19-21
The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Romans 13:12
On A.I.:
It is a false god, which is part of a false religion, that seeks to create an idol made with hands that is greater than its fallen makers. It cannot produce good, only varying shades of a declining "norm" driven by psychopaths who seek to substitute the synthetic, the digital, the revisionist aspirations of avaricious, empire building tyrants and since the input is flawed, the exponential error of the output will be so significant it will overshadow any possible "virtue" aspired to in its existence. It will eventually deem humankind (as we are) unnecessary and a nuisance since it will lack compassion, ethics and a moral basis upon which any acquired or "evolved" wisdom can be applied judiciously. The frigidity of cold, poorly programmed logic and the best "data" composites that can be (selectively) used to "train" it will only produce the most ruthless and unyielding of outcomes.
On B.S.:
It proliferates in a society where all standards, reference points and values have been jettisoned in favor of relativity and an ever-degrading sense of "right" and "wrong". Absent any absolute, only the worst of us will be manifest, especially in the public arena, but also in our deepest thoughts and desires -- which will have been corrupted as well in the absence of understanding that the world, society, human relationships are governed by absolutes built in the created world that will produce consequences that no amount of denial or propagandized misdirection can overcome.
