Every decade's worth of 50 somethings were and are convinced they represent the last generation of "true Scotsmen" who hold close to their hearts the dying virtues of a society on the brink of catastrophe, perhaps even the so called "end times" which makes zero sense if you understand anything about how time works. Our entire species has occupied . 01% of the entire history of this planet we pretend to own. The anxiety you behold in this topic is a product of enjoying a very temporary, narrow, ignorant window of a very robust and diverse history.

I agree that sexualising everything, especially children, is abhorrent. However I entirely reject your notion that being LGBTetc is unnatural or morally wrong. There are many very good, honest, caring people who live good lives, who do not corrupt or inflict their sexuality onto others. They just simply have a same sex, or other non-standard relationship. It is not unnatural, it is very human nature, as it is throughout the animal kingdom. We are, after all, mammals and only our ego makes us believe we are special. We are not.
This has happened forever, it's just how it is. It had to be done in secret in most places for a very long time, because of strict laws and doctrines forbidding it. Forcing people to live against their nature, forcing people to be in a miserable unhappy marriage they did not desire or ask for, on pain of imprisonment or death. How is this a good, fair way to treat people? Any society or religion that forces unhappiness on people in this manner is fundamentally rotten.
As for the sexualisation of children. Religions are notorious for grooming and abusing children, throughout every sect and denomination of every religion the planet. Corrupting and grooming children is not new to the woke. It has been around as long as society has.
What I wrote above equally applies to the woke left, and all they are doing too. I despise them more than I do the fundmental religious crowd. They are making life more difficult for those of us who just want to be left alone to live our lives in peace. Why can neither side live and let live?
beautiful post and thank you for taking the time

Yes, we are in the end times as far as I have been able to figure.
There's several prophesies in the bible that seem to put a timeline of 2000 years between the death of Jesus Christ and his first return of Matthew 24.
Per Matthew 25-14 he tell us this.
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
but in John 2 he told us this.
19Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21But he spake of the temple of his body.
BUT
2nd Peter 3-8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
3000 years but then Revelation 21 tell us this.
1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
22And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Jesus Christ told us it would be 3000 years from his death to New Jerusalem. So take off a thousand years for the reign of the saints and that means the Apocalypse should be over with 2000 years after his death. Roughly April of 2033.

The greatest magic the devil every accomplished was convincing the world he doesnt exist.
You can say what you want but there is NO DOUBT what is happening all around us, and its the SAME sort of thing that has brought down civilization after civilization back to the beginning
Denying that, and denying history clearly repeats itself is the hight of ignorance
But we know we know, youre always the smartest one in the room and youre absolutely always right, funny though when youre proven wrong you tend to abandon threads, why is that?
