Isaiah 5:18-21:
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, And sin as if with a cart rope; That say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work, That we may see it; And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, That we may know it.”
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!
I think that's how porn became legal, it was considered 'free speech' or something. IT should be banned as an obscenity.
Post title really hits home. Accurately describes almost 100% of the normie "news" that consistently gets pumped out to the public these days.
Going against the government narrative is blasphemy, because they act like a religious cult.
HARD disagree. If you have to resort to censorship, you're the bad guy, plain and simple. With the exception of exploitation, bad ideas are simply defeated with better ideas. And also, this post is PAINFULLY misleading. You can't even say the "n-word" on this site let alone anywhere else. And most racial slurs are socially unacceptable. While I personally think no words should be socially unacceptable, I am also aware that having OPTONAL standards and adhering to specific community guidelines is necessary.
But this blatant, intellectually dishonest perspective is still wrong. Regulating ANY speech for any reason is dangerous. Labeling something "blasphemous" is no different than "hate speech". I am all for encouraging better, modest behavior, but it needs to come from a position of respect and accepting that not everyone is going to abide by YOUR standards or way of life.
The religious right had control of the culture and they abused that control. Things got out of hand because religious fundamentalists behaving no different than the Branch Covidians tried to use their power to control the masses and the masses resisted. Again... if you have to resort to censorship, it's cause your idea sucks.
Yes, we will disagree on this. Obscenity has always been against the law, for good reason.
Yes, that is always a concern. But in a general sense it's been the last days since the Resurrection, the beginning of the Church Age, and there's been no shortage of mislabeling good and evil down through the millennia. As the real end point comes, it should only get worse. And even now, it can get MUCH worse.
People have drawn passive attitudes from verses like this, but I believe that is not what Scripture commands. We are to keep fighting, as the promise is that the gates of hell will not prevail against us. The worse thing is to sit around and do nothing when we could have won, or even if we can't win, at least we can save and help some people. We must fight on, and fight to win.
