Our Deeply Confused Ethical Sense

Saturday, October 4, 2025

Some days.  Read this, “I Spent 491 Days as a Hostage of Hamas. This Is My Story.”  Now contrast it with this, “Sarah Mullally named as new Archbishop of Canterbury.”  The later, published not long after the killings in Manchester makes passing reference to them, but then focuses on this person being the first Archbishop of Canterbury.  And so we see a church lost.  Confronted with direct, evident evil, the church focuses on far more trivial matters.

You get what is going on here don’t you?  The church no longer sees its mission as saving souls and ridding the world of evil, but as finding victims and somehow “balancing the scales.”  As if whatever prejudice women may or may not (depending on your point-of-view) have suffered is comparable to the killings in Manchester or hostage-taking horror that is Hamas.  But then some people think stay-at-home moms are fascists.  As the saying goes, garbage in, garbage out.  Which is why this matters a lot.

The church used to set directions for culture and society – now it slavishly follows them.

And Now, Elsewhere…

From the science fiction of your nightmares.  I have no idea who funds this research, but see above.

Want to oppose something? – create an environmental issue.  But then that has fueled the environmental industry for decades.  Like I have said many times – follow the money.

There has to be some commonsense in our environmental policy which is why this is very good news – and this is more scare mongering.

In closing – this is the funniest, perhaps most brilliant advertising I have seen in a very long time.
