Behold the Madness of Unbelief

Unleashed Demons

Whenever a culture rejects the Lord Jesus Christ, it begins a relentless integration into the void.  One thing leads to another, as they say.  Liberties become an occasion for license; license generates libertinism.  It may take a few generations, but the void beckons and comes more and more close. 

Unbelief becomes so perverse that its stupidity and foolishness becomes unconscious to a perverse culture.  Here is but one example: a gym in a small town in Michigan adopts a gender policy entirely consistent with materialist secularism.  A male was found in female changing rooms.  Gym management said he had an absolute right to be there.  The woman who complained was barred from the gym.  How did this come about?  Duh.  The gym had a non-discrimination policy (of course). 

“Our gender identity non-discrimination policy states that members and guests may use all gym facilities based on their sincere self-reported gender identity,” the statement said. “The manner in which this member expressed her concerns about the policy exhibited behavior that management at the Midland club deemed inappropriate and disruptive to other members, which is a violation of the membership agreement and as a result her membership was cancelled.” [The Blaze]

So, the bloke was perfectly entitled to use the female changing rooms because he identified himself as a female. He had a "sincere self-reported gender identity."  Glad we got that clear.  Failure to respect that sincere self-identification process meant the presence of a deeper evil--DISCRIMINATION.


One may be tempted to think that this was just the nuttiness of a mentally challenged and ethically obtuse gym owner.  But the gym's non-discrimination policy had support.  The reasoning is both enlightening and consistent with the end-game of Unbelief--nihilistic self-destruction.

“He’s obviously not in there to get a woman, so I don’t see how it’s a problem,” argued one woman.

The madness of Unbelief is not just found in small-town Michigan.  It is rife in other places.  Take the UK:

A mother has helped her 24-year-old son become a father by carrying his child as a surrogate. In the procedure, the first of its kind, Anne-Marie Casson, 46, became pregnant using a donor egg fertilised by her son Kyle's sperm.

Kyle, gay and single, had wanted to be a father "for some considerable time". After surrogacy clinics across the country turned him away, and a female relative who had volunteered to be the carrier developed medical difficulties, Mrs Casson and her husband, Alan, decided she should step in and be the surrogate mother. A family court judge ruled the situation was "entirely lawful" and Kyle has been allowed to adopt the baby - his son but also, legally, his brother.  [Daily Telegraph]

The article goes on to argue that whilst this "case" is a first, there will be plenty of fast following cases.

Commercial surrogacy raises the prospect of a rent-a-womb industry spreading across the globe, involving young women who seek short-term motherhood for financial gain. Real, lifelong mothering, which engages with children as cherished beings rather than commercial assets, no longer fits in the marketplace of surrogate mummies.

But even when money is not involved, surrogacy raises concerns. Policy-makers, politicians and psychologists agree that the family is the building block of a flourishing society: it provides children with their first experience of identity and security, and their first lessons in right and wrong.

Our traditional notion of "the family" has been stretched to include cohabitation, divorce, step-parents and stepchildren, and gay marriage. Can it stretch further to encompass surrogacy cases where a mother and son have a baby together? Or does this endless manipulation in fact leave the family unit hollowed out, a meaningless husk rather than an inspiring template for all?

In the world of Unbelief, the "family" is now a meaningless concept.  It has been inflated to include two homosexual women living with a dog.

But God's truth does not change.  His law is eternal. The more deranged Unbelief becomes, the darker the night.  But in the darkness, the Truth shines more brightly.  The darkness will never be able to extinguish its light (John 1:5).  Once Unbelief appeared credible when it claimed that a society could reject the Lord Jesus Christ, but retain institutions like marriage and family.  Christian ethics did not require Christ.  That claim is now exposed as errant nonsense.  When a society rejects Christ, the demons are unleashed.  Welcome to the madness of Unbelief.
