Witnessing the On-going Collapse of Rationality and Morality Part I

“The suicide of civilization is in progress.  (C.P. Snow)

California Governor Jerry Brown just yesterday signed State Assembly Bill 1266, mandating that next year in public K-12 schools, transgenders be permitted the right "to participate in sex-segregated [athletic] programs and activities and facilities [including restrooms and showers] based on their self-perception (italics mine), regardless of their birth gender [or reproductive ‘equipment’]” (http://www. huffingtonpost.com/ 2013/08/12/california-transgender-students-bill-_n_3745337.html).  Such idiocy illustrates the downward trend toward the wholesale disintegration of both morality and rationality, into the pit of utter absurdity as the Apostle Paul warned in Romans 1: 22, “Claiming to be wise they became foolish (‘moronic’ in Greek).”  Paul’s words can no longer be considered empty warning, but observable reality.  In light of such darkness it is high time readers pay attention to the road ahead.  Do you approve of both the direction and the downward pitch of our present journey as a nation?  Do you not sense the logic that we are actually witnessing, which follows after the disregard for God, playing itself out before our eyes in unrelenting moral disillusion?  The current intellectual crisis alone is further heightened because it involves not merely political betrayal, but journalistic incompetence as well in the failure to challenge leaders on even the simplest of questions.

Doubtless dissenters will argue that there are bigger of issues facing our world, for example, “climate change,” a stalling economy, the increasing tension from the war on terrorism, or indeed the ecological  fallout from an asteroid (a hot news item in recent months).  And of course such events are very large and obvious in comparison, for example, to a tiny atom.  Yet in reality the ramifications following from altering the nature and state of a tiny atom is almost infinitely greater than the impact from any of the “large” entities just listed.  To the point, messing with fundamental core issues (specifically the nuclear family) is of far greater consequence than natural disasters that come and go.

The entire burden of the present sexuality agenda properly rests, not on traditionalists, but wholly on the shoulders of transgender activists to produce a single rational argument as to why priority should be granted to the expression of lust by exclusively one party at the expense all of others (“lust” is indeed the operative word since, regarding sexuality in general, every single person is called to the self-control of our sexual drives as opposed to following them irrespective of the cost to a non-consenting party).
