Paraphrasing Isaiah 30:9-14 in rebuttal to what this thread illustrates so clearly.
For these are a rebellious people, people who delight in being deceived, people unwilling to listen to foundational truth.
They say to the Watchmen warning of consequences, “shut up with your negative nabobbery!†and to the Principled, “Give us no more lectures of what is right!
Tell us only pleasant things, foretell only the glorious illusions we wholeheartedly believe in, tell us lies our itching ears demand to hear!"
"Shove your stupid morality and purity! Get off your path and high horse, and stop confronting us with Conservative truths and biblical morality.â€
Therefore this is what the lessons of history, human nature and the Divine Governor of the Universe teach:
Because this nation and people rejected the warnings, despised the message, trusted in perversion and depended on deceit, our follies and evil are become for our nation like a high wall, cracked and bulging, that collapses suddenly, in an instant. It will break in pieces like glass, shattered so mercilessly that among its pieces not a fragment will be found but ashes."
