Monday Morning Madness -- Or How to Survive Living in an Insane and Hypocritical Culture!

I'm trying to decide whether my "mad"ness is rage or insanity! Why am I "mad?" Lots of reasons. Here's one, Robert Knight's article describing how Utah has passed a ban on counseling for those who want help to deal with same sex attraction/gender dysphoria in a way that leads them to accept the sex they were born with.

Too bad, kid, NO CHOICE FOR YOU! Go to a the "quacks who insist that no one can ever 'go straight' or even try."

Dems' un-American agenda appeases LGBTQ community

Here's a snippet from the article:
The “ban” tramples client self-determination and parents’ rights and misrepresents reparative therapy, which opponents redubbed “conversion therapy” to make it sound scary. Advocates deploy false scenarios of “shock therapy” while suppressing reparative success stories easily accessed at RestoredHopeNetwork.org and other sites.
Yup...we live in a mad, mad, mad, mad world!

And then there's the "Rubber Maid Lonely Hearts Club."

Sexbots, Robots, Neural Networks, Weird Oriental Games, and the Spores of Skynet

At least I laughed when I read that one. When you're walking around in an X-rated Wonderland, the landscape can trip you up and hit your funny bone. But it's pretty creepy. Here's a bit:
Now we come to artificial intelligence, which recently has gotten screwy. AI now uses neural networks that imitate the human brain. I read about them decades ago in a book by a girl I knew who worked for Hecht-Nielsen Neurocomputers. I didn’t think neural nets would ever amount to much. This showed that I wasn’t the most radioactive isotope in the periodic table, because they are now a Big Deal. 
See, with normal programming you start with, say, A equals pi-r-squared, and then you get lots of radii and calculate areas. In AI, you start with a million areas and calculate the formula. It’s like starting with answers to get the question. 
But if you have the answers, why do you need the questions? Maybe they got the idea from Jeopardy. Anyway, I think it is wrongheaded, bass-ackward, and probably against God. But it works.
If you read much about AI, you may feel like I do -- insanity is taking over the world. It all leads one to ask, "What does it mean to be human?"

The answer, I think, is what leads us out of the "madness" into sanity. It is to be loved as a unique, never-to-be-repeated creation of a personal God who created us in His image and likeness.

I don't care how smart Siri is or how life-like a robot -- It can never love you. And the greatest reality of all is LOVE -- not the mush love of liberalism which claims to care about all people while killing people for their own good, but the love for the other that wills their ultimate good -- union with God. Re-read 1 Corinthians 13!

Some of the folks in my parish have launched a prayer program for our pastor who has lung cancer. Parishioners have signed up for one hour every week to pray before the Blessed Sacrament begging for Father's healing. I don't expect to see a robot sitting in the pews with me.

The Rx antidote to madness in this world is to keep our eyes focused on the next, to love God with our whole heart, mind, soul, and strength and our neighbor as ourself.

Let's roll!

  1. Strange that my body my choice does not apply to kids who've been conditioned into lgbt in the first place and just want out.
