Let it be done unto me according to thy word

I love my Catholic life and the Virgin Mary. She has brought me closer to her son, Jesus, in a way I could not imagine....

Bret Weinstein said something that won’t leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding.

Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.

Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected.

Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.

And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.

Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?

Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.

Watch it all the way through, then tell me — honestly — does this explain the absolute intensity we’re seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?

Real answers only. Quote-post if it hits you in the chest like it hit me.

@JimmiGianni @NotJoshGeyer Nah, I can, actually, even with my old ass, lol. Just making an observation. Not what I would picture as one of these individuals. But like I said, I'm an old fart and things change.

@Slopagandist88 Actually it was handled properly. Not that I agree with the store owner, but he doesn't have to do anything. That's his right, although he was over the top because he couldn't read the room. The lady was kind and understanding and walked away. Simple.

@Celebrim42 @MrCasey62 Great now I am listening to old Enya. CLANNAD! Godd stuff

[Let it be done unto me according to thy word @MFforMary]

@Celebrim42 @MrCasey62 Meh, I tell you what, you love Christ and I love Chriat, on that we can agree. I ask you to pray for me i will pray for you. Deal?

[Let it be done unto me according to thy word @MFforMary]

Catholics fully affirm Romans 12, Hebrews 13, and 1 Peter 2. We offer ourselves, our praise, and our good works as spiritual sacrifices. The Eucharist isn't claimed to replace those. Rather, it is our participation in Christ's once-for-all sacrifice, which is why Paul speaks of communion in sacrificial terms in 1 Corinthians 10. So the question isn't whether Christians offer spiritual sacrifices—we both agree they do. The question is whether the Eucharist is also sacrificial.

[Let it be done unto me according to thy word @MFforMary]

Why the distinctions are made. John falls to the ground in act of worshiping God which he is immediately rebuked. This is worshiping in the general sense based specifically what scripture says. So I concede in my first statement was not thorough in explaining worship. To clarify sacrifice is the highest and most definitive act in covenantal liturgical worship. There are other places in scripture where men bow to angels and are not rebuked. Bowing to someone of honor is standard practice throughout the ages. Veneration.

@Celebrim42 @MrCasey62 Youe refering to Revelation?

[Let it be done unto me according to thy word @MFforMary]

@Celebrim42 @MrCasey62 Also, sound by what measure?

[Let it be done unto me according to thy word @MFforMary]

@Celebrim42 @MrCasey62 Try me..God only knows

[Let it be done unto me according to thy word @MFforMary]

@Celebrim42 @MrCasey62 Well, not in defiance of scripture, no. But yes it does. Let me guess, Hebrews 10? Or John 19?

@Sam82pa @Filmdaddy77 @piersmorgan I disagree with everything you said, but at least you put your money where your mouth is. Kudos for you for leaving. Glad you did.

@Tabor56TN @JamesG70Cuda @Hstorical_Facts @mamboitaliano__ Your memory is not correct so....

@ergadia @havoc_211 @MrCasey62 The key words, they refuse to accept it. It is a truly good proof text.
