I have an idea for a state sponsored eugenics plan and wanted to hear everyone's thoughts.

Goals are as follows:

* Achieve an extremely gender conforming society. For example, little girls should have long hair and be into performative femininity and boys should have short hair and display an appropriate level of masculinity

* Achieve a heteronormative society, or at least the appearance of one, by treating gender non conformity and same sex attraction as an affliction that can be corrected

* Sterilize as many mentally unwell and same sex attracted children and adults as possible. Gender non conformity should be treated like a disease using catchy phrases like "born in the wrong body".

* Encourage the targeted demographic to volunteer for "treatment" (aka sterilization). And while the state won't force children afflicted with gender non conformity or mental illness to sign up for the program, the state reserves the right to forcibly remove children from homes where parents disagree with "treatment".

* Comprehensive marketing should be pushed to all government funded agencies, including schools, universities and hospitals, to encourage citizens to promote and defend the program. Care should be taken to use phrases that minimize what is actually occurring, such as "gender affirming care" rather than "elective double mastectomy".

* Ostracize, defame, de-platform and potentially detain those who oppose the state's plan.

* Find corporate sponsors that will help us sponsor and promote this program, it's fine if they benefit from it as well.

Does anyone think the general populace would fall for something like this?

Hearing news of war is always very sobering and should make us cry out to our God who is sovereign over everything.

We are aghast at the shocking evil and hatred levelled against the Jewish people. We know God is Sovereign, but God has given us the powerful tool of prayer. We need to cry out to the Lord that He will stop these terrorists and their murderous rampage.

“In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.” (Psalm 18:6)

War is a vivid and heart-breaking reminder that we live in a fallen world and that, until Jesus returns, evil is a daily occurrence. As we see the horrifying videos and images coming out of Israel, with more to come in the days and weeks ahead, let’s remember to pray for:

The nation of Israel and wisdom for her leaders;
Those who are committing and have already committed so many horrible atrocities;
Those who have been taken captive and their families;
The families of those who have already lost loved ones;
And that God would use this horrific event to bring people in Israel, Palestine, and around the world to the saving knowledge of his Son, Jesus.

I can’t imagine the heartbreak of people who have lost loved ones as a result of these heinous acts.

We have to remember our sin caused this. We experience the results of our sin each day as we see death, disease and suffering all around us. It’s not God’s fault that the world groans like this, it’s our fault.

And that’s why we need to do what we can to help our family (yes, we’re all one family) who are suffering as a result of this terrible war.

We, in Adam, committed high treason against the God of creation. That’s why we are all under the judgment of death. We deserve nothing, and yet God loves us so much He provided a gift of salvation for those who will receive it.

“but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (2 Corinthians 1:3–4).
