Please convince me that this isn’t real.
Is it any wonder that certain aspects of our popular culture, being Godless, suck out loud? Like, for instance, a creeping hysteria, especially among young women, about turning 30. It’s stopped creeping and started galloping on various social media platforms (https://nypost.com/2024/01/12/lifestyle/gen-z-paralyzed-with-fear-of-turning-30-as-unattractive-hags/).
And voila! We’ve learned a new word! “Unalive”–as in “a desire to unalive in their 30s…” I think it means “die.” Humanism has long been in the process of morphing into a death cult. It needs a new vocabulary for that.
They don’t want to turn into “unattractive hags.” They splurge on “beauty” products. Ten-year-old girls want to buy makeup.
A lot of them say they don’t know how to face “life after college.” Like, what comes next? Does anything come next?
You can’t buy, you can’t earn by studying, the hope that God gives as a free gift, obtained for us by Jesus Christ: regeneration of the soul and body, and eternal life. All the cosmetics in the world won’t get you there.
But believing in God and believing His word… will.
