“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.” ― G.K. Chesterton
There are various entities which, if they exist, would be candidates for necessary beings: God, propositions, relations, properties, states of affairs, possible worlds, and numbers, among others. Note that the first entity in this list is a concrete entity, while the rest are abstract entities.[2] Many interesting philosophical questions arise when one inquires about necessary beings: What makes it the case that they exist necessarily? Is there a grounding for their necessary existence? Do some of them depend on others? If so, how might one understand the dependence relation? https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/god-necessary-being/
The categories and hierarchies that have made Western cultures the most successful in history all come from the Bible. Categories like good and evil, male and female, and hierarchies like family, government, and church. These categories and hierarchies are under attack by popular society. A house without a foundation will collapse.
What is the Frankfurt School theory?
The Frankfurt School of Critical Theory was a collection of researchers and philosophers that came together to study the application of Marxism to philosophy and society. The school was founded in 1923 in Frankfurt, Germany. Its members were critical of the effects of technology and capitalism on society.
The increases in postmodernism can be traced back to the Frankfurt school.

Postmodernism is a rejection of science, logic, reason, religion, and capitalism. The idea that (X X) and (XY) doesn’t lock the person into male or female is a rejection of biology and thousands of years of human experience. Postmodernism, since it gives up logic and reason, tends to be emotionally based in its reasoning. Going by feelings instead of facts arises out of this ideology. Their positions are emotionally based, if you go against their emotional ideas they become very aggressive and vindictive which is led to a cancel culture. This is made certain individuals reluctant to talk about reality because they’re afraid of cancel culture, they are afraid that they could lose their job. It’s impossible to have a logical discussion with someone whose reasoning is based on emotions.
The simple facts are there are males and females, males and females are not something that doctors assign at birth this is something that doctors Observe at birth. But even scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson are willing to fudge the science to duck cancel culture.
The facts are certain males come across more feminine and some that come across more masculine. That doesn’t make those who come across more feminine, females they’re still males that express more feminine traits. And vice versa with females. But yet is an all-out war against those who hold to biology and don’t go along with the emotional reasoning.
The Marxists came over to this country after there were kicked out of Europe because hundreds of millions of citizens died under Marxist rule so they decided to come here and retool Marxism and now we have oppressors and victims instead of the proletariat versus The bourgeoisie.
Then comes climate extremism what you have college students screaming about the climate is going to kill us all if we don’t stop the oil. If we stopped a will millions of people in Third World countries will die. We would take access to fertilizers that have allowed Western farmers to produce enough food to support the world’s population several times over. Yet when these college students are on the debate stage in can’t answer simple questions that challenge their position they simply go into emotional mode, “but people are dying”. Climate-related deaths have decreased by over 90% in the last 100 years due to technology including oil. About 8 years ago the temperature plateaued in the last 8 years has been gradually coming down but you will never hear that on the news.
Based on the global carbon budget (2022) US CO2 has been going down since 1950. Most of the countries that have these protests have already reduced CO2 output through technology. And none of these protesters are protesting in China or India, the biggest CO2 producers. It’s usually rich college students or college grads that are doing the protesting are organizing the protest. And in interviews, most of them have never held a job and are supported by either family or government. Yet they feel they can save the world and know what’s best for everybody else.
When you give up on God you have to fill that void in some way and so instead of cleaning up their room and organizing their lives they are out trying to save the world and they feel noble in the process. Forget about the effect on Third World countries we need to feel good about ourselves-narcissism.

Can you have a logical argument against emotional proclamations?
