Moral Confusion ~ A Descent Into Insanity

Updated: Jun 22, 2022

Interesting thing happened in the adjoining waiting rooms between the Infusion Suite and the doctors' offices at The Woodlands on 16 June, 2022. I was there for my monthly labs, my appointment with Dr. Joudeh, and a Zometa infusion. Wendy, one of the infusion nurses, had already drawn my blood for the usual tests, and she had carefully clamped and taped the tubing to the outside of my blouse so she could access it later for my infusion. I was aware of several other patients who were waiting with me, some to check out after seeing their doctors, others waited to be seen. There were two people sitting sideways from me against the wall that was just ahead and slightly to my right. One was an older man who was with an elderly woman sitting in a wheelchair facing him. She appeared to be in her late 70's. Seated to my left against the opposite wall were two individuals who I didn't take much notice of. Immediately to my right sat a couple, a man and woman, both of whom appeared to be close to my age.

I slipped my phone out of the pocket of my purse and opened my browser to search for information about "minimal residual disease in multiple myeloma patients." I intended to ask Dr. Joudeh about it during my appointment. As I browsed, I became aware of the conversation between the woman in the wheelchair and her companion. I generally don’t eavesdrop, but we were in a more or less public space, and it was obvious to me that they wanted to be overheard.

It started with a conversation about Dr. Fauci’s recent Covid diagnosis. The woman remarked, “Bless his heart. “He’s been through so much.”

Okay, so, she was obviously sympathetic towards Dr. Fauci compared to my negative opinions of the man and neutral feelings about his diagnosis. Nonetheless, she had my attention. She and the man began to engage in a political discussion about how evil Trump is, and after a brief pause, I heard the man say, and I quote, “Would it be wrong to wish that all of his supporters would get hit by a bus?” To which the woman, apparently embarrassed, quietly replied, “Yes, that would be wrong.”

Well, hallelujah! There’s a measure of morality there after all, but I was honestly beginning to wonder. The loathing from both of them towards anyone who held an opposite or differing view was palpable to me. I felt it! And I felt indignant...outraged. I so wanted to stand up, walk over to them and (calmly) ask them, “Why do you feel that way? What exactly did President Trump do to warrant such contempt? And do you realize that there are people like me listening to your diatribe who you don’t know from Adam, and yet you apparently feel justified in condemning them to death by getting hit by a bus?!”

But I didn’t have the courage.

Still, I wasn’t completely non-reactive to what I had heard. When they passed by me as they were leaving a few minutes later, the angry sentiment rose up in me and I blurted out, “Be careful not to step in front of a bus!” But they didn’t hear me.

The shocked faces of the couple sitting next to me confirmed that they definitely heard me, and I was more than willing to explain myself to them and everyone else who may have heard what I said.

“You didn’t hear what they were saying, did you?” I asked, and they both shook their heads. So, I told them what I had overheard.

Then I said, “I didn’t appreciate their conversation. I think it’s completely inappropriate to talk that way in a public place with complete strangers, many of whom may have differing opinions. I happen to be a Trump supporter, so I was especially offended.”

“We are too,” the woman said. “I can’t believe he said that.”


Unfortunately, the divisiveness is only growing worse by the day, and episodes like this one happen more and more frequently. Remember in a previous post that I said the day is coming when each of us will have to take a stand? I did in that waiting room on that day, albeit too late and too timidly. Next time will be different. Next time I will be bolder!

Dr. Albert Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has an excellent podcast that I listen to every chance I get, and he addresses the moral confusion of our society, moreover of our world, in nearly every message. The loudest harangue currently comes from the LGBTQIA+ community, a community that makes up approximately 7.1% of our population, according to Gallop. I don’t put much stake in polls, to be honest, but I do believe this group is relatively small in the grand scheme of things. But it’s growing. And it’s growing for many reasons. Our society is confused. We have lost our way. We have succumbed to the intimidation of being labeled racist or bigoted. It has become so insidious that some individuals who have dared to object to the requirements of their employers to recognize and even support lifestyles to which they are vehemently opposed for personal, moral or religious reasons have lost their jobs. In a once open and democratic culture, this would be unfathomable. It would be recognized as what it is: reverse discrimination, racism and bigotry – the very thing those who are most vocal accuse their opponents of.

Talk about a moral morass. What a quagmire of confusion and hatred we wallow in. You may wonder why I didn’t speak up sooner with the old couple at the doctor’s office. Would they have listened? Would it have made any difference in how they believed? It might have made them think twice about talking so openly in the middle of a group of total strangers, but would it have changed anyone’s mind? I doubt it. The truth is, the staunch conviction to which they obviously hold is the same unwavering one to which I cling with complete resolve that it is TRUTH.

So, how does one know what the truth actually is? There are basic foundations that most of us rely on. Science is one. The influence of our parents is another. Some would argue that science is always changing; that there are things we believed in the past that science has proven we were wrong about. The belief that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun and other planets revolved around it is one example of a scientific theory that was proven wrong.

Personally, I very much believe in science, especially the science of biology that I was taught in school as part of my public education. I’m sure it wasn’t a perfect system back in the 60’s and 70’s either, but I would attest that it was far more objective and relevant – yes, truthful – than the gobbledygook being pushed in classrooms today. Take slavery, for example. It was a prevalent part of nearly every evolving society since the beginning of time. It is not a construct of one particular race or ethnicity. There have been white slaves, Asian slaves, Indian slaves, and yes, black slaves in every culture. Each has evolved at different rates and for different reasons. I can’t begin to understand it all, but I believe that slavery is a scourge on civilizations. I believe it is morally wrong to subjugate other human beings, and that all human beings have the right to live and prosper as they choose, as long as it is not at the expense of someone else.

The science of disease is another. I learned both in school as a child and from my parents the importance of personal hygiene. In school we learned about germs and viruses and how they can pass from one person to another. There were times of the year and seasons when we were more likely to get sick: in the winter when we were in closed spaces more, or in the fall when school started and we were exposed to so many other children in the close quarters of our classrooms. We learned that the flu was particularly virulent, and that the elderly and people with underlying medical issues were more likely to die from it. A vaccine was finally created to help with the symptoms, but it didn’t eradicate or wipe out the flu completely, the way true vaccines did for polio, small pox, and measles. And we didn’t cripple entire economies because of it the way we did with Covid-19. Instead of implementing quarantines for those infected, we quarantined healthy people, forbidding them to gather for church, funerals, and weddings; forcing them to wear masks, including the least likely to be adversely affected, our children, many of whom relied upon facial expressions to comprehend the instructions they were given at school. It will be years before we know the extent of the damage these measures caused. For nearly two years, we allowed ourselves to be enslaved by regulations and requirements that were arbitrary in their implementation and enforcement and not backed up by science.

Another example that is supported by science, and specifically, the science of biology, is gender. We are born with particular genetic markers and sexual characteristics that allow us to know whether we are male (both X and Y chromosomes, a penis and testicles) or female (two X chromosomes, a uterus, ovaries, and vagina). This is not a confusing issue. It is one that is easily determined by science. And yet, there is an element in our society that wants us to believe it is something that is fluid, adjustable, or changeable. This supposition has been so successfully propagandized in our society now that even the government and some businesses have surrendered to the insanity of it and include mandatory training in “diversity” to teach us how to address someone whose “personal pronouns” are “they, their, and them.” You will find choices other than “male” or “female” when you make flight reservations, fill out medical forms, or even apply for a passport.

It’s a frightening thing to contemplate, but it’s obvious to me that the patients are running the asylum.

The difference for me is, I don’t want them all to step in front of a bus. Actually, my heart goes out to them because they are suffering from another condition that medical science has defined (and I believe) as gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder, a diagnosable mental condition. I can’t imagine the confusion they must feel. But expecting the rest of us to “play along” and indulge someone who is so confused does them no service. On the contrary, it contributes to the delusion that they can change their sex. If it’s promulgated loudly and often enough, together with derisive accusations of bigotry and discrimination against those who don’t subscribe to the fallacy of it, well, we are seeing the resulting mass insanity that seems to be quickly spreading throughout our society.

The worst lie of all, in my opinion, is the one that has resulted in the murder of millions of unborn human beings by those who deny the divine nature of life and our existence and convince themselves that they are not doing what they truly are doing: killing the most innocent and helpless among us, the unborn. It is a tragedy so monumental that it haunts the consciences, not only of those who choose it as a solution to other bad choices, but also those of us who oppose it and long for a day when hearts might be softened and precious lives saved.

What makes me so certain that what I believe is truth when it flies in the face of current societal norms, you may wonder? I am certain because I have the Word of God, which is unchanging and comes from the omniscient God who created us and everything we see.

You don’t believe in God, you say? Well, there are other reasons, like science, to be certain of moral truths, like the truth that there are only two genders. There are reasons to believe, too, that marriage is not a social construct, but rather, a gift from our creator meant to be enjoyed by one man with one woman. What are those reasons, you might ask? Take a look at every prominent civilization that has existed in all of history, and you will see that their downfall came when they denied the truth that the natural family – a father (man), a mother (woman), and children – is the foundation of a stable society, and when mankind rejects it for unnatural partnerships, that society dooms itself to annihilation, whether that be through rampant lawlessness or a declining birth rate or both, as in the case of the United States of America. I see with my eyes and hear with my ears the results of turning away from these truths, of believing the lies pedaled by the powerful elite, whose goal is to undermine the very foundations of our society and enslave the masses. Their movement is very strong and has been gaining ground through their cohorts, such as the mainstream media.

How do you get an entire nation to willingly destroy itself? Lie to them. Tell them they are to blame for the transgressions of the past. Tell them they must submit to the will of the unelected elite and not assemble together for worship or to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas with their families. Tell them they must turn in their weapons; that the government will protect them. Tell them they are backward, bigoted, and uneducated if they don’t believe that we are responsible for destroying our climate. Tell them they are disrespectful and rude if they refuse to acknowledge, support, and participate in someone’s delusion about his or her gender.

That’s all it takes – lie to them. And if you don’t believe it, consider how in the world six million Jews were exterminated in concentration camps in World War II. It was because they were conditioned, little by little, to disarm and walk into gas chambers without resisting because they believed the lies.

It’s doubtful that anyone in the 7.1 percentile that I mentioned earlier will ever read these words, but if someone does, he or she will no doubt be deeply offended. That is not my intent. To you I would say, you can and will live your life as you choose, and you have that right. But you do not have the right to tell me that I can’t do the same. I would further say that I love you, but I do not accept your LGBTQAI+ lifestyle as the natural order and I never will, no matter what names I am called, no matter the intimidation tactics used against me, no matter if I have all of my possessions stripped from me and am marched off to solitary confinement in a remote and desolate prison somewhere to wither away to eternity.

I know the truth, and the truth has made me free.

I don’t express my opinions or views, in public, especially with strangers. I don’t like the arguments that normally arise from voicing my opinion if it differs from theirs. As a child, I grew up listening to my older siblings argue loudly about politics, so I shy away from voicing my opinion. BUT, you spoke the truth, and I agree with you! I’m glad you explained to the others why you said what you did. This is the Kelly I know and love!
