🛡️ INTRODUCTION: “If God is Dead, Who Moderates the Comment Section?”
In an age where a man may confess more readily to ChatGPT than to Christ, I feel compelled to speak. Not as a relic of Tsarist gloom, but as one who beheld devils in the mind and angels in suffering. Today, Christ is not crucified between thieves, but between clickbait and dopamine.
🌈 “The soul is healed by being with children,” I once said. But now it is drowned in TikTok.
🔴 PART I: THE TEMPTATION OF THE SCROLL
We no longer wander deserts seeking bread. We scroll. Christ was tempted thrice; we swipe thrice per second.
- ⭐ Satan offered kingdoms — now influencers sell self-help salvation for $9.99.
- ⏰ Christ fasted 40 days — you fast from Instagram and call it virtue.
- 🔮 “Turn stones into bread” becomes “Turn attention into ad revenue.”
Yet the hunger remains.
💛 PART II: THE CHURCH OF THE CURATED SELF
Modern man has not renounced God. He has replaced Him with the mirror.
- 🎨 Instagram is the iconostasis of vanity.
- ⚠️ The confessional is now a comment section.
- ✨ Every soul craves the aesthetic of goodness, not the agony of virtue.
⚫ “We are not ashamed of our sins, but of our low engagement metrics.”
✡️ PART III: RESURRECTION IN A WORLD WITHOUT SIN
In rejecting sin, we have not become saints—only deluded.
- 🧬 The modern gospel: “Follow your truth.”
- ❄️ But truth without God is just preference with a ring light.
- 🌀 “There is no crime,” cries the algorithm, “only misunderstood content.”
The Cross, in this world, is an aesthetic filter, not a burden.
🌺 PART IV: THE RETURN OF THE CRUCIFIED IN CODE
Imagine: Christ returns not on clouds, but as a shadowbanned account.
- 🕵️ His sermons are flagged for “graphic content.”
- 🔐 The Beatitudes are demoted by the algorithm.
- ✉️ Judas sells Him out for a verified checkmark.
🥀 “Who do you say I am?” becomes: “Who do you follow and why aren’t you subscribed?”
🌟 CONCLUSION: THE KINGDOM IS NOT A TREND
The Kingdom of God does not go viral.
- ❌ It is not sponsored.
- 💸 It cannot be monetized.
- ❤️ It will not fit your brand.
But it saves you.
✨ “To love another person is to see the face of God.” Even on 4G.
Repent, not because you fear cancellation, but because you long to be known.
