Summary

Segment 1:

• 300+ furries are headed to Atlanta for a convention.

• This is more than cosplay—it’s rooted in identity confusion.

• Another tragic expression of Romans 1’s "authentic self" crisis.

Segment 2:

• Furries know they’re not animals—but they still want affirmation.

• Canada funded a list of churches that won’t affirm LGBT beliefs.

• This is less about identity and more about demanding celebration.

Segment 3:

• Elon Musk says memory loss won’t matter soon—tech will fix it.

• SSRIs, shootings, and identity collapse—what are we doing to kids?

• People now value their pets over human life—our anthropology is broken.

Segment 4:

• Jesse Duplantis claims to share God’s DNA and control death.

• Michael Todd mocked for cross-dressing on stage.

• False teachers like these confuse a hurting world and mock God’s truth.
