I guess I should assume you misunderstand the quote you provided. "With such a blind and naïve moralising approach, the whole vast storehouse of spiritual culture is devastated and its treasures detonated..."
So you're anti-LGBTQ. You're kinda, sorta referencing the Bible in a simplistic, moralizing way. You're condemning people to hell, as if it's your call. And you're asking me to explain you to you. 🤷♂️
For me, the story of Sodom is about inhospitality, not homosexuality.
Ezekiel 16:49-50 - "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."
Any doubts are clarified from the New Testament and the example of Jesus, how he walked in this world and treated others.
Still not following you. Why are you asking me to explain your point, rather than clearly stating your own position?
From the quote you provided, it sounds like that you see simplistic moralizing as destroying culture, creativity, and human potential. Yet you're condemning others to hell with a black-and-white view of complex social and moral issues, reducing it all to a simple "good vs evil".
Rather than engage in a Truth-seeking discussion, why are you attacking (or trolling)?
I'm sincerely trying to understand where you're coming from, but there is so much noise, it's hard to find the signal.
Sorry, but I'm not convinced yet. I'm not even sure what you mean by "moralizing", much less why I'm a hypocrite. Without making assumptions, who's doing the moralizing here?
Tell me more, but do it here. 👇

Disagreement doesn't have to mean disrespect. How we speak matters as much as what we say. Your harshness alone discredits you and harms you, even if you're unaware. (I also disagree with you entirely.)
Proverbs 12:18 - "The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."
Colossians 3:8 - "But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips."
James 3:5-8 - "Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison."
I found this helpful with our daughter. It provides courses for different age groups. She had to complete these courses with us before we broadened her internet access. She's a teenager now and there are still limits in place, but she's come to understand the reasoning.

Shutting down Telegram feels like cops showing off seized drugs. All for show, really.
We've been slow and steady introducing our teen to the internet and smartphones. Still pretty locked down, but it lets us keep having those important discussions. It's not easy, but she admits she's not dealing with the same issues as her friends. She feels more in control. Funny enough, I'd say she's got more freedom because of it.
Where people tend to live, but not work.
Neighborhoods full of houses, but lacking community.
Sprawl without a center. No town square to gather around.
Designed for cars and lawns, not for human interaction.
Miles of houses, but nowhere to walk to.
We immerse ourselves in fear, often making it our default expectation for the future. Is it surprising that many Americans feel "the end is near"? We prepare for the worst instead cultivating more important things: community, compassion, stewardship, trust...
