1 John 4:7-11
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one who loves is born of God, and knows God.
8 He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

"Just be nice." "That's not nice." "I can't do that; it wouldn't be nice." "She's not a very nice person." "What a nice thing to do!" Among Christians in particular, these days, I'm hearing niceness increasingly lifted up as the goal of right living, of Christian living: A good Christian is a nice Christian; Jesus was the nicest person ever; true Christian love is always nice; God wants all of His children to be nice to each other. And so on.
Typically, what is meant by "nice" is left up to those looking on, or to those with whom the Christian is interacting directly. So long as they approve of what the Christian is doing, so long as they "feel good," or feel "affirmed," or feel "supported" and "safe," the Christian is being properly nice and is, therefore, a good Christian person. This entirely subjective sort of "niceness" goes hand-in-glove with current, toxic "compassion" that the secular, western world has taken up and uses to justify murder of the unborn (and born, now, too), child chemical castration and surgical mutilation, deep sexual perversion, open, anti-white racism, pedophilic grooming and the celebration and encouragement of deep delusion.
You see, it's not "compassionate" - and it's certainly not "nice" - to tell a mother who is considering murdering her unborn child that this is what she's doing. It will make her feel condemned, and misunderstood, and unhappy. Above all, "niceness" demands that no one be made to feel this way - even if such "niceness" results in infanticide. Under the banner of such "niceness," tens of millions of babies have been slaughtered in the womb, multi-millions of dollars have flowed into the coffers of abortionists, and millions of mothers live out the rest of their lives with crippling, secret guilt. Oh, how most of these mothers wish that those who had been so nice, so encouraging, to them before the skulls of their defenseless babies were crushed and their little bodies torn apart and tossed into a bag to be sold to research labs, had challenged and resisted their shortsighted, pathological fearfulness and selfishness!
Today, a child powerfully-influenced by culture, eager to be noticed, to stand out from the crowd and be "special," and to be applauded and encouraged, may be manipulated into a state of profound confusion about their gender. Overwhelmed by parents, teachers and social workers, who are all desperate to signal to each other their virtue and “Wokeness,” the child is “affirmed” into chemical-castration, and, in time, the physical mutilation of their body. Never must they be made to feel uncertain, or disturbed, about their childishly confused thoughts and feelings, about the dark and corrupting power of modern, western culture, and/or about the perverting influence of trusted adults who are using them to display their "compassion," their niceness, to one another (and/or make a great deal of money off of them). But when these children come out the other end of the "transition" process and understand the grave mistake it’s all been, none of the "niceness" they were shown helps them one iota with the deep horror, regret and despair they feel about the irreversible damage that's been done to them.
In North America, mercenary black activists urge their fellow black Americans to radical hatred of the "White Man," who is so incorrigibly evil, they say, that his eradication is, really, the only solution. Niceness dictates, however, that no one challenge the borrowed injury and resentment of the modern, black racist in North America. Descended from victims of racism, these racist black folk are treated with "kid gloves," shown niceness to such an extent that their bigoted, genocidal ideas and statements are actually encouraged, published without apparent qualm in academic journals, magazines and newspapers. And so, the racial resentment and oppressive, hateful rhetoric of the Klu Klux Klan takes on a new “acceptable” form, eating like acid at the cultural fabric of the country.
In publicly-funded libraries across the continent, children are made to sit and listen to pedophiles dressed in garish, indecent, and overtly Satanic garb, read to them ideological propaganda (aka – “children’s stories”). By doing so, these child-predators are hoping to normalize their “orientation,” and provoke in children a twisted focus upon their sexuality they would never normally have.
All of this vile softening of children (and society in general) to delusion and perversion is predicated on the idea that pedophiles in devilish and sexualized costumes are people, too, and therefore deserve to feel accepted, and even applauded, as they sexually groom little children and flaunt their demonic perversion before them. Compassion demands that we take into account how hurtful - and violent, actually - it is to set protective boundaries around children, making them off-limits to manipulation by warped men dressed-up in Baphomet costumes. On the altar of being nice, children must be offered up, lest the mascara-wearing pervert, his genitalia hanging out of a sequined stripper outfit, should kill himself in a fit of unhappiness.
There was a time when all this would have been thought – rightly – to be insane, morally and rationally; but, as the God-hating secular world has pushed the Judeo-Christian worldview and its ethics, values and morality to the margins of society, in the resulting vacuum, the dark madness and evil of the “god of this world,” has rushed in. Under his aegis, self-sacrificing, holy, agape love has been replaced with hyper-self-centered, delusory, “compassion,” with pathological “niceness,” that embraces and celebrates what ought to be despised and forbidden. But this is no more than what God has warned us in His word would happen when we turn our backs on Him, individually, or culturally.
Romans 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;
27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
