Like you, I didn’t watch the Grammys last night because…well why would I?
But today we are hearing about a satanic performance by a gay man and a transgender woman.
Last night the audience at the Grammys, filled with the most popular celebrity musicians, cheered Sam Smith and Kim Petra as they sang their song ‘Unholy’.
Both Smith and Petra won an award for their song ‘Unholy’ and Petra accepted the award. Petra reveled in being the first ‘transgender female’ to win such an award at the Grammys.
Not only was the performance satanic, replete with fire in the background simulating hell, but the lyrics to the song are all about a father having gay sex while his wife doesn’t know.
“Mummy don’t know daddy’s getting hot at the body shop, doing something unholy…”
Yes, that’s the main line of the chorus. The whole thing, performance and all is horrifically evil. It’s an affront to God. These music celebrities are celebrating Satan and all of his depravity, whether they believe in him or not.
Here’s what Ben Shaprio had to say about it this morning:
The Grammys annual trolling of traditionally moral people continued apace this year with a full-on Satanic performance from two white men, Sam Smith and Kim Petras.

To even note that this happened is to draw fire: “Hey, why are you even noticing? Why do you even care?” This is the Face Tattoo Syndrome™ in action: do something highly provocative, then act shocked and appalled when people are provoked.

But there’s something deeper happening here, too. The elite in our society are fully in line with the ideology of Satanic fealty expressed by Smith and Petras.

So what’s the story with Satan and the transgressive ideology? For most of religious history, Satan was the great villain, an emblem of rebellion against the Good and the True, a symbol of resistance to the Holy.

When John Milton wrote “Paradise Lost,” (1667) his Satan famously stated, “better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav’n.” Satan was the villain of the piece, abandoning the Good and the True for a personal sense of power.

For transgressive poet Percy Shelley, however, Satan was the hero of “Paradise Lost”: “Milton’s Devil as a moral being is as far superior to his God as one who perseveres in some purpose which he has conceived to be excellent in spite of adversity and torture.”
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 6, 2023
Why did he believe this? Because he believed that the essence of “love” is “liberty,” that the goal of life is subjective “happiness,” and that "religion and morality, as they now stand, compose a practical code of misery and servitude.”
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 6, 2023
This is the message of our modern-day Satanists as well. Religion and morality are evils. Worship of “authenticity,” particularly in the sexual realm, is the highest possible good. Worship Satan by worshipping yourself.

This is rather insightful because, as you well know, the great sin in the Garden of Eden was the birth of self. This is why God calls us to a very ‘selfless’ life, whether it be in caring for the less fortunate or restraining ourselves from the pleasures of this world. Living a ‘selfless’ life helps us to put our attention on God rather than the pleasures of this world. Which is exactly what Jesus did with His life, crucifixion and death – by far the greatest selfless act ever.
This stands in absolute contradiction to those at the Grammys last night, who are so consumed with self that they’ve turned everything upside down and inside out. They believe they are the moral ones in our society and that we Christians are perverse and abominable.
All I pray is that God would have mercy on their souls, because that is the only thing that can save them.
