I just shake my head every time someone attempts to assert votes mean anything within an environment where a solid 90% of the content is inorganic.

I've never liked these sorts of arguments because they appear to presuppose a humanized God, who follows a similar thought process which is expected to be understandable to us. It also asserts before any arguments that evil must definitely be an immutable force in the world, while much of biblical teachings suggest that evil is very much mutable in many ways.

The world is not nearly as schizophrenic as you seem to be suggesting. Most of people's issues with America have been enduring for a long time, and that doesn't change with the president.

Depicting difficult subjects in art is one thing. Obsessing over depicting people's failures is weird.

scale

That's an interesting thought I hadn't considered. The Webb is about as quiet as we're going to get anywhere near our orbit, but a lunar compound could very easily be much larger, and would be a great deal easier to service/upgrade.
