A single man with lots of things on his mind does not spend a lot of time on housework. Frankly, I like spiders. They keep all of the other bugs under control. God's Creation is amazing.
Cobwebs are easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner, but they always come back because there are always spiders. Cobwebs are sticky, and messy, and gross. They are disgusting.
So is evil.
...the Lord said to him, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old. Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it. Then build a proper kind of altar to the Lord your God on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that you cut down, offer the second bull as a burnt offering.”
So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord told him. But because he was afraid of his family and the townspeople, he did it at night rather than in the daytime.
In the morning when the people of the town got up, there was Baal’s altar, demolished, with the Asherah pole beside it cut down and the second bull sacrificed on the newly built altar!
They asked each other, “Who did this?”
When they carefully investigated, they were told, “Gideon son of Joash did it.”
The people of the town demanded of Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has broken down Baal’s altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
But Joash replied to the hostile crowd around him, “Are you going to plead Baal’s cause? Are you trying to save him? Whoever fights for him shall be put to death by morning! If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself when someone breaks down his altar.” So because Gideon broke down Baal’s altar, they gave him the name Jerub-Baal that day, saying, “Let Baal contend with him.” (Judges 6:25-32 NIV)

So, ... what are you going to do about it?
All glory to God. (...and certainly not us.)
UPDATE, June 10, 2024...
Forgiveness is real. For anything. It does not matter. It only requires a desire to change. That is the beginning of repentance.
In the weird initiation rites of the Satanists, they try to break every possible taboo. All seven deadly sins are visited in different colored rooms--- the entire spectrum of sins: gluttony, sloth, adultery....
When they commit murder of the innocents in the red room at the end of this rainbow-colored orgy (no, that flag isn't about LGBTQRF), they have already paid the price of their eternal damnation and regressed to the lowest possible vibration in the visible spectrum.
The world would be surprised by how simple it is to lose your soul, your life, and moral compass:
The initiates of Satan say that there is nobody greater than their own self and that they won't bow the knee to any Higher Power. Just like their Father.
They have no concept of what it means or the price that will be exacted from them, but they do this anyway. Their only warning is the Gatekeeper intoning, "The price has not been paid!" or "The price has been paid!"
Most would-be initiates are far too clueless to understand that they are entering the Gates of Hell, literally, and what they will see and do if they pass beyond that gate will terrify them and obligate them (via blackmail) to be criminals on demand, whores on demand, for the rest of their lives.
This is the cost of having no belief and no knowledge of the Realm of the Spirit, so that they are destroyed by their own acts and cut down by their own words. (AVR #4876, emphasis added)

Pray for these people. Pray that they will know the Truth, and that they will know that there is Forgiveness and that they can be Forgiven.
They can be forgiven.
