The Moral Majority was a prominent American
political organization associated with the Christian right and Republican
Party. It was founded in 1979 by Baptist minister Jerry Falwell and associates,
and dissolved in the late 1980's. Even though it was dissolved, it never
died and is now a plague within the Republican Party which is a blatant act of
disrespect for the US
constitution, specifically the separation of church and state. This
plague is, and always will be a threat to America if we don’t enforce our
constitution. Religion belongs in Church not in our government.
If the so called moral majority is truly moral, why do they give credence to
the atrocities of the Old Testament? Why do they think slavery, killing
and taking peoples land is moral? What is moral about their blatant
discrimination against same sex relationships and their right to the have the
same freedoms as Christians. Where are their morals when they lie, cheat
and con people to get what they want? If they call those indiscretions
good morals, they definitely have a different standard of morals than I do.
The self-righteous founder of the Moral Majority was presumptuous in claiming his representation of the Christian right exemplified a moral majority. My question is this; the majority of what? Idiots? No entity has the moral right to decide what a person's moral values and principles are. By my standards, there are a countless number of immoral verses and passages in the Christian Bible and the so called Moral Majority claims righteousness from that Bible. Here is one example; "Slavery is an everlasting institution. Slaves are to obey their masters in everything. LE 25:44-46, DT 15:17, EP 6:5, CN 3:22, TS 2:9, PE 2:18"..... That is truly immoral and you will find many more immoral passages in the Bible, Koran and the Torah.
