WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE MORAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR CULTURE?
Thomas Sowell made a very astute observation in his May 10, 2012 Columbus Dispatch editorial: “There has been much concern, rightly expressed, about the rusting of bridges around the country, and the crumbling and corrosion of other parts of the physical infrastructure. But the crumbling of the moral infrastructure is no less deadly.”
Many Christians claim that our nation was grounded at its origins in Judeo-Christian principles. Within this belief system, it is stated that the governing authorities that exist are appointed by God (Romans 13:1). The passage goes on the say that these governing authorities (whether they choose to believe it or not) are God’s ministers to us for good. This can only imply that those who are the rulers over the masses (congressmen, presidents, etc.) have a responsibility to maintain and promote good morals and values. Good, meaning according to God’s standards, not according to the ‘good’ defined by the culture. Today’s political correctness only leads to anarchy – doing whatever the individual deems right in their own eyes – and moral decay.
Amazingly, those without a belief system still uphold certain Christian principles. They believe that murder, infanticide, pedophilia, and bestiality (to name a few) should be prohibited. But why is sodomy not included? Because the liberal scheme is to smash the Judeo-Christian morals of our culture. Over the past 60 years we have seen the slow demise of marriages in our culture – over 50% end up in divorce. The traditional family of the 1950’s is gone. And now a minority of our society has fostered the notion of same sex marriage under the guise of demanding “equal rights.”
What is not surprising is that President Obama and Vice President Biden have bought into this errant idea along with their Hollywood cronies that “equal rights” supersedes the higher laws of God. We have been utterly abandoned by those who are supposed to protect us from that which violates the moral intents of the Divine and the founders of our great country. Remember, nothing ‘good’ will come to our country when the last pillar of the moral infrastructure comes crashing down.
