There was an article on ArcaMax, Court Restores Morality Rooted in Biblical Truths, by Star Parker (June 29, 2022), that was gloating about the triumph of “biblical truths” in the recent SCOTUS gutting of Roe v. Wade, the Lemon Test, etc. Here is a taste:
What we call morality, the morality rooted in biblical truths that still influence and guide large parts of the American population and that served as a guide to many more in our past, provides the rules and framework that sustain life and living.
Everyone that knows me knows how I celebrate this court decision that overturns that decision in 1973 that opened the door to the destruction of 60 million-plus pregnancies.
That decision introduced a culture of death to our nation.
When I say a culture of death, I don’t only mean the widespread physical destruction of infants in the womb, which is what the decision brought about.
A culture of death means introduction of behaviors that threaten the future of our communities, of our nation.
I believe Ms. Parker is a Christian, a subscriber to a death cult, and she has the temerity to call Roe v. Wade part of a “culture of death.” I guess this is all psychological projection, but still.
My main point is I wonder if Ms. Parker is familiar with the Biblical Truths™ concerning women’s rights, essentially them being somewhere between slim and none. Were she to actually subscribe to Biblical Truths™, she should not have a job, unless it was approved by her husband, or if not married, then her father. It is a Biblical Truth™ that she, being a female, is owned by her male overlord (father or husband) and is to look at him as he looks at Jesus. If Ms. Parker didn’t faithfully bleed (from a ruptured hymen) on her wedding night, she would be stoned to death by her family (even though a sizable percentage of women do not bleed when their hymen is first penetrated). I wonder how she would feel if her female children were sold into slavery by her husband, without consulting her.
According to Biblical Truths™, Ms. Parker could not vote (there is no democracy in the Bible). She could not drive a car (there are no cars in the Bible). She could not speak up in church (from her reserved spot in the back of the bus).
Do these people actually know what they are saying? I doubt it. More likely it is a manifestation of a Religious Stockholm Syndrome.
I also question her faith in her editors which allowed the word “Morality” to be misspelled in her published article (Original Title: Court Restores Moralty Rooted in Biblical Truths). Misplaced faith to the left of me, misplaced faith to the right of me, valiantly I drove into the valley of Christian Nationalism. . . .)
