My tagline......
Cal Thomas, in his book “Blinded by the Might” came out against the religious right ideas of Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority, a movement that he had been part of. He decided that identifying Christianity with a political party and with politics did irreparable damage to Christianity that should be a matter of folks becoming believers.
All of that, Thomas said, would result in a more Christian culture rather than a forced Christian culture.
In retrospect, I can’t say that it has worked out that way. NOT having powerful voices and organizations involved at the political level has resulted in nothing good that I can see. In fact, the culture has gone rapidly backward.
I must admit that at the time of Cal Thomas’ comments, I thought he had a point. The reality though, is that Reagan was right about unilateral disarmament. If you both leave the battlefield and leave the weapons to your enemies, then they are going to steamroll you.
And that’s exactly what’s been happening.
