128: Political Theology pt 4 - Legislating Morality | Voting is Morally Significant

September 06, 2024 Jason Dulle Episode 128

It's common knowledge that "you can't (or shouldn't) legislate morality," but in reality, this is a common misunderstanding. Morality is all that you should legislate. The only question is whose morality will be legislated. It would be religious discrimination and anti-democratic to exclude the voices of Christians simply because they are religious. 

When we vote, our vote should be based on policy rather than personality, race, sex, etc. And since law is a moral enterprise on its face, who and what we vote for is morally significant. We should be voting in ways that best fulfill God's purpose for government (justice), and that means moral issues ought to take precedent over all other political issues.
