RNC's Opening Night: A Parade of Porn Stars, Sikhs, and LGBTQ Advocates

I get a little politically motivated around election season. I’m not obsessed with politics, but I am obsessed with the theology surrounding the movements of the day—and in this season that happens to just be politics. So I apologize if it seems like I’m focusing too much on it.

Remember when the Democratic National Committee (DNC) denounced God in their 2012 platform? Conservatives were rightly outraged, as the Democrats removed all references to God, replacing God with the hollow shell of secular humanism. This godless platform, with its tenets rooted in secularism, was a blatant rejection of the Christian ideals that built this nation.

Yet, in a twist of bitter irony, the Republican National Committee (RNC) now finds itself on a similar path of moral erosion, only a few years behind.

Back in 2012, conservatives stood in clear opposition to the DNC's efforts to oust God from the nation. The removal of God from the Democratic platform was the culmination of a long descent into secularism. The outrage was tangible, and rightly so—how could a major political party not just turn its back on, but completely denounce in the most mocking way the God that created the world we live in?

In reality, the DNC’s denunciation of God was the symptom, not the cause, of the platform’s moral standards. You can’t have God in a party that supports killing children and mutilating their bodies. It simply doesn’t work.

The Democrats' embrace of secular humanism, with its inherent rejection of absolute moral standards, was a harbinger of the chaos and moral confusion we see in their policies today.

Fast forward to the present, and the RNC is rapidly following in those same footsteps. The Republican Party, once a much stronger defender of conservative values and moral clarity, is now adopting policy positions that eerily mirror the DNC's platform from a decade ago. The RNC has softened its stance on every critical issue—like abortion and sexual immorality—diluting the clear moral positions that once defined it.

Last night, during the RNC convention, a Sikh was invited to the stage to offer a prayer to their false god, which she referred to as the "one true god." No one flinched. No one gasped. No one cared. The has just become another “big tent” where anything goes. Yet, this was more than just the embrace of religious pluralism—it was a betrayal of the exclusive truth claims of Christianity that this nation was built upon.
