Russell Moore, the perennial darling of the progressive elite masquerading as a theologian, has yet again gifted us with his latest epistle—this time wrapped in all the self-righteous posturing and thinly veiled contempt we’ve come to expect.
Moore’s latest diatribe is nothing more than progressive drivel dressed up in Christian drag, a hollow discourse aimed at convincing Christians to sit down, shut up, and stop fighting back in the cultural war. He speaks with all the piety of a Pharisee, yet his message is soaked in the stench of compromise and cowardice.
Moore knows his audience at Christianity Today are not deep-thinkers, so he knows he can get away with this garbage in his own circles. But anyone with a modicum of discernment can see right through it. In his latest article t“Will Your Presidential Vote Send You to Hell?” Moore posits that:
“People can be committed, though, to the same goals of justice but differ as to how to get to them” and “Some Christians believe the pro-life vision of care for the unborn always requires voting for the Republican ticket, no matter what. Others believe the pro-life vision is harmed long-term by tying it to sexual anarchy, misogyny, contempt for the vulnerable, and mob violence.”
In other words, some people believe that being pro-life means voting for Kamala Harris—and that’s what he’s trying to convince us with in his article. More on that in a minute.
Moore was apparently “rattled” that a family he knew received a “note” from a friend telling them they were going to Hell for not supporting a particular candidate.
Never mind that voting for a candidate who openly advocates for the mass slaughter of unborn children and the obliteration of biblical family structures might, you know, actually be a problem. Do you go to Hell for that? Well, it’s certainly a sin, but it’s more likely that this kind of voting is a reflection of one’s spiritual state, not the cause.
But Moore would have you believe such voting is all just a matter of personal preference, like choosing between Coke and Pepsi. Who cares if the candidate you support wants to sacrifice babies at the altar of "choice"? We wouldn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable by holding them to biblical standards, now would we?
Moore prattles on about how Christians have somehow become too “tribalized” in their politics, as if standing firm on biblical truth is just a matter of partisan bickering. Of course, Moore never stops to consider that maybe—just maybe—some things are worth fighting for. But no, in his world, moral clarity is divisive, and divisiveness is the greatest sin of all. It’s as if Moore is auditioning for the role of the high priest of moral neutrality, where the only commandment is “Thou shalt not rock the boat.”
And let’s not ignore the delicious irony of Moore accusing Christians of secularizing the church with their political engagement, all while he peddles his own leftist political agenda disguised as spiritual wisdom. He talks about how the church has become “market-driven,” but the only market Moore seems interested in appealing to is the one filled with progressives who hate the gospel and demand that the church bend the knee to the gods of wokeism.
He bemoans the fact that churches have become obsessed with “red meat” political issues—how dare those pesky Christians care about life, family, and religious freedom! Meanwhile, Moore is perfectly happy to serve up his own brand of moral tofu, tasteless and devoid of substance, hoping to please both God and man. Spoiler alert, he’s failing miserably at both.
