For decades Americans have debated politics. But today, the deepest and most divisive divide is on morality itself. We used to argue about taxes, foreign policy, or the size of government. But today it is on moral issues.
A newly released Gallup survey reveals a nation that is not merely disagreeing over politics but increasingly unable to agree on what is right and wrong. The results paint a picture of two Americas operating from entirely different moral frameworks, with Democrats and Republicans often holding views that appear almost irreconcilable.
The numbers are startling.
According to Gallup, 73% of Democrats now view abortion as morally acceptable, compared to just 18% of Republicans. 60% of Dems say changing one’s gender is morally acceptable, while only 5% of Republicans agree.
Notice a trend, Democrats are fleeing from moral constraints while Republicans hold to a more traditional moral equivalency. 81% of Democrats consider gay or lesbian relationships morally acceptable, compared to 35% of Republicans. 47% of Democrats view pornography as morally acceptable versus just 19% of Republicans. Unbelievable is the stat that over half Democrats consider sex between teenagers morally acceptable, while only a small fraction of Republicans agree.
This is not political disagreements, but a moral view of a nation. Once we were not only a moral nation, but highly Christian. Not any more, depravity is rampant throughout America. My eye witness account of this divide occurred a couple of years ago. In an extremely red county in a red state, a prominent city allowed a drag Queen in the park show to be allowed. Many of us spoke against this travesty on two occasions before the city council, but to no avail.
I attempted to have a Faith and Family rally in the same city and the same park later that very year. I was told that the council was not allowing any large groups in the park due to noise issues. Funny, it was not an issue just two months before. And my initial contact with the person in charge of the park saw no problem with the event. The council quickly passed a noise ordinance, so no Christians need apply. The county was red politically, but the small city had a democratic majority. Moral divide exists in America even in small towns.
The divide comes when a nation no longer shares a moral code or outlook. Democrats and Luciferian leftist wish to transform America into a proverbial Sodom & Gomorrah. The division is so sharp that only a true move of God will ever get the two factions back together.
America will never be destroyed from a foreign power, but it might be destroyed from within. That my friends is exactly what is happening in our nation. Hedonism is the rule of the day in many areas of our country.
Our fight today is not left vs. right, but right vs. wrong. For Christians, the Gallup findings should not merely be viewed as political data. They should serve as a spiritual wake-up call. We as Americans are traveling in two distant and polar opposite moral directions.
Can America survive? Only if we right our moral division. That only comes from a shift back to our Judeo-Christian values. Prayer and repentance is our only recourse.
Pray, Engage, and Impact!!
