Saw this in a mainstream news article (The Atlantic) the other day from Reverend Moore, head of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, which runs the Southern Baptist Convention. Calls out poser Christians (e.g. bible belt, trad thots) who just want an easy ticket to looking respectable, and explains how without social regulation and tradition, alpha males (Chads) are out of control and female hypergamy is rampant thanks to the sexual revolution. Regardless of your atheism or religious leaning I think he has a good point on the importance of re-imposing family values - maybe it could happen! It's also nice to see mainstream figures recognising the underlying issue that we face. Shown below:
---
Moore is calling for more fidelity to this Christian sexual ethic. This means talking about “chastity,” not just “abstinence,” he says; condemning “fornication,” not just “premarital sex.” It means eschewing divorce and recognising traditional gender roles and rejecting the values of the sexual revolution. “Can we really pretend that the culture around us is an increasingly safe place for women or for their children?” he writes. “What is this but the brutal patriarchy of a Bronze Age warlord? All of these things empower men to pursue a Darwinian fantasy of the predatory alpha-male in search of nothing but power, prestige, and the next orgasm.”
The idea behind this sort of Moral Majority-era politics was clear, Moore writes in his new book, Onward. “Most Americans agreed on certain traditional values: monogamous marriage, the nuclear family, the right to life, the good of prayer and church attendance, free enterprise, a strong military, and the basic goodness of the American way of life. The argument was that this consensus represented the real America.”
