You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.  Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.  

—- Mark 10:42-44

       Jerry Falwell, Sr., founding pastor of Thomas Road Baptist church in Lynchburg, virginia; Tim La Haye, pastor of Scott Memorial Baptist church in San Diego, california; Charles Stanley, pastor of the First Baptist church in Atlanta, georgia; D. James Kennedy, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian church in Fort Lauderdale, florida; and Greg J. Dixon, founding pastor of the Indianapolis (indiana) Baptist temple co-found the Moral Majority.  Among the Moral Majority’s goals are:

  • Imposition of Christian family values on non-believers;
  • Defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment and the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty;
  • Banning of abortion on demand;
  • Continued intolerance for sexual privacy; and
  • Legalization of prayer in government-run public schools.

       These are in violation of one the central tenets of Christianity: the Golden Rule.  Although, the Moral Majority is opposed to abortion on demand, which it sees as murder—a crime with an identifiable victim.

       NOTE: At the time of the founding all five of these institutions were 501(c)3, Federally chartered, non-profit corporations, as opposed to new testament Churches, which retained the Article I of Amendment Freedoms of Religion, Speech and Assembly.

       Question: In its decade-long existence did the Moral Majority ever advocate basing its political positions on the Golden Rule?
