In our 39th episode of “Men Who Understood the Times,” we discuss: Can the Supreme Court legislate (im)morality?
Roe v Wade/Dobbs – abortion
Obergefell v Hodges – gay “marriage”
Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission – refusal of services for LGBTQ+
Chiles v. Salazar – therapists performing “conversion therapy”
We examine four major Supreme Court cases to discuss what effects these decisions have had on both Christians and unbelievers. How has legalizing abortion normalized an act that Christians consider a sin? How did legalizing gay “marriage” redefine a divinely ordained institution? How did the court uphold the concept that the government cannot force a citizen to say, write, or create something that violates their conscience? How did the court protect a therapist’s right to speak according to their conscience as a vital safeguard against government tyranny?
