Gordon Clark: Search For An Ethic (Christianity Today)

Search For An Ethic

According to the New York Times, Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, urges the formation of a board of professional moralists to advise businessmen and politicians who wish to distinguish right from wrong.

Well, Mr. Warren surely needs some elementary moral advice. Any man who favors homosexuality on the same day he opposes prayer, or on any other day, is desperately in need of being told that sodomy is a sin against the laws of God.

The great trouble with Mr. Warren’s suggestion is that a body of governmental professionals to regulate the rest of us would probably be closer to the Chief Justice’s perverted moral opinions than to the divinely revealed laws of the Bible.
