There are two political parties in the US. Some claim there are more, but those others are just variations on the basic two. First is the materialistic middle-class pretentious liars. Their moral self-image is a false front, a moral depravity of its own. Second is the libertine folks who commit the same gross sins, but do so openly. Thus, the only real conflict is whether those sins should be publicly condemned, not whether anyone should engage in them. The whole debate is inherently materialistic.
The single greatest lie of Western Civilization has always been that there can be no hidden moral agency in the universe. That is, everything about our world is inherently discernible with the five senses. The heart is just an organ that pumps blood. Everything is down to a matter of physics and chemistry. It is a doctrinal assumption that, sooner or later, all things must be discerned by human agency. In the meantime, when anything is inexplicable by that approach, the difference between the two real parties is what brand of mysticism they permit.
Both are shallow and false. The first group says that there must be some deity who keeps us in the dark about it, but that said deity will reward those who persist in keeping certain silly rules, at least in public. Their god demands the silly charade. The second group says that there is no god, and that we are held back by our silly moral rules. We just need to embrace reality with our spirits, thus making a deity of the fallen human will.
The variations between these two basic positions are not of a different type, but a difference in degree and flavor. Very few Americans have any consciousness outside the boundaries of this essential debate. These two parties also represent two branches of the same basic materialistic religion.
I would add that both factions are equally blind to the fundamental immorality of their positions while, being certain of their own moral superiority over the opposing group. They are, as our Lord put it, blind guides.
