The Right to Rape and Murder?

Is freedom still possible in a culture that divorces law from morality? In this episode, we examine R.J. Rushdoony’s urgent warning from The Right to Rape and Murder?—a sobering critique of how modern legal systems, influenced by thinkers like the Marquis de Sade and Durkheim, have redefined morality as personal preference and elevated the state as lawgiver. From legalized abortion to the erasure of Biblical standards in the courtroom and classroom, Rushdoony traces the cultural collapse back to the church’s own compromise. But judgment begins in the house of God—and so does the hope of restoration.
