What are the ethical premises, and the correlated psychology, of these leftist lechers, who self-righteously profess fidelity to feminism, yet literally assault and rape women in their spare time? The same question holds for pedophile priests or evangelical characters - like Roy Moore (allegedly), Jim Bakker, or Jimmy Swaggart - who profess pious devotion to religious precepts which they proceed to violate in the most heinous ways. My contention is that when one feels morally validated by his internal philosophy, projecting his piety socially through virtue signaling, it serves to create a kind of blanket absolution for his own personal sins. Now, in the case of a pedophile priest or evangelical, it's obvious where absolution lies - repentance and forgiveness from God. But where does the atheist progressive go for moral absolution? Answer: The Church of the Left.
