Modern-Day Moloch By Thomas E. Brewton
Worshipping the ancient Mediterranean god Moloch, and today's liberal-progressivism, both require sacrificing children on the altar of self-centered materialism.
As G. K. Chesterton wrote in ''The Everlasting Man,'' ancient Rome's great rival in the period of the republic was Carthage. Along with Tyre, at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, Carthage, in Chesterton's characterization, was a Phoenician city-state dominated by commercial councils who cared little for spiritual religion based on principles of morality and benevolence. Everything was measured in money and goods, even propitiating the gods and seeking their favor.
Carthage's principal deity was Moloch, a particular object of hatred by the Romans.
