In this episode of Biblical Anarchy, Jacob Winograd unpacks a provocative question: why do many Christians fixate on sexual immorality—like drag shows and pornography—while giving a pass to the far greater evils of state-sanctioned violence, unjust wars, and economic destruction? Reflecting on a recent controversy involving journalist Glenn Greenwald, Jacob challenges the Christian right’s disproportionate outrage and argues for a biblically faithful hierarchy of sin that prioritizes justice, peace, and human dignity. Drawing from Genesis, Romans 13, and libertarian political theory, he emphasizes that not all sins are equal in consequence, and that the Church must recenter its ethical focus.
Jacob explores how empire, war, fiat currency, and welfare dependency are more destructive to God’s design for society than the private sins often targeted by culture warriors. He examines the etymology and meaning of “degeneracy,” critiques Andrew Wilson’s response to Greenwald, and proposes a better framework for Christian moral outrage—one rooted in the gospel, ordered liberty, and proper spheres of authority. Whether you’re a libertarian Christian or a skeptical traditionalist, this episode invites you to reexamine what truly threatens human flourishing.
