The Fires of Moloch

A recent tweet about the ancient deity Moloch by a conservative Talk Show Host has lit up some folks (get it?). In essence he tweeted that the white liberal women (specifically) “will throw their own children (and yours) into the fires of Molech without the slightest bit of hesitation.”

Now… that’s the kind of reference that seems arcane. The truth is that most of the people who read it or heard about it probably had no clue what he was talking about. But you need to understand that for those of us who accept the torah (or Old Testament) as scripture, there are some VERY specific things that G-d told us about Moloch.

And as we watch what is happening in our world today, those fires that Moloch worshipers used to destroy their children may have become metaphorical, but they are every bit as real as they were three thousand years ago…
