"Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions"

- Jerry Falwell

About this Quote

This quote by Jerry Falwell suggests that Christians, like servants and soldiers, are expected to follow orders without concern. This suggests that Falwell believes that Christians need to be loyal and unquestioning in their faith, and that they ought to not question the authority of their leaders or the teachings of their faith. This might be analyzed as a call for blind faith and loyalty, and a lack of critical thinking. It could likewise be viewed as a criticism of those who question religious authority, or who challenge traditional beliefs. Eventually, this quote implies that Christians need to accept and follow the teachings of their faith without concern, which they should not challenge the authority of their leaders.
