The evils of the left are pretty obvious to us because we are protesting them all the time.

How about the evils of the right, which together with the other evils comprise the evils of all mankind?

All these evils occur when something that is not God is afforded the place we should be affording to God.

In the case of the left, an example (and probably the main) usurped divine quality is lovingkindness. This gets assigned to a godless government (or supra-government entity like the UN) which proceeds to make a tragic hash of it, not having any picture of the purpose of life except to live unto the government.

In the case of the right, an example usurped divine quality is evangelism... yes, I said evangelism. I see all the complaints that Caesar’s government isn’t allowed to bring God into schools any more. Which sounds like a plausible place to bring blame for the godlessness seen in schools. Until we start seeing Facebook accounts of how kids, who never knew that it was supposed to be forbidden, bring a gospel mindset with them (meaning an actual personal allegiance to Jesus, not a bunch of philosophies).

By mis-estimating the place and power of God, both left and right err.

And me, I probably have not done this as well as I could either. I don’t present my essay as perfect, only as approaching the perfect compared with where most of the political world is. We have to treasure God again for all He is worth, and that privately, we can’t “let George do it.” Then we will see a source of salt and light once more that will keep and illuminate all that goes on around it.

The left tends to side against Christianity including Christian refugees from middle east countries where they are persecuted unlike the sunni refugees from Syria which the left love.
