My belief in Christ and the Bible leads me to be skeptic of government.

A temporary victory in the voting booth does not reverse a downward moral trend driven by cultural gatekeepers in news media, entertainment, art, and education.

Hence my observation that the "political pendulum" does not average out to "zero position." It is a left biased pendulum.

It ALWAYS swings a little more to the left than it has on the previous cycle, and NEVER returns to it's former right most extreme before reversing again.

The result is a constant leftward (downward moral) trend.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

Beware of those who themself think a good person;

for this goodness is generally manifest of a carnal desire;

often the embodiment of evil;

as a result truly a bad person is he.

 

He who thinks himself not a good person will inherently

stride through moral compulsion to make himself better;

never fooled by the pride he feels when good things result

thus ultimately a better person will emerge than those who suppose themselves good.

You are so right. We ought to please God rather than men.

And it was persecution that scattered Christians all over the Roman Empire and well beyond it.
