Making Unproven, Prideful Accusations

A personality trait that always raises a red flag with me is peoples’ tendency to make unproven, prideful accusations. This is rampant nowadays, especially in politics.

Too many people who say they are Christians are stating their unproven opinions and accusations as if they are facts. That’s the way to deception. Jesus said that many false prophets are coming. Don’t believe their unproven allegations! Put your hope in the risen Jesus, not in people who trash other people because they don’t like their political positions.

American politics has become like a wrestling show, with both candidates desperately taking turns slamming each other down and fiercely describing how evil the other one is. (What if they are both correct in their evaluation of each other?)

Because there is evil in all human beings and power tends to bring the worst of it out, the American government was set up in 3 branches so that no one person (or group of people) can have total power and control. Divided government can be frustrating, but it sure beats having all the power in the hands of one individual. Instead of “fighting” each other, America needs the people in power to find ways to peacefully work together. If you want one party to forcefully impose its will on the other, you are working against the foundational American concept of the separation of power.
