11 Signs a Christian May Have Crossed Over to the Political Darkside

  1. If you read this title and assumed that the darkside was one particular political party, you may have crossed over.
  2. If you never acknowledge that a particular political party or politician could ever do something righteous, you may have crossed over.
  3. If you never can admit that your political party has done something that is not righteous, you may have crossed over.
  4. If you never have a qualm about identifying yourself to others as both a Christian and a member of one political ideology, you may have crossed over.
  5. If you pillory, express loathing, contempt, and spread evil reports about government leaders, despite everything Scripture says about honoring the king, respecting those in authority over you, and displaying the character of Christ, you may have crossed over.
  6. If you believe in a sovereign God, and yet would entertain the idea of taking up arms against your own government, you may have crossed over.
  7. If you are angry because your church will not actively support a political party, you may have crossed over.
  8. If your response to intolerance and playing politics is to be intolerant and play politics, you may have crossed over.
  9. If you are willing to openly support a political candidate because of his party affiliation, despite the fact that his life opposes and repudiates a majority of what you believe, you may have crossed over.
  10. If your news comes primarily from one ideological source, you may have crossed over.
  11. If you have found delight in drawing horns on a photo of current political figure, or forwarded a picture of a horned leader, you may have crossed over.
