When reading the Gospels it is striking how many people were possessed by demons.  During his ministries and travels, Jesus expelled evil spirits from people seemingly as many times as he healed the sick, lame and blind.  You, as well as I, would probably say we have never met anyone who was demon-possessed.  But, have you been to Washington D.C. lately?  If Jesus returned today, I think he would have his work cut out for him expelling the demons roaming the halls of Congress and the Whitehouse.

 

To thwart God's new covenant with man, Satan may have concentrated his minions in the holy land and that could explain the high number of evil spirits mentioned in the Gospels .  His plan may have been to hassle and weaken Jesus to the point where Jesus would have succumbed to the temptations offered by Satan.  Today, Satan may be concentrating his demonic minions in Washington D.C. as a means to sever from men the inalienable rights bestowed by God.  Satan lost to Jesus, but he's winning in Washington.  Certainly, my inalienable right to pursue happiness is more and more curtailed by a more and more repressive federal government.

 

There is no more glaring hypocrisy in a politician than claiming to be a Christian and supporting abortion rights.  Such politicians will usually state that they cannot impose their morality on others and that a woman has a right to make her own decision concerning an abortion.  The politicians then pass laws allowing abortions and fund institutions such as Planned Parenthood that enable abortions.  Due to these actions, politicians vitiate the morality of tax payers who are pro-life.

 

Consider the following syllogism:  (Major premise)  All support of abortion is immoral.

                                                   (Minor premise)  I pay taxes that support abortion.

                                                        (Conclusion)  Therefore, I am immoral.

 

I firmly believe the above major premise.  So, I am therefore an accessory to murder.  Thank you very much federal government, but I have more than enough sinfulness through my own wickedness without getting handouts from the government.  When I meet my maker, I can say I was a reluctant accessory to murder, if that helps any.  I don't think it will.  I am my brother's keeper and I am responsible for what the government does in my name.

 

The same politicians that claim it's wrong to impose their morality on others concerning abortion find nothing wrong in imposing their morality on the electorate when it suits their agenda.  Currently, these politicians are saying health care is a right and it is immoral not to provide it to all Americans.  Barack Obama has even gone to church leaders to recruit their support for his health care plan.  But, make no mistake, this isn't about him it's about doing the moral and righteous thing.

 

I could infer that these politicians are possessed by demons, but it's hard for me to see any self-respecting demons choosing these politicians over a herd of swine.  The demons would hardly make a change to their behavior.
