Why do people, both on the political left and right, get so angry that they decide to kill political figures with whom they disagree? Why is it happening in America even more, lately? Why do people murder state lawmakers in Minneapolis, and kill Christian political activists in Utah, and nearly succeed in slaying presidential candidates—all in the past 15 months?
Sure, “sin” is a cheap answer. It’s a good Sunday School answer, but it’s still a safe and lame answer. What is causing human sinfulness to show itself in this way? It’s because we let political passions become our life. That’s very bad.
