Presumption
Presumption is a sin. I see both Democrats and Republicans presuming that they alone hold the truth. I see more than a few individuals that commit the sin of presumption. It's quite easy to do. In fact, it is this very sin that Satan tempted Jesus with.
Satan could have chosen sex, drunkeness, glottony, or any other sin. Instead, he chose the sin of presumption.
The devil said, "If you are the Son of God, then prove it, jump..."
Satan even quoted scripture.
He wanted Jesus to believe, us too, that Jesus could do anything he wished and God would have to take of him. But even we see the mistakes that can be made when people mistakenly believe this. We find out that God's protection doesn't mean acting contrary to His will.
Don't be tempted to play God.
