Christians & Political Hypocrisy

Over the last several years, I've found a serious problem among Christians when it comes to the subject of Politics. While it seems that many are serious about political issues, most aren't very serious about discussing the biblical merits of being politically involved. In other words, does the Bible mandate or even allow political involvement for Believers?

That problem in discussing this issue? Hypocrisy!

The hypocrisy lies in one simple fact that I'm seeing more and more in this day and age. No one wants to contemplate anything that might cause them to change their present lifestyle. They simply want to maintain the status quo. And if that status quo happens to be the current popular thought about Christians and politics, so be it.

The end result? For me, alot of short and / or shallow conversations.
