Government Question

Question: Many Americans choose their political opinions based on self interest. On balance do you think using political activity to promote one’s own interest is a healthy or unhealthy tendency in the political system?

As a Christian, I ask the question if we are not promoting are own interests whose interest are we supporting? Are we not endorsing an interest that is a contrary to Christ which means that we would be advancing the cause of the wicked and their master. And the Scripture's state very clearly that you can not serve two contradicting masters; “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON (Luke 16:13 NKJ.)" Therefore as a God fearing Christian there is no other choice for me then to promote political interests that are consistent with the biblical standard.
