“If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door…but you should rule over it.” – Genesis 4:7

The first case of envy leading to violence was when Cain killed Able. Cain was envious of Able because of the perceived difference in God’s acknowledgement.

Envy is a feeling of discontent that can lead to a desire to covet and/or commit violence. Envy is a deadly sin. It’s captured in the last of the Ten Commandments, “Thou shall not covet.” Immanuel Kant described envy as the “tendency to perceive with displeasure the good of others.” Envy and a victim mentality are two sides of one coin. Envy is the sin, and a victim mentality justifies acting on it, not to “rule over it”.

While the political left struggles to define the Democrat party’s brand message since losing the presidency in 2024, it still clings to Marxist philosophy. Marxism encourages division and envy between two disparate groups, the oppressed and oppressors, and creates victims and the victim mentality.

What is a Victim Mentality?

Adopting a victim mentality means we have been harmed by a terrible world and have limited choice for action. We feel powerlessness. We blame our injury on others or circumstances outside our control. We avoid personal responsibility.

There is a difference between being a victim and having a victim mentality. At 22 Charles Krauthammer suffered a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed. Dr. Krauthammer went on to graduate from Harvard with an M.D.; become a syndicated columnist for the Washington Post appearing in over 400 newspapers; win a Pulitzer Prize; become a commentator on the nightly Fox News program; write many books. Could he accomplish all this with a victim mentality? Surely not. Being a victim means something happened to you. Having the mentality of a victim means you succumb to envy, blame others, fail to learn and fail to use all your talents.

“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” - Genesis 3:13

Adam and Eve Both Demonstrated a Victim Mentality

In Genesis, Adam and Eve were given very specific instructions by God to avoid the tree in the center of the Garden of Eden. The wicked and cunning serpent (Satan) lied to Eve about the fruit of the tree of knowledge. So, she ate the fruit from the tree and offered some to Adam who also ate.

When confronted by God, Eve blamed the serpent (Genesis 3:13) and Adam blamed Eve (Genesis 3:12). They demonstrated the human flaw we all share. Although humans are flawed, we each have a choice to avoid sin (rule over it). We can either succumb to envy, adopt a victim mentality, or we can take personal responsibility, ask for forgiveness and learn.

“Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.” – Ecclesiastes 7:20

God Wants Us to be Whole, The Left Wants Dependence

“Do you want to be made well?” – John 5:6

Jesus saw a man with an illness he had for 38 years. He was sitting near a pool of water that was blessed by an angel. Every time an angel touched the water, the first person to touch it was healed of their illnesses. Jeus asked the man if he wanted to be healed. Instead of answering “yes” he made an excuse:

“Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up.” – John 5:7

His victim mentality blocked his ability to answer Jesus’s question and to uncover an option to be healed. The Marxist philosophy encourages dependence, envy, discontent, and even violence while the Bible encourages action to achieve wholeness and healing.

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

— 1 Thessalonians 5:18

The victim mentality also stunts happiness by discouraging gratitude.

“Because gratitude is the key to happiness, anything that undermines gratitude must undermine happiness. And nothing undermines gratitude as much as expectations. There is an inverse relationship between expectations and gratitude: The more expectations you have, the less gratitude you will have.” – Dennis Prager

“If men were angels, no government would be necessary” – James Madison

How The Left Encourages a Victim Mentality

The following fake crisis events affirm the oppressed oppressor environment and encourage feelings of envy, powerlessness:

• The video by 6 Democrat veterans recommending military personnel ignore illegal orders suggests soldiers are victims of tyrannical leadership even though they could not offer an example.

• The “No Kings” protest opposed a “fake” authoritarian crisis. The protest objected to the completely legal mass deportations while claiming the President was violating civil rights.

• The claim of global warming and climate crisis justify wasteful investments in ineffective alternative sources of energy while discouraging or eliminating fossil fuels as an energy source. This messaging pits scientists against scientists and climate activists against climate deniers. Everyone becomes a helpless victim of circumstances beyond their control.

• The left claims ICE Agents are illegally arresting citizens. This has caused a spike in assaults on ICE agents while they attempt to fulfil their lawful actions.

• The social justice and racial justice movements claim the unequal distribution of wealth is primarily due to unfair treatments and/or systemic racism. These suggest that powerless circumstances are the major cause. This belief downplays the impact of poor personal decisions such as pregnancies outside of marriage, lack of effort, lack of education, poor health choices, drug use, etc.

• Gender ideology pits men against women, straight against gay, transgender rights against women’s rights in locker rooms, bathrooms and sports. The simple scientific and biblical truths that there are only two sexes are ignored. This creates envy, conflict, and even violence (i.e. Tyler James Robinson and Matthew Crooks).

These often “fake” narratives, stoke feelings of envy, anger, racism, unequal pay, unequal rights, and powerlessness. The political left benefits from motivated voters who give them the power to “solve” these often “fake” issues.

Summary

Humans are flawed. The political left exploits the flaw as the serpent did in the Garden of Eden with Eve. Do you vote for politicians who promote personal responsibility consistent with Biblical teachings that encourage gratitude, self-reliance, and learning? Do you vote for those who promote wholeness or dependence? Or do vote for those who encourage debilitating envy, dependence and a victim mentality? Of course we must help those in need. Can we help and still stop short of creating these damaging conditions?

“Be on the alert,” he said, “for you do not know which day your Lord is coming” - Matthew 24:42

The Bible provides the better option. We can choose to find a way to “enter the healing water” and encourage others to do the same. We can choose to ignore the advice of the “serpent”. We can choose wisdom, courage and creativity and vote for politicians who encourage personal responsibility. Which will you choose?
