WORSE THAN ADDICTION

Author Andrew Klavan is fond of saying that anger is "the devil's cocaine". 

He's right. Anger is addictive. It feels so good sometimes.

Anger, though, is most often only a symptom of a deeper problem: self-righteousness. 

Self-righteousness expresses itself in more than just anger, though. To name a few, there's virtue signaling and feeling offended and looking down on others.

Worst of all, self-righteousness keeps you unaware of your need for Christ's righteousness. Worse than addiction, it is flat out deadly to one's spirit. 

So if anger is the devil's cocaine, self-righteousness is the devil's fentanyl.
