Can't we all just get along?

I try to avoid the Religion board and that has kept me out of trouble here the last few years, but I'd submit that many of our problems both in government and in our churches have come from a "get along, go along" mentality. I would suggest a better ask would be to not get along in a civil manner.

Yes, I know. That was tongue in cheek. ;

Besides that, it was pointed out to me recently that Jesus did not come as a uniter. He came as a divider.

Devolving into name calling and spurious false accusations is the big problem from what I can see.

Nobody can read another’s mind.

Also, there is the taking something wrong. I’ve seen people take offense at something quite innocuous. Tone of voice and inflection cannot be transmitted via the written word.

“I try to avoid the Religion board and that has kept me out of trouble here the last few years”

Good advice. There are a lot of very nasty, un-Christian attitudes there. Of all places, on the “Religion Board.”
