With just a LITTLE effort; a person could make their OWN list!
And their OWN comments; too!
The bottom line is that if you take a stand for the light, you should be prepared to receive resistance from the darkness.
Oh, sho' 'nuff.
BUT
(1)Sometimes the tricky part is figuring out which side is the dark side and which the Luke Skywalker side; and
(2)Woe unto him by whom the resistance comes.
THe burden of my lament is NOT "How can it be that we are so mean to one another?" That is to be expected, as you say. It is, rather, "How, in the face of the failure of this meanness to produce amity, charity, or any clear good result, can we, Christians all, justify to ourselves persisting in the meanness?"
