We Disagree!

A casual observation of human nature will reveal one common characteristic, WE DISAGREE.
Some of us will agree on most things. Others will agree on some things. But none of us will agree on everything! Why can't we accept that truth? Why can't we disagree agreeably, rather than lashing out at those we disagree with. What is wrong with us?

As a whole, Christian people are no better at this than the rest of the population. When we don't get our way we try to punish the people we hold responsible. We move to another church or we withold our contributions, or worse yet, we viciously attack (slander) the person or group we disagree with.

There have always been those with the childish attitude that says "if I can't be the quaterback, I'll take my football and go home". But we seem to have escalated to the point where now, not only do some want to take their football and go home, they want to burn down the stadium as well!
