When I read this quote this morning, a few situations instantly came to mind. Some within the church at-large. Some within the political realm. It's so interesting how pride (whether religious or secular, conservative or liberal) gives people such permission for hate-mongering. Whew...not attractive in the least. AND...not contributing to real change remotely.
Having opinions is one thing, and it's not inappropriate to stand up for what's right. Look at Martin Luther King. Doing so without compassion and humility, though, is completely counter-productive. It actually fuels the rage.
...and in my opinion...it's inexcusable.
