What else is there?

Why, when chairing a North American leftist Christian student organization, would I expect there to be anything less than strong personalities, conflicting work ethics, opposing perspectives on governance, and weeks and months of tears, border disputes, rhetoric, accusations of being "difficult" and and endless supply of white middle class men with ( Read more... )

Pray for them, my son.

Better yet, pray for your sanity.

Maybe if you stopped being difficult then you wouldn't have so many problems.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha! Just kidding!

The hardest thing to deal with is the unconscious arrogance of conscious power, and there seems to be an abundace of it among white middle class men. It makes life hard sometimes, but we just have to keep on plugging and make the best we can of it.

Probably because too many people, when they think of all the things that describe who they are, put "Christian" as an adjective that subtly modifies a more important subsequent noun, rather than as the all-important noun at the end. Rather than gay Christians, leftist Christians, white Christians, Canadian Christians, etc. we have Christian gays, Christian leftists, Christian whites, Christian Canadians, etc. - rather than being fundamental core beliefs to live one's life by, Christianity becomes the condiment of the month.

Then again, if one reads the New Testament, one sees exactly the same kinds of issues, so I guess we're all ed ;)
