So, why can’t we all just get along? Well, the bottom line is the fact that we are all conceived and born in sin (Ps. 51:5), and every inclination of our hearts is evil all the time (Gen. 6:5). It is our nature to be at odds with one another.
The broader answer to this question however is that it is usually asked in a rather whinny voice that begs for the one asked to change their opinion to agree with the whiner, in other words, when someone whiningly says, “Why can’t we all just get along?” my response is, “We can, if you agree with me.” And so the implication that the problem of why we cannot get along is my fault, the charge is reversed and the onus is put back on the one asking the question.
New challenge, how about one of my favorites, discern what is wrong with the following statement:
I don’t go to church because my parents made me go as a child (or because I don’t like the pastor, or I don’t like organized church, or any other reason, fill in the blank).
