"When you don't see yourself as being part of a common community of sinners, you become trapped by your own bitterness; it is impossible to forgive someone if you feel superior to him/her." ~ Tim Keller, Prodigal God, p. 55
... if you've been able to make it through my wandering musings on the problems with being good - and particularly if they have intrigued you or pissed you off - check out Keller's Prodigal God book for yourself. It's the best explanation I've found on how we react to authority as humans. Best of all, it's not much longer than this series of posts, and a lot easier to read! :)
