"Whether we call ourselves liberals or conservatives, there remains a flaw in the human species, a sin that clings to us as tribal creatures afflicted with a seemingly incurable disease: we would rather be right than loving. We would rather be correct than compassionate. We would rather be saved than seek justice. This is why it is so much easier to reach a verdict than to become a disciple. This is why the church is dying."
The Underground Church, Robin Meyers, 2012, p. 29.
