Modern Love

How I long for the days when what was tearing us apart was literally tearing us apart. Not that the Church back then didn't have its own divisions and whatnot, but now we fight just for the hell of it. 90% of the theological bitch-fests I've seen in my own denomination have been less about serious differences in doctrine and more about people liking the sound of their own voice.
