When You’re Only Against Whatever/Whoever
“As many contemporary thinkers have pointed out, when you create an identity by despising other groups, it makes you dependent in many ways on them. Ironically, the ‘other’ becomes part of who you are. You need for them to stay in their place and to fit your stereotypes of them. And if something threatens your one-dimensional, negative view of them, it shakes your very foundations.”
—Tim Keller, late pastor and prolific author in the contemporary Reformed tradition
