A wise pastor once said there are always "two ditches" (or extremes) one can fall into — and that a more sensible approach is one of balance.
Some of the arguing and wrangling I tend to hear in certain "spiritual circles" comes across to me as pride all wrapped up in intellectual rhetoric. An observation could be made:
The spirit of criticism finds a place to thrive among self aggrandized "theological correctness" and spiritual elitism.
With irony and humility I must concede this may come across as somewhat — um… critical.
