On Compromise
Faith groups tend towards absolutes. It's the nature of the beast; we form groups and then define ourselves in contrast to everyone else. Political groups work the same way in the early stages of an election.
What compromises should we make though, really, to be a part of a religious or political group? It appears that people are leaving political parties and denominations at about the same rate. Is this flight from group identities actually a resurgence of individualism?
