A word for us bloggers...?

The stuff Jesus warned us to beware of, the yeast of the Pharisees, is so infectious today in the camps of both liberals and conservatives. Conservatives stand up and thank God that they're not like the homosexuals, the Muslims, the liberals. Liberals stand up and thank God that they are not like the war makers, the yuppies, the conservatives. It is a similar self-righteousness just with different definitions of evildoing. It can paralyze us in judgment and guilt and rob us of life.

Shane Claiborne, Irresistible Revolution, Zondervan 2006 - quoted by Rowland Croucher

I always thought I would have made an excellent pharisee. They were actually pretty good guys. Not like those saducees.
