If the gospel changes you, you will never see anybody else, anywhere else, as being the enemy, the real problem with the world. It makes you more able to cooperate with people, more able to make common cause with people, therefore, ultimately more pragmatic and more willing to compromise, more willing to do things with people. . . . Only self-righteousness makes you look at other people, saying, “The people over there are the bad guys. They’re the real problem here.”43
