“I have trouble with both the old and the new portrayals of cowboys and Indians. Why? “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 NET)]. But movies like “Avatar” divide the world into good guys and bad guys, and the bad guys are always the other side. How can we hope to build community in a pluralistic world with such a “us-them” approach to settling conflicts? We don’t need this in Malaysia, or Nigeria, or anywhere. Truth is, the primary divide is not between human beings. The primary divide is between a Holy God and a fallen humanity. And we are all on the same side of this divide.”
