It seems we’ve got this rush-to-judgement in our DNA – when we were hunter gatherers, we needed to know at a glance whether a wild animal, for example, was dangerous.   Of if someone posted a threat – stopping to worry about prejudice didn’t come into it. It was a matter of life and death. So, today, we still can’t help ourselves, to a degree … but what we CAN do is recognise this genetic programming and check ourselves.   It’s a Christian thing to do.   We’re no longer being attacked by sabr
