The context of being united in the Christian sense is being united under one type of belief. That belief is at war with all the rest:
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. Matthew 10

Interestingly enough, just the other day, I had (almost) this exact same conversation with the real Ceeboo (my eleven real old boy).
Great post, honor! And I could not agree with you more!
Thanks Ceeboo. Maybe there is something about having 11 year old children that triggers these kinds of thoughts? I'd say something cliché about great minds, etc., etc., but I don't fill up to that billing and know you well enough to expect you'd politely deflect the compliment. So, let's say we chalk it up to "great kids help us think alike". Or something like that.

I've been looking for an old thread and it's been interesting seeing these conversations from around the Romney-Obama contest in light of the current partisanship. We haven't so much come a long ways as much as we've seemed to be reaching an even more critical velocity downward...
