People don't see that the path is peace not contentions and its unity not divisions. They think they can be divided and untied at the same time but to me this is impossible. Divisions mean there is heresy as Paul said. I can't fellowship with heresyYes, sometimes there are those of us who are "Lone Rangers," if even for the moment. And we shouldn't be shunned or shunted by the rest of the Church for having our own reflective gifts.
Just keep in mind, though, SOL, that you're "in the Body of Christ" whether you sit at home or in the local church building pew and the 'bickering' you see on CF is an unfortunate but continuing expression of the historic splits between Christians that have taken place in the past several centuries.
It's not your fault; it's just the nature of human shortcomings within the societies of the world and among Christians.
And as Blaise Pascal once said, “All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room
