The gap between what believers professed and how they lived. He saw it all with devastating clarity and called it honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen he discovered it was pride - the most adaptive sin, the one that learns to speak the language of faith so fluently that even the person speaking it cannot hear the accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Am a Misanthrope is a brutally honest exploration of what happens when a man who loves God realizes he has been using God's standards to do God's job. It is not a guide to loving difficult people. It is the confession of a man who finds people unbearable and has stopped pretending that makes him righteous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving together theology (Paul, Augustine, Bonhoeffer), psychology (Jung, Kernberg, Bowlby), and philosophy (Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, Cioran), Tiger traces the architecture of the believing misanthrope: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow contempt disguises itself as discernment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow isolation masquerades as integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the clearest sight in the room can belong to the blindest person in it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the judge's seat doesn't belong to you - not because you're wrong, but because you don't have the information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book does not promise transformation.
