A man in a posh car ends up broken down in a bad neighbourhood, and the gang around the car are acting in a threatening manner. The pick up truck driver arrives but he has to deal with the hoodlums. He says to the gang leader.
"Man, the world ain't supposed to work like this. I mean, maybe you don't know that yet. I'm supposed to be able to do my job without having to ask you if I can. That dude is supposed to be able to wait with his car without you ripping him off. Everything is supposed to be different than it is." Simon, in Grand Canyon (1991).
Everything is supposed to be different than it is.
The starting point of Christianity is that the world is broken and needs to be mended. You don't have to be a Christians to realise that the world is broken, however the question Christianity answer is how can it be mended.
