'We don't do that': the classroom and communal restraint

One host offers the fifth-grade classroom analogy: remove the teacher and the kids go wild throwing paper airplanes — someone has to teach them to 'act like a human,' and the same holds in church, family, and life. Another host frames it as the communal love of 'we don't do that' rather than 'I don't do that': sin is communal because creation is interconnected, so behavior that breaks God's design carries a community cost. Modernity's belief that unconstrained freedom unlocks the best self is called 'chronological arrogance,' with a Van Gogh caveat — artists who knowingly traded money and status are a different case.
