What? All of them?

Here's my question. Are all of the christians just having a bad day? What's up with this? If you don't know where I work, let's keep it that way. But let's just say it's in a certain christian retail store. I won't go into how christian consumer culture in america really kills me...but these guys pay my bills, so i work for them. Now, as noted, it's difficult enough to keep on poking along in this environment because the principle of the thing just strangles me. But seriously, is it just me, or are "christians" not some of the most demanding, rude, loud, and demeaning people? I try to tell myself they're just not themselves at the moment. But i see them time after time... and no difference. Are they all just having a bad day...every day??
Why do we act this way?
Okay, so they're not all bad, and i'd like to think i'm one of the nice ones. But seriously people, are we just completely used to having our way? Why do we demand it perfectly and NOW! We run and scream whenever we hear of something as tiny as, for example, a small georgia county thinking of allowing alcohol to be served at restaurants or something dumb like that... and we forget that people all over the world are being ostracised, persecuted, killed, for their faith. And we just complain when we can't have it our way. We've become so blind to reality, it's incredible. Like i said, we focus on tiny issues that we don't even need to bother with. Instead, let's try loving people...not just non-christains, but we could even start with each other, for pete's sake. Instead of picketing for teetotaling, let's try giving the poor guy down the street some help with groceries. Instead of whining when Roe v. Wade isn't turned over year after year, let's talk with people about the decisions they're making. Instead of whining about the "liberals" (who, by the way, actually seem to know how to do a thing or two about poverty that we dont care about) let's actually do something. Or for starters, let's just care about other people.
I know i'm mad. don't mind me. think amongst yourselves...
perhaps when i'm in a better mood i'll make a rational discourse of how our worldview is messed up...
