You make such a very good point there. Also, it -is- very hypocritical of self-proclaimed devout Christians and Catholics who probably never stop to think of things that way. People are self-absorbed and think they're the only great things on this planet.

Sadly I see it in all religions.
Without getting pages and pages of rantiness, No matter how much they proclaim to be doing things "in the name of God" it's really that they want God to do stuff for them. They don't do good things because they should, they do it because they expect some divine pay off for "all their time"
That's not really a way to live. It makes them very selfish and cold all while spouting how much more moral they are. Do I pray and hope for change in my life? Yeah, totally.

I want to see things get better and while I can't control other people I can control myself ( ... )
