10 self-righteous questions that go through my head when I think I'm being clever...

"What do most Christians think is the best news source, Fox News or the Good News?"
"How can stadiums entice 80,000 people to get excited for four hours of freezing cold football but churches can't draw 80 people to praise God?"
"Why do many Christians think improving their house matters, but can't find a home for Jesus in their hearts?"
(related and just as self-righteous) "Why do people obsess about marble countertops for their kitchens but refuse to think about the streets of gold that are eternal?"
"How can Christians belly up to a half-acre sized buffet restaurant but refuse to think about feeding the poor in the 3rd world?"
"The Bachelor makes people think that a doomed relationship is real, but they act like a real relationship with Jesus Christ is unattainable?"
"How are people obsessed with cleaning out the trash from their houses but refuse to clean out the garbage in their lives?"
"Why do people spend so much time looking at a screen when they could better use that time looking into the face of the Savior?"
"Why do people obsess so much about the weather when they need to avoid the eternal fires of hell?"
"Would most Christian men think that tuning into SportsCenter is more important than centering their lives in Jesus Christ?"

Consider yourself shamed, people.  But rejoice, for my self-righteousness will return soon.
