"I have three things I’d like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don’t give a shit. What’s worse is that you’re more upset with the fact that I said shit than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night."

I think swearing is a no-no for Christians, but this definitely highlights the Christian focus on right and wrong over love and compassion. Many of us are legalistic (to some degree), sometimes forgetting that we’re saved by grace alone. Many of us behave in a manner reminiscent of the Pharisees rather than reminiscent of Christ.
We’re humans though, we’re flawed. I really just thank God for grace.
