Sure, we're a Christian nation

I remember on September 12, 2001, I was reading an advice column. The columnist was so infuriated over the events of the day before that most of the column was his venting. But he did answer 1 letter. The poster had sent him an email during the attacks - while one of the towers was actually falling. The columnist sputtered on and on, venting all sorts of disgust at this human who was more concerned about his sex life than with the death of thousands of innocent Americans.
Today I was listening to K-Love (Christian radio) and they were talking about yesterday's horrific earthquake in Haiti. They talked about the poverty there, about how there are many missionaries there, etc. I switched stations to classic rock and was instantly hit with an advertisement for some woman's burlesque show. And that, right there, is the kind of Christian nation we are. We are completely capable of focusing on our own enjoyment even while our own countrymen are dying, much less when people outside our country are suffering.
I'm not saying we have to go around wringing our hands all the time (which we surely would if we were attuned to all the daily suffering in the world). But we could all benefit from some occasional hand-wringing, a little less focus on self and a little more focus on those around us.
