I feel a rant coming on...

So, I'm watching the family edition of the Amazing Race. This version of the show is turning out to be anything but amazing (it's supposed to be a race around the world, not a tour of the USA, people), although that's not what's really bothering me.

What's bothering me? The family from Florida. They talk a lot of smack about living the Christian way, but then proceed to call other contestants "retards" or "desperate" housewives, throw food at them, ask randoms to basically hold them up or give them bad directions and, worse of all, make fun of the father of one of the families for being a garbage collector. This, coming from a family that looks like they're no strangers to trailer parks (let's not get into the belts masquerading as pants worn by the daughters).

Granted, I never paid that much attention to my theology classes when I was a student at a Roman Catholic elementary school, but I don't recall stories of that Jesus fellow putting other people down or going out of his way to screw with them. Not suprising for a guy whose father was a "lowly" carpenter.

So, if you're going to around being obnoxious and rancid all the time, that's fine by me, but don't go bawling to Phil about how the others don't like you -- maybe if you were *actually* living the Christian way, they would! 'Nuff said.
