I would say that wrongdoing or sin is a universal issue.
To obsess on some groups and to be worried about other people with all my energy doesn’t help me to be closer to my God.
It’s my experience that all this energy could be best directed in the direction of myself and reducing my pride and increasing my humility.
(Funny how comments like this NEVER seem to wind up on "Knock-out game" threads; homeowner/store clerk shoots burglar or home invasion or robber threads; or rape and/or murder threads...why is that your inconsistency shows in failing to make such comments on those criminal threads???)

Likewise...I've noticed some FR posters who've thru the years have put up a LOT of...
...Muslim terrorist threads...
...or educator sexually abuses student threads...
...or one the above-mentioned topical threads...
...or anti-Obama threads...
...or ObamaCare threads...
...or they've just commented a lot on Kennedy-related threads...
Pray tell, where are your reminders on ANY of those threads that they don't "help me to be closer to my God"???
And...do you go around accusing ANY of those FREEPERs of "obsessing"/worrying "with all...energy" over Obama or JFK? If not, why not?
Why do you assume it's "ALL my energy" as if even more than a few hrs are spent focusing on this matter on the average week? Or you assume that people somehow can't multi-task in their opposition to certain things? (For example, not long after I posted this thread, I posted an ObamaCare thread)
It’s my experience that all this energy could be best directed in the direction of myself and reducing my pride and increasing my humility.
Please give me just one link on ANY FREEPER thread -- for example on ANY of the above-named topics -- where you've made a similar comment....
(Tapping my foot...not actually expecting you being able to do that)
And how is it that your "energy" concentrated on the Jim Jones cult on a Nov. 12 post: "The “Reverend” Jim Jones proclaimed his People’s Temple Marxist when the Kool Aid mass suicide and murder occurred in Guyana back in the 1970’s."

How does that cult-comment help your own humility?
Are only some cults worth comments? (But others aren't?)
Will you be able to answer ANY of these questions with ANY kind of religious consistency?
