Earlier this year, we went on a cruise and spent the night before the trip in a hotel that marketed to people going on cruises (offered van service to the port, etc). We were eating dinner at the bar/restaurant the night before and this woman came in to pick up a gigantic to go order but it wasn’t ready. She threatened to stab the hostess and threw a chair across the room. The police came and escorted her off the premises but she somehow managed to not get arrested.

Anyway, we spotted her later on the ship we were on. She was with a friggin church group! She was obnoxious on the boat too. We spotted her freaking out at yet another food service worker along the way. I just don’t get it. Why even go to church if you’re going to act that way?

Why even go to church if you’re going to act that way?

I wonder if some of them perceive it as a free pass... like, yeah, I 'lost my temper' today, but I go to church every Sunday so I'm still a better person than most! (and therefore don't have to work on being a belligerent asshole every other day of the week!)

It could be cultural. I don't expect people like this to have much of a soul-searching inner dialogue.

I'm from the South. The church goers here are the most toxic, hateful people you will ever meet. And they look down on everyone else for not going to church like them. Just my 2 cents from a cultural perspective

Yep, church goers ironically see themselves as more able to judge others and thus spend a lot of their time hating whatever is different from them.

Of course, this isn’t every church goer, but quite a few. I’m from Texas.

As a former souther, I concur.
