People are evil, people are foolish

In the news today, I read of an Atlanta, Georgia man who "accidentally" left his 22 month old son strapped in his car seat in his Suburban while he worked in his office.  He said that at the end of the day, he returned to his vehicle to find the boy dead.  Later evidence showed that he had been in his vehicle during lunch.  The man is being charged for murder with a possible death penalty. 
I next read an article about a 25 year old woman who beat her 4 year old son to death because he "walked and talked gay".  She and her boyfriend beat him so badly that his intestines burst.  The boy died two days later from septic poisoning.
I cannot even begin to articulate how angry this makes me.  These situations and so many others are wrong in so many ways.  These people who are supposed to love and care for these little children are doing the opposite.  The only people these children have and depend on are failing them. The evil being perpetrated in these situations is beyond my comprehension. 
In addition to this familial failure is the failure of the church.  If everyone in the church would be reaching out and involving themselves in the lives of those around them, situations like this could be greatly minimized or eradicated.
But we are too distracted.  We are too busy with entertainment and pleasures. We get angry when we have to wait in line at the grocery store.  We get angry when our favorite sports team loses a game.  We get angry when our internet connection isn't fast enough.  But we don't get angry at sin and suffering.  We sit on our leather couches playing video games on large screen tv's.  We eat $100 dinners and drink $50 bottles of wine.  We complain if the pastor isn't funny or talks too long.
America has become the land of the easy and complacent.  American evangelicalism is the self created self sustaining fabrication of the self willed man.  We want to be rich and comfortable and not be bothered by anything.
Our foolishness is made painfully evident in the suffering of those around us, while we ignore them.
