I've got this fire and brimstone preaching thing, where all it is is just bashing what other people are doing and very little in the way of trying to actually help their relationship with God grow. I get that from the church I go to. All they do is bash what other people are doing, and justifying themselves. Which I know to be something that's DEAD wrong. It's this stupid prophet personality that makes me look over a crowd and feel like Jonah did when he looked over Ninevah... you know, ohhhh they're gonna get it!! or, GOSH they're so stupid and ignorant, they need to burn, those sinners! Stuff like that. It's not Christ-like, it's stupid, and it's beginning to ruin my life and other's lives. It needs to GO. I'm NOT going to tolerate it, it's going one way or another. I hope I worded it better there...

i think the fact that you're aware of this attitude is a good thing though. You know you need to double check yourself before you speak and you know you need to be in prayer constantly that your words and your attitude will be tempered by the Holy Spirit.
You're human so expect to slip up and sin sometimes. Thats not to be taken as a condonement or anything but you do need to realize that you're never going to get it right 100% of the time. But its in our weaknesses that God is glorified. This is obviously an area you need help in and thats where you need God to be your strength. So like I said before, when your patience is running low and you're just ready to tell the world around you to go to hell because they're sinners then you need to step back and humble yourself and ask Him to be your strength where you are weak and be a blessing to those around you instead.
