Meaning...those who just sit around and wait for God to give them everything. Following God's Will for your life means that you are an ACTIVE participant.
I have seen to many college students just lounge around, skip classes, blow-off work, perform poorly in acedemics, and look for the easiest path. This drive me mad. To me, that kind of attitude is more dangerous than someone that hates Christianity, because it leads people to believe that this lifestyle is what Scripture teaches

Forgive me for the frustration in my question, that is wrong of me.
But it is not wrong for me to ask the opinions of you and to discuss them.
If I were asking a question about adultery, stealing, or murder then it would be less controversial

I am not looking for immediate fulfillment...
I have been thought some trying times, and know that God's will is not revealed immediately.

hmmm they seem to be a little more industrious than you so maybe you want to rethink your question?

God does't intend for Christians to be sittting around, doing nothing. In fact, their life and actions are supposed to be an example for others.
Jesus told a parable about a householder giving his servants "talents" (Matthew 25:14-30). It speaks about how one of the servants didn't do anything with his talent.

I don't know any Christians who sit around waiting for God to drop things from the sky on them. God will not force ANYONE, (even one of His own children) to do something if they refuse to do it. He CAN, however, and most probably WILL, make you miserable in your laziness until you decide to get up off your behind and DO something!!! God is NOT proud of lazy children.....would YOU be????

No, because anyone who thinks that's what scripture teaches isn't looking hard enough at scripture in the first place.
I would try to find out if they're ignorant and apathetic, except I don't know and I don't care. =OP

My own backyard's a mess right now. In other words, it bothers me that I'm lazy and unmotivated . . . as for Christians, or anyone else being unmotivated and lazy, that's their problem. :) I just want to get my backyard cleaned up.

Stupidity--followed closely by deliberate laziness--are the two worst problems afflicting this society, if not humanity as a whole.

"wait" is a verb.
"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.."
Some Christians ( and alot of this generations 'immediate fulfillment' crowd) just don't get it.

Everyone who is unmotivated bothers me. People want this or that, but sit on their butts and expect things to drop in their laps. They disgust me.

And as a Christian, I have seen many aethists sitting round being lazy and claiming social.

It bothers me to see anyone who is lazy and unmotivated, but that's going to happen in every religion and race.

No...
You are thinking way too deeply into the actions of others friend.
Focus on yourself and project postive energy outward. It will rub-off occaisionally.
