It's no accident that pro sports often resemble holy revival meetings. Devout athletes who praise God are coached by evangelical ministries with ties to the Christian right. But many players and fans feel left out of the huddle.
  • Enough is enough...

    F.Y.I., Justin C. and all the other right wingers out there who may be "listening"...

    If it weren't for the theocratic, political climate that exists today, as well as how the extreme fundamental religious right has attached itself like a parasite onto the Republican party, forcing their "religious", hate-filled views on everyone of us in the USA (and Middle East) via political puppets escorted into public office due to manipulation, fear and trickery, as well as the controlled, spineless media, your so called "libs" wouldn't be so defensive.

    A word of advice from someone who considers himself a moderate; live your life the way you see fit. Pray all you want to whomever you want. Don't have an abortion if you are against it. Don't marry a homosexual if you don't like homosexuals. But stay out of the lives of others. Stop trying to force your will on others who pay taxes and love this country. Stop accusing others of promoting an agenda, when it's you who are promoting your so-called, "Christian" aganda, which by the way is as un-Christian as it gets.

    Read your Bible-stop twisting it! Remember what Jesus said about false prophets? Remember what Jesus said about tolerance and loving thy neighbor? Remember his words about "judgement"? Fear, hate, intolerance all lead to Hell. Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Kirk Cameron, Fred Phelps, Focus on the Family, Concerned Women for America and the rest of the right-wing lunatics will no doubtedly, according to Jesus, be keeping ol' Satan plenty of company for an eternity.

    Enough is enough....
