Does no one else find it disturbing that “christian” has become another niche to market, and another theme to exploit? I ran across this NY Times article that details the ways sports teams are now marketing “Faith Night” to religious people.
Apparently a baseball game that has scripture references on player’s uniforms and Noah bobbleheads is a “spiritual” event. Is this really what Christianity has become in our society? A culture and not an ideology? A set of products to buy, instead of a method for living?
I don’t even know what else to say. But if anybody wants to buy some indulgences, I totally have a hookup. Let me know.

Yes, I find this disturbing, but not the connection between sports and religion. They're more alike than most people realize. Have I ever told you how well the book of common prayer litugy and the events of a college football game compare? They're not joking when they call it a religion.
By the way, it was a football team that put the scripture on their jersey's. Just when I thought you were becoming a sports fan...
Don't think of it as disturbing. Think of it as research material!
