Really?

[swagmonkey]

Our guest preacher at church this morning just compared the spirit of Red Sox nation to the spirit of God. Come on, really?

I don't find that at all surprising. I've been to lots of churches, and never felt as full of a greater spirit as I did when singing "Sweet Caroline" along with the crowd in Fenway Park.

Eh, no offense meant, but I think you find this comparable mostly because you don't believe in God. Okay, so I don't either, but I think for anyone who really believes strongly in God, for whom serving God is among the major purposes of life (if not THE purpose of life), this would be a really tenuous proposition...

Heh. I can actually imagine one of our pastors using something like this...to be fair though, not to carry the entire sermon. More like an introduction or something...and she definitely believes in God.

Eh, okay, so maybe more people think this is reasonable than I realized.

It didn't "carry the entire sermon". It just caught my attention because I thought it was ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong...I kind of agree with you about it being a little ridiculous - but then, I think that Boston's obsession with all things Red Sox is kind of ridiculous in general :-)
