There can be no single stupider thing than adults spending hundreds of dollars to put a small ball in a hole. As long as one child doesn’t have enough food, God must put golfers in a special kind of hell.
Are you against all sports, or just golf?
That's certainly not the stupidest thing ever posted to FR, but it's right up there.
Those who think they know what God is thinking and spew their wisdom accordingly, really have a special place in hell.
Then there must also be places for restaurant diners, computer owners...
Get my drift?
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, no matter how idiotic it is.
I suggest you disconnect your computer service, and give the money to the poor.
I will be out on the course, in the beauty of nature that God made, thanking Him for people like you.
Have a nice day!
“...no single stupider thing...”
Spending time sniping at golf does not help starving children.
What do you do for recreation? I like backpacking but it winds up costing about what a nice golf holiday would cost.
Albert Schweitzer worked in the most direct way possible to help the sick, the poor, and the hungry but the lasting results are difficult to see. Converting Animists and Mohammedans to Christianity would help African poor more than any other program. But “the poor are with you always”.

My son, 13 years old, is playing golf for the school team. I could not be happier with this sport. The sport teaches discipline and a sense of self-worth. When he gets home from golf practice or a golf meet, he practices some more to work on what he felt was not right that day.
He is not getting into trouble with kids in the neighborhood. I really don’t believe that is stupid.
Wow - Are you gonna get smoked. So if you go to a movie are you going to a special hell for enjoying yourself. How about a cruise or vacation?
Might I ask why you clicked on this post? Was it only to insult others by use of a liberal talking-point?
Oh, and God doesn't put anyone in Hell...you'll do that all by yourself.
Hospice Nurse you think you are above a golfer ? you don’t know one thing about any of those Golfers in there spare time. Half of them could be donating time to the other entities of the Largest Hospice Provider in the USA and Probably are!
I’ve been a follower of golf, although I have never been very good at the game, ever since I started caddying at a southern private country club, back in 46. (You know, Ben Hogan,Sam Snead, Bobby Jones, etc.).
The fellowship, the fresh air, and the excercise make it all worthwhile, and, plus the bonus seeing reports of the courtesy of the players and the fans.
As to a special place God has provided for for golfers, most of the golfers I have known have been most generous to the needy and poor.
As I see it, God never prepared hell for people, but it was prepared for Satan and his angels. (Matthew 25:41).
Actually it is for the: “....the fearful, the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and the whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake of fire which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8).
Is that you Michelle?
How about spending tens of billions....twice...saving a car company that goes bankrupt two weeks later? Is that more, or less "stupider" than golf?
God puts people like you in the world to test the faith of the rest of us.
Thanks for the help in my continuing education paper, “Does Caring Interfere with Fun?”
George Carlin? Is that you? I thought you were dead.
