I didn’t read anything in there that said people are going there as demonstrations of faith. It’s not like they are replacing Mass with America’s Pastime.

I never thought of that, or suggested it, so you've no argument with me there.

When I was a kid we always went to Scout night at the Ball park.

I'm not saying one can't have any kind of night one wants--religious or otherwise. I'm coming at this solely from the point of view of the faithful person and his or her motivation for this.

Some of it was reinforcement as a group, but mostly it was cheap tickets and you more knew the environment you were taking your family to. Some of these people are crazy about the whole environment thing (both ways.) The author (I bet) hates seeing God mentioned anywhere especially to an audience. Hence the disgust for Dungee and all of this.

What's really interesting is how the authors of these articles try to couch this as a disease spreading through the culture, infecting it in some way. If this were Muslim night, on the other hand, it would be an example of the American melting pot.

These people wouldn’t want to sit around me and my friends at a game. So they generally don’t go except maybe on faith night when I’m more likely to be at the pub cursing up a storm.

Thanks for your comments. Unlike a rather odd poster on this thread, you've actually made me understand why someone would want to go to this kind of event. Intelligence is always more convincing than persecution complexes combined with hysteria. ;)

The author of this story is Christian and faith bashing, You haven't. perhaps thats why people are getting worked up about..Asking questions to people pissed off about something religious usually isn't destined for success

If you can't figure out why some people wanted to go to this event then you are the odd fellow out?
