Elsie a little fanatical I would say. Only a LITTLE? DAMN! I'm slipping!!! [Elsie, #852]

Is this behavior that you believe is Christ-like? As a follower of Jesus Christ and in His Name, I am asking you to stop this. [ohioWfan]

Yeah, Elz...keep this up and who knows where this fanaticism might lead?...might even lead to you picking up a cross & following people who fanatically went to the cross to actually be tormented on behalf of others...

Such fanaticism must be checked, elsewise "prim & proper Christianity" is threatened!

Besides, Elz, why can't you channel your fanaticism into something considered "OK" by ALL FREEPERS -- like sports for example -- vs. your Christian faith?

Why can't you be like Ohio fans?...who ensure that...
...the biggest NFL stadium would be in Cleveland (former stadium held 81,000) -- tho now with their revised 73-thou in newer stadium is slipping...
...they built the 4th-largest stadium capacity in college football? (Ohio State)

If you would only channel fanaticism into these arenas, you would be "OK" & wouldn't be frowned upon on FR...
...because, after all, we know that Christians wouldn't possibly engage in football fanatical behavior...Why...that might be unChrist-like!

On the other hand...
...maybe there aren't any Christians who engage in sports/football fanaticism...
...After all, fanaticism of any sort may be subject to Freeper frowns...
...And I haven't seen any sports fanatical frowns around here, Elz, have you?
...And since we know these frowning Christians wouldn't unfairly single out only one type of fanaticism -- that they would treat it even-handedly across the board (vs. qualifying themselves as dual-faced religious hypocrites)...
...we know just know in our heart of hearts we would have heard from FREEPERs frowning upon that level of fanaticism if Christians were involved in sports fanaticism!

So must be ONLY pagan-heathens who are those Browns & Buckeyes' fans!

I have no idea what you were trying to do with that post, but it came across as muddled and strange.

And kinda pointless, I think.........but I'm not sure.......

Perhaps you can reword it so it makes sense?

btw, last I checked, the Indians were in first place in their division. So there! ;*)
