Religion as Likened to Football

Posted on March 13th, 2008 in Blogroll by Kevin

I do not care for religion, I have been there and escaped from the other side. Looking at people who do ‘believe’ from the outside in you can compare it to football supporters.

1) You support the same team as your parents do (generally, some people will choose another team just to be difficult)
2) All other teams are inferior
3) You will defend your team to the death
4) You will try and convince those around you they are supporting the wrong team.
5) You can rattle off years of stats and useless information which holds no real value
6) Those who have no interest in football with sit there with a gazed expression as you whittle on about it
7) You hate supporters of the other teams for no real reason other than countless generations hating them before you. 8) If you decide at any point in your life to support another team, your old supporters will look on you as a traitor
9) Violence can break out between the 2 sides over a misunderstanding, leading to out and out war
10) Some people join up only to cause harm to others, and rejoice as their fellow supporters praise them for it.
Thanks
