Is spending money on flames tickets while others are hungary any less chritian or disgusting to you? If so why? At they very least spending money on the dogs is helping a life (albeit not a very important one to you)
I guess all flames ... well really sports fans and anyone else that has an extra dollar in their pocket is going to hell right?
You know most people on here who post and I disagree with I at least respect their position as a 'possible'. I think Lanny and Looger are nuts with their 9/11 beliefs but at the very least their views are at some level plausable and require rational thought.
Your little string of insight here is the first that I can remember where someone is just off their rocker. You are are discriminating against views towards anaimals, which although heartless is fine as a view, but to say that this type of discretionary spending is somehow worse than other kinds of discretionary spending is just rediculous.

1) I would be interested how excessive interest or spending in/on Flames/sports is reconcilable with a good christian life. I have no idea how it could be. I don't think god would be impressed when you got to heaven and told him you spent ~$30,000 and thousands of hours of your life on a silly game while millions were dying around the world largely as a result of your cushy lifestyle.
2) Therefore all discretionary spending is, i agree, questionable. I am sure there must be some reasonable cut off some place. Like a warm home and decently good food. But such luxury as pet surgical services for senior citizen cats and Flames season tickets? I don't know....
3) I am mostly curious how you can reconcile one with the other. To just say that one is not a very dedicated or good christian is cool (i mean, what do i care?!) but to think that both are compatible seems pretty silly to me.
