Baseball conflicts with separation of church and state

How dare Major League Baseball impose religion on our democratic nation? Why are teams named angels or padres? Why should they allow people to sing God Bless America in the seventh inning? Why can't they schedule games at the three o'clock hour on Good Friday? Why doesn't baseball sensor players in interviews, preventing them from revealing their personal beliefs, and imposing them on others? Where are the lawyers when it comes to liberating baseball from the extremists, the religious fanatics and their impact on baseball and other sports?

Well, you know I'm being sarcastic here don't you? Well if you knew me, you would realize that I am poking fun at the real extremists in this nation, the liberal elitist, or to put the words together correctly, the practicing atheists who are doing all of the imposing in America lately. It is they who are going out of their way to somehow self substantiate their outright rejection of the God who created this universe and their very selves. Some warped and twisted notion that if they can sway controlling or governing authorities and decrees to recognize, support and protect their rejection of God, that some type of "divine" validation occurs. They become self legitimized, in a warped and twisted way. This is vanity and it is crystal clear to me.

We saw what the likes of ancient kings, modern dictators and even smaller leaders of anti-christian groups, whether terror related, or racially motivated, how these all lead to a failed war against the "Common Good". So too here in America, we see another group, an anti-Christian group, the extremist liberal party, going out of their way to oppress the truth of Christ our creator and eternal God. They come in all folds folks. From psuedo scientists who observe the generative cycles and processes of life and life's history, and without any evidence whatsoever, go out of the realm of science and declare that it all occurred through purely natural means. That life evolved through slight and gradual adaptations caused by environmental stresses, natural selection, reproductive selection, survival of the fittest and other factors. Ignoring altogether that the detail in design, and the distinctiveness of each of the many thousands of creatures declare in themselves an intelligent design. That all life are end products of a sophisticated designing process.

We have groups who are so dead set in their sinful and anti-Christian lifestyles, that they go out of their way to validate it in the same legal manners as mentioned above. In fact, much of the drive behind all of the legal battles to oppress religious expression and recognition in society is from people who are defending their sinful choices. They live in sin and it's a stubborn denial and steadfast rejection of divine morality which motivates them to fight. And fight they do. From prayer in schools, to mangers or ten commandments at courthouses, to recently, the very mention of Christ in a school speech, they restrict and forbid it. Why? Because they are the guilty ones. They are the ones who restrict expressions and opinions or beliefs which work for the common good. Which reveal not only the truth about why we are here, but in doing so, which convict their very conciouses. The same reason people would throw a bible away, point accusing fingers at a church, weep and gnash their teeth instead of admitting their guilt, repenting and turning back to God.

So they are now running rampant. It's only a matter of time before some lawyer brings up a case against Major League Baseball, or the NFL, or NBA for not oppressing the freedom of expression, freedom of beliefs which our founding fathers intended them to have, all to validate or substantiate their sinful conditions. Nonsense!
