Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Thursday, March 26, 2009Get creative, Catholics!As you may have seen yesterday, some Catholics in Detroit are upset that the Tigers' home opener will take place on Good Friday:"It's sort of an insult for Catholics," said Michael Ochab, a 47-year-old Tigers fan. He said he'll miss his first opener in 20 years this year to attend services at St. Florian Catholic Church in Hamtramck. "I'm still hoping the Tigers will change the time" . . . I'm really disappointed with the Catholics. Used to be that when everyone enjoyed something they didn't care for they'd schedule some big event at the same time in order to co-opt it. You know, like Christmas or Easter or something. Sure, my pagan friends complain about how that cheated them out of their solstice and stuff, but you gotta give the marketing guys down at the church office some credit for moxy and creativity. Now? It's just complain, complain, complain. How about this: move Good Friday to Monday -- there aren't nearly as many Monday games scheduled -- and go with a baseball theme for an 11 AM Friday Mass. You'll really increase the gate that way. It's called synergy, people! What? Why are you looking at me like that? Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 7:30am Comments

I would like to thank Jason and Royce, primarily, for making this thread worth reading. I’m a practicing, uh, religious guy. Grew up Episcopalian, hold Lutheran beliefs, am a registered Presbyterian (USA), and mostly attend services at either a non-denominational, or a Catholic church. The point is, I’ve spent a lot of time studying the Bible and church history and all that, and can actually tell you what the difference is between PCA and PCUSA churches are, why Catholics are protestants, too, and a whole bunch of other stuff. And I have never, ever, understood all the hostility over jokes. Some Muslims got upset over a political cartoon a couple of years ago. Walter Sobchek gets upset about questioning the legitimacy of his Judaism. And Christians everywhere get hot and bothered about… well, everything. Evolution, lately (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/26/breaking-news-science-wins-in-texas-barely/). The religious types just need to chill out, I think.

@ Melody
In a discussion about Religion, as in most things, there is really only one thing to say to that: Simpsons reference FTW!!!
