  • Football, and sport in general, certainly has some similarities to religion, but are they the same thing?

    We need to change that. I'm now waiting to be touched by the divine realm of football and will scribe down all knowledge I receive about the divine heavens of football. It will be written down in German just like Luther did his thing and in epub format off course because the divine communicates in opensource formats.
    I will striphe to recruite the first Football-Evangelists, or Fussball Evangelisten like they will be called in the holy file of revelations of the divine heavens of football players and supporters.

    Disagree. There is secular religions. Football has the basic elements to constitute a non theistic religion. By the way, who.are you?

      I'm a teacher of religions, and this is part of an introduction to a comparative religion course. Your turn :)

    Shallow "analysis." Not only do some people equate elements of football WITH a divine reality, some organizations long and widely considered as religions (e.g., Buddhism) do NOT have a divine reality, unless one tweaks that meaning as much as football fans do. You are obvious a monotheist trying to use Christianity as the one standard for being a religion--so you are engaging more in apologetics than a real analysis.

      Interesting. Buddhists still believe in a reality beyond the temporal. I'd argue that football lacks that divinity and would genuinely welcome your specific examples of the divine in football.
