Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Christianity, isn't it the case that:
1. Jesus is in Heaven
2. It's been ~2000 years since Jesus was alive
3. Baseball did not exist when Jesus was alive
4. People in Heaven look down on you (people say they do, anyways)
5. People's opinions and priorities often change over just a few years
6. Therefore, you have no way to know what Jesus might think about baseball or whether he might be rooting for a particular team
7. Besides, if you're rooting for the wrong team, or if rooting for a sports team is some kind of sin, Jesus died for your sins, didn't he?
*Technically*, and I am not a Christian...
I think only the odd numbers there are actually true, according to Christianity.
1. Yes
2. It's been ~2000 years since Jesus
was alive on earth.
3. True Fact!
4. Possible? Not really clear to me, or really important in the grand scheme of Christianity.
5. Super True
6. 1 John 2:15-17, or maybe Colossians 3:2. Essentially, "God is more important than your hobbies. If you put this much energy into your faith you'd be literally glowing". Titus 2:12 also. Lots and lots of "Seriously, [your favorite material thing] is not that important in comparison to your immortal soul."
7. It's not so much a "sin" as much as "why do you care about these things so overly much, stop it. The Yankees are going to die out with the sun, it's cool."
Also, the times where God intervenes directly are notable because they are the exception. The entire concept of Jesus is wrapped around the idea that he worked within already existing systems to achieve his goals.
