My wife and I don't watch the Superbowl because we have no interest in sports. Like you, we get the same reaction from others--people think we're bizarre creatures from some other planet. I used to have some close friends who reacted the same way to my dislike of sports. I found it curious that they considered me odd when they were the ones who spent hours each week jumping around, screaming and hurling things at the TV.
They have many hallmarks of a cult. As to whether or not they're Christian, I'm certainly not going to play NTS with them. They call themselves Christians so they're Christians.
I find those qualifiers irritating and insulting. It seems to me they're used to imply we're just labeling ourselves atheists, while we're really still believers (like all decent people are). We're just rebellious children going through a phase until we grow up and admit we believed all along. Ugh.
It's ironic that these people are always the ones screaming about the "Nanny State" while simultaneously demanding censorship of/bans on anything they don't like.

I do what I can to avoid blatantly religious businesses. I also boycott any business/corporation that donates to anti-gay or similar causes . It can get tough at times as the list has grown quite large but I refuse to knowingly fund my own oppression by giving it to people who are going to turn and use it against me and mine.
Sadly she's being pummeled with hatred and threats of violence from loving, moral Christians who can't stand having their unearned, undeserved privilege challenged. It's terrifying how vicious God's chosen ones get when they aren't allowed to force their beliefs on everyone.
"...to be Honest and Fair...
...and be a sister to every Girl Scout."
Except for those who are LGBT, or who otherwise don't meet the standards of RRRW extremists.
Your tax dollars at work.
Of course it's unconstitutional. What I find most amusing and annoying is that the biggest proponents of these "No Sharia" laws are the ones who are staunch advocates of "Biblical Law". They don't even see the hypocrisy of their positions.
Of course. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
