Heaven Doesn't Take VISA

Ok, so here goes ticking off some people. Had the (dis)pleasure of attending my younger son's varsity football game last week. We are a smallish 2A school on the edge of a fairly large town. One of our non-district foes was a private Christian school. Anyhow, after they thoroughly punished us, some questionable things happened during and after said game. Now my blog here is only being done due to what transpired on these occasions. First off, the superintendent of said school, Arbor Academy, came to the visitors sidelines and offered us seating in the larger home stands. This offer was due to lack of seating for us and our sizeable band. This was a kind offer, so we accepted. I mean, a normal foe would be different, but since this was a "Christian" school we thought nothing of it. BAD IDEA! About halfway through the first quarter, the ref threw a flag and penalized us for "holding". No big deal.....for us anyway. A "gentleman" stood up about 10 feet from me and faced our section and yelled "HOLDING! ON YOU GUYS!" not only once , but twice. With the red face he had I thought he was gonna have a stroke. To which one of our fans told him to "sit down". Then after more words, another fan told him to "sit down #%$#@hole". To which he replied, "you can't call me names because I am a christian". Now due to the seating, our cheerleaders had to cheer in front of us, which put them behind Arbor Academy's football team. At halftime, one of the cheerleaders came into the stands to talk to her mother who was seated next to me. Apparently one of the players had expressed his wish for the "flyer" of the squad to "break her neck" during on of the routines. Furthering the matter, during the first half you could see several players "bumping" around these ladies during their cheering. It got to the point that our admin staff was on the field during the second half to provide a buffer for said cheerleaders from the players. I woulda chalked it up in the "now I've seen it all file", but noooooooooooo. The media printed how the fans from Arbor Academy were "prasing God" and the like for a victory over a larger public school, and that they couldn't understand how public school fans could be so rude. REALLY? Ok, this school is part of a MEGA Church here in Amarillo (Trinity Fellowship). Just looking at the complex you can see millions and millions of dollars. This place just smells like money. And the fans act it too. What hacks me is the presumed superiority these people believe they have because they got the bucks to put their kids there. I'm here to tell ya different. Sending your kids to a private christian school DOES NOT make you a Christian. It only means you can afford it. I get so fed up when people proclaim how Godlike they are while near the building, but will do body shots and swear like a criminal when they aren't. These boorish types act the part of snobs when around us average people. I am a Christian, but I also know I have a multitude of faults. This church needs to invest in mirrors. For when they are preaching about doing good works and witnessing to the masses, they can look into these mirrors to get started where they need to. They could take lessons from a smaller school like San Jacinto Academy. When we go play them in basketball, it is quite enjoyable, and the people are very friendly and personable. Oh, and they aren't located in a sprawling multiplex area called a church in a wealthier part of town. Now just to clear it up, the names of these places were used not from heresay, but from what we witnessed ourselves at the game mentioned. Not like I give a crap about being proper anyway.
