To give up something that you've always dreamed of doing because of religion seems a little too extreme imho especially in this day and age and for her reason given. She might regret that when she's an old lady.

Fook her.
Sounds pretty backwards to be honest. If you want to give up your dream for the imaginary sky fairy then feel free. Enjoy working in Walmart. |  |

Linvoy Primus refused to play/compete on Sundays as did Jonathan Edwards. Loads of religious athletes and sportspeople have put God before their careers to some extent.
While her stance is incredibly backward and goes against Jesus' teachings, that's her prerogative. I'd say at least she's being consistent with her version of faith and ideals and that's better than the tens of public figures who use it as a sword and shield to further themselves. |  |

If you actually believe in the reality of eternal damnation, not sure a few games of footy would matter much to you.
Of course most aren't silly enough to believe it. It could even be a metaphor, but nooo, there is an actual place called hell. |  |

Oh, I'm sure there are. But they can justify any of their own behaviours and actions just fine, if they really put their mind to it. What's good for the goose is not always good for the gander though.

Being a homophobe means you are taking your faith too far, regardless of the career consequences. |  |

Timothy 2:9 reads:
“Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments.”
Leviticus 19:28 states: Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

It's almost like she is picking and choosing which parts to believe... I'm not sure God would approve. | |

In fairness Leviticus is Old Testament and so Jesus did away with it essentially, so she's really only digging herself out with all this selectiveness.
But it does have all those rules and the lovely sentiment about homosexuality be abominable etc. which makes me wonder why Christians hold on to that part of it but not the rest, when they were told specifically in the gospels. | |

It was bloody Paul. Christianity wouldn't be half as bad if it weren't for that cock-blocking, woman-hating arse. | |

I find your question an odd one to be honest. I find it an odd concept that people are expected to be religious until they need to not be quite so religious in order to achieve their goals.
That kind of pick and mix religion really gets on my nerves.
I'm an atheist and do not agree with her views but I very much doubt she will ever regret them as long as she remains religious. |  |

I know, I was talking about the common predilection for filleting Leviticus, although unless it's misattributed in your post and that quote is Psalms?
Either way she needs a bit of GCSE level "love thy neighbour" training, as do many Christians in the States. | |

In the second half of his career Jonathan Edwards competed on Sundays when necessary. | | | |
