And while I recommend the sports games, you may want to avoid NHL video games, because you will find both (Miroslav) Satan AND (New Jersey) Devils in that game, and both are openly promoted.

I'm a Devils fan. I keep hoping Miro Satan (pronounced "Shah-tan") will be traded to them, so I can get Satan on the back of my Devil's jersey.
Seriously, though, some New Jersey legislator tried to pass a law requiring the team to change its name because he said it was insulting to Christians.
Watch out for the NBA! The Bulls are just the Golden Calf! Watch out for the NFL! The Rams are Satanic goat heads! Watch out for the MLB! A bunch of guys taking Jesus' name in vain!

This has to be a joke (PLEASE!), but I'll play along.
I prefer devils food cake over angels food, like deviled eggs, and have a Dirt Devil broom-vac, so I guess I'm damned. Oh well.
Although most people imagine New Jersey to be one big expressway lined with cities and refineries, the southern part of the state includes a vast area called the "Pine Barrens", a million-plus acre tract of largely uninhabited scrub pine forest in which people have been lost for days. The "Jersey Devil" is a mythical creature said to inhabit the Pine Barrens - kind of like a New Jersey version of Bigfoot or Nessie. Reports of sightings date back to colonial times. Has nothing to do with Satan.
Miroslav atan's (note the difference?) last name is pronounced SHAH-tahn, not SAY-tun.
But, as we all know, attention to detail is not a Fundie strong point.
I'm trying to remember the name of the baseball player who played, and maybe even still does, for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. A couple of years ago he wanted the name changed because it was not christian.
While we're at it we'd better expunge the word 'phuc' from the Vietnamese language too, it's just so ungodly.
Well, that's just silly. I mean, Manchester United are called the Red Devils, and they're not satanic, are they? ... um ... maybe you have a point, actually.
Of course he hates devils.
He's obviously a Tanar'ri worshipper, and can't stand the sight of those filthy Baatezu.
hey, just because you dislike 'devils', doesn't mean you're not as bad or worse yourself. Plenty of folks hate competition.
Now there needs to be a Hispanic hockey player named Jesus something-or-other.
In the same spirit, I wonder if this fellow is a baseball fan.
Johnny Hye -
Your faith is weak, Johnny - very weak.
I'm sure you also do not consume deviled eggs or deviled ham because they promote satan?
I really have to too you that your faith is so weak that it cannot tolerate even the name of the devil in commercial products.
Doesn't your god have the power to knock all that devil shit right out of existence?
Weak faith, Johnny - and you're a drooling retard.
Bet this guy won't even by a box of those cinnamon candies if there were a little cartoon devil on it.
Personally, I consider such art an eloquent selling point. I love "evil" foods. They're just so darn tasty! My office agrees. I often bring in my famous "Evil Cake of Doom" and the thing gets completely scarfed by around 3:30 in the afternoon. Guess I'm merely promoting satanic foods and perdition. And, you know, hockey is all ice and blood and fights. And the occassional puck. :D Sounds like somebody's got a little Puritan in them.
I swear these folks are actively trying to get me to headdesk myself stupid...
If this isn't a Poe, it is on par with the nutbar who wanted to have "hello" replaced with "heaveno"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
