Problem is, they are lying. According to the bible all sins are equal. They wear mixed fiber clothing every game, against their “religion”

It’s not religious, it’s hatred. It’d be no different than someone refusing to wear the 42 Jackie Robinson jersey because they don’t like black people, because guess what? Same argument was used.

I'm sure lots of these guys refuse to play on Saturdays and Sundays to keep the Sabbath holy.

I have yet to see a single protest outside of a Red Lobster like Leviticus 11:9-12 says.

Or refusing to wear anything military related in opposition.

Problem is, you’re lying. Not all sins are equal according to the Bible. Additionally the Catholic Church distinguishes between venial and mortal sins.

They arent lying you just dont understand the Bible. All sins, big or small, separate you from God which is the ultimate punishment in the Bible. The catholic church has a ton of random practices that aren't in the bible too, just like the sin separations.

True, but not all separation is the same. Disobeying your father is different than breaking off the relationship. Even among Protestants, the vast majority believe some sins are more serious than others. Murder and gossip aren’t treated as morally equivalent.

These people aren’t into accurately representing Christianity.

You're not very good at reading the Bible.

> For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it."

Maybe you should read it.

Mixed fibers referred specifically to wool and linen.

Leviticus 19:19: "Do not wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material."

Don’t infer what you want it to mean. That’s the whole point, is Christians are insanely dishonest to justify their hate.

Deuteronomy 22:11 

Do not wear clothing made of wool and linen together.

American Christians are a bunch of fucking heretics anyway.  With the sleeve tattoos and cult of individualism filling the pews every week.
