Is Stockcar Racing Worldly ?
 
Is it sinful to go to see stockcar racing ? Is stockcar racing a worldly amusement?

Is washing your car vanity?

Well are metal rims jewelery for your car ?

Are vanity plates a sin?

For practical purposes I remember being told that if you had to pay an admission price to watch, then it was a "worldly amusement." For example, playing on the playground equipment at the park isn't "worldly," but paying to play at the amusement park is "worldly."

Watching some guys play softball at the local diamond isn't "worldly;" but paying to watch them play professionally is considered "worldly."

Using this standard, I guess I can stay at home and watch Benny Hinn for free and that's okay. But if I pay the $35.00 to get into GC in Tampa, that would be "worldly."

Are preachers driving Volvos and Mercedes praticing vanity drawing undue attention to themselves ?

Are metal cymbals on drumkits, bringing pagan symbols into the house of God ?

Not the Volvos; that's wrong for other reasons. :)

Come to think of it, isn't eating vanity? Should we just die already?
