Why not ? I think the first one as it stands is a misperception. Put it in context with the rest of them. That was probably the intent of the poster to single that line out of context.

School was boring, doesnt mean you don't need the education.

Well, just as I believe that each individual has their own personal convictions, I feel that each individual has their personal expression toward God and shouldn't be made to feel coerced to worship in a way that is not in their heart.
When you say, "If you don't...", I'm going to back up from that. My relationship with God is a private affair that I share in a public setting. Don't tell me how you think I need to talk or express my feelings toward God. For clarification - when I say "You", I am speaking in generalities.

I understand and agree. I just believe that in context or generalizing what was said before and after based on the other quotes, I can't help but think that the "If you don't" was probably followed by , "If you do there, (at a game or concert) then "you better here" (church). Basically, afford God the same emotions you would afford the world.
Again, it was posted much like I expect media bias to be posted, out of context.

I believe it was generalizing also. However, the football analogy is getting old for me. No one expects a crowd to act the same way at both functions.
Sports is not worship and worship is not sports. Take your football somewhere else and get it out from behind the pulpit. 
God, I am so sick of the football analogy. One time I wanted to stand up, get a couple of hankies out of my purse to use as pompoms and start screaming like an idiot - "GOOOOOOO, Jesus!!!! GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
You know that episode on Happy Days where Richie Cunningham is getting ready for a free throw and it's really, really quiet? His mother shouts, "GOOO Richie!!!!"

Teach me something about Jesus and you will see worship. And that is not to say Jesus is not being taught in the Apostolic movement. He certainly is and there is excellent preaching, worship and commitment. I am only speaking to this one issue on the football analogy - clarifying for the negative people. LOL!

Great post!! 
I've seen through the flaws of these analogies a long long time ago. Comparing how you act at a football game to how you should act in church is as flawed as saying "And if you moan with pleasure during sex how much MORE should moan in pleasure in your praise toward God during church!". Different reactions toward different life experiences.
"Here. Have a lifesaver."
