The blurry line between religious and crazy

It sounds more like cognitive dissonance to me. The kid was quite religious. He loved football but also was told to seek Jesus first. He is overly anxious and is emotional, however. Perhaps excessive hyper emotionalism is when this behavior crosses the line.

I have been in the situation where I was convinced that God told me to do something. The young man has a high anxiety level probably feeling guilt over being famous and how Jesus is going to fit in. He needs some wise counsel.(secular would be best, but I doubt he would listen)

Being human, we all have a tendency to manipulate, control, and push our own desires onto others. As Christians, we believe--by faith---that the Spirit(of Love and Truth) is greater than our animal instincts. It is therefore indeed possible to "do christianity" with noble motives....but it takes a disciplined lifestyle and a desire to help others before ourselves.
