Schilling- God Is On The Red Sox's Side!!! Does That Mean

[redstateblues]

The Yankees are evil? His post game interview took a little of the buzz off my celebration. I hate it when athletes claim God is on their side.

1. Well the Yankees are evil regardless

[redstateblues]

7. I hate the Yankees- Only Sheffield is evil tho- not the whole team

2. Irks me to no end.

IT'S A FUCKING GAME!

If a scientist develops an effective AIDS vaccine and says "God was on my side" I may understand it but a FUCKING GAME???

9. Even that would piss me off.

OK, so God was on your side when your came across the AIDS vaccine -- where the {expletive deleted} was he before it was found.

That's almost as annoying as hearing tornado survivors talk about how God was on their side.

10. Wow. THAT takes the prize.

I consider that a personal insult to the families of those who died. It's as if they were saying, "YOUR family died because they didn't praise JEEBUS enough!"

[qnr]

13. Absolutely.

I've never understood that "praise the power when something goes right" but "make excuses or ignore it when things go wrong" attitude."

14. (dupe - sorry) n/t

[sasquatch]

3. Well it's the Yankees so that has to count for something evil

:)

4. I agree

but, it's just their way of trying to be humble.

5. Don't care for that comment also, but no championship since 1918??

The Sox need ALL the help they can get!

6. Steinbrenner is the devil, so it makes sense. eom

[SideshowScott]

8. Hey i dont mind it one bit that someone belives deeply in God...

Its just when they try to use it to enforce rules on my life and well being when i dont like it...
Schilling did nothing wrong

[faithnotgreed]

11. thanks scott.

[theboss]

12. It's clear who the Devil has been working for since the 20s.

So, it would stand to reason.

[BeyondGeography]

15. It was an uber hokey moment

Like most athletes, Schilling ceases to be interesting when he opens his mouth.

16. Curt's Press Conference

Sounded alot more sincere. Clearly his faith means quite a bit to him. who are we to question that? If he wants to credit God w/ giving him the strength to compete, that's just fine w/ an old atheist like me.
