I'm sick of pious athletes who think God cares about winning

[devilgrrl]

Aren't you?

[Kire]

[da_chimperor]

[The Jacobin]

3. Your watching the baseball playoffs

aren't you :smoke:

[devilgrrl]

5. How'd you guess?

:+

[LDS Jock]

4. YES!!!!

I get so sick of someone raising their finger to God after a big play, or after the game thanking the Lord for them winning. :puke:

[Glenda]

6. I never did quite understand that myself

I remember Randall Cunningham saying in 1999 that the VIkings were going to win the Super BOwl in Jan 2000. ANd then God would have Judgment Day shortly after that.

Why would God base Judgment Day on sports? SPorts is just entertainment!

Glenda
p.s., the Vikes didn't win, so *whew* no Judgment Day!

7. Like God puts his whole universe "on hold" in order to watch a game

on this speck of dust called Earth, even ignoring the other 6.5 billion suffering souls, so that he can blow some air behind a ball to "lift" it over a fence!

8. The only people with greater delusions of grandeur..

... than actors/actresses are pro athletes. Whoope de doo jock boy :)

[Radical Activist]

9. I won this game because God loved me more than

my opponents. That's basically what they're saying.

[Radical Activist]

10. I want to see someone thank God that they lost

because God wanted to teach them humility.

[The Jacobin]

13. That may have happened two nights ago

When Curt Schilling was interviewed after winning against NY in NY, he said something like "During the first game I was out there by myself, without God. I lost because I ignored God. Tonight I was with God so I won."

11. How are they sure that it wasn't Satan who influenced the game?

Or maybe God wanted the other team to lose to teach them humility?

Or maybe Satan wanted the other team to lose so they would be more susceptible to selling their souls for victory?

Or ad infinitum.

[Champ]

12. Who would god root for?

Boston or (Houston/St. Louis)

[FreedomFry]

14. Yes!! God prefers the good old-fashioned high-five, anyway.

:D
