Theological matters

Tooting Gull · Apr 9, 2007

What do people think of sports stars who endlessly thank God for their victory?

At one point I actually thought the very blessed Zach Johnson said 'I am the resurrection' after his Easter Sunday Masters golf win - although regrettably that wasn't the case.

I just find it slightly creepy when people say Jesus was guiding their three-wood into the centre of the fairway.

What say you all...

The US of A has a fairly high proportion of biblebashers of sundry types,so thanking God and His Boy is rather more common than in the sensibly less godly UK(Faithless and ungodly UK?)

Those of non Christian faiths pretty much excepted,by Jove.

It is puzzling. YOu see these Sportsmen run on and thank G-d for giving them the chance/helping them perform etc. But what if a highly religious striker prays for a hatrick. What if that game coincides with a goalkeeper praying for a cleansheet!? Does G_d then have to decide which team he prefers? Rubbish! It all boils down to G_d being a creation of man to explain our existence.

Ps shhh G_d - We play in Blue and white stripes. Sometimes maroon and sometimes white. :angel:

Exactly - Often a boxer will claim God was on his side and helped or aided his win. However the opposing boxer was also praying to God - Baffles me completley

Are you of the Hebrew faith? I have a number of Jewish friends and they never write God-always as you have done: G_d.

Lee Trevino -- before he was actually hit by lightning -- was asked what he did on the course when there was lightning threatening.
His reply: "I hold a one-iron over my head." "Isn't that, like, incredibly dangerous?
"Nah, not even God can hit a one-iron."

Oh, and while He may hit a mean three-wood, Jesus' short game is suspect.

Maybe if England players made the sign of the cross on their chests when they went onto the pitch He might make us less shit?

It's always funny how god get all the credit when things go right. I've yet to hear a sportsman f*** things up and ask god to take the blame.
Seems to have thge bets of both worlds does old G. Unfortunately it's all bollocks and g doesn't exist anyway so there you go.

No. I picked it up from Buba - our resident anti-muslim who likened some posters to Goebbels and called my flatmate an anti-semite, despite the fact that he is jewish! :dunce:
