Try driving the roads of South Carolina and you’ll know that God is making the citizenry pay for Sanford’s adultery.

Because it’s easier to believe in a vengeful God after having seen Texas?

Rafflaw,

Is it because no other section of the country is as hung up on having a false facade act as a cover for blatant hypocrisy?

I am sure some good christian attorney will take this case pro bono as it is for the lords work indeed.

Probably not a chance in hell. These heathen must pay.

I can’t agree with you more. I get tired of watching the pro and college athletes thanking God for their good play or their team’s victory. Does God favor one team over another? When Notre Dame losed to a public college, is it because someone on the team has sinned? Why do most of these religious incursions into the public schools seem to happen in the South?

Higgledy piggeldy
Biblical verses
Help us to cheer on
Our team in a game.

God’s “up there” watching
Our fullbacks and tackles.
So if we’re defeated,
The Big Guy’s to blame.

God is a Jets/Mets fan, but is really a sadist.

That would take seven decades and I simply don’t have the time. The short version is that I believe there is a creative force that guides the Universe but its’ nature and purpose is too far beyond humans ability to comprehend. In that sense I believe that all religions can be useful in allowing people to get a very bare hint of the truth and I personally use Judaism as my vehicle, without believing it to possess greater access. I think that where religion goes astray is when it tries to define the purpose of that creative force and the concept that theirs is the only path to understanding. As my moral compass I choose what you no doubt refer to as the “Golden Rule,” which in truth is the underlying premise of most religions.

Am I supposed to believe that the Creator of an Infinite Universe watches over football games. Are there really Quarterbacks for Christ? Mixing God with football is from a religious perspective demeaning God. Anyone who claims to be religious, but is too stupid to understand that, also can’t understand the simple precepts of their own religion.

Do those foolish pro sports athletes who do something good and point to the heavens really think that god cares whether they scored a touchdown, hit a home run, or made a three-pointer? Did Rocky Graziano, the boxer of “Somebody Up There Likes Me” really think god was in his corner as he was pummeling someone into unconsciousness?
