When a sports figure or coach praises Jesus for the big "WIN"
Edited on Sat Dec-06-08 10:35 AM by maseman
do they throw Jesus under the buss when they lose?

I just heard a clip on the radio from a college player who was thanking "our great saviour the lord jesus christ" for the great win tonight.

Do they say when they lose "I'd like to say that we lost because of the lord jesus christ because the guys on the other team prayed harder than we did?"

OR

"We lost tonight because we couldn't petiition the lord hard enough with prayer for a win and he is really pissed off right now because our star running back tapped two girls last night and one was married."

2. What nonsense
Everybody knows Jesus is a baseball fan. Like he'd even WATCH college football.

Harumph.

4. When a sports team loses......

Jesus sees all! Jesus keeps lists.

12. what it says about what the person thinks of the other team is kind of odd
Why don't they just go ahead and say, "I'm so glad Jesus forsake the other team."

14. Or maybe Jesus liked the winning team
and didn't like the losers. Then what happens to the souls of the losers? Are the losers thrown into the burning fires of hell never to have a drop of water of relief and never to see the face of God for all eternity? There's all kinds of theological implications.
