Do You Pray For Your Sport Team? by WildOne(f): 3:27pm On Jun 20, 2009
Hey y'all,

I find it laughable when folks get serious with praying for their beloved teams to defeat the other team in a sporting contest. I mean, it's the same God that created the other team members, right? And they, ostensibly, pray for victory too.

It's more amusing when prayers are actually called for from the authorities and even pastors/imans who should know better. Personally, I think it's silly to "disturb" God over such mundane/frivolous issues when, for instance, people are starving to death in some parts of the globe. I also believe God could not care less about our unimportant past-times. I believe the best team wins, factor in a little bit of "luck/freak of nature".

Whaddaya think? And no name calling pls.
