How some Americans see God in sports, and they are not alone at that. Does God takes sides in a football game?



Dear European friends confused about the American phenomenon of Tebowing. Let me explain. Some Americans think Jesus picks football games, and that he has a favourite player called Tim Tebow. Last night in a football game, this QB threw for 316 yards, and some of my folks back home said it wasn't coincidence that he threw for 316 yards because it points to John 3:16. Not kidding. Stop laughing.  - T. Michael Law
Unbelievable, but sadly true.

There's a highway somewhere in the USA, Route 66, where some Christians believe that it reflects the Highway mentioned in the book of Isaiah!! I am not kidding.

I remember when the Football (not Soccer) World Cup in South Africa on 2010, Chileans friends were praying on Facebook that their teams should win. One got particular mad at me, because I questioned her how she figured that God took sides with the teams? She got so mad, that she deleted me from her FB friends. And God, it seems, wasn't on her team's side, since Chile didn't go that far into the tournament. If one team would have won, was Brazil, since the number of believers in the team was very high, yet, they didn't win.

This goes to show that God doesn't care about sports, so stop pretending He does. Tim Teabow may be a great athlete, but just because he is a believer, God will always favour his game.

Just imagine, two christian teams going at each other. Who will God go for? Totally nonsense, and irreverent, if you ask me.
