First, I would like to thank my lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

I love when they interview an athlete and ask him about the game and they say that.

After the CFL Grey Cup game on Sunday Montreal quarterback Anthony Calvillo looked right into the camera and said this then pointed skyward like there was someone up there that caused the too many men penalty that handed the Als the win.

I think Satan may have had more to do with it than Jesus, after all Satan likes to fvck with people while Jesus loves everyone, especially retards.

[Domestic]

It is so corny, I cringe every time I hear it said. Such a cliche.

[Jimmy0607]

Tebow loves sayin that bullshit

[bettilimbroke999]

Tebow is the worst about it, I wonder what the losers of those games think, fuk if only we'd had God on our side, Jesus made me fumble at the 1 yrd line

I agree, Tebow goes over board with his religious beliefs.

[BGS 9.5]

I am not condoning it, but at least Tebow means it when he says it, these other guys I'm not so sure, just trying to make themselves look better to the public...

[FreeFall]

It's for all the ignorant people in the world that need something to justify their sad excuse for a life because they are too lazy to go out and get it themselves.

[jellobiafra]

It really grinds my gears too.

I was listening to Jim Rome in the car yesterday and he had the Houston Cougar QB on. The guy kept talking about the "Lord's plan" and said something about how he has spent the past year "strengthening my relationship with the Lord" and how great that's been. Made me want to fukkin vomit.

Your relationship with the Lord?? Like it's a two way street. It's a fukking relationship now, is that right? Like you guys go to the movies and sit up late chatting on the phone and maybe after a few more dates you're gonna suck his celestial dick? That kind of relationship?

First of all, how absolutely arrogant is that to think the Lord is wasting his time worried about what's on your mind today. Do these people have ANY concept of how big the universe is?? Like The Big J is up there in the sky with nothing better to do than map out when he should throw the slant pass, or when he should take a shit. Who really needs to feel that much like they don't have control over ANYTHING in their lives - that it's all in the Lord's hands so oh well....

Fukking crazy people, that's who. People unequipped to deal with life and struggles in a rational manner. People who need a crutch to get through life.

[LLXC]

Hate when everybody says this crap...

Thanks Mom is way better

[bettilimbroke999]

List of God's priorities:

1. Help Tebow win another national championship and get filthy rich playing a kids game
.......

100000000000000. Eliminate AIDS, starvation, war

Ohhhhh so that's why

[poker_dummy101]

i stated this numerous times in the tebow thread. hope that fukker dies on the field

[Capybara]

Great thread, Plommer. THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY, TOO.

How, how, how, HOW can people be so ignorant??? SO incredibly SELF-CENTERED as to believe that if there were an all-powerful God, he would really actually have it in his "plan" who won the friggin' Florida/Florida St. game!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU FRIGGIN' SERIOUS??!!!

The answer is this: People do not want to use reason. They find life easier when there is a "plan" for everything and a "purpose" for everyone... you will be taken care of if you are good, or punished if you are bad, and we are all here for a reason, and there is a grand plan for everything. It is 100% unfounded in reality.

It makes people feel good, so they choose to ignore ALL empirical evidence to the contrary.

I don't understand how we can't be more advanced as an American society in the year 2009. It absolutely stuns me.

By the way, JELLO, great post, I wanted to give you a point but I have none!

One last thing (I could go on and on on this topic): A lot of this way of thinking is about childhood indoctrination. Brainwash an unformed young mind with this stuff, and he/she will probably believe it always. Especially if he/she chooses not to apply reason to try and actually understand the world around him/her. Which most people here apparently don't.

[Chi_archie]

Jesus is great to have on your side for sports....

but it really irritates me when Jesus allows a backdoor cover... he's great for winning straight up, but he forgets about the spread all the time.

Jesus, also lets Kurt Warner and Tim Tebow get too many concussions... Jesus, get these guys some o-line angelic protection

[Fishhead]

I honestly believe that degenerate gamblers like all of us are the smartest and most commensense people in the WORLD.

[bettilimbroke999]

Pic from the Florida/Florida St game, holy shit Tebow was right

That one made me laugh.

Yeah, that was funny, Arch. Lot of humorous and insightful comments in this thread. As always, atheists are the intelligent, articulate, free-thinking folks at the party.

What a bunch of Galatians.

[betplom]

What a bunch of Galatians.

Main Entry: Ga·la·tians
Pronunciation: \gə-ˈlā-shənz\
Function: noun plural but singular in construction
Date: 1587
: an argumentative letter of St. Paul written to the Christians of Galatia and included as a book in the New Testament

[Mudcat]

You guys are so immature with your wisecracks.

My invisible friend with superpowers will get you someday.

[jellobiafra]

By the way, JELLO, great post, I wanted to give you a point but I have none!

Capy, your post sounded like my end of conversations I've been involved in over the years. I think you and I are pretty much in complete unison on this one.

I don't know about you, but I don't discount the possibility of a God or even an afterlife. I just don't think anybody has a clue and don't see any reason why we SHOULD have a clue. We are all so insignificant in the grand scheme of life/universe that it doesn't matter what we think or believe. Who the fukk are we? What makes us so special?

I wish all these nuts would get over themselves and their self-centered, arrogant conviction that they can understand anything having to do with a "God" or "His" plan. It's like a fukking ant acting like it understand astro-physics. No. Not possible. Too far advanced. Just like the concept and plan of any God - if that entity ever existed - would be too far advanced for us to wrap our little brains around.

Just live your life, do the right thing as you see it, and hope for the best at the finish line. If that's not enough for "God" then fukk him. The secret of life is to enjoy the one you have. Stop living for a Fantasy about something that comes afterwards and start making the most of what you KNOW you have now.

[betplom]

Jello, please stop making perfect sense, it has no place on a forum like SBR.

Thanks, pal.

(I too would have given points but I'm barreled in from losing my points on 6 team parlays in the sbr sportsbook).

I don't like your sarcasm.

Sorry plommer. I don't know what I was thinking.

I'm just always ready to go on this issue. It's such a no-brainer, yet we are still in the minority. Equal parts frustrating and hilarious.

Since I have engaged the MUTE button 90% of the time I watch sports, I rarely hear that crap. Can't remember his exact quote in his book Ball Four, and I don't want to blow it by paraphrasing it wrong, but Jim Bouton has a great line about that whole schtick.

I don't know the quote, but I remember one that went something like -

If God helped you win, does that mean that he screwed the other team?

Apparently God is a big sports fan. He must not have anything better than we do to occupy his time. I wonder who he's got in the Jets game tonight. Better yet, I wonder if he beats the closing number.

[Willie Bee]

God is the closing number, jello, and don't you forget it

[betplom]

God is the closing number, jello, and don't you forget it

The closing number is 2012, PiMike can confirm this.

Jesus Christ means everything to me. I love him so dearly. I'm a big supporter of Mary and David also. God bless Psalms 23:24!

And right on queue the resident SBR Jew is here to mock the son of god.

Remember fellas, the Jews killed Christ!

If it were not for Jesus telling me to love thy enemy I would really really dislike Illini.

Plommy, you got it all wrong. Back when everyone was on dial up and using AOL, I joined a Jews for Jesus chat room. I convertered to being a Lutheran in 1997. God Bless you!

[DwightShrute]

Were you there? How do you know then?

I swear I read recently on one of these threads that Bush killed him

[betplom]

Whenever I’m about to do something, I think “would an idiot do that?” and if they would, I do not do that thing.

For one time, I actually agree with this fvck
