Pro athletes
Here’s something that annoys the hell out of me… every time, especially football players, score a TD or make a good play, they point skyward and thank God. Just more proof that organized religion is nothing but grandstanding. I’d like to see when the player screws up, that he gives his God the finger.

I’ve been giving God the finger for a while now. Of course, I’m also fat and going bald. I wonder if one has to do with the other

Yea, and when they thank God for letting them win the big game, like God is up there controlling the outcome of sporting events. And if that is the case, then what’s the use of playing, I mean the outcome is pre-deterermined, unless you’ve got the power to over rule God’s will? And if you have that power, you’d certainly have the power to win every game on your own, and if that’s the case you shouldn’t you be thanking yourself? Oh yea, and what about people that get excited over toast that looks just like the virgin Mary? Like that PROVES God’s existence. Never mind the unending universe, and this planet with it’s life interlocked, and synchronized in a finely tuned balance with that universe. But apparently not enough to get a sense of God’s existence, no, we need a piece of TOAST to pray to.

I always thought that they were pointing to their dead, unsupportive fathers, thinking that they might be in Heaven, since God’s nothing but forgiving and depending upon who you ask, it’s harder to get a Bay card than get past the Pearly Gates. And as they point they say, “See Dad? Who’s a screw-up now? You could tell be, but you’re dead. Nah nah nah nah nah.”
Then they go home hammered, crash their car around a phone pole, and beat their wife.
Yay team.
