| Where Is God In The Game Of Football? by Nobody: 2:25pm On Mar 24, 2012 |
Few yrs ago in school a philosophy lecturer asked us to write on the above topic.several students wrote from different perspectives and had different conclusions.i argued dat God would technically not be on any side but dat d better team would most probably win,making god to pitch(or fore-pitch because of his foreknowledge)on their side.i've often wondered why d super eagles n their supporters spend time in intense prayer to god to help them win a match.do they think god's only on their side and not on their opponents'.now what do u think?on what side would God be in a football game provided that both sides have prayed to him or both sides haven't or one side has and d other hasn't?? Does it make any difference  |

so God didnt have to choose who will win, the winning team chose him? |

diluminati: so God didnt have to choose who will win, the winning team chose him? The side that won is the side that God actually chose. The other side was just wasting their time. |

Football is of the world, not of God. God has very little or nothing to do with it. There's a reason i include 'very little'. NOTE that i did not say football is a sin. I said football is of this world. And football, like it's origin will pass away. The god of this world runs things more in football, not God. That's why football can go and will go against God and godliness if necessary. Football and its participants will cheat, deceive, lie, gamble, bet, fight, hurt, disregard God and His worship without batting an eyelid. People like the nigerian team simply 'monkey'(deceive) atheists and their co-ignorant fellows when they come together and act like they're praying to some God/god. God does not hear the prayer of sinners, except it's something serious. |

How does the Nigerian team deceive atheists by praying to God on the field and still lose? |

atheism is ignorance. And you show more ignorance when you imagine/believe that everytime the nigerian team gather before a match kicks off, they must be praying, and to God. The thread's question has already been answered. You did not bother to comment on the answer, all you did was what you do best, word picking. |
| Re: Where Is God In The Game Of Football? by thehomer: 12:34am On Mar 27, 2012 |
Image123: atheism is ignorance. No, atheism is non-belief in Gods. Image123: Who do you think they pray to? I don't believe in a God so that statement is moot. It is you who believe in one that is in a position of being deceived. Also, who answered the question and where did they give the answer? |

Now, why don't you exercise the comprehension you think you have? |

Deep Sight: Ignorance of what? e.g is non-belief in vampires ignorance? How about non-belief in leprechauns, faeries and the God of smallpox? You need to distinguish non-belief that an idea is true from knowledge of the idea. 1 Like |

Football is another form of religion,it has taken the place of god delusion.And it is another gift to the world by the english that you guys keep copying.Just like they gave you christianity,language,names,fashion and even eating etiquette. |

God does not hear the prayer of sinners, except it's something serious. What a post from a professing theist ! *Shakes head in disbelief* @Baretta God is interested in all of His creation. He is interested in all events. If this were not so, He wouldn’t have fore-knowledge, which the The Bible asserts He has, knowing the end from the beginning. Imagine God having to wait till the end of a football match to know the result ! That He has an interest in who wins is evident from the fact that the better team does not always win. How about the emotions and lives of the players, can they not be said to be influenced by the outcome of their matches? He listens to the prayers of players and grants them according to His will. |
