Except moms actually do those things.

Prayer is a form of meditation and studies show those that meditate do better in sports and work and home.

So prayer did actually do those things.

But what about the team that lost?

Prayer/Meditation does not make you win or lose it makes you better than you would be without it.

The team that lost was not their best that day or just not as good for whatever reason.

Nobody prays to win, they pray to do their personal best that day.

What?! People absolutely pray to win. Coaches and players both.

No they don't. They don't think god intervenes in their play.

Lol! What? They say "Thank you Jesus!". What do you think that means??

But no one is asking you to square it; they are asking you to live and let live. You get to believe what you believe and they get to do the same. Yay democracy!

If you are truly interested, I am sure you could ask a friend who is more religious than you. If you hadn’t noticed, the internet isn’t a particularly good place to have such discussions. Trolls are a downside of democracy.

Sunday school through confirmation, and I still never found an answer that squared suffering an a god worth praying to. Kierkegaard’s fear and trembling is the best explanation that I’ve heard, but that isn’t a god worth loving

Great starting point for an in-person discussion with someone who believes in different things than you, don’t you think?

Thank you for getting through the game with no serious injuries.

Thank you for the physical and mental ability to play the game.

Thank you for my teammates and coaches.

Thank you for my supportive family.

If you have ever watched players interviewed after winning games, this is not what many of them mean. They think but for Jesus, they would not have won the game.

Because they believe if not for Jesus, they wouldn’t have such great teammates and coaches and such a supportive family to help them. Or the physical, mental and emotional gifts to get them to where they are.

You aren’t even trying to understand this. The real question is why are you bothering to continue this discussion.

Tell us why you think you understand the thought process of every single athlete who prays before a game or thanks Jesus after?

Just following the lead of the PP, who knows for a fact that all of them are thanking Jesus for the win. Did you ask that PP your Q? No, you did not. Why is that? Tell us your thought process.

He was too busy taking the wheel.

Sure sure.

Jesus can’t save the children in Gaza because Brooke has a very important soccer tryout so he’s busy.
