[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specifically, why do some winners insinuate that God helped them win? [/quote]
Same reason they believe God helped them breathe, walk, shoot the winning goal, etc.[/quote]

And it makes them feel special.  God helped ME win and let YOU lose.[/quote]

I believe you are (perhaps intentionally) misinterpreting their prayers (and belittling them). God isn't "picking a winner" nor is their prayer asking for that. If a player believes that following the path of their religion and focusing their thoughts on prayer helps them to be the best they can be in practice and on the field (and it is easy to see how that could help an individual), and that helped their team to win, they can thank God for that. That doesn't mean God picked the other team to lose. Speaking in terms like that ("God let you lose") simply shows that you are being obtusely literal and do not understand what God is and is not to a religious person. It's rather childish.[/quote]

No reason to believe that pp knows what God's intentions are.[/quote]
