Balls to the wall - Arian Foster's views on life and religion

Very well written article. Lengthy, but worth the read.

He sounds like a simpleton. He is absolutely free to "think" what he wants, but to have figured it out, based on "if God is for one side, then he is against the other side," is childish logic. Keep playing football Arian.

 

he sounds bright as all get out to me especially for an athlete. explain what you mean about his view thats so ridiculous.

 

I did. Childish. I applaud his opinion but if you think any omnipotent power is deciding football games, whether it is God, god, Budda, Mo, the Great Santini, whoever, you appear to be thinking to small.

The universe (univierses) are pretty big, just don't see how anyone could questions anything based on easily explained science of N Houston vs S Houston conditions. Again childish, nor insightful.

Now, the fact that a professional football player can string more than a "you know" together is laudable, just not real impressive on the scale of life!

 

i think you missed the entire point (of his). of course god doesnt decide games. thats what he said. or else he'd, by default, have to chose the loser of the game as well.

and to surmise someones view of god is simple means you know a lot more about it? no one knows shit. thats the only real answer. i respect him for his self-awareness and honesty.

 

I will try again. If you come to awareness by understanding that God does not decide games, well, IMHO, that is pretty lame. As I said, I respect his right to have a point, I just don't think it is very deep. How is that? But it is ok, just not insightful.

 

God doesn't care who wins, just who covers the spread.

 

yeah you missed the boat. god told me.

 

Then why do people pray for their teams to win? Remember the commercial for the first DVR where the guy's team is lining up for a winning field goal and he pauses it to drive to church to pray his team to victory?

 

God told me to lay the points week 5 Cowboys vs Patriots. He is going to punish Tom Brady by making him throw 6 interceptions. I shouldn't say this but Roger Goodell is going to choke on a chicken wing while laughing at Brady and die.
