In trolling the Internet this morning, I came across a couple of different discussions about the “celebrations” of athletes who point to the sky or make notable gestures of faith when they play games, and especially when they score.

You might be surprised at the consensus of comments.

In essence, it sounds like this: “These fools think that God doesn’t have something better to do than orchestrate a victory for one team or another.”

Oh, the great debate has arisen again.

When I was a teen, I wrote a number of quotes in the back of my Bible—ideas from better thinkers than I about the way God’s world works. One of those quotes was this: “God doesn’t choose sides in sports events; God is for God.” Of course, I was young then.
