Do Atheist watch sports?

Do you lose respect if a player gives glory to God?

(No disrespect I look at an atheist as a science fan researching evolution)

Yes, and no, I don't really care.
I find it funny that they think god favors their team over the other, or when people think praying will help a receiver catch a touchdown pass, or a golfer to make a putt, etc. etc.

No, I sit on the moon all day and dig holes.

Yes, I do watch sports. I don't lose respect for a player giving thanks to God, but it does kind of make me laugh. Assuming there is a God, why would he/she/it care about how a player performs in a game. Does he/she imagine God sitting on the sidelines with his team's jersey?

Are all players religious?

**Grillparzer** · 10-12-2009, 12:29 AM

Actually I suppose I would. I'm a bicyclist, if Lance Armstrong had fallen on his knees and publicly prayed after winning the Tour de France I don't think I would have been as nearly as impressed with him as I am now.

Jesus hate the Yankees.

It's a FACT.

**Cupcakes** · 10-12-2009, 12:31 AM

I don't watch sports.

Why would I lose respect for someone who believes in God?

**Heavy Metal Jesus** · 10-12-2009, 12:32 AM

No, I don't watch sports. Expression of religious convictions doesn't bother me.

**Eiliat** · 10-12-2009, 12:34 AM

Yes, I really like soccer and I enjoy football.

I don't care what the players do off the field, I just want an entertaining game.

Saying "No disrespect" does not take the disrespect out of a statement. Please stop being disrespectful.
