Football Prayers?

Postby Fozzer » Mon May 24, 2010 12:48 pm

Good grief!... :o....

They are dragging "Religion" kicking and screaming into "Football " now!

(As though we haven't got more than enough of it/them already!).

What a load of Cod's Wallop!.... ;D...!

Quote:
"Another [Prayer], written for those with no interest in the game, asks that they may be granted "the gift of sympathy".
End quote.

...I don't think so!... ;).... ;).....!

Paul..... ;D....!

Will you be praying to; " 'im up there" for a goal?... ::)... ;)... ;D...!

You have a God Fozzer, in a pub in Piccadilly! I took a trip into central London on Friday and saw a pub with a huge sign outside proclaiming a "Wold Cup Football free zone".. It's just behind St. James' church if you're interested  ;)

Personally I'll be watching every game, each to their own of course.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

The thing that has always confused me about prayer in sport is surely both teams are sending up prayers to their deity of choice and the losers can probably now sue the winners on the grounds of religious prejudice e.g. their God prefering them....

It's more confusing when both sides are praying to the same god. ::) :-X
