Ie
The God of Everything
People in the chess world sometimes want to know whether I think God makes me win matches. Yes. And sometimes he makes me lose them too. He is the God of chess and, more importantly, the God of everything. Win or lose, I give him the glory. Of course, it’s hard when I don’t get what I want, the way it is for any child whose father says no. But even when I don’t understand God’s ways, I’m confident that his vision is much bigger than my own.

-Removed-That is one of the things interesting I found.
And if you bothered to understand what he was saying, he said he thought sometimes God's answer to prayer was "No".
That was your thread Coming Home. I only suggested that it belonged on the Sports Forum. I never returned to it.
And I don't recall any participation in something called "World Cup Prayers".

It ill behooves you to find something positive to say about anything a Christian posts in this forum doesn't it?

No it's not.
Originally posted by @secondsonIn the light of the OP, what do you make of the fact there are Muslims, Jews, Hindus and atheists who are elite chess players too?
Well, what would have been interesting is if you had said "it's interesting that this is all you have to offer on this OP" to divegeester's reply to the OP.
Originally posted by @secondsonThat would have been better than what you decided to lead with. So I was wrong. You did have something better to offer than what you chose to lead with.
I don't think it matters.
