World Cup prayers

-Removed-

None of them.

Righteous men do not pray about a sports team.

Oh, I get it.

NOW you're being ironic.

Obviously, God supports England, it is, therefore, prudent for the righteous to do likewise.


😏

Not sure about this Ghost.
With the bible being written in English I think it only
fair to say that god supports an English speaking team.

btw: Does anyone remember the post about a Heaven XI years ago.

No. It cures people from being stupid, and from mocking God with meaningless questions about praying for games in a forum about spiritual matters.

Get the cure, or lose the game.

Maybe someday one of your fellow Christians will actually go ahead and pray to your god figure for some selfish partisan reason - for their army, their political party, for their child to win some competition, for their sports team - and then divegeester's question about this spiritual matter won't be meaningless anymore, will it?

Oh, wait...

God chuckles at prayers to win, when it's the point spread that matters.

Wait, do people bet on the point spread in soccer? I mean, there's so rarely much of one.

I know it's a big one Lord but I promise not to ask for anything for another 4 years

The righteous would not pray for World Cup football
They would pray for cricket. 🙂

How would you know?
I would never begrudge a truly righteous man to lay a bet
Hey, he'll prolly win and share it with friends and family . Where's the problem ?

Missing the point is your one true talent in life, isn't it?

Hmm. While on the one hand I think it's a bit silly for athletes to point to the sky after every touchdown they score, I can't help but think your statement is a tad absolutist. Righteous people are NEVER supposed to pray for a sports team? Why not?
