I've been watching LOADS of Olympics, any excuse to sit on my ass and do nothing.
But it suddenly struck me, I haven't heard any of the winners thanking god !!
They seem to be taking the credit for themselves, and their coaches, the lottery, their parents sacrifices, anything but god.
Maybe it's because the US aren't quite as dominant as usual, but I think there has actually been a real change of trend.
Things are actually improving !!! I think.

Not true, I saw on TV a GB gold winner say " thank god Im not Australian
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

Believing that God is personally trying to help you win gold medals is less expensive than sports psychologists. They probably have equal footing in terms of woo though.

The lottery? What, did some athelete win the lottery and thus have more time to train instead of taking a job?mistermack wrote:I've been watching LOADS of Olympics, any excuse to sit on my ass and do nothing.

Don't you think it a bit arrogant that some broad thinks the Great Sky Daddy favours her so much as to give her a gold medal?
I thought sky daddy was supposed to love everyone equally.

To be fair, she only said she gave the glory to God, not that she thought it came from him in the first place.Blind groper wrote:Don't you think it a bit arrogant that some broad thinks the Great Sky Daddy favours her so much as to give her a gold medal?

Australia has come up in the rankings. 5 golds last time I looked.
