i figured it would take somewhat of a "miracle" to get me to post something on ssi, and indeed it has. i read this site daily, agree with some if it, disagree with some, but usually leave entertained or having gained an insight. it seems that a series of tim tebow religious posts has finally inspired me to make myself known.
with all of the formalities out of the way, i have a few comments i wanted to throw in.
i wont get into the whole, how do you know who is answering your prayers, god or just an internal voice conundrum. i just wanted to say to the comment about how since the tampa bay rays removed the term "devil" from their name, they have been "tearing it up". well what would you make of the success of the duke blue devils, of college basketball fame? do they not enjoy a great deal of success? their multiple national championships and final fours and the great admiration and respect that their program always get bestowed upon it would seem to make that whole inference completely false. and their mascot is an exact depiction of a "devil", not a marine animal like the devil ray.
i thinks its silly to even have the thought that because a sports team just dropped the word devil from their mascot name, that god has now brought them into his favor.
a seeming knowledge of how god works in peoples life, how he intervenes or doesnt, when he does or doesnt, what types of things he helps with or doesnt, seems pretty arrogant to me. and i dont mean to single out mojician, because this type of thinking is common amonst most christians. i just think its flawed thinking.
