I liked it but...


I wish there were more God references, but I know that is hard to do and still keep it mainstream.
And I wanted to see more Football action.

Longtime Kurt Warner fan.

I enjoyed the movie as well. But I've never cared for all the thanking God in sports.

Some Reasons why:
1. God supposedly doesn't interfere with our everyday achievements, failures, if we are gunna die or not die etc.

2. People are in control of themselves, their faults, achievements & failures etc.

3. People are born with all kinds of different gifts passed down genetically. (Some examples; athletic, smart, sense of humor, determined, optimistic, pessimist, realist etc).

This is just a small sample size. But to thank God for ones achievements is grossly miscalculated. Themselves, others in their life, opportunities are the reason of their success.

Now, if you have a strong belief in God/religion and that belief kept you on the "straight & arrow" so to speak. Now i can get on board with that thought process, but that still is NOT God's doing. Thats on the individual themselves.

And lastly, lets not forget that not all athletes have same religious beliefs or same immortal being they believe/warship in.

So again, i absolutely hate when athletes point up at sky or thank God. He's not the reason for their success

How and why is it that you speak with such confidence on this subject? It seems that your view of God is that he is entirely hands-off with creations. Do you think he just flung the world out there and now is sitting back to watch what happens?

Saw your comment.

I always saw it as trying to acknowledge blessings and not trying to suggest they can control God with prayer or appeals
