Sir Smoke aLot Posted January 23, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 23, 2014 One of the reasons that God exists is to provide our sport events with sufficient lighting so the people can enjoy the show. Having fun is important thing in every religion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Merton Posted January 23, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I feel compelled to comment on how stupid all this is, but I don't want to be snide since there are a lot of people who do believe prayers asking God for favors sometimes work. I think it stems from a feeling of helplessness and a strong desire to do something, so they resort to the modern equivalent of magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter B Posted January 23, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm reminded of the story of the 6th century Battle of Cúl Dreimhne, in which Saint Columba was credited with helping the Ui Neills to victory over the forces of King Diarmait by decisively outpraying Saint Finnian on the other side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
