Perhaps you have gone to sports competitions and watched people pray before a game or a one-on-one event such as boxing, karate, track and field or wrestling?Does the person who prays to their God have a better chance of winning?What if the athlete is an atheist and they only believe in them selves as they have no God.
Rather they rely on their training, attitude and strength of character all from within.
Amongst those two types of athletes who has the advantage?Or are they both tapping into something called the human spirit and calling upon their inner will and human intent.
In my life I have never been much of a religious fellow and I have competed against religious people who would sit down and pray before a race and I always won and I thought to myself apparently their God was not strong enough to allow them to beat me.
I realize this may bother some people and they do not wish to look at the psychology of sports and human sports competition, nevertheless I bring this subject up because it is quite fascinating.
Did the Christian athlete who prayed to their God not believe they were worthy of winning or did they have guilt and did not believe they were up to it? Did the Christian athlete have doubt?Why couldn't they win?After all if God is on their side giving them the strength to beat me then should they have beaten me?But they didn't and they couldn't and well, why is that?Interesting subject isn't it? Perhaps you might consider all this in 2006.
