3-pointers for Jesus

Post by Chmee »

In his postgame interview, Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks gushed: "First of all I have to thank the Lord, Jesus was really with me tonight ...."

Do they really think Jesus has money down on NBA games?

Wouldn't that mean that the Mavericks were cheating since Jesus should count as a 6th man for their team?

Wouldn't it be funny if both sides praised the Lord and only one side won? Does that mean Jesus is taking side bets?

I'm waiting for some fundie to call this blasphemy: and for once I wouldn't disagree (except for the blasphemy part). It's incredibly stupid to assume that a being such as God would even fucking care about a basketball game.

I can imagine Jesus and God taking bets on who'll win the Halo tournament.

Nope. As stated in the rulebook page 126 paragraph 2 that good luck charms are allowed as long as it is firmly attached to the back of the player. So he'll be on one of Maverick player's back helping the team. :) (cookie for the one who knows where it came from) :)

It'd be cool if one of them rushed up into the stands, beat up some fans, and then gave thanks to God. "Jesus was with me when I beat that cracka beotch."

Would they suspend Jesus for a couple of games then?
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Why does that remind me of that scene at the last supper in History of the World pt 1?
