I wish they would win more championships. I could watch Philly fans eat poop every day.

[dforest]

NO. the notion is really stupid and believed by over rambunctious Eagles fans.

There is nothing that happens in this world that God is not involved in.

Eric Liddell gave glory to God for his athletic achievements as well (”those who honor Me I will honor”).

It isn’t that God helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl. It is that the faith in God practiced by Eagles players helped them prepare for and execute to the best of their God-given abilities.

To everything there is a season......................

[SkyDancer]

Nope.

[Personal Responsibility]

This all comes down to belief in free will.

If you believe God has a full plan for everyone and everything that happens then yes, God had planned for the Eagles to win and made sure that happened.

If you believe in free will then it seems relatively silly (to me) to believe He would care who won a football game, regardless of the participants piety.

Townhall is an embarrasment.

I’m so old I remember when God loved the Dolphins. Now not so much.

[Fresh Wind]

It’s clear that God placed a huge bet on Da Iggles, and then fixed the game so He could win. /s

[Vermont Lt]

Bill Belicheck and Malcom Butler lost the Superbowl.

Do God make them do it? I don’t care. They are losers and hated in New England.

[webheart]

Actually it’s kind of a stupid question.

[Rummyfan]

Well, Nick Foles and Doug Pederson. But it doesn’t hurt to have God on your side.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Belief in God is one less thing to worry about, so it does allow for more focus.

[Reeses]

Rather than looking for signs of divine intervention, what if we simply look for the practical fruit of strong faith?

Yes, strong faith is definitely a competitive advantage, and this part of religion can be studied scientifically. It is an objective fact that people with strong faith in general live longer, happier lives with better marriages and more children. In general they earn and keep more wealth than they would have otherwise. They win more games in large part by not being fazed by long odds. No honest scientist can dispute that. Strong faith is a competitive advantage others do not enjoy, hence the leftist envy and satanic desire to destroy it.

[pgkdan]

Nope.
