Here in Alabama, there are three kinds of people: fans of Alabama Crimson Tide fans Tiger Auburn and atheists. Two of the three will go to hell when they die. That two depend entirely on that ask.
Are called Alabamians who like football but do not have any special equipment, preference "agnostics." It is the faithful hope that one day these poor, pathetic souls will buy a jacket of Alabama or give a plug of Auburn and experience the joy of committing to a particular computer.Until then, are considered to be social outcasts and recreativos.A pray for them is that we can do.
Why all the religious references a column that is supposed to be about football? because religion and football are closely interlinked, my friend, far more in common can pensar.Tenga account this passage from the great guide of San Adanes, recently discovered in a dark basement on the campus of the University of Notre Dame.
The step reads: "And on the seventh day God created football and everything was right with the world... until Satan brought the referees..."
It is impossible to believe in college football without also believe in a higher power. Here in Alabama - and a lot of other places - football is a religion. For some, is the only religion.Blasphemy, you say?Creo.Oraciones more was said and answered during the match average college football in most churches during a month of the domingos.Esto explains why evangelists love to celebrate revivals in football stadiums. Mood has already been established. The Congregation has season tickets.
Consider this: Alabama has been a lot of national press lately due to two things:
(1) The quality (or lack thereof) of the University of Alabama football team and (2) morality is taking and battles legal libra by Alabamians on the separation of Church and State. Football and religion religion and football. And for us.
Playing God in Alabama offense are people as students of secondary school who walked out of class as a moment of prayer was not allowed by a test of matemáticas.Personalmente, I prefer to have my teens saying prayers in the classrooms of school who sing rap songs and riding around in heavy cars. I believe that these young people are limited, however. When I was in school we prayed before of each test, not only in mathematics.
Then is Judge Roy Moore, one of the captains team of God, if you want. Moore is the Alabama judge that has ten commandments plaque hung on the wall in her courtroom. The Supreme Court has ordered the Board to be decommissioned, but our beloved Governor FOB "I am the law in these elements" James, has said that we will send in the National Guard to ensure Board kept up. You can call this opting for the defence.
What opens another question: If Alabama secedes from the Union due to the oppression of the ACLU and NCAA, which makes FOB our King?If so, I think that it is more than enough reason to not be separated. King FOB. Sounds as a giant Gorilla with a voice, impediment is not the case.
Return to the present topic, I believe that football has become a religion reach more opinion is attested by the fact that still nobody tried to push a legal lever between organized religion and organized College football.Perhaps give account of how useless would be their efforts.Or perhaps only fears of divine retribution.I understand Bear Bryant and Shug Jordan were not men be crossed while here on Earth.God forbid some heretic, ACLU lawyer upset them now.
When the University of Alabama and Auburn play among themselves as did them the past weekend, the faithful drop everything you do and attend the game as sages chasing star distante.Todo State is todavía.Intente find a washing machine repairman or a medical emergency during a game of Alabama/Auburn.Son room be found by any parte.Usted may die in dirty clothes, but it is what you get for not attending the big game.
End of Iron Bowl this year was, as always, proportions apocalípticas.En final moments of the game, just before the famous Bell to indicate the end everyone's faith was put in prueba.Como marked clock down-... 5 6...4... 3... 2... 1...they were either devoutly to Alabama or completely gave his life to Auburn.
There was no "Atheist" section in these media.
Amen.
