There are few things in popular culture these days which make me as sick as the "kudo's to Jesus" celebrations which go on after every god-damned touchdown, basket, field-goal, f***ing three yard gain. DO these clowns think their pointless accomplishments REALLY are sanctioned by God?
WTF IS God then? Does he whoop and holler to my daughter's perfect spelling test the same way he(yeah she)does to Allen Iverson's three-pointer? ARE those things of the same value? I'd guess that God is busy indeed. I don't teach my children that their accomplishments are the result of the favor of God. I would bet you as well, that AI doesn't REALLY credit God for the bucket.
You know, the cynical corporate, media, spin, flash-a-minute, mindset has got a hold on our culture. NOW they have co-opted GOD. What's left? Anyone who believes in any kind of God ought to be pissed about this.
It is sickening that 3,000 people die daily as a result of completely preventable diseases, and we celebrate pampered freaks of nature as heroes.
