"God is a Giants Fan"

When the New England Patriots and the New York Giants play in the Super Bowl on Sunday will God have a favorite team?  You may think this is a ridiculous question but I believe God is going to get a lot of credit on Sunday.  So it is fair to ask who God likes in the game?

Tom Brady or Eli Manning is going to throw a touchdown pass.  As they run down the field to congratulate the teammate who caught the ball it is likely they will point a finger heavenward.  A running back or wide receiver is going to break a big play.  After they are tackled they will rise up and point heavenward.  A defensive back is going to intercept a pass or a kicker is going to split the uprights and, yes, a finger will point to the skies.  Pointing to the heavens is for winners and that means the Giants on Sunday.

God will settle back in his over sized "Lazy Boy", nachos and salsa and maybe a beer on the table as he cheers on the Giants.  How can I be so certain?  Well, ask most anyone in Indiana and any Colts fan and they will tell you how much they hate the Patriots.  The Patriots are coached by the hoodie wearing Darth Vader and evil schemer Bill Belichick.  The Patriot quarterback, Tom Brady, has shattered too many hopes in too many games against the Colts.  Why it is almost sacrilegious that the Patriots have been practicing on Colt ground.  Truth be told, nothing would make most Colt fans happier than to see the Giants crush the Patriots.

God is a Giants fan!  By now some of you may be wondering if i left my brain on a Caribbean beach.  Maybe!  God picking sides-how ridiculous is that?  God tweaking his pinkie finger and a Patriots defensive back slips to the ground.  God moves his right hand and the wobbly pass from Eli lands safely in the tight ends hands.  God deciding the winning side.  It does sound kind of presumptive to believe we know whose side God is on Sunday.

It leaves me wondering if we are also presumptive in political debates, causes, and conflicts that God has to be on our side.  Something to ponder as you eat your nachos and yell at the television this Sunday.  Any Colt fans willing to give me the Patriots and 7?  I have a hunch whose side God is on:>)
