Sporting God

The Florida Gators super-star quarterback Tim Tebow ended Sugar Bowl 2010 on a biblical note with decals beneath his eyes referring to the New Testament claiming God to be a man.

Quarterbacks are touted to be the smartest members on the team, but football in general is not a sport exemplifying intelligence–though there are personal exceptions. The more physical the sport the less intelligence it takes to play and football is very physical.

Religion like football is very physical though it tries to pretend otherwise, like coaches praying for their team, but everything they teach is about the physical to the point where religion has convinced people that God is physical–the culminating thought to the verse quoted.

Football like religion relies upon blind faith–putting one’s head down, looking only at the ground, pushing ahead against any opposition. Religion calls blind effort dogma assuring all believers according to the quote quoted by the football player that God, Creator of Heaven and Earth is a man–just plain ignorant.

A good advice for the football players is to become vegetarians as it says in the Talmud–Book of Law ignorant people should not eat meat. The Cabala explains how the source of life emanates from the deepest light called Atik Yomim/Ancient Days where there is no opposition–only unity.
