Ol’ Dirty Bastard interrupts Grammy’s

How do you feel about athletes and entertainers thanking God in their acceptance/victory speeches?

First, let me be clear: I DO believe in God and I’m not knocking Him. And I do believe that He blesses us with success in our endeavors if we trust in him and work hard. But does He care who wins the Super Bowl, or World Series MVP, or a Grammy award?
Batgirl2good, this isn’t about the First Amendment. No one is talking about restricting anything; I know they have the right to thank anyone they want to thank. I’m just asking for people’s opinions on the practice.
Beer drinking lemur, if God were a Bucs fan I really doubt they would’ve spent all those years as the most pathetic team in the NFL… not to mention those hideous orange uniforms that they wore until circa 1997.

Personally, I don’t think God is a big Colts fan, or watches ESPN to get the latest scores for the America’s Cup.

I do think, however, that as Christians, it is our obligation to recognize that without God we are nothing. God gives us the abilities we have, and He is worthy to be praised for our accomplishments.

He gets the glory…end of story! (hey, I made a rhyme!)
