Let’s Stop Calling New Atheism, “Atheism,” and Start Calling it What it is: Anti-Theism

[Fumesucker]

182. Now if football fans would just stop trying to use law to force me to act like a fan too

Even though the game bores me to somnolence.

And if they would just shut the fuck up about football every now and then, praise the quarterback...

Jesus Christ Football Star by Martin Mull

It was a beautiful day, it was a sellout crowd
and the air was filled with a mighty yell
folks was carrying pennants -
some said Heaven and some said Hell
and the referee stepped to the field
and he flipped a coin, and it revealed
what every faithful Christian should believe -
that Jesus was elected to receive.

so let's give Jesus Christ the football
let him even up the score
let him run it through the crossbars
and be on the cross no more
let's give Jesus Christ the football
let him even up the score
let him run it through the crossbars
and be on the cross no more.

well, satan, he used an onside kick
thank God that matthew was thinkin quick
he took that ball from satan
it was Christians, first and ten
and with the strength that moved the rock
well, the Savior made him a mighty block
and found himself the way he'd been conceived -
free and clear, and open to receive

so let's give Jesus Christ the football
let him even up the score
let him run it through the crossbars
and be on the cross no more
let's give Jesus Christ the football
let him even up the score
let him run it through the crossbars
and be on the cross no more.

well, Jesus took that ball and ran
a straighter path than any man
he had to win that game
for both his Dad, and all mankind
but satan sent his finest man
he said "forget the rulebook - just defend.
it isn't how we play, we've got to win!"
but J.C. left them standing in their sin

so let's give Jesus Christ the football
let him even up the score
let him run it through the crossbars
and be on the cross no more
let's give Jesus Christ the football
let him even up the score
let him run it through the crossbars
half of which he's seen before.
