We all hear you praise God after the game. You're at a loss for words―except, "God is good". You seem to think that your world and God's world are one and the same. You're in your rightful place at the center of the universe; all is right because you won. Does your opponent not have the same God? Why are you more deserving than he? Is your faith stronger than his? Is there no God in Detroit and Jacksonville?
I am reminded of a previously quoted idea from Steven Pinker's Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress. I called it "The Earth Revolves Around the Sun".
"The first step toward wisdom is the realization that the laws of the universe [God, in this case] don't care about you."
