Quote by: Sonart  You've never played team sports, have you, Rainbow? I have... lots... and it doesn't work that way. Home or away, you show up in the locker room with plenty of time to get suited up and taped up, or whatever. You have LOTS of time to yourself... most spend it joking around with teammates, going over plays, visualizing the upcoming game, getting their gameface on... and yes, even praying... before Coach finally comes iin for his pre-game fire-up before sending us onto the field.
You can easily tell who's absorbed in their own thoughts and want's to be left alone. Simple as that.
Neither of your scenerios apply. |
(Maybe not that LOTs, but) I did played, instead :-)))
I simply see no reason to turn my private enterprise into wishful desire to be directed and/or brought to God's attention. That is not what Faith is all about.
Exception : event(s) that may shift around and/or influence my whole life.
The hypothetical scenarios (I present) apply to all of us, everyday. They may not necessarily match submitted ones, yet we follow them in every single moment.
Example :
- guys walking down the street
Another aspect of this thread's issue.
Since I may not express my religious approach in public :
- what is the reason that I need to respect those with no-religious affiliation guys, while the those guys seem to present no respect to my religious affiliation
???
Why guys with no-religious approach force me to obey their request ?
What happens when we reverse that process ?
The point is :
- wrongly understood the concept of (so-called) Democracy
- lack of tolerance
- biased approach
- stereotypical way of thinking
- etc.
These are Psychology and Sociology-related issues.
Back to topic
Are you suggesting that players with no-religious affiliation, have no clue on events in locker-room prior a game ? and they have just realized that lately ?
I believe that some Democracy-thirsty maniacs have problems with tolerating their co-players. That is the reason that whole event ended up on a judge's desk.
P.S.
Democracy is a slogan that works the best : on paper.
Whatever we have it is much better than others', though :-)
