Dumbest "prediction" about the Super Bowl so far...

I mean, what happens then if the Panthers LOSE?

The rapture?

Rick Joyner: A Carolina Panthers Super Bowl Win Will Be A Prophetic Sign Of The Third Great Awakening

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 2/1/2016 11:42 am

On today's "Prophetic Perspective on Current Events" program, Rick Joyner recounted a prophecy delivered by evangelist Bob Jones, who, according to Joyner, declared years ago that a Super Bowl victory by the Carolina Panthers would be a sign of the start of the Third Great Awakening.

Despite the fact that Jones had once been removed from ministry for, among other things, sexually abusing women, he served as a spiritual mentor to Joyner and was highly regarded as a prophet by many in the movement. With the Carolina Panthers slated to play in the Super Bowl this weekend, Joyner recounted how Jones had not only prophesied the team's creation in North Carolina, but also foresaw that their first Super Bowl win would signal a nationwide awakening and movement of God, just as last year's Super Bowl victory by the New England Patriots was also a sign from God.

Outside of the Pentagon, "organized sport" is the biggest waste of more money for a return of zero consequence to the human condition.

I have ZERO interest in "organized sports" of any kind. Waste of money and time, so I won't be holding a Superbowl party.

Series-ly, and if the seachickens had won, what would that mean, that God approves of major assholes????

He left after his big kerfuffle with BossHOG right after the Saints won the Superb Owl. 2010 or 2011?? They both actually disappeared after that game, but BossHOG I think left first, without a trace. forkboy said he had just gotten tired of the place in a pm to me. Don't know what happened to either, though BossHOG seem on the edge of a breakdown after the Saints won. Go figure.

I can't imagine the prayers of people like Chris Christie and Jerry Jones would be a positive influence on God!

Too many people take professional sports far too seriously.

In the end, it's just a game.

You know, because most all-seeing, all-knowing supernatural beings hedge their Extinction-Level Events on the outcome of an American sports tournament.

Seems like there are a lot of more pressing issues that he should be paying attention to.

Idiots.
