Josh Hamilton receives a message from God!
October 28, 2011 at 2:33 pm
In case you're wondering why God isn't healing the blind or making paralyzed people walk, it's because he's spending his time watching baseball games.

If you believe Josh Hamilton, "God" told him that he would hit a homer! Too bad "God" isn't telling world leaders how to live peacefully together. Or telling researchers how to find a cure for cancer. But then, I guess a baseball game is more important.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Well, going by gods track record it's looking like a safe sideline to bet against that homer.

God is a huge sports fan. He loves the rich and corrupt and couldn't give a fuck about the poor or the seriously ill.
Nice guy eh?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Hamilton's batting average is .298.
I'll bet that when 'God' lets Hamilton know he's going to hit a homer, 'God' is right about 3 times out of 10. Coincidentally the same as his batting average.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Hamilton's Head as he walks to the plate:
"whew... I sure hope I hit a homerun. I sure want to. You know, I feel pretty good today ... I bet I could hit one. I haven't hit one for awhile ... I'll bet I'm due. God, I wanna hit one. Come on god, how bout it? I'm thinkin I can do this. Come on god! I think god WANTS me to hit this thing outta the park. You know what ... I KNOW he does!! Come on Josh - hit that mother F-er! Come on god ... lets do this thing!"
[CRACK!]
Hamilton's Press Release later that day:
"God TOLD me that I was going to hit a homerun."

lmao ... I know - it's so awesome, god was nice enough to hook you up with a homerun, but yeah, the overall victory wasn't meant for you.

I have to wonder why God never told him to stay away from drugs and alcohol when he was younger....
