Dawn Staley had a message for nonbelievers after her team advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four.

“If you don’t believe in God, something’s wrong with you, seriously,” the University of South Carolina women’s basketball coach said during an on-court interview after the game, adding that God made her team’s prayers come true.

As quoted in the Deseret News.

So if I understand this correctly, her god intervenes in human affairs and takes sides in college basketball games. How does this work? Is it based on which team prays harder that her god decides to make the winner? And how does this god finagle the win? Perhaps by goosing the players on the winning side? Or maybe by tripping up the ones on the losing side? Or does it just take charge of the ball and make it go into the basket more often for the side it wants to win?

Is Dawn Staley so self-involved that she doesn’t realize that for her team to win, the other team has to lose?

In the meantime, while this god is having fun interfering with childish games, there are people dying of pandemics and air disasters, to name just two. Where is her god when it’s really needed?

As far as not believing in her god, well, a god that spends its time diddling with children’s games when there are important things that it should be attending to, even if that god existed, it’s not one I’d care to believe in, let alone worship.

As to believing in any god, I’d seriously consider it if someone could supply me with some real evidence for a god’s existence.

It’s sad that people like Dawn Staley can’t be content with their unfounded beliefs in a deity, they just aren’t happy until they start spewing their invective about what’s wrong with people who can’t believe in their nonsense.

I’m sad that there are people like Dawn Staley who are in leadership positions over impressionable young people, but as long as there are baka people like Dawn Staley running off at the mouth, and of course, she’s hardly the worst, I’ll keep writing the occasional piece about the stupidity of religion and other supernatural beliefs and the harm they cause.
