After Seattle’s comeback win over Green Bay, fans of faith and football admired the Seahawks as the players knelt in prayer to personally thank God for their miraculous victory. Other fans may have been tempted by a less visceral moment to question why such an omnipotent God was lounging around the clouds in a No. 12 jersey watching football while ignoring deadly natural disasters, worldwide diseases and a host of daily atrocities of men against men, women and children. Regardless of your persuasion, we know that our hard-working Seahawks may, or may not, win the next Super Bowl. And even in 2015, some may believe that the outcome of the “big game,” followed by hurricanes, pandemics, and wars will be positively altered by prayer if you just have faith. Let’s see what happens.
