Church and Softball?

If Jesus was at bat, and Jesus was in the circle ... When would you go to the snack bar ?

Well the runs usually come shortly after a trip to the snack bar, so... Wait, why is Jesus playing softball? I get the feeling Arto will have the answer from a South Park episode!

Pffft ! ... Because there are too many people named Jesus already playing soccer ...

After Jesus batted cause the following batters wouldn't have a chance...Even Jesus only gets one at bat through the line up...Duh

When Bugs Bunny batted against the Gas House Gorillas, he got more than one at bat ... Are you saying that Jesus can't have the same opportunities that Bugs had ? And furthermore, can Jesus throw a rise ball so good that Jesus can't hit it ?

Careful, you might dredge up the ghosts of Vince Denny and Gene Penstinky.

Ok I'll bite...who are they and how would they have reacted to this thread?

You would have to go back 10-12 years ago on the old original message boards, rec.sport.softball and fast pitch forum.

These were two of the most vile posters who would be ultra-offensive to posters in threads like this one. Really, really bad especially since there were no moderators back in the day.

I hear that rise is legendary on Easter Sunday, smoking' on Ash Wednesday, but merely good on Friday.

No mocking intended- IMO GOD has a sense of humor- he certainly is aware of the intent any jokes were made and he alone can pass judgement on those

Serious question; Why is it that athletes only give thanks to God when they do something good? We always see Tebow kneel and give thanks after a TD, or some hitter look to God when they cross home plate after smacking a 500ft homer.... how come ive never seen them look to God after they strike out looking? or throw a pick late in the game??

Good question - I hear from athletes I am close to that when the good happens, they would rather give credit to God for the talent He gave them, rather than strut around and say "Yay for me ! ".
