Christian sports workers degree ridiculed

The old order Mennonites and Amish in Pennsylvania don't need university degrees (or even a high school education) to organize their softball teams, and they seem to do pretty well. Heck, they used to destroy our Boy Scout troop whenever we'd play'em. They thought it was hilarious to watch us English (as they called us) go three-up, three-down every inning.3.

What about a course for atheist sports workers?

epeeist.Did you know Edwards has lost his "faith" and is no longer hosting songs of praise?
I wonder what Jonathon Edwards would think about it?

On Fox it was Dr. Falwell, and here it's Mr. Dawkins. We must be living in topsy-turvey world.16. Comment #44824 by Reverend Dark on May 25, 2007 at 10:56 am
I should think that the church would be shying away from such things after the number of all ages, all weight classes, wrestling incidents that have been showing up in the papers over the last few years.17. Comment #44830 by pewkatchoo on May 25, 2007 at 11:07 am

The course description contains the phrase: "Building on applied theology..." I thought this was kinda funny.40. Comment #45193 by Bremas on May 26, 2007 at 7:30 pm
No one has mentioned jvc's (26) post yet. Had never seen that one before (was rolling), and is probably exactly what RD was referring too.41. Comment #45199 by MelM on May 26, 2007 at 8:41 pm

Reminds me of a really old joke from back in the days when football had centre forwards and inside forwards, and Ian St. John played centreforward.44. Comment #45417 by Luthien on May 27, 2007 at 4:46 pm

Scottishgeologist,
Hailing as I do from Belfast's Shankill Road (though I don't live there now), I note that all your references allude to the religious bigotry of the Rangers fans - the protestants, in other words. Why so one-sided? Celtic has been just as bad with its pandering to the bigotry of its catholic supporters.

Firstly, my post was tongue-in-cheek, as my reference to 'Gazza' makes obvious to anyone who can read.
