In Which I Get Struck by Lightning
Twice this week, I have heard the story of a nun who is credited with a religious college's basketball team proceeding through the annual NCAA tournament. (Proceed with sarcasm.) How heart-warming. How inspirational. How unbelievable.
1) Does anyone truly believe that the nun's prayers are responsible for the team's successes?
2) Why is she praying for something so trivial as a basketball team when she could be praying for a sustainable peace in the Middle East?
3) If her prayers have been so successful, why doesn't the team win every year?

And what happens if the other teams get nuns to pray for them. Does God have some kind of nun-off to decide which nun's prayers are the best and go with that one?
And why nuns and not rabbis, imams, or... whatever Buddhists or Hindus have, or religions with even smaller followings? What about outdated religions? Would you like to have a druid pray for you?
