About this episode

The episode discusses the tendency of individuals in various competitive situations to seek divine support and the implications of such beliefs.

In high school, college, and professional sports sports everyone wants God on their side. In business negotiations, a divorce, or any competition everyone wants God on their side. Needles to say both sides in war want God on their side! I am glad that I am not God constantly taking sides. Don’t put God in the middle!
