ok, that makes sense.

I heard he'd had a beer earlier in the day so God was obviously punishing him.

Isn't individual righteousness a personal thing?

Not that fans think BYU should win because of righteousness...

The perception of "moral superiority" is just that - a perception

The point of the thread is moral superiority

Yugo

yes but "moral superiority" is just the excuse BYU haters use to hate on BYU

workinglate

10/30/14 4:37pm

At least a portion of BYU's fanbase thinks it's entitled to wins from the lord

and it still not unique to BYU fans

What other fanbase thinks that?

Well Obama went to Harvard so there is a good chance of fallibility there.

Compare fornication rates alone. Not even against team rules on other teams.

You aren't responsible for "sins" if you don't know it is a sin.
