Believer VS Non-Believer (Let The Game Begin)

In an effort to bring unity (and perhaps some much needed fun) to all the MDB members, I was thinking about the idea of a believer vs. non-believer softball game.
Believer= anyone who believes in a God/Creator
Non-believer= anyone who chooses to wear the utterly silly label of an atheist (just kidding)
Anyhooo, what say you?
(Me thinks that this group: Ceeboo, Wade, Simon, Liz, Peterson, Hoops, Rockslider, MsJack, Stem, JerseyGirl, Bokovoy, Consig, Nightlion etc, etc) would give an enormous and thorough ass-kicking to our beloved atheist friends.
Peace,
Ceeboo

Ceeboo, would god, if there is such a being, allow your softball team to lose? Why?

He certainly would, for Christians cooperating with those who, calling themselves Christians, elevate themselves to the status of gods. I would rather have a league, making room for all flavors, rather than a dichotomy.

God (if ther is one :)) would not intervene in this matter. The outcome of this game will rest, completely, on the ability of those who play the game.
Are you in?
Peace,

Instead of spending his free time making sure books get published on a reasonable time-table, I'm pretty sure Brent Metcalfe just lifts weights. He's got to be good for a homerun everytime he steps up to the plate. I'll take him on a team.

Well, we do need some folks to tend the BBQ and keep an official score.
Maybe the "earth-worshippers" would be so kind?
Peace,
Ceeboo

All right! I'm in. I've got brownies and pasta salad. If someone else stokes up the bar-b I'll russle up some meat.

I think you left out an important group. How about those believe in more than one God? This is after all "Mormon Discussions."

I often think it's a silly label too, Ceeboo. As others have pointed out, there's no label for people who don't believe in astrology or phrenology. Why is there a label for people who (for similar reasons) don't believe in any gods?
But yeah, I'll play in your game. I have a devastating bat. Expect fiery (too hot to handle) line drives coming your way, mister!
