I say: I am an atheist, so, why would I do that? Good riddance.
I might add that the term Christian is a very broad spectrum. This thread is probably very offensive to many of them.

How so?

OK, what about


Oh Jesus Christ!
Is Wonderful!
Oh Jesus Christ is Wonderful!
He’s literally made of nails, wine and crackers!
Oh Jesus Christ is wonderful!

Oh Jesus Christ is magic
He wears a thorny hat
And when he got buried
He said "I'm coming back"

Then they shouldn't read it.

Our lot never stop you in the street asking you not to believe in faries. I was even having a quiet moment with my earbuds on waiting from a mate in Coronation Gardens before the game last Saturday when one of them insisted on trying to save me.

1, Could I still swear at awful refereeing?
2, Would there still be fixtures during the holidays?
3, Is it still permissible to blame God for us losing?
4, When you say Christian is the Catholic or CofE?

Appreciate answers to all of the above.

Simple: all are null and void as religion only causes trouble.

I imagine it’s quite unusual in this day and age to have a group of 20-25 men aged under 40 and over 1 in 3 of them be Christian, so I do find it interesting that there’s a high concentration of believers in the squad.

George M appears to spread the positivity in his messages of Christianity. Listen to his interviews and his social media content and he is often talking about challenges in life and Jesus giving him the power to overcome them. He also credits Jesus with playing a large part in any success he may have. I can see how this kind of messaging would appeal to a professional sports person.

Deeply saddened (not offended) by the comments on this thread. Chiefly because over the years Jesus and his message has been so misrepresented by his 'followers'.

12&4 certainly in both !

Good to see the club take my idea on board and we can now see that Jesus has rewarded us with success on the pitch. Now we need to profit.

We have our prophet, we don't need profit. Cast out the money makers I say

Feels like we could have avoided several decades of mostly underachievement by getting The Big Man in a bit sooner.

Would appeal internationally and we could pledge only to sign believers in future, possibly attracting star players.

We could also have church service at brisbane road on sundays and attract thousands.

NO! I think religion is a load of rubbish and causes more harm than good. Moncs annoys me with his consistant God talk frankly. You can see he is a good man but I do not wish to have other people's beliefs rammed down my throat.

So we discriminate against other religions

Might have imagined it but thought I noticed El Miz trying to keep out the way of the champagne being sprayed around after full time at Gillingham. I think other sports - particularly the England cricket team - have switched to non alcoholic stuff to avoid anyone feeling uncomfortable. If we do have people practicing other religions in the dressing room, I'd hope we do the same.

Leyton Orient is my religion, I need no other

Definitely not - but we should be super welcoming to players, staff and fans of all religions and none!

Well said!

And also well said!

I’m happy for anyone to believe if it makes them happy but I’m a proper eye roller at the praising god thing. Think it’s all rubbish

BUT it seems like it really has brought this group together and even the lads who probably aren’t religious have embraced and accepted it which must do wonders for the squad unity. Seems a very open and accepting bunch.

Can you imagine the response if it was El Miz who had encouraged half the squad over to pray for his sky fairy?

Yeah true
