Thank goodness for Henry 8th (even if for selfish reasons) and Martin Luther as otherwise we might still be genuflecting all over the place as so many foreign players do for some reason on the pitches of England.
The bible, albeit no doubt historically inaccurate, does have some decent allegorical stories and the values from Moses through to Arsenal's no.9 represent a reasonable code for living IMHO.
Not sure where to begin...
I'm not sure relatively few players making openly religious gestures on a football pitch is worth the centuries of religious strife that followed the establishment of the Church of England. Fair few English players make religious gestures of their own - Saka, for example.
I'd not be so confident about Moses as a code for living - some of his rules are irrelevant ("worship no God but me"), and others are actively bad ("you shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination"). Even Jesus places a very high value on religious worship. I'm not sure if his encouragement of lives of poverty is entirely wise, though I see the value in encouraging charity - if nothing else, I don't think it's a realistic prescription for most people.
"you shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination"
He was right mate, it's sick
Thank you for sharing your very own brand of honed theological analysis.
