Seriously, people say things like you used for an example all the time. Thank god I didn't go in the sand trap, thank god it didn't rain today. Those are harmless.
But their are other examples, Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann come to mind who use references to God, either because they really believe what they say or are too naive to know better. I'd choose the latter. Bachmann backing off and saying it she was talking metaphorically when she said the hurricane was a message from God doesn't cut it. I believe she really meant that. I want a President who acts with logic and reality.
With regard to sports, I can't give specific examples but you and I have both heard athletes say in interviews "All glory goes to God" "God was with us today"
I happen to love the Green Bay Packers.....I doubt God has anything to do with any of their victories through history. I don't make myself real clear on this....but you get the gist.
