Faithful, the Good Book tells us in Luke 6:43-45 that, so to speak, the tree is known by the fruit that it bears us:
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
So, what then are we to make of the fact that in Muslim Afghanistan, the National Sport is dragging a decapitated rotting goat carcass around a field until your horses give out or you manage to plop the corpse into a "goal" enough times?
No,
REALLY:
Buzkashi or kokpar (literally "goat bashing" in Turkic, buz is Turkic for "goat" and kashi "means bashing")[1] is the Central Asian sport in which horse-mounted players attempt to drag a goat carcass toward a goal. Traditionally, games could last for several days, but in its more regulated tournament version also has a limited match time.

Now, I knew Mohammedans had a variety of dubious predilections–kiddie diddling
, blowing up civilians for fun
, smoking grass (like,
literal grass)
, etc., but this... what in the Lord's name are you to even say about this?!?
Meanwhile,
in Christian America...
Horseplay with headless rotting goats versus
a soon-to-be $25 billion dollar a year extravaganza.
Now, WHO does it look like has God on his side? No contest on that question if you ask me–easier than bashing a dead goat!
