Why the sign of the cross

Why did this pro bowler who needed a strike to win the championship do the sign of the cross before he threw the ball.  He did get a strike but was it a coincidence.  It was absolutely a coincidence.

THAT WHICH DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER.

Bull. Reality is, it will usually hurt like hell and leave you with a permanent limp.

Actually, it wasn't a "coincidence" :  the guy was a professional bowler - it was skill, training, practice, and conditioning that gave him a good chance of getting the strike.   Now, as for the "signing",  even pros have their superstitions - instead of signing, he might have rubbed a rabbit's foot or had some kind of exotic sideways three-step hop he did for good luck;  fact is, he "made"  his own luck with skill.  I agree with you that neither god or Yeshua helped him with the strike - to assume so, you would have to also assume that god and Yeshua had it in for the guy's opponent ,and that they didn't have any better thing to do than screw around with a bowling tournament.

I know it was skill that got the bowler a strike, not the signing of the cross.  So you think doing the sign of the cross is a superstition.

Beyond any doubt it is.
