On the Paul Finebaughm show, a caller alleged that Alabama football coach Nick Saben's atheism is unquestioned. That issue was entertained, but not taken seriously on this forum. Some are asking whether it matters. Of course it matters. We cannot have a religious litmus test for staff at public universities, but Athletic Director Mal Moore should want not only a winning coach but also someone who will be a good moral influence upon college students. Very little is more important in this life than a strong moral compass. Those who deny the existence of God also reject the author of truth. Rejecting God leads to the rejection of moral truth so evident in our perverse society. I'm thrilled about Nick Saben go to the Tide, but I would love to hear conclusively that the atheism rumor is untrue. It does matter because he stands to have such a strong influence on students. As for those of you deny God's existence, God doesn't believe in athiests (Romans 1).
