Nah, I just thought it was funny.
I think it's also funny that you seem to think so many people here have an issue with Christians (or religious folk) being on the Royals. It's about WHO is religious and is it influencing their playing time? Witt Jr. was the #1/#2 prospect in all of baseball going into the season. That and his strong spring is what caused him to be in the Bigs getting regular P.T., not his religious affiliation. OTOH, if a shitty player like O'Hearn is getting regular P.T. (he's not now, but he was) who probably has no business being on a MLB roster and he happens to also be a religious guy, it makes you wonder. Especially with some of the shit that supposedly went on in St. Louis while Matheny was there.
But setting all that aside, Matheny's teams (Cards and Royals) have consistently been at the bottom of baseball for defense and baserunning and he overuses certain bullpen guys (Barlow and Rosenthal, for instance) that tends to lead to more arm injuries. He's a terrible tactical manager and he also retains coaches (Eldred) who can't seem to get through to their players.
He's a shitty manager. Period. Regardless of what you believe or don't believe about his religious affiliation and Bible thumping in the clubhouse.
He needs to go!
