Thread: athletes thanking God

What do you think about athletes thanking God after a win. I get mixed feelings. I do believe elite athletes have received a beautiful gift but I don't know if thanking God after you ktfo of someone makes sense. I don't know, seems a bit of to me. I think God Has a lot on his plate and may not be following sports all that much. I am pretty sure God is a Boston Red Sox fan.

I think it's one of the more idiotic and egocentric practices we commonly see today.

I'm not religious, but if I was I'd be offended that some moron thought my god was helping him hit a home run or give someone a concussion instead of helping the little boy who got kidnapped, raped and murdered or one of the other thousands of tragedies that happens every day. It really is a sick belief that I never understood. The combination of stupidity and arrogance to believe that the trivial things in your life are that important just feeds my hatred of religion and bible humpers.

After the Boston bombings, there was an older gentleman who came out and said that he narrowly avoided the first bomb: him and his group were walking towards the area and if they were 10 seconds ahead they would have been killed/injured. Of course this fucking retard was on the news babbling about how god was looking out for him and kept him and his group out of harms way. I wish I could ask him why god felt he was more important than the many people who were injured, and why his life meant more than that poor kid who was killed.

If you think god is guiding you or has a plan for you, you really are a dope.

Apparently, you have never tried to achieve anything great

I don't like it, but at the end of the day, if I had a microphone I would be tempted to say things that I think and I guess others might not like that too. It is up to the fighter.

You are in the right track. To get the mic, you have to win the fight, and it is very very hard... This is wh many athletes are believers...

Convenient.

I won because of god. I lost because god wanted it.

Utterly pathetic.

My take is that the thanks-togod- spiel is the result of people who accomplished something from a world they came from -called: next to nothing.

A nobody coming from nowhere to become something in someone's eyes. Coveted, making big money is a humbling experience to which they accredit a great source that gave them that extra drive to do shit most others copped out on. Training, studying, completing something.

Now I don't care for it: especially as said- thanking a god for knocking someone out. Or catching a football. But I look at their upbringings.


A rapper poor as dirt, calling women bitches and hoes and then thanks god for selling a million of it? Seems ludicrous and demeaning to the god.

Yet when the producers and managers of such rapper win an award- or every Oscar award winner in acting that I've seen... they thank their cohorts; fuck a god. It is as if their upbringing doesn't give them any sense of humility.

And the rest are just religious freaks that attribute everything to god.
Sister Jenkins almost got her gas cut off...but the lord came through. Really? or was it a legislator who took tax dollars from hard workers and gave it to the poor woman who either cant work or don't wanna work?

She should be thanking God for those tax paying citizens.
Feel me?
