I am a huge fan of Ultimate Fighting Championship aka UFC. I am a martial artist myself and have practiced since I was 11 years old.<br /><br />It seems that some of the biggest stars in this sport credit their ability to beat the shit out of their fellowman for the sake of entertainment as a sign of God's approval of them. Some wear tattoos of biblical verses on their bodies and when doing post fight interviews make stupid religious claims of devotion and thanks to God for their victories.<br /><br />In my opinion this sort of behavior is unflattering and makes them look dumber than hell. A lot of boxers do the same thing it's quite annoying. <br /><br />It is also against their religion since the bible states:16 Do you not realise that you are a temple of God with the Spirit of God living in you?<br /><br />17 If anybody should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God's temple is holy; and you are that temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16,17 (NJB)<br /><br />The body according to this text and others like it are the temple of the Holy Spirit. This is an admonishment to take care of your body and another text states that you should glorify God with both body and soul. I don't see how you are glorifying God as you kick or punch someone in their face to win a pro fight or title for entertainment. I guess it's all about interpretation.<br /><br />Christian hypocrisy and cherry picking makes me sick to my stomach. They are so judgmental of anyone who does not believe in their religions even though there are commands against that as well.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-11685605879396264802012-01-12T01:05:24.851-05:002012-01-12T01:05:24.851-05:00OK, I've been Googling this Tim Tebow douche a...OK, I've been Googling this Tim Tebow douche and now I get what all the fuss is about. I think over here one of our athletes carrying on like him would last about a day and a half. Just like an MP who were to carry on like Rick Perry would never secure more than the 10% hard core Christian vote. To most of us overt displays of public religiosity are a bit if a turn off, especially when you just want to watch the game.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-29380919058780367602012-01-11T06:44:27.356-05:002012-01-11T06:44:27.356-05:00Based on Matthew 6:5-6, all "true" chris...Based on Matthew 6:5-6, all "true" christians should bring back a good old-fashioned stoning for Tebow for publicly and repeatedly defying Jesus' own commands.<br /><br />Also, as far as Obama's "war on religion"...all I can say is "I wish".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-81419494530176810442012-01-11T04:12:45.179-05:002012-01-11T04:12:45.179-05:00I must say that I am not subjected to the mindless...I must say that I am not subjected to the mindless religious idiocy in the media that you speak of. Us Australians don't really care much about American football and I don't even think it gets a showing on the TV here. If it wasn't for the fact that I stumbled across some news stories about his stupid Focus on the Family ads I probably would have had no idea who you were talking about. I found that this guy and his comments aroused a particular level of anger in me that I would say was unusual for me. I am not normally a particularly emotional person. Apparently, because his mother chose to ignore advise that her pregnancy with him posed a serious risk to her life and the best course of action to ensure her survival was to abort the pregnancy, women who are experiencing life threatening pregnancy complications should be denied the choice of an abortion. His mother had a choice. Whether she made a choice that was noble or one that was foolish but just got lucky could be a topic of extended debate. But to enforce by law that women should be denied the option of a medical procedure that is likely to save their life is just disgusting. If granting women that choice could have meant that he never existed then so be it. The rights of the mother outweigh the rights of an unborn fetus.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-32877302821166039772012-01-11T02:43:36.941-05:002012-01-11T02:43:36.941-05:00With every completed pass from the divine interces...With every completed pass from the divine intercession of Jesus, hundreds of starving children in Africa die from starvation. <br /><br />Let's go Broncos! <br /><br />Let's go Jesus!<br /><br />http://www.google.com/search?q=starving+africans&oe=utf-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=XTsNT_-NBqqPigKB1_GDBA&biw=1073&bih=560&sei=ZDsNT822EcSYiQKK-YyBBA#um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&q=starving+people+in+africa&revid=235252133&sa=X&ei=ZzsNT6WZJ4qOiALZ25WOCA&ved=0CD8Q1QIoAQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=b7b35dc75121d23&biw=1073&bih=560Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-51904436367376366962012-01-10T22:53:11.131-05:002012-01-10T22:53:11.131-05:00I would give my left nut (not really), if it came ...I would give my left nut (not really), if it came out that Tebow gets off on smelling young boys jock straps. <br />Charlie (aka Far Left)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-8727054815135828562012-01-10T21:15:55.179-05:002012-01-10T21:15:55.179-05:00Thanks Hump, great post!

However, that aside, I am sure many are waiting for him to get a good sacking just so that we can hear the xtian sheeple bleat that he has lost Gourd's favor. Oh, but they won't will they. Like all "miracles" they only apply to the bits the xtians want to see.tiNstAghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936723980253427417noreply@blogger.com
