    I'm Agnostic, I don't pretend to know what the **** happens after you die, and I'm comfortable with that. Because I could care less if there is or isn't a God. And yes I have a problem with anyone thanking "God"
    for "good things" when there is so much bad in the world. But unlike yourself, at least I'm consistent. :good :thumbsup

    This will sound really stupid after you read that I'm Agnostic... :hi:

    Can't fault someone for using a term like "he" or "she" when it is a product of our language. pretty hard to get around that.

    God and who or what he/she/it is determined in the conciousness of the beholder:good


    Most human's invoke "god" or the name of god in many unrealistic ways.
    ALL that really matters is the spirtuality of the individual and what it means to them. TO EACH HIS OWN!!! If someone expresses it in terms of boxing?? That's their opinions/feelings and are entitled to it. Considering the viloent nature and unfortunate possibilities that can occur in a fight, it's not suprising that spirituality is involved and it's EXPRESSION occurs.

    GOD BLESS US ALL:happy If there isnt one?? Well, what did that really hurt?? The human spirit has always had a strong desire to believe in such things, even though mannerism's, custom's, and "gods' can be different things to different groups.

    you're a complete idiot, your opinion on God not being real is about as equal to those who are sure he's real.

    I don't really have a problem if boxers want to invoke god into the discussion. Its there personel choice.

    But i have to question why god would take sides and choose which fighter he would want to win through 'divine' help.
    If he really existed I am sure he would either support both or neither.

    Oh for the record Whoop a smart guy like yourself should be aware that using the term "God" or "it" doesn't mean it is free of gender. As most languages imply gender via masculine and feminine words for instance. But I probably didn't need to tell such a smart guy like you that....

    To imply Amercians are stupid is about the most ignorant thing you could possible say. Cause it implies that you think you are not only better, but above them in some way. Kinda like God? :hi: :blurp :smoke

    Well 3/4 of the world believe in a sprit world and God. The other 25 % live unrisky lives and spend spend most of their time on forums.

    The Bible is very clear that we should pray for all thing no matter how little Ephesians 6:18

    I agree with your perspective, but if a guy is willing to risk life and limb and wants to thank god or believes god had something to do with?? HAVE AT IT!! Believe what you will and enjoy the ride:good

    You, I, and everyone else is free to disagree. I dont think it hurts anything either way.

    There are quite a few here who think this sport is unhealthy that God would never be involved but there are riskier sports. You however have a bit different perspective. I think God knows who needs a win and who needs a loss for he blesses, disciplines, takes away, humbles, and works in mysterious ways and especially after one has crossed over

    You post with Americans here too and stupidty is relevant to the individual. It's a shame your perspective is so JADED and your mind is stuck in a racist PRISON. There's good, bad, and UGLY, of every race, creed, nationality, and GENDER.:good

    If believing in God makes someone a better person what's the problem with that... who among us here got a problem with that?

    I personally have no idea if God exists or not, I am quite unsure but I'll say that it's quite lame and childish of YOU to assume that God doesn't exist.

    I have no problem with that as long as losing your belief in God doesn't make you a worse person.
