His reasoning for it seems pretty well-intentioned, I just read his blog. He's right there are good stories in the bible regardless of your religion. And like he said, nobody was forced to read it. That all being said, it's odd for him to do and I wonder if it was just to add a little more drama to the show. I think Hughes is clearly coming off as the better guy and more likeable guy on the show. He is acting much more professional and just coming off as more confident.
I thought matt hughes was a ***** before this new series of TUF started, he just bugs the **** outta me, don't get me wrong I respect his skill but just can't stand him as a person. People don't have to mention religion to be an ass, hughes is proof of this.
So all he done was give them a bible each and talked to them about a story. Hardly the end of the world is it? Maybe he feels close enough to them now to share his religious beliefs. I've never see Hughes flaunt his religion like Holyfield for example.
thats what Im saying. Im sick of that guy. I couldnt believe when they showed the preview of next weeks episode, and this clown is still whining and a lot of the focus is on him. Just send the ****in guy home already. I cant believe this **** is gonna continue next week. And yeah, that bible reading **** by Hughes was pretty stupid. I love how he said you dont have to read it, then when that one guy, Mac I think, didnt want to read it, Hughes comes up to him, taps him on the shoulder and says "You dont have to read it, but you really should, its a good story, you should read it." Shut the **** up Hughes, dont try and force it on people. I was okay with the bible reading thing until that part. LMAO @ "I just like helping people, I could quit fighting today and go work in a nursing home." Sure Matt.
If a coach on the show busted out the Koran and said, "you don't have to read it, but it's got some interesting stories in it", the majority of you would walk out in disgust. Keep your religious **** to yourself, especially when you SKIP training to push it on others.
The Bible is a pack of parables nothing more. Those who invoke that silly book are largely uneducated and probably haven't even read it.
Many who invoke the Bible are not theologians, and don't really understand Biblical history. But many who invoke science are not scientists, and cannot think according to the scientific method. In short, most people don't know what they're talking about regardless of whether they're religious or atheist. It's foolish, in my opinion, to categorize six billionpeople like you are doing on the basis of one factor (religion) that most of them share anyway, and have shared for their entire history.
And billion'sof children believe in the Easter Bunny. I've read more than 100 books on the subject of religion and religion's detractors with an open mind but not a mind open enough for my brain to fall out. I'll say no more on the subject. This discussion does not belong here and I do not wish to further offend.
I don't want to continue the discussion but since you're so well read, do you believe in higher power that some may call "god"? Just answer yes or no, no need to further thsi discussion.
