they always end things with the religious shout out. i genuinely am intrigued as to why the majority of fighters are not only religious but want everyone to know they are, is there a mandate somewhere telling them to say that? does the ufc give bonuses for that kind of thing? if theyre not giving bonuses for that, they should be, considering the direction the ufc has been heading and what kinds of fans theyre trying to cultivate and influence
People are religious at their own will, religions fulfills us, yes i think that religion generally is good, i know it can bad and go wrong easily but anything goes wrong with humans, politics, ideologies, sports, etc, but that doesn't mean those things are bad.
Me not believing in religion itself is usually viewed as offensive to them, yet if anything it’s some of their views that are innately disrespectful to me. Such as their views on what happens to people who commit suicide, non believers and those who are gay.
So whereas my belief is just that I.. don’t believe in anything. Their beliefs directly disrespect me. If I’m making any sense.
You were so close to commenting without mentioning politics. This is not r/politics. Please keep political discussion and your political views out of /r/MMA. r/MMAPoliticsAndCulture may be a better fit for this content. An exception will be made for discussion of MMA legislation by governing bodies.
oh, you mean how they say things like “i thank the lord for blessing me with talents” and then follow up with snark like “it makes me superior to the secular heathens who are spiritually void”?
pronouncing on reddit how religion is bad, without any solicitation, sounds cool and rebellious when you’re 14 and your parents finally let you skip church for the first time.
