'I would like to thank my saviour, Jesus Christ'

[MasterG]

I wonder if any French kid has thanked god this week for allowing him to break Flannels window and remove thousands of Euros worth of Stone Island gear?

'Je tiens à remercier Dieu et Jésus-Christ, mon sauveur, de m’avoir permis de prendre tous ces articles chez Flannels'


And, is there a crime one can get away with if your excuse was, God told me to do it?

Is that French for Allahu Ahkbar?

Tyson Fury used to do that, not sure if he still does. To his credit, even though he was a preacher I don't think Foreman did. After he stopped Moorer he dropped to his knees and looked up, but I"m not sure he thanked Jesus or even God for that matter.

How was Holyfield on that? I know he's a religious guy and got psyched up listening to gospel music. Can't remember now if he thanked Hey Zeus after fights.

He did. In interviews after he retired also.

[2520386]

To be fair, I think he meant the credit for his talent and achievements should ultimately go to God. Rather than God intervened to help Arsenal win.

Yeah, ive always taken it as an act of humility, not a person invoking divine intervention. A lot of athletes thank their mother at times of personal success as well.

And if she is deceased, they think she's still watching the fight/game from heaven (never hell).

Sat in gods man cave damning Adam Smith to hell.

Murder

Christians and Muslims kill because God told them to all the time. They don't frequently get away with it, but every now and again they get a whole Country to go along with it and everybody is like "Yeah...God wants to kill all those people...as a group" and they call it War.

Im glad i am agnostic

[gilgamesh]

I would say I believe in God personally. I just don't think any Religion on Earth represents God. They all represent Men and their quest for control and power.

God needs no such thing.

Interesting Gilg. You believe in God. Tell me more of your belief in god, but who in your thoughts is god?

I am he as you are he as you are me as we are all together. God doesn't have a name at least not one I've heard. God is a Force that is beyond our full understanding.

But Wars and stuff like that. God's not on anybody's side in those conflicts. That's all us. Fighting amongst ourselves instead of finding a better way forward.

Anyone seen the video of the priest that was killed by the cross during the livestream of his mass? Talk about bad luck.

Isn't God's name err 'God' ?

[gilgamesh]

God is an Idea more than a Name.

I can relate to people thanking their parents because they somehow contributed to your creation and upbringing. It's something entirely different.

So you say Gilg, in war god isn't on anyone side. Are you staying, god sits on the fence? You answer is obviously going to create another question.

[gilgamesh]

God gave us life and a World that provides for us. What we do with it is on us. He's left us to our own devices. There is no Death in Service of God. Merely misguided people who believe that to be the case.

[Boxerbeetle]

If there is a God (which I very much doubt, but who knows), he clearly does not give a solitary toss about this planet or its inhabitants. Can’t blame him either, whole universe to oversee, tough gig.

Yeah that was crazy, hell of a thud when it landed on his head. Was like something out of The Omen films.

[Booster McCrane]

How crazy would it be if someone were to say "I would like to thank my saviour, Baphomet"?

Obviously sad because it was real but the situation of it happening is so ridiculous that it screams opening or ending scene to a comedy. Obviously I wonder what the priest did to incur gods wrath in such a symbolic way.

Come on, God has to be a sick bastard or a sadomasochist if he does indeed get involved in human affairs, of which I agree with Gil that he does not.

Have you ever heard of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake? If God exists and does get involved in human affairs he is indeed like I described him above. The earthquake took place on November 1st, Feast Of All Saints Day, when the majority of people were at church praying to God for people who have passed on. It's estimated somewhere between 30 to 40 thousand people died because the churches and surrounding buildings collapsed on them. Had they not been in church a lot less people would have died. How can anyone think a loving God that would allow that?

On the contrary, the gods back in the day were mostly pretty dangerous fuckers. They loved the ol human sacrifice. Thrived on it indeed. This sounds right up their street.
