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.

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).

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

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.

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?
