All the best athletes in the world today have strong faith in God.
Curry
Messi
Neymar
Djokovic
Bolt
Tom Brady
And that's just to name a very few of the best today.
Going back in time you got guys like Muhamed Ali and Maradona.
My question is does being a man of faith and having string belief in God make you better at your craft?
Is it fair that these guys are using the power of God to beat their opponents??

>All the best athletes in the world today have strong faith in God.
Because most people worldwide believe in God.
I believe in God and I shitpost on 4chan
Im reeeeeaaaally good at it though...
>>67533808
It's fair when God does it.
>>67533808
PED's should be banned
Performance Enhancing Deities
they're insulting themselves for pretending that they didn't get to that point on their own merit, and they're insulting god for pretending that he gives a shit about grown men playing kid's games.
>>67533808
religious people go do sports and chase their ''dreams''
atheists go in STEM and further humanity
>>67534323
God is in everything though
And it isn't insulting to yourself to thank God for anything. We didn't give birth to ourself. We didn't choose how we would be born
>>67534362
god isn't in anything, because he doesn't exist, you dumb fucker.
>>67534416
Wow, that's pretty cool that you know that for a fact. Where did you learn the secrets of the universe?
>>67534451
shut the fuck up catholshit. If god is every where and everything why doesnt he give a shit to help the suffering people of africa or anywhere else? Instead he would rather use his efforts helping 1st world countries excel at sports.
Nice """""god"""" you have there
>>67533808
>God
lol it's actually satan fool. these guys owe their success to satan. the hand signs they do is for satan.
>t; god isn't too interested in 666 owl eye symbology
>666
>hey guise i just scored a 3 pointer in baseball
666
>God
lol No, not God. The "6 god".
t; the '6 god' is saturn aka satan
>spot the 6's
>spot the 666
t; the numerological sum of the Population number (which is too precise to be accurate) just happens to sum out to ... guess.... which number? You can choose a number from 1-10, what do you think it is?
>>67534851
>>67534647
I'm not even Catholic though...what made you think that? That's cool that you understand God better than anyone I guess
Have fun being an angsty teenager

I've actually noticed this too...but I was hoping that at least in Curry's case it wasn't intentional
>>67534803
Looks more like someone was putting "God" in quotes but typo'd
God is totally involved in everything. He decides who is going to win each game and influences events accordingly. He decides whether or not each shot falls.
He also makes shit like this happen:
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/father-girl-injured-nebraska-carnival-ride-she-was-tortured-n570821
I believe in God, and I believe he is a scary, evil dude that I do not want to cross under any circumstances. Praise be to Him.
And if there's no God and shit is just random, at least I erred on the side of caution. Just sayin'.
>>67533808
>thanks God for his talent and skills
Millions hungry everyday
Millions getting killed
Etc etc etc
Smfh Desoooo
Celebrities, athletes, and musicians use God to build their brand. This is not a fucking hard concept.
If saying "I love God" or doing some religious mannerisms could make you make millions more per year, would you do it? Duh.

Sorry Pascal but your wager is bullshit

How does athletes thanking God make them more money?
I see where you're coming from and it might be true in rare cases but you're basically saying that nobody is genuinely religious which is a lie. We live in the age of the edgy fedora for the most part, they're not really gaining anything for their image by doing this
>>67536909
Why's that?
>>67533808
>Curry
>Brady
>God giving one iota of a shit about any individual person ever
whew whew whew
>>67535943
This, it's literally idolatry. If only there was a thunderer God and he could ice these cunts when they run off their arrogant mouths.
>>67536941
It makes them more money because people who otherwise wouldn't care about them now do because religion means more than anything to a lot of people.
I never said nobody is genuinely religious. All I'm saying is regardless of it is genuine or not, a lot of media is pre-planned. To the wardrobe, mannerisms, speeches, and other exposure - the entertainment industry is all calculated for maximizing $. It's called an industry for a reason.
>>67536941
>How does athletes thanking God make them more money?
Because Christians are maximum on the spergometer and literally throw money at anything that uncritically reinforces their beliefs and allows them to continue not having to think.
>>67537098
I tell you what, if there is a God. He most likely doesn't like the rich that spend like idiots while half the world starves.
>>67537139
You are correct, which makes it even worse because they spend all this time and effort believing in something that they don't actually believe in.
>>67537169
Exactly. They praise God almighty and thank him for everything hes given them. And then they do the opposite of everything God would stand for.
Shit kills me.
>>67537169
>>67537534
Can you guys name me one owner in American sports who has come out as Christian and/or said that a player's religion had anything to do with signing a player?
Sounds like you guys are just making assumptions because you're biased and under the false impression that the church still has any power in today's world
>>67537795
I never claimed that dude.
It's the politically correct thing to do. When Arian Foster came out as an athiest the media chewed him out.
>>67535943
The hungry children dying and suffering are the wicked satanists getting reincarnated. It's the perfect plan.
>>67533808
didn't Canelo Alvarez (Catholic) beat Amir Khan (Muslim) recently?
>>67533808
I can see how faith might help an athlete perform better, at least in terms of motivation.
But of course, with the right motivation, any individual can do great things.
>>67533808
All successful people believe in God. Faith is what makes them great
