Ok.

What's your point?

Even Zab Judah who is Jewish thanks Jesus Christ his lord and savior.

lol

Albert Einstein was jewish...whats your point???

He was an ethnic Jew. He wasn't a religious man at all and most likely an atheist or agnostic. "I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly.” "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."

He was also a socialist (read, "Why Socialism?" by Einstein).

Regardless, it doesn't matter if he was religious or not, as I was generally speaking. Of course there will be some people with very high IQ's that are extremely religious and on the flipside you'll find very poor, low IQ people that aren't religious.

Manny Pacquiao thanks God for his victories, so does Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins is Muslim I believe, Ali too. Not sure what Mosley is but he's either Christian or Buddhist because his wife. Juanma Marquez wears big ass crosses to the weigh in and so does Margarito.

How much do you think God helps all of them? And why haven't non-religious athletes picked up on this?

America, Mexico and Asia have high percentages of religious people.

Its that simple.

So does Africa. And South America.

He was also a socialist (read, "Why Socialism?" by Einstein).

"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views."

"I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangements of the books, but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God."

He was a Socialist, and the article Why Socialist? is the biggest load of garbage I've ever read. I gave it a shot because it says "Einstein" but its clear he's another drone when it comes to economic issues.

Ok.

What's your point?

Its no surprise to me that a 2x world champion found help through God.

Right so there u go. Thats ur answer.

Top european athletes and sportsman tend not to be religious and therefore dont thank God after every win.

Im sure their belief in God helps them in many ways, but to suggest that God is helping them do better in sports in unfounded. Its more to do with there cultural background.

How about the 8 - 10 people that are living in Antarctica, are they religious too?

The only people who 'live' in Antartica are researchers, who stay there for months at a time to conduct their studies.

wtf has this got to do with sports?

Italy who won the World Cup in 2006 has the highest percentage of Catholics in the world. 98% or something like that. Joe Calzaghe is from Europe and he is religious.

Sweden, England, Norway, Denmark...those countries are all atheists, and they all suck at the elite level of sports.



Look at this pic of Joe C fighting the good fight: punching atheism in the face!!!!!
