Boxing has its dangers, MMA/UFC is dangerous.

SLW, did you read my post in your other thread on this?

boxing isn't for everyone... some people are just born to be fans.

Religion is extremely divisive, I hate it.

I often find it funny how boxers almost always thank God after a fight for giving them the strength to almost kill another man.

I agree, it is funny if you think about it.

But to the guy who started the thread... I understand what your trying to say but life is full of choices and getting into a ring is a choice that boxers make and they know the risk in what they choose to do. I'm sure there are many boxers out there who mulled over and prayed to GOD for the answer to the same questions you had- "Should I do this? Is this for me?" and I'm sure they all came to same conclusion (cuz they obviously got into the ring)- GOD said to them go for it. So I don't think it's a matter of the violence being bad and not "good in God's eyes" the issue, it's just that boxing, like any other sport either as a participant or fan, isn't for everybody.

But please let's not make boxing or any other sport a topic of "is it a sin or not?" It's a sport. It isn't church. Let's just enjoy it and any other sport, for what it is.

Great post. I wonder how Dmitriy Salita and his rabbai look at the issues you presented. Obviously they ******* and Christianity are 2 different relligions but have similar fundamentals when it comes to morality ect ect. So you still go to fsu/ live in tallahassee?

religion is only divisive when people interpret it incorrectly, or exploit it, like anything


why is it funny? they believe in god
