Is combat sports wrong in your opinion?

Maybe not the holiest of things in the world, but a sin? Someone would have to have a damn good point to convince me of that.

would buddah or Jesus like MMA?

It's a gift, not everyone has the ability to compete in MMA. If Chuck Liddell didn't fight, wouldn't he be not using the full potential of his God given talents? Fighting predates human existance, humanity just makes it as an organized sport" I love that quote from Eddie Goldman.

I can' honestly say I can love someone and pound their face in, but living the conceqences of killing a man in the ring would be too much to bear. I don't see it as any different as a death in football, only difference being you're the sole reason he's dead. It's a mutual agreement, accept the conceqences for your actions.

wut about porn stars? are they rationalized in what they do? wut about drug dealers?

Where's the competitive nature in smoking weed and watching porn all day?

True, if I'm good at getting away with murder doesn't mean I should keep trying.

a street fight, sinful. You're pride becomes more important than turning the other cheek. A cage fight? Could be argued both ways. Greed and fame is why alot of people fight, but not everybody.

when jesus is said to say "turn the other cheek" he's talking about a hip throw (koshi nage) not letting some one punch you in the face. that 'thou shalt not kill' stuff is only referring to people who share your narrowly defined dogma. those 'people' with slightly differing points of view don't really have souls, so taking their stuff, lands and lives is just fine.

by turn the other cheek I meant accept the insults or things that this person is throwing at you to ultimately make you want to strike him.

NOT liking MMA is a sin

Self pwnage!

:yes:

sorry bro but thats the dumbest thing i ever herd. We are not killing each other. MMA is for the warriors in a controlled zone.

Any body that says contact sports are sins are fucking pussies that feel bad for themselves. And thats a fact man, I meen i hate basketball but i wouldnt go as far as it being a sin.

People are placed on this earth for a reason and if you concentrate on the things you suck at you will never go anywhere, and then wont be good at anything. if you concentrate on the things your good at, then you will actually go somewhere in life.

I believe im born to fight. I bet your ment to be a doctor or lawyer, so focus on that man. I dont think we should judge somthing that we are not ment to do, so i wont judge basketball man.

false, you were meant to be a spelling bee champion.

we don't have a purpose, we just exist.

i think you're lacking an education, but that's just me.

having self-confidence has nothing to with having a purpose. people will do what they want, how they justify it with intangible ideas such as, "it's my purpose," is there prerogative. i'm just stating that individual purpose has not been set out by some magical higher power; it's merely what we want to do.

Don't waste your gift sam...I'll pray for you.

My education has nothing to do with this man

And yes self confidence does involve having a purpose IMHO. You do somthing good, and, if you dont follow it up cause you think you will suck in the future... well you just threw somthing awesome for somthing to happen

but every person chooses what their personal purpose is... your purpose is to do what you like to do. Its that simple. I like to choke people, that doesn't mean its my purpose even if im good at it. But if doing that makes me happy and fulfilled then thats what im going to do and ill be happy.

hey, choking people is my special purpose, find your own.

you make no sense. you sound like charlie from it's always sunny in philadelphia.

i think you've completely misconstrued the entire argument of purpose in this thread. we're talking about the possibility that a celestial being is controlling our lives and giving us a purpose and destiny to fulfill. in my opinion, it's pretty pathetic to think your own desires and ability to fulfill such desires are derived from some invisible man watching us from the sky. we do what we want, a "purpose" is not set out for us.

OH..theres so much knowledge from you guys. Im basking in your knowledge i dont know if i can take it.

I like kicking them first, then punching them, then getting into a dominate position then choking them. However...this is not my purpose, only my pleasure. If what im best at is my purpose, i'd just stay home all day and jack off 5 times and get high.

man... you do not get life... I have been through so much shit in my life, things you cant imagine. I have my beliefs, you have yours, it helps me get through life easier, i try and believe there is a god because, you have someone to talk to when your all beaten up and alone. sounds stupid but it makes me feel better. im not going to tell you that there is or isnt a god. Believing there is a god makes you feel better, thats why i believe there is a god.

Great fighters believe there is a god so they think they have more strength and makes them feel good and helps them win fights because they believe there is a god

It sounds you got handed everything you got your entire life. If you went through shit like me or lots of other people... youd believe in him.

:stfu:you clearly have no business writing in this forum.

you can't justify a belief in god because you went through some "shit" :gojerkit:

if feeling good is your reason to believe in god, go for it. but don't argue the existence of god based on feelings.

I honestly think there is one... i dno why, i just have a feeling there is one

okay, that's great. but don't come to the spirituality forum and attack atheists because they don't believe in god. bring some more logic and reasoning instead of justifying it with your "feelings"
