I'm not an atheist so I'm fine with that but I thought it could be a little disheartening for an outspoken agnostic Rogan to have majority of the fighters he interviewed after their wins last night thanking Jesus Christ instead of answering his first question..
Like many of us atheists, I really dont think Joe gives a shit.
I'd like to give a shoutout to Jesus for this thread. It's all because of his glory.
Because we put Jesus first. Even before Joes first question :-)
Surprised Bisping didn't thank Jesus.
It seems like the proportion of fighters who are devout enough to believe their wins are due to God/Jesus is vastly higher than the general population.
Jason Manly - Because we put Jesus first. Even before Joes first question :-)Pretty rude to Joe, no? Or any interviewer for that matter

Joe doesn't care what these guys believe in. Not disheartening at all the moment is about the fighter. Also you called Joe an atheist first, then wrote he is an agnostic. Big difference, for the record which is he?
I bet a preacher would never lose a mma match
Stern - I bet a preacher would never lose a mma matchWell we know the preachers daughter would lose.

Gods got more important shit to worry about
Politically Incorrect -Thanks for making it clead.Fighting a fucking juiced up monster is insane, not being religious. Just to be clead.

rexthedog -I didn't realise it was all about Joe.Jason Manly - Because we put Jesus first. Even before Joes first question :-)Pretty rude to Joe, no? Or any interviewer for that matter

bruised -This.Politically Incorrect -Thanks for making it clead.Fighting a fucking juiced up monster is insane, not being religious. Just to be clead.

Politically Incorrect -I think it's more likely the poor background thing.I don't think Joe cares. He actually practicea what he preaches. He seema like a pretty tolerant guy.
Versus the loud minority of atheists on Facebook that brag about being atheist all day and preach love and tolerance and then comment on 1 like=1 prayer posts: "OMG KEEP UR GOD TO YOURSELF IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR HOME U CRO MAGNONS"
I think fighters believe in God at a higher rate because having a higher power to pull strength from can keep you going even when what you're doing is fucking insane.

It is so weird. I know atheists in real life that understand why fighters thank God. Are most Internet atheist just stupid? When a fighter thanks God he is practicing humility. He is saying that without the inner peace of his God he could not make it through the rigorous training. He is thanking God for his health. He is thanking God for his life. He is pronouncing the glory of God in what should be his own glorious moment. He is reminding himself and others that at this most amazing moment in his life that he realizes that he is nothing without God.
Have you ever seen a fighter thank a mother or a coach? Did that mother or coach enter his body and force the win? No he won with his own skill, strength and determination. He is saying he could not be where he is at without his mother and coaches.

An individual with a PERSONAL belief has no influence on me, but when religious ideas promote ignorance, bigotry, classism, fascism, and totalitarianism, I will speak my mind.
I personally thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

touch -Jesus Christ has as much to do with the outcome of a mma bout as I Do. It be nice to see a fighter who doesn't graciously suck the holy fathers dick every time puts that mic up.I'm not an atheist so I'm fine with that but I thought it could be a little disheartening for an outspoken agnostic Rogan to have majority of the fighters he interviewed after their wins last night thanking Jesus Christ instead of answering his first question..
