Newb, all religions are based on shit that people have pulled out of their ass. ALL OF THEM. All I understand of what you’re saying is that you’re down to break your religions rules to hurt yourself [smoking,drinking, whatever…] but you won’t break a rule to help yourself get ahead in life? Wait, You were right, I don’t understand. Good luck to you in whatever you decide, but you’re wasting a gift. And no matter who “gave” it to you, it’s there for you to use to it’s fullest extent. Not doing so would be the real sin.
Yes you don’t understand religion, its a shame most who don’t seem to be angry people also-not saying you are-
He doesn’t need to prove anything, look at his videos for proof. I don’t see him wasting any gift, he is doing what he enjoys to do simple as that. If someone is amazing at designing weapons that kill people should he do it even if he hated it? This is silly ethical questions that have no answer. He is enjoying what he does, I see no reason why he should stop or alter that.
Also newb you said you stopped smoking does that mean weed too? Hah why would you stop smoking weed?
I understand religion fine. Better than most actually. I don’t understand why one would follow certain rules but not others and use their religion as the reason they aren’t pursuing what they say they want to pursue. Not trying single you out Newb, your strength is impressive anyway you slice it.

your lucky you dont understand, or at least see it, the way I do.
it is really not something to be desired. I dont hang out with friends on saturday or friday night which isnt fun at all, I dont lift on saturday, dont buy things on saturday, dont do allot of things.
Im not gonna try and tell you my religion is right and your wrong etc. Because thats just dumb for me to say. But to give you a better idea of my religion Il tell you some things about it.
I have never celebrated
a single birthday
christmas
halloween
easter
or any of the other holidays normal people do
I dont eat pork
I dont shelfish, shrimp, crab, duck and allot of other things
have never and will never get a tattoo
these are all things I would like to do but dont, and I view them as strongly as I do not lifing on saturday. my religion limits me to more things than just powerlifting meets.
it isnt something I picked, you only hear me complain about powerlifting because Im here because of powerlifting so I talk about it.
If I can deal with these things while knowing how stupid they sound the people readint this log should at least be able to deal with not giving me crap for not lifting on saturday.
Anyway, the whole things pretty pathedic to be honest. Not something I like to talk about for obvious reasons.
if anyone is wondering what kind of religion that this is, my grandfather aboiut 40 years ago was a minister for the world wide church of god. Got infront of thousands of people to preach. He iis a very hard headed individual. the church started changing their beliefs and him and a group of other people left because they felt strongly about their beliefs. this has now turned into almost a cult of a few people with quite radical beliefs on religion. They believe that this small church of like 15 people is the only people who truly know the truth etc and end of days type shit. I grew up believeing this, this isnt a normal feel good religion.
When I said I ws deeply disturbed about religion earlier I wasnt kidding.
