Snyder

[peanut]

Snyder’s now a six-time world-level champ (with 11 total world-level medals). Fantastic. He’s now top three is US history with JB and Smith.

And he’s only 30. He’s now got a chance to equal or surpass JB’s seven golds.

Does he have a touch of schizophrenia?  Saying that "God has taught me new techniques" is what you'd hear from patients in a mental hospital.

A touch of something...

[dragit]

A touch of greatness.  Give the man his due.

You might be taking that a little too literal…

How?

"God has taught me new techniques" sounds pretty straight forward...

[JMill]

There’s no doubt God gave Snyder a QV to teach him something new before this Worlds… probably didn’t charge him $160, either.

if you're a Christian, you know everything comes from the lord and all glory is reserved for God. Twist it however you feel, but know it is not unique to Snyder. Everything I have is only because of the grace of God.

I guess that's between them. I'm not perfect and I certainly don't want the worst moments in my life being exposed and discussed on social media. I'm glad I'm not the man I was in my 20's.

Its not just between them. He sold camps and built a brand around being a Christian role model. You dont get to do that, make the mistake he did and pretend it didnt happen.

I wouldnt want my mistakes broadcast either but I didnt build a brand around being a devout Christian and nothing ive ever done is even close to paying to cheat on my wife on mother's day weekend.

 

Hell of a wrestler but he can miss me with the Christian schtick. Forever.

God let's us have the world we create, but he made it clear where he stands on those issues and how he will deal with those sins.

Let me when you find the perfect Christian. Apparently you would be ok if he did those as a non believer.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt here I’m sure what he’s saying is that God has surrounded him with people and opportunities that allowed him to learn more techniques and things. I haven’t watched the clip but was it right after the match or something? People tend to speak poorly in those moments. If he actually thought God taught him new techniques then yea…

There a huge gap from perfect to scumbag. What Snyder did falls under scumbag. I wouldnt be ok with it no matter who did it but that doesn't make him any less of a hypocrite. You should have your house in some kind of order before you start walking around spouting off about being a godly man. We all sin but to pretend some aren't greater than others is disingenuous and obnoxious.

Do you think anyone knowing about your worst deeds and decisions would draw a different conclusion about you? Are you even a Christian?

I dont understand your first question. do I think if people knew my worst sins theyd think my sins are as bad Snyders? No I dont think they would, because they aren't. Ive never done anything to that level.

I believe in God but no I am not Christian.

It’s a trick question homie…you can’t determine whether they do or don’t view your sins as bad as his because if you don’t believe in God then you don’t have any basis for a moral standard besides your own. You’re either just giving your opinion or borrowing from the Christian faith you denounce…

If you aren't a Christian why are you judging him against a standard you reject? He attempted to engage in a consensual exchange of services for money. What's so bad about that? If you think he was immortal but rejected the standard of morality maybe it's you who is the hypocrite?

You said it better than I could.
