Most overtly religious NCAA wrestler?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Meaning wearing gear about JESUS, GOD, etc....praising God, giving All Glory to God, etc in post match speeches.  Big social media presence re religion.

My winner is Aaron Brooks, but other nominees Alex Marinelli, David Carr, Wyatt Hendrickson, Greg Kerkvliet, Kyle Snyder...who else am I missing?

Well this starts off with an ice cream truck, a chef, and a piece of Pluto. The guys that owned the ice cream truck stole the piece of Pluto from the pastry chef who obtained it from the flying elephant. The flying elephant got it from a sumo wrestler who obtained it in the sumo championship on Saturn.

They went to Saturn because Jupiter was full of mutant beavcoons. The beavcoons were from Mars where the bubbly bubbles, an ancient gang that was buried in Camelot lived.

The bubbly bubbles came back after the clowns resurrected him in an ancient burial spell of magicalness.

Then the corndog from Venus lead an attack of canoes onto the Russians who responded by taking away McDonalds from China. Since China didn’t have anymore McDonalds they decided to buy a Pizza hut.

The Pizza hut was then stolen by a talking elephant from India

The elephant was The Guru’s and he lived at the Ashram in Los Angeles.

The elephant had a pig friend who taught math. The pig exploded one day and left the whole world wondering.

Since the pig exploded the King pig blamed the giants.

Since the giants hated being blamed they lead an attack on the King and since they were of course much bigger they were victorious.

After the giants took control of Greenland they started fighting the Vikings from Iceland.

The opponents were equally matched so they ended up destroying each other and they became extinct.

Then the gorillas stole Honda Trail 70’s from Tony Soprano the lead gangster from Italy.
Tony Soprano actually got the Hondas’ from India anyhow back to the gorillas.

The gorillas started causing a ruckus in The Big Apple, actually a big apple, where they ran over Billy Joe and Eileen.

Since the football players were chasing them the gorillas hopped into the giant peach with James who was escaping his evil parents.

The wrestler who most epitomizes modern American Christianity?

No contest.

AJ Ferrari, hands down.

It’s between David Carr and Aaron Brooks, and it’s a tough one.

Brooks literally called out Muhammad as a false prophet after winning one year. But Carr started wearing those “100% Jesus” headbands that look like they were made as a 3rd grade art class assignment.

I can’t choose.

Pretty tough group of wrestlers there.  Maybe they are on to something.  I'm not an advocate for pushing religion and I do think it is overboard sometimes, but you can't argue with their success.

Carr seems truly brainwashed.

For there to be a causal relationship between what they believe and the results, wouldn't

Each individual have to know what he believes ... like clearly,

Each individual have to know how this set tenets apply to winning wrestling matches,

And

"They" all have to believe the same thing and how it applies to winning?

I mean if they just agree that there is a higher power and not on the specifics of theology, then the "Christian" distinction is meaningless.

Well as of recent, you could add the other Kyle…Kyle Dake.

Nope, can’t argue about their success but we can certainly argue about them being overboard most of the time.

As I understand Jesus’s message, making a spectacle of your beliefs can be consistent with spiritual poverty. Some of those with the deepest faiths may not say much about their faith at all.

As Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew:

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

Clearly Matthew didn't understand how important it would eventually be to sell "JESUS TRAINED" t shirts

And here I thought I learned that actively spreading the word was good.

Just because you are vocal doesn’t mean you are not fake. I work with 2 religious women and 1 acts like Brooks and Carr and the other is an older lady who says nothing. The older lady attends church a few times a week, donates her time at a homeless shelter and food shelf. The younger lady misses church all the time, whores around with different men all the time and won’t give someone a ride home 1 time who lives in her neighborhood. Actions speak a hell of a lot more than words and I doubt guys like Carr, Brooks, Dake or Snyder would help someone random roadside not in their cult.

You doubt it why???  Because of those two women?   Wow.

Btw how would they know if it’s someone in their cult before they pulled over to help ???  You’re full of $hit

Anyone remember when Greg Kerkvliet won big tens and said it didn’t matter bc god?! I forget the exact wording but that one was for sure weird.

Correct, these two women, plus the millions of others who claim to speak the word of god and in the same breath, show their hypocrisy and break hundreds of “gods” rules.  Don’t commit murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t have premarital sags, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet, blah blah blah.  See the problem here?

I am known as a doubter. Most all religions & the dogma. Still waiting for some actuall written records about Jesus when he supposedly lived.

That said, religion can help folks when they need something to lean on. Belief is a powerful tool for many with hope & peace.

Do object to the types who wear it on their sleeve & get pissed when anyone questions or comments.

Current kerfluffel with Snyder is on point. Look at  the video & what he solicited & weight that aginst his public religious stuff.

Others are similar in public displays while not having anything like soliciting whores that we know of. Too many like Jim Bakker and so many who make money on the God Train.

If what you "believe" is truth it will eventually come out. If not, that probably will also. As for me I prefer the truth, no matter the source. I don't like all those who "know the truth" telling me lies to try & convince me they are right. I am most familiar with one group I post on from time to time, always checked to be accurate in what I write even if it rankles some. Some personal experience & other from written/recorded records.

So, credit your diety quietly.

If you have faith, fine. Live it & if you slip, live it as you believe & keep it between you & your chosen diety.

If you are Jesus Trained and such & are Loud & Proud about it - don't whine when you screw up & it gets out. Too many dirty & murderous skeletons in most Organized religions that are lied about & denied when they are outed. Be loud about the belief & don't be surprised when others go after you when you screw up & it is made public.

Keep your religion to yourself. Whatever diety you follow, for whatever reason doesn't belong in your Sport. Not openly. Faith is fine, keep it yours. Jesus & others may be great when you win but somehow aren't credited when your Azz is handed to you. I seriously doubt any diety gives a tinkers damn whether you score a touchdown, get a pin or eat bagels for snacks.

Credit your coaches, training partners, whatever & be secure in your belief without the public histrionics.

Nice sample size.  Two is a lot.

Dear wrestlers, only tell us what we want to hear. Not what you want to say.  
 

Everyone on here complaining about the wrestlers is doing exactly what the wrestlers are doing.  The hypocrisy is priceless.
