Way to show your ignorance. According to certain branches of the Jewish religion, it is actually disrespectful to write out the word G-d. According to my beliefs, I am showing G-d true respect by following the teachings I learned. I'm not knocking you for your beliefs, so why knock me for following mine? Your comment shows an extreme lack of class and if my decision to use a "dash" when I spell out the word "G-d" is enough to make you want to stop reading the site, then I think we can make do without someone such as yourself.

If so, how could you have an issue with someone who is atheist or agnostic? They are entitled to their beliefs just as much as you or I. From this point forward, you need to keep religion out of this thread. Micah, are you a U.S. citizen? If so, how could you have an issue with someone who is atheist or agnostic?

Maybe you should do some research on the Jewish religion and its practices before you open your mouth? At no point did I say I added a dash in reference to G-d because I perceive it to be a profanity. I find both your statement and Micah's to be pretty ignorant. Furthermore, I think it's immature for both of you to be trying to make an issue of such a minor point. Now, is there anyone else out there who'd like to persecute me for my religious beliefs?

I would also say, that many unreligious people probably said, "Oh my God!" when they saw the situation of Kimbo slice being KO'd or the general level of their 401K accounts at this point in time. People often use it as a passionate exclamation, and a very unprofane one at that in a time when pretty much everyone uses profanity. On the situation of Frank Shamrock fighting Kimbo, it is now pretty clear that two factors were involved in selecting Petruzelli: 1. He should not have a very good chance of winning. Frank was too strong for Kimbo, and they knew it. 2. He should be as cheap as possible: If you are paying your pet thug $500,000, you don't have a lot in extra funds on paying his next "victim".

Look on the bright side, at least they capitalized the “G”. It’s pretty sad they won’t even spell the word out when quoting someone else. I used to like this site, but if their “religious beliefs” are to be disrespectful towards God, then no, I don’t respect them at all and I’m done with this site.

It would have been fun watching Frank fight him. It would have gone longer than 14 seconds since Frank would have played with him and done some of his ring antics before finishing him.
