    ...what the fuck did I just read? Why should religious beliefs make a difference to athletic ability?

    Assuming this is a troll post unless you come out with a damn good explanation, OP.

    Neither.

    After the gun sounds off the start of the race, the religious people are still praying they cross the finish line first, and the atheists are pondering whether the finish line exists or not.

      No the atheists would believe it existed because they could see it with their own eyes.

      They still wouldn't finish though, because they'd be gathered around the praying religious people confronting them with all the 'clever contradictions' they'd thought of to challenge their beliefs and waiting for the religious people to agree how "ridiculous" their ideas were, and how grateful they are for the delivery of logic and rationality by the ever-humble atheists.

      I'm stereotyping of course.

        Sorry I assumed it's a long distance race,and that they couldn't see the finish line.
        I guess the agnostics would be left pondering.

        Your scenario is fairly accurate though

    I really don't see what the whole big deal is with people being so concerned with atheists and 'religious' people. Neither is better or worse. Let people believe what they wanna believe, it doesn't matter.

        It doesn't have anything to do with athletics. I'm just saying that it seems like people are always bringing up atheists and religious people all the time.

    Really terrible question, I can't believe I'm even commenting in this. You could've turned this into an amusing debate but instead you asked the most irrelevant question.

    But let me put it in a nutshell, theists believe in fairy tales and mythologies, they're clinically insane, the end.

    Hmm... Well, most likely they'll get a scholarship if they play good sports.

    Ok believing or not believing is not going to make you better at sports. However I know in some religions they have a strict diet. Such as the Seven Day evenness. Which I am not part of case anyone asks. So I would say possibly some religious people are more athletic.

    It is a contradiction.
    Religious people cannot verse atheists, as they (religos) do not have a leg to stand on.
    Do I win? :)

      In European sports maybe, but our soldiers are the best when it comes to dessert conditions. We are fighters, not runners.

        Was that a typo or did you actually mean sweet pudding conditions? I wish I was in a sweet pudding condition right now.

        Jews are most certainly not known as fighters...infact if i had to think of the one thing they suck most at, it would be fighting lol.
        The main stereotypes of the jewish are; "greedy with money" "tremendous Physical Cowardice" "big noses" and "terrible at sport"

          You obviously know nothing about the IDF. If you do your homework you'll find out that it were the Israelis who taught the Americans to fight terrorism. Naturally its easier to find athletes among 300 million people then 5 million. And yes, Americans are good at sports, at least the ones they invented, when you make any progress in soccer, let me know. Meanwhile you can read about Maccabi Tel-Aviv basketball club, sure they are not as good as the NBA, but then again, we don't have so many blacks that we enslaved in the past, and they are natural runners. And if you want to go by the stereotypes, you certainly stand true to the American stereotype intellectually, I wonder if you also weight 350 pounds?

    I did not expect to see a question about athletics when I read this. Most of the atheists I've met are sporty and/or more athletic and smarter then some of the religious people I've encountered, so I think the atheists would win.

    Religious belief does not influence the ability of someone to do athletics better or worse.

        Ironically, Parrish the troll is the only person to give a sensible answer to this.

            I never know with you. Sometimes you seem to cruise the periphery of trolldom but you never actually fully step inside. You're one of IIN's unquantifiables.
