His words were hateful and divisive. He seems to be doing religion wrong; as are all of those who jumped in to agree.
And it's interesting that he only calls me out because I call him out.
All things considered I'm usually pretty tame on here, but of course he doesn't see that because he cherry picks everything.
Read the actual scriptures and not man’s interpretation. I dunno what else to say to that.
Can you even read or do you get too upset when anyone challenges you? I didn't ask or care who you thought should win. Not once. I was commenting on your inability to call out and make excuses for Starocci being classless. That is it. And by the way, I defended Brooks so I have the ability to see past who someone wrestles for.
That’s such an ignorant view. Most religions are incompatible. You can’t believe Islam and Christianity. Both believe the other are destined for judgment.
If the Bible is accurate, God is real, and Jesus is Gods son, sent to the world to take punishment for our sins, nothing could be more loving than what Aaron said. To not share that is the opposite of love from a biblical world view.
To view this differently is to not understand what scripture teaches. God is about love. That is why he sent his son, there is no other way to the father than through Jesus. That is what Aaron said. That is what the New Testament screams. Over and over and over and over. No other way. Without faith in Jesus, from a Christian biblical worldview, you will be judged and found guilty.
You can believe your religion is the one true one without being hateful and divisive, and without mocking the other. If Christianity is about love, then Brooks is doing it wrong, as his words were spiteful, not loving.
There was nothing spiteful in what he said.
you guys take your religion crap someplace else or i will riddle this thread with a bunch of gds over and over
I own a Quran. And have read it. I have studied with Muslims, and I have dozens of quotes from the Quran to back up what I say. But I'm not doing it on this wrestling board.
Wow, there wasn't a hateful word. In truth, he didn't even call Muhammad a false prophet. But that takes actually listening to what he said without overreacting.
I wasn’t the one who brought religion in.
It’s so ironic that it’s hateful to say what Aaron said, a fundamental teaching of Christian faith. If you don’t unabashedly accept and do your best to not affirm every religion you’re hateful.
Again, its somehow loving to not share news that Christians believe will save someone’s soul.
Sounds like those who get upset about doctors telling them to lose weight, as fat shaming. Support and kindness in the absence of truth is not love.
Count me as a HUGE Aaron Brooks fan moving forward. Star Kerk and the rest of the crew I hope flounder, but I must give PSU credit they’ve turned out some awesome young men (Taylor is another that comes to mind). Hate their program still.

That not even bringing in the Hadeefs which are considered sacred texts.
Can’t stand Penn state but when he came out to Michael Meyers theme music then committed murder on labs… that was sic. Then he acts like a fool on Twitter :/ that wore off quick
Move the religious discussion over to Off-Topic, or this thread is getting locked.
I agree with keeping politics and religion out of wrestling 1000%….and in my best 10 year old voice I’d like to add, “Penn State started it.”
Paris was #1 in winning %, total matches, total wins, wins vs. all-americans, bonus wins, falls & overall dominance.
The only category he wasn’t #1 in was bonus %, where he was #5- Alirez was #1 there.
But to you point starrocci prob won the sportsmanship category - bahaha!
Wasn’t Starocci also undefeated? Because then winning % would be the same. It’s like batting average, if I have 502 plate appearances I’m eligible for the title. If you have 602 and the same average we would be tied.
I personally believe Paris is a solid choice and deserves it btw.
My bad for starting it, I think it's fair to criticize him for it but clearly can't be discussed on the wrestling board without going off the rails.
I can respect that, but the topic came up because a wrestler made mention of his religion while coming after another religion. It’s at least wrestling tangential.
I do think Parris was the right choice. I do think C Star has at least some room to have a gripe about the results. Really Alirez probably does too.
It's hard to argue against Parris. Whatever the case, really a bad look for a candidate who didn't receive the award to be snarky about it on Twitter. Just extremely immature behavior, and probably some pretty good evidence that the proper candidate was selected.
I ran into an old schoolmate of his this week at the gym. He mentioned he was a tireless worker, had a great family but never really had a lot. There were also people who expressed doubt about his future success at PSU. I'm betting that played a part in his attitude or strategy. However I don't like the look at me social media silliness but I get these days people make money from this strategy.
Christianity on this board is attacked daily with the non stop JFC, GD, comments. Somehow it has became mainstream and acceptable to blasphemy Christainity but taboo to say anything bad about Islam.
That's all I'll say about that.
Telling the Muslim world that they follow a false god is complimentary?
Yeah, l mean that one political party is trying to impose their religion on the rest of us and then will be open about racially profiling the other religion because the 9/11 Terrorists look like that is proof Christianity is treated unfairly.
So much nonsense in this post.🤦🏻♂️
No. But it’s stupid. The Christian, Muslim, and Hebrew/Jewish God is all the same being.
Let me know when your places of worship get wiretapped en masse.
Christian America playing victim is sad. You guys get more leeway than anyone. If any other group tried to justify their political agenda with “my religious book says”, none of you would stand for it and someone would get shot.
To try and get this back on track, anyone know what the pfp rankings were for Jesus and Muhammad coming out of high school and what their h2h record was after? Also, did either wrestle an agnostic, atheist, or indigenous shaman in college, and who won if so. Finally, did any of them win the Hodge? I'll hang up and listen now.
This is a big part of what makes me think there's no way God is real, or else God is far too cruel and vindictive for my taste. Create three separate cults to adore and worship him then have them kill each other in His name Hunger Games style for thousands of years for his amusement? No thanks, Jeff.
No h2h. Mohammed came 800 years after Jesus. Jesus was coaching Oklahoma A&M by then.
My bad, I thought they both wrestled forever. But I guess that was before covid, so maybe not.
Jesus took a grey shirt and then a red shirt an then got an extra year for the locust infestation, but 7 years was as long as he had until he ran out of eligibility.
Edit: To get this back on topic, Jesus won 5 Hodges because of the Locust year (even though he had to share one with Daton Fix) and Mohammed only 2, so I think you have to consider Jesus better all time.
Our creator gave us free will. We can choose to be righteous - or we can choose to be jackasses. Don't blame God.
Based on how it usually plays out in the real world (i.e., most people think they are righteous), I don't see a distinction between your 2 choices, but that's just me.
Had hoped my previous attempt at humor would lighten the self-righteous mood here, but I now see how stooopidly naive that was.
For the record, I'd have given Vito the Hodge, no matter what the rules say.
