Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
I love how otherwise open minded people are so [censored] close minded about religion. This guy was a [censored] refugee for christs sake. He is the american dream right now. Like it or not this guy has faith in a higher power, so [censored] what.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
I don't understand why someone should be "open-minded" about religion. This dude believes an invisible dude in the sky was watching over the shuffling of the deck. The superstitions and the crap he said at the table were just weird to the point of being creepy. He seems like a kind person, so I don't hate him, but I'm not going to say I don't think he's an idiot.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
[ QUOTE ]
At least I figured out why I run bad: God doesn't want me to win. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Seriously though, I have no beef with Jerry Yang or Daniel Negreanu or anyone else for believing in God. I just find it very self-aggrandizing when athletes or competitors in any venture thank God and say/think that God wanted them to win. Are you really so self-centered to think that the mightiest being in existence hand selected you to win the WSOP over anyone else? Gotta say though, if God were gonna pick anybody, guess it should probably be a nice and generous guy like Jerry Yang. Does this mean we can chalk Jamie Gold's run up to God's quirky sense of humor ala the platypus? [/ QUOTE ] how do you know that god doesn't want them/help them to win? maybe he does/maybe he doesn't but all their blathering means is they believe he does.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
I really hope someone asks him what he thinks of the Religious Right's stance against poker.

I'm talking about his virtual genuflecting and flagellation at the alter during the final table. This has nothing to do with whether or not he believes in Jesus, or whatever. His displays were way over the top, and asking people who he just busted out to pray for him was extremely rude. Both to the bustee, and the other players at the table. Thankfully, he stopped doing it after Hilm and Watkinson.

Re: Do you hate Jerry Yang already?
I don' think it is good to act how he did at the table with the whole pray for me etc.
but I kind of view that type of display differently than the Jamie gold/Khan/Hellmuth types of display. Given by all accounts it seems like Yang is truly a very religious person.

[/ QUOTE ] Well it boggles my mind at the hatred some people can display towards religious people for no reason at all especially on this forum. It also boggles my mind that people call Chris Ferguson "Jesus" when he's a self proclaimed atheist. And he goes along with it...unbelieveable. Was Yang a little over the top with it...maybe. But he is having his 15 minutes in the limelight & he got a little excited. No reason to bash him or Christianity for it.
