Title: Dugdale...
Post by: rockyfortune on September 27, 2006, 09:45:14 AM
What's the deal with this guy? I read a story and he is expressing his Christian values and all this Jesus talk and all that...Now, I'm not bodybuilding insider but it's widely known performance enhancing drugs are used in professional bodybuilding...they are illegal in the U.S. also--doesn't this appear a bit hypocritical on his part?  IMO...

Theres a ton of useless laws in the u.s. and having roids be illegal is one of them.  I wouldn't classify steroids in the same categories as meth, or heroin.  Gods judgement is his judgement and I'm not sure if your qualified to question wheather Dugdale will be condemned for it.

you guys are nitpicking, so he says stuff about the bible, BFD.  I know he has a set of values and If I believe them, great, if not, great.  He's a little more vocal about  it than some others but I've never heard him say a word about it, I've heard people bitching about it more than anything else.  At least he's doing something positive, is it hypocritical?  I don't know...I think the bible says don't judge unless you are judged so I'll leave it at that.  Bottom line is I could care less what he believes in or what he says.  He seems like a stand up guy to me and he's always been cool to me when I've communicated with him here.  I don't persecute people for doing roids and I'm not gonna do it for believing in christ, live and let live.

Our reigning mr O is a devout christian that obviously indulges in perf-enhancing, growth-inducing substances. Also he was a cop while obviously on the juice.
Those could be considered hypocritical, but its a means to an end.
At least hes not pushing them, just taking.

It's also illegal in some towns to have sex with your wife on Sundays. Does that mean all Christians are commiting a sin by breaking this law? Sugar serves no good purpose in the human body as well as many of substances that are legal and accepted. Does this mean it is OK do eat them because they are legal? How bout cigarettes?  Mans laws and Gods laws are two different things.

I think the point here is that a juicing bodybuilder is not your typical bible-toter.  In this society, steroids have been condemned by the law and by the majority of the population.  Mores and Folkways do come in to play regarding a country's laws.  If the general population as well as the law itself does not accept steroids, it is probably safe to assume that most christian religions do not either.  Furthermore, from my experience in religion (protestant), it is widely known that one of the first rules is to respect the laws of man first and foremost.

You cannot be a flag-waving Christian in America without being a major hypocrite in one way or another.  It's mandatory. 

It's also no big deal.  By all accounts, the guy is a hard-working family man who tries to lead by example in the non-bodybuilding areas of his life. 

His life, his call.  If you want to make your judgments about him based solely on his faith, that's fine, but he's entitled to live the life he has chosen for himself.  If (as you state) he's broken any laws, then there will possibly be a consequence for those actions.

I have yet to hear a single person say that Mark is not a good guy.

Last time I checked, jaywalking is illegal too, but Jesus was known to jaywalk all the time in Bethlehem. Rumor has it, he nearly got run over by a wild donkey at the intersection of Mule and West Fourth.

Where did I say he was a bad guy? 

Never, in what I wrote, did I rip him for living the bodybuilding lifestyle...which we all know includes illegal activities due to acquiring performance enhancers...i asked if anyone else thought that he was a hypocrite for all his jesus speak on one hand and then doing what he does to produce a professional bodybuilding physique on the other.  I never ripped him for being a bad guy---just being inconsistent--it's what makes religion a joke and the people who blather on about it look even sillier, including him.

One of my core beliefs is that - regardless of faith or position in life - we all have things to work on. 

As much as I might (as another poster noted) 'bash Christians', I really don't hold them to any higher standards of morality as I do anyone else.  Nor do I expect their actions to be any more consistent than anyone else's.  Experience has taught me that. 

Are the 'talkers' easy marks because their actions so often contradict their words?  Sure, but that speaks only to my own nature and to that of others who - like yourself - can so easily spot the flawed nature of Christians in America.

dvalletti,

I get your point. If it's not hyprocritical it's highly ironic.
Too many people totally misunderstand the main point.
Digging up arcane laws that were made when the culture
was more puritanical are besides the point. What Dvalletti is
getting at is rather the essence of the matter. Namely,
if Jesus were alive could anyone picture him juicing up
with what we know about him from past descriptions and so forth?
If the answer is no it's clearly something he would choose not to do
it seems logical that his so-called followers would live the lifestyle
he lived. Thus, one could make the argument Dugdale is a hyprocrite for
eschewing one philosophy while living another. However, to be honest
I don't believe Jesus would have cared one way or another about
bodybuilding since it's primarily concerned with the ego and spiritual
matters are beyond it...

All of this is reposted from a previous thread about Dugdale and Christianity.

Like most people who wear their religion on their sleeves, I think he’s being a hypocrite.  Professional body building is anything but a Christian undertaking.  AAS is only a small part of the problem. 

Taking pride in your appearance is one thing but body building requires a great deal of vanity--hardly a Christian virtue.  Your goal is not merely to achieve (cosmetic) physical conditioning, it is to be looked at, admired, and, yes, even worshipped.  This doesn’t just happen on stage or in magazines.  This latter characterization is underscored by posing for a venue like musclegallery.com; a company that specializes in homoerotica and muscle worship videos.  And don’t get me started in private posing . . .

http://musclegallery.com/mark_dugdale/index.htm

Part of what makes body building problematic is that it is based entirely on the superficial.  You don’t have big muscles in order to do something (run fast, jump, lift heavy, etc.)  you have them simply for the sake of showing them off; you build and build yourself up, but for no possible purpose.  The proliferation of synthol and implants scarcely warrant comment.

I’m not saying you can’t be a Christian and enjoy sports, but professional bodybuilidng?  What Bible is he reading?  As someone said previously.... very selective Christianity.  Alas, in this he has plenty of company. 

Here’s a serious question: why do Christians love to tell people they are Christians?  Who are they trying to convince?  We have a saying where I come from, “Don’t listen to what people say; listen to what they do.”  If you are a Christian, all you need do is walk the walk.  Don’t talk the talk.

religous ppl think that god created humans perfect, what is the appendix for then? oh wait thru evolution we lost the use for it as we advanced right.  We are animals just like every other thing on this planet, just advanced ones where inteligence was key to our survival and dominance.  Christians are hypocrites cause it is their animal instinct to act the way they and we all do, they can't help it, church helps them feel better.

All of this is reposted from a previous thread about Dugdale and Christianity.

 http://musclegallery.com/mark_dugdale/index.htm

 Here’s a serious question: why do Christians love to tell people they are Christians?  Who are they trying to convince?  We have a saying where I come from, “Don’t listen to what people say; listen to what they do.”  If you are a Christian, all you need do is walk the walk.  Don’t talk the talk.

So maybe Christians should parade down the streets of america and show everyone who they are? Is that what you mean by walk the walk?

As long as it doesn't go against Gods law. Man's laws are not based on what God wants!

Who is this "God" you speak of?  Has he talked to you, told you "the laws"?  Was not man created in Gods image?  Would your parents ostracize you if you made a mistake?  Many laws that are called "God's laws" were thought up by men.

The driving force behind religion is the faith that lies behind it.  If you cannot hold a higher power above your parents and everyone else, then of course it won't make sense.  Besides, I don't know of any religion that says your parents are perfect or that you should worship them.  Everyone has a god, whether it be spiritual, physical, metphysical, an idol, or whatnot.  That is what a person follows.

To Mark's credit he was not aware of what musclegallery was about.  I don't think he researched it.  He's a smart guy and I would assume he is good with bookkeeping, BUT we all make mistakes sometimes and this was probably one of those times.  Oh well - live and learn.

Oh come on, of course he knew. I'm certain he asked or was told who'd done work for them and checked out their site etc.

BTW, all this talk about how Mark should behave is irrelevant because in their brand of calvinist christianity there's a built in back door to excuse any behavior. Basically they can do nothing to get salvation. Only by "God's grace" is salvation achieved. Whatever they do or do not do doesn't change anything. God has chosen and saved them.

I can respect that opinion.  There is not enough soul searching within oneself in western culture.  Even as a child, my pastor could not tell me why all the other christian churches were wrong.  I guess it's up to each person to find their own happy medium with what or whomever.

nah what about cocaine plant ?

The way Dugdale is using them, yes.  TRT has all kinds of benefits, but Dugdale is obviously using slightly higher doses coupled with SprayFlex.  TA might be interested in reading these links:

I'm pretty sure part of the Christian god's law is to obey the laws of man, even laws which are plain and utter stupid bullshit.  That's why religion was created by man to begin with - as a mean's of control.  Funny thing is, religion is probably the bane of the world right now which causes far more harm than good.  The only reason why Christian fundamentalists in the USA are not radicals who go out and commit terrorist acts is because they are not oppressed.  If they were, I assure you they would be equally psychotic.

I believe he has his own business and does very well for himself...I would think that god would praise him for doing so and the fact that he must have quite a few employees that he helps put bread on their table..

Now if bodybuilding is a hobby for him like he has stated, thats fine...But if he competes against others that are doing it to put bread on there table, I believe god would probably see him as taking bread off someone elses table if he was to be in the money...I wouldn't call that a hobby...

In my opinion, yes.  As long as they are obeying the laws of man, there is no fault in that.  If the life you lead is within the boundaries of the law that surrounds you, then as a christian I would say you are doing just fine.  I'm not a raving church-goer or anything like that, but I do have a solid foundation of religion in me.

Yes, we are all sinners.  But there a lot of people who have faith and practice christianity without all the preaching.  Ronnie and Dugdale both insist on including God in every article and interview.  I think a lot of people take issue with religion being pushed to them by those in the public eye.  It's fine that they're christians and that's what they believe, but people don't pick up a bodybuilding mag to strengthen their faith.  They want to read about bodybuilding.  It's when a person is outspoken about religion that they open themselves up for criticism.  Most of us wouldn't go on record preaching our beliefs because we know we don't live perfect christian lives.  Those people that do should expect more criticism then the common man.  That's just the way the world works.  To quote Pearl Jam, "If you hate something....don't you do it too."  My take is, don't go on record preaching about religion without a clean record unless you are prepared to take some criticism.

I don't think anyone made the claim that Mark said he was without sin. Also,
I don't believe anyone made the claim that they never sinned. The precise
definition of sinning is "missing the mark". Usually when we say sinning
we mean missing the mark in regards to moral precepts of a certain religion.
Every major world religion has strict and not so strict more precepts.
Some like not murdering are easier to keep than others like you must never lie.
The point to keep in mind about all of it is not whether someone sins or not
but if they intentionally sin. Therefore, a person sinning but making the effort
not to is what counts. People become angry when someone proclaims to be a person
against sin (such as a Christian) but then intentionally sins knowing it's contrary
to what they preach.
