Mark Dugdale: Christian response re getting big

[Matt C]

a better question is why the fuck do you care? let someone else live the life they want to live. why would someone else's believes bother you so much?

Possibly because Mark's wife has a holier-than-thou attitude and judges everyone else for what they do?  People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.  Nobody would have a problem with Mark's steroid use if not for the fact that he and his wife are both so openly (and selectively) Christian.

Seriously, everybody that worries about their looks is vain and committing a sin but on the big scale of things it is not high at all.

A sin is a sin.  Technically, vanity is as bad as murder.

[bigdumbbell]

they're just a bunch of hypocrites.  are you expecting goodness, honesty and integrity?.

[phyxsius]

it's ok. Hell awaits

Fixed

  if vanity is a sin.. then no one can tan, style their hair, get a manicure, get braces for their teeth, ect ect.. the list will go on and on.. if it was not steroids that mark "sinned" with he would sin by some other means of "vanity".. by the way.. what a useless topic..

"Vanity"........?  LMAO!!!

Please explain to me what part of Bodybuilding is NOT a vain endeavor? 

For these FOOLS on here that want to bring GOD into the equation, let me ask you this:

God's law as described in the BIBLE (The King James Version...but that's the translation that many MORONS base their lives on....and their FAKE ministries on...) CONDEMS the VANITY that is rampant in the I.F.B.B. Figure and Bodybuilding divisions.  IF you are clinging to the BIBLE to try and pass off WHAT you do or WHY you do it to the masses, please look at your life.

let's keep GOD out of bodybuilding

[Special Ed]

All Pro Bodybuilders suffer from low natural testosterone levels; therefore, they all need HRT and are legally able to get prescriptions for their medical ailment. If Jesus were here, he would have healed them, but he's not, so the doctors shall heal them all.

[AWL8UP]

I will play devil's advocate here....

If I remember right, the bible says that it is not our job to judge other humans sins.  It's gods job to judge so you are committing a sin by judging Mark.  If he chooses God will punish him when the time comes.

Also, the bible also say that one should treat the body like a temple?  If that is true then the US government has made an unjust law by banning anabolics.  Therefore, it is not a sin to break that law.

LOL!  You're kidding right?  If you believe in an omnipotent god then you already know that you can't keep god out of anything.

vanity = treat body like temple.... guess I'll be getting a manicure first thing in the morning then... and not going to hell for it...

[Tombo]

NOOOOOO im testing the limits of my body and seeing how HARDCORE i can truely become!!! 

[The Coach]

look up Vanity, genius.

How about making a living and providing for his family? Do you think he's doing it for his health?

[Dorian01]

As long as religious people would like to crucify people for consistently committing one sin, say homosexuality or abortion, then we should be able to crucify them for their sins of child molestation (speaking of the huge amount of Catholic priests and the vast conspiracy to protect them) or steroid abuse.

[timfogarty]

If what you say is true, then all IFBB pros, by way of definition, are criminals since they only use steroids for aesthetic & performance enhancement reasons, correct?

no just the ones who live in the US.

[Matt C]

let's keep GOD fairy tales out of bodybuilding humanity.

Agreed.

[Naked4Jesus]

...and if i DONT?

so funny to see everybody dressing up for church...like they're closing on another property deal. LOL

[SAMSON123]

This is a little off topic but I was wondering what response Mr Dugdale gives his fellow Christians at church if they asked him "how did you get that big" or "did you ever take steroids".

I know he would never lie, especially not to a fellow christian.

Fellow Christian? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha...After Jim and Tammy Faye Baker, Pat Robinson, Ted Haggard etc etc etc...the church is the LAST PLACE where any Christians exist. But for the sake of answering your question...since everyone is guilty of SIN I will answer as JESUS would say...LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE. In short, unless you are SIN FREE, you are not in a place to ask or condemn anyone else for what they do, lest that person then turn and condemn you for what you are doing.

As far as i can see Mark is not committing any sin by taking roids. Vanity doesnt fly. I go to church every sunday and have read the bible many times and have never had sex, or drank, or taken any drugs(coke,weed,etc). But i have done a couple cycles. I dont consider them a sin. It is not a sin to want to improve yourself. It is a sin to want to make someone feel bad because they dont look as good as you, that is vanity. Taking roids would be a sin if you are doing it for the wrong reasons

[genrommel74]

Dude i am a mormon
