I know you are probably just joking but your jest is uncalled for and inappropriate at best. Try not to be an Asshat.

Don't forget before the monotheistic religions took hold there were dozens of gods. Might have been like a WWE Free For All!

I agree forum pollution is a serious problem.

I was under the impression that the oldest profession was the oldest sport.

You and legger both need to lighten up.
The “all the glory to God” comments really were a bit much.

I think the Oldest sport comes from Ancient Egyptian Art, Painting I guess. About 2500 BCE

Oldest team sport in art is from Fresco in Crete, essentially girls field hockey.

Pennsylvania's Two Primo Sports, Wrestling & Field Hockey

------------------

Since some of us are Darwinists, Deists, Agnostics, or Pastafarians, look to evolution for the oldest sport. Some creatures like Equines obviously it is running. Even Wild Zebras Like to race.But For Humans, it might have been Running or wrestling, Possibly even so Our earlier Ancestors like Heidelbergensis, But if we go back 7-30 Million years, thru Hominoid Great apses. all Apes, All Primates, then, Certainly Wrestling, not Running

Apparently GOD watches ESPN on Saturday nights of NCAA Final.
The 4 Penn State and David Carr (Carr Family of Erie, PA) are all from quite religious families. I also believe Gable Dan Stevenson gave a GOD shoutout. So 6 out of 10 not bad. Possibly another one in there also. Surely GOD had something to say about STANFORD dropping wrestling too.

Anyway, in my era, LEHIGH still had mandatory CHAPEL every morning and we were all sleepy young men of less than 300 in our class, possibly 1200 in entire university then. We also had supervised dorms and mandatory lights out also. The professor liked to flunk at least 10% of the freshman class out to keep Lehigh competitive with MIT and Carnegie Tech in that era.

My advice. Don't make humor of God. We all can die at any time and place of calling in our lifetime. From child to old and infirm. It would be nice to find that existence had a purpose and that there ultimately is a better destination. The unexplained, especially if you are well versed in high level physics, can be quite empty and terrifying if you think too hard about it.

I tip my hat off to the young believers who got their message out on NCAA. I lean that GOD does exist after decades of being an agnostic.
