    My favorite "god loves me most" thing is when an athlete like an MMA wins his bout, purses his lips, nods his head, looks up, and points up with both index fingers as if to say "Hey, God - did you see that massive KO? I'm awesome, right?"

      Same in American football touchdown celebrations. These Herculean-physiqued men would have been epic battlefield assets or maybe gladiators only a few millennia ago. But instead of armor they now wear pads and tights and concuss themselves and each other for fake points and frat bro sports betting.

      Culturally normalized narcissism, right there.
