Dana White, King of MMA

the sweetest, kindest, happiest little boys you would ever meet. He was my little
angel. Everyone loved him, and that would not change for many years. Dana’s
personality is one that people are drawn to him, wanting to be his friend, and that
would follow him well into his adult years.
These days, Dana professes to be an atheist and says he does not believe in God
or “any of that bullshit.” You would think that someone who has had the good fortune
in life that he has would believe there is something more to these fortuitous
circumstances than just his own efforts or good luck. Of course, some people make
statements like that when their personal actions show total disregard for any
principles or morals. I suppose, if you believe there are no consequences for your

at the time that Dana was claiming he did not believe there was a God. I responded,
“Dana was raised Catholic. He was an altar boy. He went to Catholic school and was
married in the Catholic Church and all his children were baptized in the church.”
Somewhat confused by the news I asked, “When did Dana make this decision?”
Before the writer could answer, I thought about Dana’s behavior these days and
told the writer, “Oh, wait. I can understand why he doesn’t believe in God anymore.
It’s because these days he thinks he’s God.” The writer went back to Dana and told
Dana that I had made those comments to him. I am told Dana was furious. I found his
reaction quite amusing.
Recently, I was in the hospital and very sick, knocking-on-heaven’s-door sick.
Dana came to see me, and one of the first things he asks me is whether I actually
