Ventura made ??his debut as a professional wrestler in 1975 becoming known in the ring with the names of "The Body", "The Star" and "The Mind", and coming to play with Hulk Hogan , in the mid- eighties , the title Sample of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).

Ventura in an interview he gave to Playboy in 1999 said, “Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business. I live by the golden rule: Treat others as you'd want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live” (Hefner, 1999).

The Position He Takes On the Issue

Religion is a crutch, a sign of human weakness. To be honest, religion is not the only crutch. He says that he is so weak; he needs a range of support mechanisms to sustain and to move forward in life. He needs food. He is ashamed to admit that he is totally dependent on food. Without food, one probably would not have the strength to do anything at all. He is of the view that his body is not nourished alone. It needs outside help. This is the main reason that he is of the view that religion is a crutch (Hefner, 1999).

He says that he also has an emotional crutch. He needs other people. If not for the support of his family and friends certainly would not be where he was able to reach. While they were on the subject, he is also of the view that he is also quite dependent on his shoes. His feet's would suffer greatly without them. The human is a fragile. He says that we are not self-sufficient and are dependent on external sources for the survival. He says that we need to be fed, need to be loved, and need shoes. First, he would appreciate as a purpose to my life. As he cannot nourish without going abroad, he cannot give real meaning to his life without looking beyond himself. He is also of the view that maybe this is the reason that makes him weak. He thinks that it gives him strength. Even though he has hunger, he is alone or barefoot, having a divine purpose, he can face any challenge (Hefner, 1999).
