Lin>Tebow

[SacJB Shady]

I hate how people always bring god into their conversations. It's like people ONLY want to be good to respect GOD, not because they want to be good from their heart. My buddies annoy me half the time when they start getting into their religious rants. But it's just advice, don't get all butt hurt At the end of the day, Jeremy Lin can do whatever the F*CKKKK HE WANTS TO DO!!!!!!

[stallionaire]

Who gives a **** if he's a Christian.

He could be a Pagan Wiccan Satanist and I would respect him just as much.

**** all this religion talk, b. Lin is a great kid and I don't think him being a christian has shit to do with it. I'm just going to watch this kid play and ignore this little dumb side story.

Don't want a Tebow soap opera in the NBA. SMH.

[mrpibb]

Who gives a **** if he's a Christian.

This.

[SacJB Shady]

But I hope Lin doesn't start talking about God 24-7. Like can't he keep that to himself once in a while instead of I thank god, blah blah

[Bob Cousy]

why do people of no faith always have a hissy fit whenever a players faith is talked about ?

its funny because Christians don't rage when a player expresses that they're atheist.

Because if you all freaks really want us to believe that this God of yours exists, you should try and portray him as someone who care about more important things than whether or not Jeremy Lin's shot goes in.

Thats not me at all, I don't even bring up relegion when talking sports.

I was just playing "devils advocate" here.

[Quizno]

not a big deal, he hasn't been ranting about it or telling people they're going to hell if they don't believe in jesus a la tim tebow. seems to be a dude that keeps it to himself for the most part

Just saying, that's what people find annoying. There's been quite a few professional athletes who were religious, but they haven't all be so presumptuous as to credit divine will for their success.

Hakeem fasted every Ramadan, but he didn't credit Allah in interviews for making John Starks shoot badly.

Christians do, and considering the interview was done by a christian website, I don't really think it's fair to complain about it.

It's Hilarious....

Tim Tebow = Born in Asia...speaks Tagalo...lived in Asia...actually helps develop Asian countries

[Micku]

I think he said that he wanted to be a pastor or something if his NBA career didn't work out or something like that.

But it's not like him being Christian or some other religion would help him make a jumper in the NBA. It's all about if he has skill or not. As long as it doesn't cause some lockerroom drama or something that will affect chemistry on the court it won't matter, and so far it doesn't seem to matter or it's helping. However Christians, players who hardly get shot in the NBA, and Asian Americans could be inspired by him. Good story.

[OmniStrife]

Damn. I thought he was a smart kid...

You are apart of a heretical org. The "book of mormon" is not scripture and not from God.

[Micku]

Religious people tend to be more intelligent.

It's the opposite I think.


"So, more intelligent children are more likely to grow up to go against their natural evolutionary tendency to believe in God, and they become atheists."

Young adults who identify themselves as "not at all religious" have an average IQ of 103 during adolescence, while those who identify themselves as "very religious" have an average IQ of 97 during adolescence.

Not that it matters much because there are a lot of ppl who are religious who are smart. Like I think there was a report that said biologist tend to be more religious than ppl who major in business or lawers or something like that. I could be wrong tho. And this has nothing to do with basketball, so it doesn't really matter.

[mrpibb]

Heretical according to your opinion and not from God according to your belief. If that is the criteria, then any sect of Christianity of which you are a part is the only "Christian" religion out there, and the rest are heretical.

[Bladers]

Actually I saw a study and I think I posted it last year showing most middle class individuals and those in high paying jobs are religious.

[SacJB Shady]

I don't like the term ''religious'' Why do you need to be religious for?

[Bladers]

Heretical according to your opinion and not from God according to your belief. If that is the criteria, then any sect of Christianity of which you are a part is the only "Christian" religion out there, and the rest are heretical.

Not mine, but God's. The book of mormon contradicts the Bible, which is the only and true uncorruptible word of God.

[mrpibb]

Actually I saw a study and I think I posted it last year showing most middle class individuals and those in high paying jobs are religious.

Of course, we should also take into account that most people are religious. Now, before anyone once again jumps and says I'm being a hypocrite, I'm keeping my bias out of it.

So to balance that, I would say that there are a great many people who believe simply because they're too stupid to think of any other way of life. That brings the average IQ down. Meanwhile, people who become educated can make decisions, and that pans out into the higher IQ. However, this makes no statement regarding how many smart people are religious, and how that intelligence correlates with their beliefs.

No evidence has been put forward to make me believe anything other than that.


Not mine, but God's. The book of mormon contradicts the Bible, which is the only and true uncorruptible word of God.

Except it was corrupted. Heard of the Council of Nicaea?

Why do you read from the Old Testament, when Jesus clearly speaks against its laws in the New Testament?

EDIT: I bet you believe the Pentateuch was written by Moses, too.

[Bob Cousy]

I don't like the term ''religious'' Why do you need to be religious for?
you don't need to be anything. A religious belief is a choice given to you that you can accept or deny if you please.

[Micku]

Actually I saw a study and I think I posted it last year showing most middle class individuals and those in high paying jobs are religious.

I don't doubt it since religious>non religious ppl in population. And being middle class or have a high paying job does not mean that you have or don't have a high IQ.

It doesn't matter with Lin tho since he's playing good and ppl are becoming fans of Linsanity.

I'd imagine it probably something to do with the silly nonsense involving the "translating" of gold plates among other things. Doesn't help much that your group now denies having ever taught the Curse of Cain as it relates to people of dark skin being inferior.

[mrpibb]

Let me begin by saying that has absolutely nothing to do with whether the LDS church is Christian.

The Curse of Cain goes along the same lines of Catholics finally saying that maybe, just maybe, babies aren't stuck in limbo if they die before they're baptized. We all have our black eyes. I won't deny them. But I will say that translating the golden plates is not silly nonsense, though it may sound like it, and my church will back that up. It's just as nonsensical as a man resurrecting after three days after leading a life where he cured blindness and brought back the dead.

It's religion, bro. If it were normal, everyday stuff, we wouldn't need to have faith.

Yet another "real world" thread with pathetically stupid comments in it:rolleyes:
The single biggest problem with a lot of you on here, is that you have no life outside of the internet, therefore no real perspective on anything. If you spent less time online maintaining some stupid "internet persona" that doesn't really exist anyway, and more time in the real world, you'd understand that no everything you think in your head should come out of your mouth. Who are you to say another person's beliefs, opinions, ideas, etc are this and that simply cuz it's different from your own?! Everybody has a right to their own opinion, however misguided it is, but to flat out tell another person they don't have a right to their own lifestyle, beliefs, etc, is ludicrous as hell. Which is the telltale sign of a person who's such a social leper, that they spend way too much time online. Cuz anybody with a normal life outside of the internet can tell you, saying stupid stuff like that in public, to another person's face, will get you simply laid the f**k out.

But let me clear up some stuff.

1)God isn't a grandpa (he doesn't age or get old).

2) God doesn't live in the sky, nor does he reside in this world, nor the cosmos. Infact the universe lives in God. He's bigger than all of it.

3) God doesn't get angry at you when you sin (or aka jerk off).

Studies have shown that it's actually more dangerous, in terms of the cons outweighing the pros, to have circumcision. I'll still circumcize my child(ren) when it comes around to it, but it's not healthier.

I think that IQ is part of measuring intelligence, but it's open to debate. There's a bunch of different IQ tests out there.

I don't think success in life is a determine of whatever someone is intelligent or not. You could be average with intelligence and be successful because you are good at something. Like you could be a good singer, actor, pro athlete (boxer, football, etc), and etc, and you'll have a lot of money. I think there was a study where ppl with a high EQ are more successful than ppl with a high IQ.

You don't have to be smart to be successful in life. And having an high IQ doesn't mean you could do everything. Even with the person with the highest IQ ever recorded (who is a doctor) said that he can't draw or play an instrument.

You better start, because he told Joshua to kill every single one of them.

Yes. In fact, an angel of God attempted to kill Moses because he hadn't yet been circumcized.

[Bob Cousy]

They aren't really judging me though right? If they believe in hell, and believe there are certain things that cause you to go to hell they are just putting 2 and 2 together.
There is a righteous kind of judgment we are supposed to exercise but with careful discernment though.


(John 7:24). When Jesus told us not to judge (Matthew 7:1), He was telling us not to judge hypocritically. Matthew 7:2-5 declares, "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

in other words if they say you're going to hell based on certain acts you've made, they better not have done any of those acts themselves.

It's just a cultural surgery...I've read some pedo priest originally told all the people to get their little boys cut to stop them from Fapping:lol


freaking sick F@cks..

This is also true. Other cultures have circumcized, even before the Jews.

[Bladers]

You better start, because he told Joshua to kill every single one of them.


He didn't want them to be swayed by them from him into worshipping idols. He made it clear in the holy scriptures. If you read it yourself rather than getting your info from a second source you would know.



Yes. In fact, an angel of God attempted to kill Moses because he hadn't yet been circumcized.


Wrong. It was the LORD not an angel.

[The Macho Man]

There is a righteous kind of judgment we are supposed to exercise but with careful discernment though.


(John 7:24). When Jesus told us not to judge (Matthew 7:1), He was telling us not to judge hypocritically. Matthew 7:2-5 declares, "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

in other words if they say you're going to hell based on certain acts you've made, they better not have done any of those acts themselves.

I mean I just asked if they thought I was going to hell because I didn't believe in god and they said yeah. Was weird because of how casual they were about it.

[greymatter]

How are those vestigal?
I would like to keep those things

You do know that we can live without our arms or legs or ears, ect
That doesn't make them vestigal

If you understood what vestigial meant, you wouldn't be asking this question.

[Bladers]

Studies have shown that it's actually more dangerous, in terms of the cons outweighing the pros, to have circumcision. I'll still circumcize my child(ren) when it comes around to it, but it's not healthier.



This is also true. Other cultures have circumcized, even before the Jews.

This is not true. yet again you are content to spread disinformation.

Before criticizing my intelligence, you need to learn how to seperate quotes. Unfortunately for you, if you hadn't received your information from a second source, you would know that Mormons read both the Bible and the Book of Mormon.

I would also like to point out that in the Ten Commandments, it says, "Thou shalt not kill."

Well, shit. Looks like that doesn't apply to sinners. God must hate those sinners. I bet Jesus was trying to get rid of Mary Magdalene as quickly as possible so he wouldn't fall into prostitution.

As for the LORD, it says, "The Lord sought to kill Moses." That does not necessarily mean the Lord would personally kill him, no. But don't mind me, keep grasping at your straws.

You want a tail? Uh ok. Good luck on finding a chick who isn't grossed out by it.

You want male nipples that work? Uh ok. Good luck on finding a chick who isn't grossed out by it.

[mrpibb]

This is not true. yet again you are content to spread disinformation.

Oh, really? I remember taking a religion class in college saying both of those things. Let me find them.

First paragraph in the wikipedia entry (look, if it's unreliable, why don't you change it?) says it is first depicted in cave paintings.

It looks like I'm slightly wrong about the circumcision health. It's still very unclear whether it's worth it, and it does decrease the likelihood of HIV.

[The Macho Man]

oh ...:confusedshrug:

I'm not sure you wanna hear my input either.:(

It's a shame, one of the chicks was really into me but I was too weirded out by her casual attitude towards my eternal damnation.

You'll get an STD if you do it with the wrong people whether you're cut or not.


why?...:hammerhead:


watch the video of how they strap down the baby and cut his shlong...

if you would do that to your own child IMo it's plain criminal.

not too mention it's unhealthy and unnecessary....



we have it for a reason.

Yet another "real world" thread with pathetically stupid comments in it:rolleyes:
The single biggest problem with a lot of you on here, is that you have no life outside of the internet, therefore no real perspective on anything. If you spent less time online maintaining some stupid "internet persona" that doesn't really exist anyway, and more time in the real world, you'd understand that no everything you think in your head should come out of your mouth. Who are you to say another person's beliefs, opinions, ideas, etc are this and that simply cuz it's different from your own?! Everybody has a right to their own opinion, however misguided it is, but to flat out tell another person they don't have a right to their own lifestyle, beliefs, etc, is ludicrous as hell. Which is the telltale sign of a person who's such a social leper, that they spend way too much time online. Cuz anybody with a normal life outside of the internet can tell you, saying stupid stuff like that in public, to another person's face, will get you simply laid the f**k out.

Oh great, someone somewhere is a member of the second largest religion on earth. This doesn'y change a thing and really shouldn't be a big deal at all. Good for Lin.

[HAzE024]

Jesus Christ is a devout Linnist

[monkeypox]

As much as people complain about religious people and preaching, isn't it way more likely nowadays to have atheists getting on their soapboxes and trying to push their beliefs on people? Seriously, just go to any mixed board and tell me that it's the religious people that are doing the preaching, lol. Heck read this thread and see who's smearing their views more. As a centrist I find it a little disconcerting since I used to always believe that the left was a little more correct, but really it's just about being a different kind of asshole.

This thread even exists only because of Christianity.

[The Choken One]

All people that are born into christianity by their parents are not true christians.
Religion itself is a giant facepalm.

[DKLaker]

I hate how people always bring god into their conversations. It's like people ONLY want to be good to respect GOD, not because they want to be good from their heart. My buddies annoy me half the time when they start getting into their religious rants. But it's just advice, don't get all butt hurt At the end of the day, Jeremy Lin can do whatever the F*CKKKK HE WANTS TO DO!!!!!!

I honestly don't care WHY someone is a good person, I only care that they are a good person.........there are way too many malicious, evil people out there......especially today.

[Poodle]

a-ton-of-azns-are-religious...not-surprised.

[ThunderKat]

I find all religions to be similar in that they are all a con game. To each his own, though. Just as long as he doesn't try to force feed it then I'm cool with it.

I think Tebow is a nice guy, but the religion stuff tends to overshadow him as a person. I mean, when you think of Tebow people think of baby Jesus, right? I kid, I kid.. please don't fake neg me. :D

[Snoop_Cat]

What's the big deal? Lin obviously has very strong beliefs which he keeps to but isn't always throwing in our faces like Tebow is. Does he throw the "I'm holier than thou" routine around like Tebow does? Not even close.

I'm not exactly a religious guy, but Lin's steadfast devotion to God without being overbearing and annoying is definitely respectable.

Lin is too smart to not believe in intelligent design.

[DMV2]

not a big deal, he hasn't been ranting about it or telling people they're going to hell if they don't believe in jesus a la tim tebow. seems to be a dude that keeps it to himself for the most part
This.

He thanks God in his post-game on-court interviews but only mentions it like once or twice. For most parts, he talks about his teammates, the fans, as well praising the opposition, and so on.

[just_NONchalant]

Lin is too smart to not believe in intelligent design.

Or indoctrinated before the age of reason not to question his religion (Christianity)
