Why didn't KB1 call soccer's Robbie Rogers when he came out??
because the entire sport of soccer is gay, obvi. They're waiting for a straight guy to come out before they make it news.

We view this very differently. I didn't see it as a religious debate at all. It is possible for Gblock and I to discuss how it is viewed without it being a debate. He shared his opinions and I shared mine. Nothing more.

Sound logic
Did someone say gays were wrong?

I don't think it's newsworthy because of religion.

Joking or not, you're almost as funny as something completely not funny.

I mean, you could probably find other pics that are more flattering, but this is the reason why he's homosexual.

Ex-fiancee:



Okay, that was mean. She's probably a great gal. I'm sorry.

"...We may agree to disagree, and the church says one thing, and we can agree to disagree. ..."

Yep.

"...if I give you John 3:16, it says, “whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” He doesn’t say if you’re straight, it says whoever believes it. ..."

I don't think Mr. White was disputing that.

I almost refuse to believe that people blindly follow religion to this degree, its truly amazing. I understand when you're a young kid who you can easily make an impression on...But once you're of age to think for yourself, how can you possibly believe some of this crap? smh


But I agree, Leroy Butler got it right

What makes you think it's blindly?

If you ask how it's possible you are indicating that you don't know how.

Because you follow it without questioning it at all, even when its blatantly obvious that what you're reading cannot possibly be true.

A man living in the belly of a Whale, A senior citizen building a giant arc and rounding up animals 2 by 2 ect ect.

Basically the whole movie "Religulous" i could quote and would basically be my exact feelings on organized religion and how it contradicts itself over and over and just flat out doesnt make sense. But this is the pro sports forum so ill drop it
