Good morning.
A man’s got a heart, hasn’t he?
Joking apart — hasn’t he?
And though I’d be the first one to say that I wasn’t a saint
I’m finding it hard to be really as black as they paint…
If you’re worried about the health of your heart then one pointedly obvious precaution is not to play football with and then swap shirts with Faroe Islands goalkeeper Poul Thomas Dam.
This player – it has been alleged on Twitter this morning – has only swapped shirts with two players in his career. Fabrice Muamba and Piermario Morosini.
Mr Muamba has been busy thanking his made up friend for the miracle of life. Just for one second try to embrace the mind numbing arrogance of such a wild assertion that God declines to prevent a tsunami that slaughters several hundred thousand; yet pops down from on high to save one random footballer.
The Bolton player claims to have seen two Scotty Parkers as he collapsed at White Hart Lane. That’s nothing. By the end of the Norwich and QPR games I was seeing all sorts of near fantastic, blurry and multicoloured visions before I collapsed. And the day after each game I was praying for divine intervention or at the very least a restorative cup of char.
Talking of people who are aren’t really there, our tight lipped supremo hasn’t ventured into the limelight for several days now. One can only presume he’s wandering his mock tudor Sandbanks lawns having morphed into a hybrid of one time Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf and George III.
“Chelsea, for sure they’ve won all the medals. They haven’t got my FA Cup winning medal ‘cos I give that to Sandra, they won’t be ‘aving that one, ooh no. The run in? I don’t know, the chairman’s dealing wiv all that. I don’t know what people are complaining about. You didn’t hear Mooro complaining that the World Cup was too heavy when he was lifting it up, did you? You can’t talk to most of ’em these days. Your average Croatian thinks pie & liquor is brass house. People say to me …you’re a fantastic manager…”

Chomical Arry. We salute you.

The Spurs dressing room physio bench is currenting being used to release the demons. Harrys head-spinning antics and backward spider walk is freaking Gareth out. Joe Jordan is the Exorcist. He will prevail. God Speed.
Carry on Up the Redknapp…with cash bonuses.
Hahahhhaa.
That’ll be a pound!
You’ll find God is not great, he play’s Golf.
“wild assertion that God declines to prevent a tsunami that slaughters several hundred thousand; yet pops down from on high to save one random footballer.”
Come on HH, seriously. If you can’t see why this basically proves god’s existence, you’re deluded. The people who died in the tsunami were mostly muslims, buddhists and hindu. God only listens to prayers to Him, like the ones he gets from Fabrice every day. If Southeast Asia prayed like Fabrice did, to the real Santaclaus, oops I mean a higher power, He would have saved them. Simples.
How do you it’s a ‘he’?
Because HE wore the number 10 shirt between 1975-1987, I saw him with mine own eyes-honest
and so did I…. :angel:
Harts, you wore the number 10 shirt between ’75-’87? Nice.
week in, week out…check out some of the programmes from the period :shifty:
Didn’t he make an appearance in a No4 shirt?
How do you know he’s an ‘it’?
Football is my religion and supporting our mob my self flagellation to atone for my sins-which is supporting our mob- it’s called PAIN
It’s not Gods word I doubt,it’s the selection policy he uses to select his ambassadors that concerns me most
The word ‘it’ is used to refer to that one previously mentioned….used of a nonhuman entity; an animate being whose sex is unspecified, unknown, or irrelevant; a group of objects or individuals; an action; or an abstraction.
The deities use of ‘he’ will ensure more enslavement to the meek and mild and discriminate actions to the female which is evident around the globe.
Just a thought!
Don’t blame me, the bible is the one who started referring to god as ‘he’.
Also, I don’t believe in god. So the pronoun that I choose for HIM is as relevant as the pronoun I choose for the Easter Bunny.
Would you claim that my insistence in referring to the Easter Bunny as ‘he’ leads to the repression of women? After all, as with god, I can’t possibly know/comprehend the gender of the being in question (do Easter Bunnies even have gender? Do they procreate? I just don’t know).
That’s the case of me referring to god as ‘he’. As for all the believers, maybe you have a point. Maybe they SHOULD refer to god as ‘it’. Then again, maybe they should just get their heads out of the sand and accept that there is uncertainty in life, and that there are some things we just don’t understand. Explaining it all with a vindictive, bearded man on a cloud (excuse me, a vindictive, bearded genderless being on a cloud) doesn’t actually explain anything, you see. It DOES seem to lead to overzealousness, though.
After all, what do you think has led to more repression of women in the history of humankind; organised religion, or grammar/sematics?
Hombre,
If you believe God exists, surely you should also know how not to speak His mind, on why he answers some and ,apparently, not others?
If you believe sarcasm exists, surely, you should read my post again.
As a teacher of religious studies, I’m going to throw in my 2 shekels worth…
If LosLorenzo hadn’t been being sarcastic, he wouldn’t have been speaking G-d’s mind based on an his own inference but rather based on a quote from the New Testament (John 14-6). If the Hebrew Bible really is (as is claimed)the living word of G-d then its pretty clear that He doesn’t like idol worshippers (Hindus, Buddhists, etc fall under this category), hence LosLorezos answer was theologically coherent, though not necessarily correct.
As for why G-d is a He? In part its because in Hebrew there is no neutral gender, so whoever wrote the Bible had to assign to G-d either male or female. The Rabbis in the Talmud discuss the question; since G-d is neither male or female why did He choose the male gender when referring to Himself. Their answer is that the essence of maleness is infinite potential whist femaleness is turning potential into concrete reality. One example said to demonstrate this truth is the respective roles of male and female in reproduction. Males produce sperm in the billions and do so until they drop dead, whilst females are born with all the ovum they will use in their life already present. In each fertilized ovum, it is the female who has ‘selected’ the one sperm from the amongst the billions and turned this into the concrete reality of the specific child.
I hope that was not too boring :)
very good explanation which can be scientifically verified as with most of the bible, contrary to popular belief.It will probably be boring to some but may be an eye opener to others.Nice to hear from a true seed of abraham yid, speaking as one grafted in . :angel: :winke: melc is short for ?
I’ll let you fill that one in. SHALOM
Melchizedek?
too boring to read anyway
.
“theologically coherent”
Isn’t that an oxy? Moron. Sorry, oxymoron? ;-)
