Well, it just depends on your beliefs. God, Allah, and Yawhe are all the same, but are called by a different name by 3 different religions. All I'm asking for is a little respect. DD, did you not ask us to not curse on the forum?? You found it disrespectful and you let your opinion be heard. I am simply doing the same...I was offended by Tinman's statement, sarcastic or not. What made it more irritating for me is the fact that he simply would not say "I am sorry for making a disrespectul/insensitive comment about a religious figure." I don't think thats too much to ask...
I know he was being sarcastic, but theres a reason why I ommited part of the quote...the first part was well said.
Obviously, religion is not thought of seriously on this forum...not much I can do about that. But I really felt disrespected over the last couple of hours. I mean, I wouldn't disrespect anybody else like that...why can't I simply get that in return??

You are the only person who was actually hurt over this matter. :/ Can't say much other than suck it up and come back later.
Look, if you were living in a place where you were the only one of your religion/race, wouldn't you still not want your respect?? I'm not trying to convert anybody...I don't care what people believe in. I said, ANY religion should not be involved in sports. I simply asked for some respect and an apology. Thats it. I wasn't being a "Bible-Thumper", so I don't know why I'm getting so much disrespect on this board.
It's your interpretation of your religion dude. don't try to make other Christians seem like sensitive cry babies. I'm not apologizing, cause I don't want God to think I'm an idiot for doing so. I'm going to pray to "THAT DUDE" and ask him that you'd lighten up. I don't think God is offended or even cares about Rockets analogies.
Tinman vs the Black Knight! Who'd a thunk it would be the Black Knight being the whiney one? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2eMkth8FWno&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2eMkth8FWno&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
I said ANY RELIGION should be kept out of sports. I'm sorry if I care that much about my religion to ask for some respect. Thats fine, but I bet if they threaten to ban you from here, you'll be writing me an apology letter Or if Hakeem Olajuwon was disrespected by your comments, you would make a thread called "God is great, and I"M SORRY DREAM!! By the way, I did report you since you did not apologize. Just to let you know...
I'm not a Christian extemist by any means...only been to church twice in the last 6 weeks... But I do have my core beliefs, and I personally thought what Tinman said was disrespectful. I didn't ask him to send the Vatican a letter of apology. I didn't ask him to apologize to all Christians, I asked him to apologize to me. I didn't try to convert anybody or be a Bible Thumper. I said we should leave ALL RELIGONS OUT OF BASKETBALL DISCUSSIONS. That includes Christianity, Islam, Jewish, Bhuddist, Hindu, Atheists, Scientology, whatever religion you can think of. Thats my personal belief so that NOBODY gets offended or disrespected.
A whiner, and a moron. Tinman posts a lot of questionable content and ideals. And he hasn't been banned thusfar. Why should he be banned for something as stupid as this...
