noones disputing that. The "Mike Tyson" post was a response to someone asking "name 1 pro athlete that praised Alah publicly"
Keep displaying your ignorance, tinytexxx. In this case, you've clearly never watched Turner Classic Movies, which has the kind of flicks I mentioned on all the time. But don't let me interrupt your inane babbling. Please, carry on.
unintentional humor is always the best! Deck, you + me tonight -- let's go catch a "talkie" at the drive in!
I think SacTown was just providing an example, not making commentary on how that person's faith in whatever caused a downfall in his boxing career.
Every successful individual that is religious, will have that religion's followers shouting from the top of a mountain. It is really quite sad. I'm not sure Jesus would subscribe to that kind of thinking. "My god has a bigger dick than your god" George Carlin
would it be "acceptable" if Lin was Buddhist and openly promoted Buddhism? I think people would throw a fit
Here was the "challenge..." I thought you were suggesting that Tyson's fall was due to his faith alone.
Keep in mind though that the vast majority of Dream's playing time was prior to 9/11 and only played one season, in Toronto in the twilight of his career after 9/11. This was prior to the outcry over things like the Ground Zero Mosque. Also I recall criticism even here on Clutchfans in the last 10 years of supposed ties between Olajuwon and terrorist organizations through his charities.
Who cares, it's not like he's shoving it in people's faces, he just says it when he gets interviewed. I'm an agnostic, and don't like it when athletes shove too much religion in your face, but i have no problem with what Lin is going. Though I have to say, I get annoyed when MMA fighters do it on post fight interviews when they just smashed some guy's face into a bloody pulp.
Is there a thread where Christians claim victory because someone famous believes the same stuff they do?
