HBK to be honored
 

:rofl:

I just have a hard time with that one considering all HBK's past gimmicks.

I seriously would have loved for the evil Sean O'Hare gimmick to have taken off, seen him feud with HBK, and in the middle of Michaels getting a beat down, have O'Hare get in his face, "WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW SHAWN?!"

That Cracks me up.

Brainless Jesus freaks rabidly praising other Jesus freaks. You cna be the biggest asshole on the planet, thump your religion, and get praised for it.

I agree. I've always had a problem with people who 'find God'. It's like Forrest said to Lt. Dan when he asks if he's found Jesus yet..."I didn't know I was s'posed to be lookin' for him." I know I don't have to look...HBK will tell us where to find him!

I'll find God when HBK finds his smile.

theres a new HBK DVD coming out titled: Lost my smile, but found a god

:shifty:

So, does anyone on this site actually understand the religeon that they continually bash?

Christianity isn't about your past sins, so don't bash the organization for honoring a man who made past mistakes. By pointing your finger and shaming someone, you're making yourself look like you're worse of a person than the people you point your finger at.

Secondly, HBK isn't that much of an asshole, and he doesn't thump his religeon. Practicing your religeon isn't thumping it. Don't be disgusted because he's wearing a shirt with a cross on it. It's not like he comes out, points to the camera, and says, "KK, you're a bad person because you touch your wee-wee."

Christianity is about setting an example, and real Christians are about trying to liberate us from shame. If somebody does otherwise and claims to be a Christian, they're not a very good Christian. Just like there are good and bad Muslims. We shouldn't hunt down and kill every Muslim because a vast minority of them are terrorists. Be angry at the individual, not the organization.

How True

I think it's just that most of us have been jaded by the religious freaks that shove their beliefs in everybody else's faces and put themselves on a pedestal above the other "heathens" and atheists. I don't want to have to get dirty looks when Christians find out I'm an atheist. Maybe if ALL Christians accepted people of other faiths as equals, then we wouldn't have a problem with Christianity at all.

There's a bunch of Christians in suits carrying bibles who camp outside my uni trying talking to people as they walk past. Needless to say, that don't get a lot of success. That is perhaps the only thing about Christians which annoys me.

Whether you believe in God or not isn't my concern. A lot of Christians feel that the only way they can be a good Christian is if they convert somebody, and although part of Christianity is to go out and spread the word it doesn't mean forcing people into it.

Those of you who know me around here know that I'm not one to bring up religion a lot. In fact, I think the concerns of a lot of Christians in these types of situations are that atheists won't accept us if we say we're Chistian. You say that Christians put themselves on a pedestal above "heathens," but a lot of times I feel that atheists put them on a pedistal above "Brainless Jesus Freaks". So there's a lot of fear of one another on both sides.

One of the teachings of Christianity is to love your enemies just as you do your friends. It's to show by example how everyone, be you Christian, Jew, Muslim, or Athiest, should live your lives. Christians SHOULD be more concerned with peace than with morality. I can't speak for my fellow Christians on TPWW, but I for one am all about that. So maybe you'll change your mind about being an atheist in the future, but I'm not going to try to force my beliefs on you. We're cool.

As for the people who started this thread. I'm not trying to make you feel like crap. I'm just speaking what TerranRich said from his point of view. We don't want to be looked down upon because somebody else soiled our names.

Yeah. That's kinda what I was saying. Rather than chasing after you and bugging you, they should be living their lives like anyone else just being a good person. If you take notice and like what they're doing, you can start to live your life like they are too.

I have no problem with people who find God. I have a problem with people who use their religion as a marketing tool (His T-Shirts), or embody so many negative aspects not supposedly of their religion.

What annoys me is Christian rock, Christian Wrestlers, and anything else where they have to add "Christian" to it. I hate when the mediocre gets elevated simply for being "Christian." Let's celebrate Jesus by honoring such a "Good Christian" like Michaels. :roll:

Errr...Since you quoted me, let's just point out that I'm not an aetheist.

And to quote a major player, my only fault with Christianity is that "none have practised it."

Let's just let it go.

This belongs in the casual forum.

Besides, wasn't JBL recently honoured by the California Agricultural Society or something?

Yes. Harp your point of view then tell people to let it go. Good on ya. :y:

You mean the Florida Agricultural Group? ;)

Yeh. That was it. Oh wait, i get it, the intials.....

they spell FAG! mwhahahahaaaaa :wtf:

WOW! This discussion went WAY deeper than I intended. I just wanted to push the fact thak HBK is on special this week at Home Depot casue he's a massive tool.

Stupid religious zealots...sorry, couldn't resist.

James just quoted something I missed before.

It's not all about his past mistakes, it's about his present ones as well.

I love how someone who was telling us not to t=point the finger was blindly pointing one by himself.

:lol:

Thanks James, you inadvertantly gave me something...

Not to mention the assumption that it's a "shirt with a cross" on it that bothers me.

It couldn't be http://shopzone.wwe.com/newimages/images/01061pi.jpg

Naw. Let's try and argue against an assumed point with ignorance. It's the cross! BAH GAWD HE HATES THA CRAWS!

I'm going to avoid the inevitable jokes about Triple H's "source of strength" baseball caps which actually have a picture of a couple of steroid needles etched next to the letters HHH.

Let's just be happy that Triple H has "found God," and is leading by virtuous example.

Where is Brother Love when you need him?

In a whorehouse on broadway

:lol:

I just agree with TS6 that people need to realize not all christians are bible thumping "JOIN US OR BURN!" people. I don't agree with HBK's merchandise. I would rather he just wore the christian shirts he did when he first came back (aka the shirts that just had a verse on them or something) if he wants to wear christian themed shirts. However, I laugh whenever I think of a segment on WWE Confidential (RIP) when Shawn said (not verbatim) "Its going to be weird in a few years when I have to explain all the stuff I did then to my kids."

I would rather he not sell such merchandise...

Woah woah woah woah woah...

...Who said that all Christians were join us or burn types?

I never did, and even if you target my "Brain Dead JEsus Freaks" comment, which was attacking the stupid fucks who celebrate this shit, not Christians in general, that still never made any allegations of "Join us or Burn."

TS6 has his panties in a wad, and has just gone out of his way to assume that people here are totally against Christianity. :y: You're agreeing with a straw man argument which holds no real basis in this argument.

I never said anybody said that. I was just speaking in general terms.

I mean one second he's telling us to suck it another, he's a born-again christian

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to egoslam again.

Sean O'Hare is the man!

The problem is you're agreeing with a very limited scope of an argument almost as narrow as the ficticious group of people he was arguing against.

TS6 ran wild with assumptions, without even understanding the argument of the people who had done something so wrong.

I'm not bothered by Christianity. I've offered up much respect for the values of Christians, even on this site. People will go out of their way to try and make it out into the worst possible thing, but it's bullshit.

The problem I have is with certain groups of Christians. The ones honoring Michaels, by default, are more or less the same assholes who will buy anything with "Christian" rock on it. I've seen Christians by occult/pagan items, simply because they turned their brains off the minute they entered a Christian shop. :lol:

Christian atheletes groups are part of the whole "christian X" groups I have a problem with. Ironically the YMCA used to be one.

You know who doesn't understand the religion I'm "bashing?" The millions of "Christian" music lovers who pop in POD and don't understand why "Without Jah, Nothing" is so ironic. The millions of people who use Christ to preach hate and war. The people who segregate themselves by treating Christianity as "above" this world, instead of "apart," as the Bible actually states. For FUCK'S SAKE! Even Pat Roberts gets that, and he thinks there's a dyke conspiracy to promote abortion!

And what bothers me most about Michaels isn't his attitude (Though he's had problems even recently, we don't need to go back to before he "found God"), it's the fact that he's selling offensive Merchandise. It's offensive because he's cashing in on Christ. Nut naw. I'm anti-Christian instead. It's the cross that bothers me, not the merchandising of religion, or these organisations that are pointless, or the need to segregate yourself to actually get recognised (especially for Michaels, but hey, he likes to milk Jesus, so he probably welcomes this).

Fast fact: Virginity/Abstinence Pledges, comonly sponsored by Christian groups to try and get kids to have less sex, actually do not decrease the number of STDs these young Christians get, and increase the instances of oral and anal sex among those who take the pledges.

So it makes perfect sense that he was telling us to "suck it." It's the only way we're supposed to do that sort of thing before we're married in the eyes of God.

Highy interllectual - Somthing I'll never be

I don't know. If I was that smart, I probably wouldn't be bringing up abstience pledges on a wrestling board.

In other news... I have so much to say here.... But, I don't want to get lynched by the "brain dead Jesus freaks" (thanks KK).

....Ahhh, hell, who am I kidd... LETS START A RIOT!

It said in the bible, (not verbatim) "If you are fasting, do not decline to groom yourself. Wear your best robe, go out and greet the world." I think that this can be directly applied to bible thumpers, and even people who wear religious shirts. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. If you are a good Christian, people will be able to tell by what you do, not what you wear or what you say. Christianity has become a fad, and that sickens me.

If this is true, then why have there been 3 (debatably 4) crusades? Is that because Christianity is all about accepting people who are different? I think not. Its because throughout history, Christianity has been about converting everyone, smiting the wicked (ie anyone who is different), and controlling anything they can. Want to argue? Lets talk about the inquisition then!

Basically, Christianity (largely those who Find Jesus or are Born Again... or anyone who is blindly obsessive) works on a McCarthyistic principal. (McCarthyism = "Big lie Theory" = Tell a big enough lie, to enough people, and eventually they'll believe it) McCarthy is translated to Christianity by people thumping their Bibles loud enough, or wearing enough Religious Based clothing that the fact that they "look" like good Christians will hide the fact that they are "NOT" good Christians.

I have no problem with religion. But I completely loathe people who try to push anything ANYTHING on another person.

Its ok, I'm Catholic. Therefore I'm right.
