people misrepresenting atheism in the thread

Nah Dawkins at least has some formal training.

How was church this weekend Frank?

Any how I think beave touched on it earlier.
Will must get around 25-30k per game.
Once his church sees the coin they're missing out on im sure there will be some rule bending.

Richard Dawkins in an evolutionary biologist and has training in ethics. Dawkins deals in scientific evidence, reason, logic and the testing of evidence. He rejects mythology. Scientific research is teaching us more and more about the universe and rapidly, eg; curing cancer and so much more. Abbott cut funding to the CSIRO, he's a beliver. The church hates progress.

So nothing remotely evidence based that can be put before the scientific community to assess the 'evidence' put forward then ? Who'da thought.................

Unbelievably, a bloke has a belief (I don't care what that is) to stand by his faith and is getting verbally belted by posters.

You pricks are the stone throwers in history.

Good luck to him for having the nutz to stand by what he believes in.

I wonder if these issues were brought up when his manager was discussing his contract or only after it was signed? Surely the Dogs should be not paying him when this affects them.

Ad hominem attacks. :lol:

I don't think people are attacking your beliefs champ, more your incessant need to tell us of your beliefs

 

[Bretto]

I don't think people are attacking your beliefs champ, more your incessant need to tell us of your beliefs

Ad hominem means directing focus on the person rather than their ideas.

By the way, if people wouldn't misrepresent my ideas, then I wouldn't need to reiterate and explain them time after time.

 

[dogslife]

I think you missed the point I and a few others have been trying to make then.

But if claiming martyr status makes you feel at ease, go for it.

This how religion infects things, next more religious players will come forward not wanting to play Sunday, games will get shifted to saturday then seventh day Adventists won't play on that day. Nrl will get accused of intolerance if they don't accommodate, before you know all games will be played during the week.
I work with a religious piece of slime that won't work sundown Friday to sundown Saturday so he never has his turn at night shift, there nothing but stains on society and we should change nothing for them.

Amazed immaculate conception didn't get a mention.

Does Parra Jesus still go to games? Does he attend matches on Sundays or can he do what he wants cos he's you know, Jesus.

the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary being conceived free from original sin

you might be thinking of the Virgin Birth

 

[typicalfan]

Just don't pay him on sundays. That way he can do it for fun.

 

[Prometheus]

If he is not going to play ordinary games on Sundays due to his religious convictions then he should be held to those convictions when the finals come around and be ineligible to play in any Sunday finals or the Grand Final.
