Rumours and Stuff

What exactly is the issue with my image? Jesus lives in all of us, even in pissant people like you.

Douiehi is dog shit.

So an upgrade on Dylan Brown this season??

Na, going ok. Definitely top 17 player but depends on price

I'm tired of us shopping at Bi-Lo.

Still good enough to be picked for Origin this year though I guess Billy does have NFI which I have said previously with him not picking the angry Ranga soooooo who knows!

I think he is better than any bench forward we have apart from Walker and Tuivaiti.

Right now he’s better than Tuivaiti and it’s not particularly close. But that’s to be expected. On the right deal for us, Big Papa would be a no brainer.

I'm still hurting over our last 'big' purchase from Canberra.

The only Deity I have faith in is Parra Jesus. He made me feel less guilty and ashamed than any of the others.. I wait and pray for his resurrection . Early October, Parra Park 2027. See yas there either way. Resurrection or KoolAid !

Parramatta Eels sign Josh Papalii for 2014

The young forward will join us next season.

Surely we don’t fall for it again?

Big in biceps small on hair.

Recipe for disaster.

Saying “ungodly shit” isn’t an atheist privilege so that’s a bad analogy. Do you think Christians don’t criticise other religions and say things they would consider “ungodly”?

That's my point. Christians (and Muslims, et al.) understand how important religion is to people. Atheists seem to assume religious people should accept that religious ideas are less important than secular ideas.

I don’t think any religion should be above criticism so yes I think they should be allowed to spout “offensive opinions” where they are the minority. That’s how you hold organisations in power to account.

This is no different to how religious minorities (including Christians) see their struggle against the secular state.

I never said only atheists can express their opinions in public. I’m saying anyone who uses their religious beliefs as a shield to mask their bigotry should be called out. Douhei is a public figure. He’s the one who chose to comment on it.

They aren't 'masking' their bigotry, their worldviews are themselves 'bigoted' according to the secular paradigm. The same way some groups are demonised within the worldview of identity politics.

Bigotry: "the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life"

bigotry

1. the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking…

dictionary.cambridge.org

it’s not about what “views I don’t like”.

It absolutely is. You rail against the bigotry of others while thinking your own bigotry against religious people is logical and just.

Some things are objectively discriminatory.

Plenty of things are, but some of them you don't have a problem with.

People in the past used Christianity to justify slavery.

Anything can be used to justify slavery. It existed long before Christianity, and it was Christians who abolished it.

If it was part of their religious beliefs and I happened to not “like” it then am I impinging on their rights to express their religious views by calling them out? I grew up as a Muslim but I chose to leave the religion as a young adult. In some countries I would be put to death. I guess I shouldn’t call out such shitty behaviour because it would be activating my “atheist shield” or some nonsense?

Everyone should be free to call out shitty behaviour according to their own worldview. This includes Adam Doueihi.

Your Jesus was a Palestinian, brother.

He was Jewish.

BTW, for all the times that you claim that I am virtue signalling, you fish for affirmation twice as much. Like today.

Everyone knows this and know you have make this joint unbearable when you fail to keep your inflated opinion of yourself in check.

Like I said, I couldn’t give a f**k what you think — but I’ll never forget some of the passive aggressive puff pieces you’ve written over the years.

That said, when it comes to footy, you’d have to be one of the dumbest merkins going around with some of your takes and the players and staff you backed.


But the day you preached to all of us about going green — carried on for over a week about the virtues of electric cars — only to admit you drive a fossil fuel-powered car? That was one for the ages. I’ll never forget that.

And look, mocking my religious beliefs doesn’t bother me — not even a bit. But it does surprise me, considering the things you’ve said before about knowing the Serbian way. You do know what we’re like — so why keep poking the bear?

Besides, don’t you have some volunteer soup kitchen duties to do tonight? Parra isn’t playing.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We don’t need faith to make decisions when things are uncertain. Instead, we can rely on evidence, logic, and weighing the risks. Faith often means believing without good reason, which can lead to poor choices

We still need faith that we understand the risks, and that there isn't some important evidence that is unavailable to us. Nobody has enough information for an entire life full of good decisions. Bad luck comes for all of us, and that includes making poor decisions because we thought we understood all the risks.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't complain about that. It is a compliment based on how awesome we are. Similar to how everyone likes to try to lay the boot into sports teams that are awesome and keep winning time and time again.
We just need to keep being awesome and classy and keep help the needy out as much as possible when we can.
Get off social media etc if you can't laugh the "criticism" off.

Criticism is fine. The problem is that some people are protected from criticism, which isn't healthy for anyone. Criticism is how we grow.

I’m trying to read between the lines here. Have we signed Jesus Papalii?

 

[Cumberland Eel]

We did but the bastard reneged! MON shouldn’t have allowed the 40 days & nights cooling off period ffs!!

 

[Avenger]

@Poupou Escobar making plenty of sense. Easily best on forums, tonight.

This post will make it easier to clean the pipes tomorrow before my hot date.

Glorious!!

No to him as well as Papali'i. It would go against where JR is trying to head with this team, imo.

Agree. But if it's due to a gun junior being ready 12mths later then it's an option I am happy with.

We just signed a 34 year old from the Dragons. Not sure if that goes against it
