Two TCU players arrested for a felony.

[Plainosooner]

It happened before their game against Stephen F Austin nine days ago.

The accusation is that they beat up another TCU student to take a case of beer. Starting defensive end Mike Tuaua and back up receiver Andres Pettes-Wilson.

I thought that was a Christian school?

I thought that was a Christian school?

Pfft, so is Baylor...yet in the early 2000s a BB player was murdered by another BB player.

Everything is up for grabs these days.

Trust...but verify.

 

[CTOkie]

I thought that was a Christian school?

No it isn't.....and neither is Baylor.....as far as athletes go.

 

[Sooners83]

I thought that was a Christian school?

So is Baylor...but they had an assistant coach on the TU sideline....

 

[veritas59]

Makes me long for the days when schools like Notre Dame suited up those good ol' Irish Catholics.... like Raghib Ismael.

 

[barkingwater2000]

I thought that was a Christian school?

And you think that everyone that goes there is a Christian? Its not a requirement

 

[KCtornado]

Pretty soon the TCU Kicker will suit up as a DT....jeezo TCU. It's hard to compare TCU to Baylor....for now they sit smugly in the Top 5 with a brittle foundation and rattling skeletons in the closet.

 

[PtLavacaSooner]

Article states that the two were accused, provides no witness statements or confessions of the accused. To come to the conclusion that they indeed committed a felony is premature at best.

 

[Plainosooner]

That's a reasonable reminder. I changed my post to say they were accused.

 

[gsxrace01]

And you think that everyone that goes there is a Christian? Its not a requirement

they been forgiven already shut your pie hole.

 

[soonerfastnloud]

Even if they are Christian, doesn't mean they are without FELONIES, lol

 

[gsxrace01]

[BillyRay]

Keystone Light?? For Christ's sake at least beat up someone with some good beer. Hahah

 

[Yankees03]

Poor gsx....must be a miserable life. He is obsessed with something he said doesn't exist. Ha-ha. Then again he is just a dopehead, should I really care what he says or thinks? He doesn't even obey the law

 

[PtLavacaSooner]

We'll... do you ever drive 65 mph in a 55 or 60 mph zone? If so, aren't you breaking the law as well? Or maybe the one who is without sin should cast the first stone...

All my life I have seen many so-called Christians "talking the talk", but never "walking the walk". The game of football reveals a lot of such hypocrisy....and often is a religion to many.

To be fair, I have also seen many non Christians talk the talk but not walk the walk. Hypocrisy does not apply to only one group of people.

True, but I am not referring to them in this thread.

Show me any Christian who says he/she has never failed to walk the walk, and I'll show you a liar. If Christians were perfect, they wouldn't constantly be in need of a Savior. They would be able to save themselves.

"It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners..." said the greatest man to ever walk this Earth.

Christians understand this... and are beyond grateful.

 

[PtLavacaSooner]

Show me the wealthy preacher behind the pulpit preaching prosperity while begging for your donations and I'll show you a liar and a deceiver.
Oh, the 41,000+ sects/denominations of so called Christian churches should be enough... yet someone will create a new one tomorrow.

Yep, tax exempt status, sad, lonely women hanging onto your every word...that kind of power has to be a little bit intoxicating.
However, no way are all those guys are corrupted...no way.

As I said, atheism is a religion that requires great faith. Guess that is why there are so few.

 

[CTOkie]

Atheism is not a religion....if it was, then baldness is a hair color or abstinence is a sexual position.
There is not a common belief system in atheism. There's no atheist scripture. There is no atheist pope. Basically, it is a non-belief in God (or gods) or things and events that are regarded as supernatural, yet it is a belief in morality and compassion....in the absence of the existence of a deity.

 

[Plainosooner]

I suspect that most believers I know, have feelings of distrust of the prosperity theology preachers on tv that gsxrace does. But I agree with another post above, saying that you can't paint that broad a brush so broad to include everybody who does it.

On the atheism as a religion, I'd vote yes on that for a couple of reasons. It is a religious view. And I'm certain it takes more faith to hold that position than it does to believe what I believe.

OUr existence screams design. And all the evidence we have about how creation functions, would exclude not having God. When you hear the absurdity of those, confronted with the contradictions of believing that there used to be nothing, and out of that came not just things, but life and love and sex? It's beyond preposterous. They are more willing to believe that aliens from other worlds planted us here. And of course the same problems arise from the existence of the aliens. But for the God haters, that is without any foundation, but more believable for them, than the God who communicated with us, in our limited ability to comprehend compared to Him.

It's not that in life, that I guess gsx thinks, that somehow an amoeba came to be out of non living goo, and then we somehow came to be from that. But that the complementary person, either the female or the male also only needed several billion years to make it happen. It takes a whole lot more faith to believe that. (And he has no possible explanation for the goo.)

I mean for generation two to happen, then the parents of generation one had to be perfectly there at the same time in history and place. Her eggs had to be sitting there waiting to be fertilized when his sperm know just how to get there.

And even the great atheist Stephen J Gould recognized and admitted in some later writings that marco evolution is not in the fossil record. He just knew that it had to be true, because he'd already presupposed that God was a figment of some long ago imagination.

Atheism has become the official religion of the United States government. And I know what the Constitution is supposed to say about that.

 

[gsxrace01]

why can't christians get this through there head? Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State.

 

[Schoonerman]

Well, this thread has certainly gotten derailed. Funny how politics and religion bring out the best oand worst in all of us.

Okay, back to the pissing match.....

Liberal justices dredged that up from Jefferson's letters coming from the opposite direction and you already know that. the idea that the writers and ideas of the Constitution had any contemplation of excluding God is absurd also.

The idea that the framers intended some future culture where the vilest forms of sexual expression as entertainment, fall under free speech, but a biology teacher mentioning the possibility of design and therefore designer being prohibited would seem to be the opposite of your quote. It is a tyranny intended to be illegal to prohibit the biology teacher from speaking the truth. But liberal justices frequently do the role of the legislature, and the legislature was not supposed to prohibit the free exercise. Liberals think that it is okay for the justices to do it.

The establishment clause was designed to not allow the government to give preference to Baptist over the old style equivalent of Episcopals. Or more importantly, protestant over Catholic or the reverse of that. It was about not allowing the horrible impact of then recent British history.

Where did the Declaration say these rights came from? That was really the first document of the new nation. To think that the framers intended to exclude The Creator, is the highest form of history reforming prejudice. But you are full of it.

 

[Yankees03]

I usually walk away from these threads feeling sorry for gsx

 

[gsxrace01]

T/J was a smart m/f History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.

lol what a load of crap. Atheism is a belief system and a very strong one at that. People that get sucked into it usually have a hard time getting out...although some eventually do
