Hard to argue with a WVU education.

I feel like every time I close out flamefans there's some sort of hard system reset and everybody just says the same stuff as if none of the present happened. It's like the internet version of groundhog day.

A. Being gay is fine
B. Here's where the bible says being gay is wrong x y and z
A. Well I interpret it differently
B. Here's why that's dumb
C. But will this help us get into the SEC?
D. You're such an idiot, why would the SEC want Liberty?
A. B?
C. I was obviously joking.
C. Also here's some other posts to derail the discussion. Let's just focus on FCS. FBS talk is too distracting.

There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

A. Being gay is fine...

I was hoping by throwing my opinion in there in a logical and thought out way that I could derail the same 3-4 people from taking over every single thread.

I was wrong.

I probably won't do it again. Not worth it.

gay stuff is very important here on a website that dedicates so many threads to uniforms athletes wear.

Two points. I think SJ is basically correct, except dwelling on impure thoughts is sin. I think it's Matthew 5:27 where Jesus said, if you look at a woman lustfully you have committed adultery in your heart." So in oyher words it's not a sin to have the thought...but it can become a sin to dwell on the thought...

And I think we all struggle with our thoughtlife in different areas...whether it's spending too much time thinking about eating, smoking, sex, money, power, etc. We all have idols.

The second thing I have to say is ESPN released a statement. "We regret that a respectful discussion of personal viewpoints became a distraction to today's news. ESPN is fully committed to diversity and welcome's Jason Collin's announcement".

ESPN should have stopped after the first sentence. They could have just said, "We are sorry that a discussion of a player's personal sexual preferences and others' viewpoints about them became a distraction from our sports news".

Or is ESPN going to make stories out of everyone's sexual lives? I can see it now...player soandso said he is in committed relationships with two women at the same time. How many closet Polagamists are in the NBA...are there any other's in the other professional leagues?

Do you expect the world to act just like Christians or something?? Why do Christians get so angry when the world is acting like....well, the world?

[ALUmnus]

Because the world should repulse you.

[TH Spangler]

I'm not angry .... I'm laughing my tail off at the liberal media ...... Then they will say, laughing at us is not Christian ... Now I'm laughing so hard I'm rolling on the floor.

[thepostman]

Again what do you expect?

What ESPN should have admitted to is that they made a mistake when they let anyone, much less a sports journalist, come on the air to talk about issues relating to religion and sexual orientation. I'm of the opinion that ESPN really shouldn't be allowing anyone to talk about the religious aspect of it no matter if they support Collins sexual orientation or not. A sports network just isn't the place where such a topic should be discussed in such a manner. If they feel like they need to, do it in a manner like Outside the Lines where they can bring in people who are considered experts in the field.
