Pagan league looking for players

Arlie Latham · 01-10-2005, 05:06 PM

I'm running a league that only worshippers of the classical gods, island deities or outright atheists participate in. These ballplayers play on Sunday and everything! They do not thank Jesus after a home run, but do curse Jobu if he makes curve balls miss the bat too much. The Cthulu team is the world champ three years running, since an overwhelming sense of fear and madness grips opposing players when facing the Cthulu squad in the playoffs

Why am I reminded of Major League for some reason?

By people mocking Chrisitans (this post is mocking the Christian OOTP league thread) it just confirms our faith even more because The Lord said that we (Chrisitans, followers of Christ) would be persecuted because of him:

Matthew 5:11“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...205&version=31

I will be praying for you though:

Matthew 5:44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...:44&version=31

Oh No! What have I done?

slugger21 · 01-10-2005, 06:01 PM

I was just merely stating that by ridiculing Christians you only strengthen us in our faith so I don't see a point in it.

slambango · 01-10-2005, 06:21 PM

I'll join!

You should make every member write 100 words denouncing Jesus as a liar, scumbag, homless psycopath, leader of a rebel gang of thugs... that kinda stuff. No Xian worth his salt would pass!

disposableheros · 01-10-2005, 06:44 PM

completely uncalled for. what a bunch of a$$holes.

the guy just wants to join a league with people who have something in common with him.

take your christian bashing to OT

I'm looking for a league where all the owners are stamp collectors who are into powerlifting and table tennis. Anybody know if there are any leagues like that?

Would it get this thread closed if I said that Christians around here sure are thin-skinned?

canadiancreed · 01-10-2005, 07:20 PM

depends on which one you refer too.

so far i've only seen a few

myself I dont get why youd' need a certain faith to play a game, but I never understood the point of it all

atarizx3 · 01-10-2005, 07:22 PM

wow.

canadiancreed · 01-10-2005, 07:23 PM

to the original point of this thread, are you having any luck?

canadiancreed · 01-10-2005, 08:57 PM

i'm just sad no-one got my movie reference

slugger21 · 01-10-2005, 09:04 PM

I respect everyone's beliefs and would excpect critisism if this were the OT forums but its not its the forum used to discuss OOTP baseball and I was just wondering if there were any Christian leagues around, I recall someone asking fora French league the other day so what is the difference. I would just like to state that I am not thin-skinned I just didn't think that this was the forum to bash others on. Once again I respect everyone's beliefs and just want to play some OOTP so lets play ball!
