Levine: Cubs will try for Church through waivers p.18

[Sammy Sofa]

He is also extremely militant in his religion from what I remember. Being devout is fine and all, but one cannot expect every one to think like oneself.

 

I think that is where some of the clubhouse problems stem from.

 

Is that solely based on the story about his Jewish ex-girlfriend, or is there more to it?

 

There have been rumblings that he fought in the crusades.

 

I think it was the children's crusade.

 

No, I read that he was postheletizing in the clubhouse or something.

 

I'll see if I can dig it up

Yeah, not wise. I would imagine if Church tried that in a locker room full of vets like Lee, Floyd, Soriano, and ARam.......he would find himself getting the verbal smackdown awfully quick.

 

or a physical smackdown from a certain pitcher

 

Something tells me Z might be pretty passionate about his prayin', too.

That was the story I was referring to. I think it was Church being naive and listening to whatever the chaplain told him. It's quite likely he still believes that, but the way he was quoted regarding the situation he sounded almost innocent about the situation. Something along the lines of "Wow I didn't realize that Jewish people are condemned like that. If only they knew better."

Also, I think people need to make a distinction between talking about one's faith and proselytizing. Nobody has said this but it seems like some people think you shouldn't be allowed to talk about it, which is ridiculous.

 

You should not talk religion in the workplace, ever.

What if you're a priest? :D

You can overlook a little bit as long as it doesn't get out of hand.

Agreed. Potentially divisive subject matter isn't good for the workplace environment.

 

Politics and Religion are big no-no's for me.

 

Politics, religion and money should never be discussed in mixed company.

 

I just avoid it. It's not worth it.

 

Instead, I come here and bash heads with you guys & gals 8-)

Or if you teach at a church-related university (like I do).

The three things you should not discuss in mixed company are politics, religion, money and sexual conquests...

 

The four...among the things you should not discuss in mixed company...

Does that mean Republicans can't campaign anymore?

Are you suggesting David Vitter is Jesus?

What has happened to this thread? It seems like every other page is off topic. Can we keep the focus on the potential acquisition of Ryan Church?
