I can just imagine how quickly they're going to back off that rule.

11/4/2006 12:51:42 PM

sounds like the new nba technical policy


It looks pretty goddamn fun tho, where in the name of Christ do I sign up?

^ It's to keep out the blacks and hispanics.

11/4/2006 9:24:24 PM

holy christ on a crutch, that is expensive.

11/5/2006 8:13:22 AM

no shit that is expensive
esp. to drive all the way to four oaks

btw, my home town......yay

11/5/2006 9:43:06 AM

no doubt there's an agenda associated with that fee, as moron said....

You're going to kick people out of the game for using mere words? Retarded imo. How far are you willing to go, anyway? Do "dang" and "darnit" and every other watered-down variant on profanity count as swearing as well?

And the sad thing is that I'm the loser because I'm getting bent out of shape over an activity I won't be participating in anyway.

11/5/2006 11:21:37 AM

For being anti-homosexuality, Christians sure know how to fag up enjoyable activities.

11/5/2006 11:31:10 AM

Well, IT IS a church league.

a lot of leagues penalize for profanity. adam morrison for the NBA bobcats just got a technical last night for swearing at the ref. its not unheard of.

11/5/2006 12:37:46 PM

^There's a difference between simply swearing, and swearing AT the ref.

""It was warranted," he said. "He said `You can't use swear words,' and I said `You're right."'"

sorry, poor wording. he didnt swear AT the ref. the quote is from the game recap.

the point is if even the nba is restricting swearing (this is a new rule just started this year), you cant possibly be surprised a christian-oriented league would.

Is there a passage from the bible that forbids cursing?

No really....I don't know....is there?

Just wondering......

11/5/2006 4:50:41 PM

specifically, you're not supposed to take the Lord's name in vain. for other curse words, though, i don't know.

11/5/2006 5:09:33 PM

^^not that i know of. the only basis i can think of for a christian not cursing is because curse words are considered bad words and using them can give people a negative impression of you. as a christian, you should avoid such things. thats my best interpretation anyway.

my home church built a $2M gym and christian life center

i cant even go into it because i think about how far $2M would go in the community or in a place like Haiti

11/5/2006 9:47:16 PM

yea i went to a nearby church's christmas play and was so disturbed by its extravagance and obvious waste of money that i walked out halfway through.
