And saying the God of the Jews is not the God of Christ and Christians is arrant nonsense.

It is as big as NHL, NFL and NBL combined. I also need to be able to talk hunting and how the pasture is growing, which is what farmers talk about.”

I can talk a bit about hunting, not much, but enough; and I can always talk about crops, growing conditions, what the weather is doing, with farmers…

There are also many other things I can converse on: culture, history, war, monarchy, and much more.

So, I figure I can therefore get away with talking as little about sports as possible, if I can steer the convo away from it gently as it happens. :) If not, then I’ll explain part of my lack of interest in sport, springing from how much athletes in many sports are overpaid, and underperform…

Jesus noted that the Pharisees sat on the seat of Moses. That is, he stated that they interpreted the Torah licitly. The Pharisees became the people who wrote the Talmud.

And you are wrong about the incarnation. Or I am wrong. Because if Jesus was just some kind of man, all of this theology is a set of delusions.

The christian god didn’t save the people of Israel. Christianity and talmudic judaism are two totally different religions with two different gods. Judaism has a tribal god- a god that jews created for their own people. In fact, judaism says that jesus is boiling in feces in hell and that mary was a whore who had sex with a roman soldier.

I never keep up with games just because even though I’m interested in it, I’m not THAT interested in it.

I’m more fascinated with hunting and firearms. That’s the kind of stuff I go on about to bore you :)

Ick; why?

I don’t care much for sports, so I don’t follow them. I find if someone turns a convo to sports, in a pub, say, I can usually just let them talk, and nod and grunt affirmatively – like you do when a woman is prattling on about some dull topic you don’t care about, pretending to listen or care, you know.

But I have enough other interests in all different sorts of things – music, pop culture, movies, TV (even though I haven’t watched much TV in years, I can still discuss anything from before late 2004, and even a bit about some shows from since then), politics, religion, manosphere issues, travel, ethnic / racial matters – that I find I can talk with anyone about pretty much everything other than sports.

I see no reason to keep up with something I have no interest in, just to try to have something in common with someone else. I have enough interests to generally be able to do so with anyone who isn’t a pure sports fanatic. Even a retard at my local watering hole, I can find things to chat about with; he’s actually fairly bright for a developmentally challenged guy, and I don’t let him keep the convo on sports for very long. :)

Pretending to like a sport just so you can relate to someone about it, strikes me as being akin to those Christians who throw Superbowl parties, but don’t give a fuck about football otherwise; they are so phony, they’re transparent. I knew some of those in uni; what a joke they were.

Rugby is a secular religion here. It is as big as NHL, NFL and NBL combined. I also need to be able to talk hunting and how the pasture is growing, which is what farmers talk about.

And it’s been proved, many Natives really were savages. Some were so wise, so natural, and seemed touched by God even though they didn’t know His name; they were wiser than the men who claimed to obey Him. But others were cannibalistic, violent, sadistic, life-wrecking plagues on their lands and others. Without Him, we can do nothing.
