Welcome to two days ago.

While in high school Matt already went on two missions with his church. One to Mexico to help the needy and one to Africa. He takes church very seriously as he does helping people in need. He has also started a church service for the team with the help of CJ Gable that they do not talk about for publicity. He is always trying to help and a true team leader.

I think the problem some people have with others that do good charity work is that it so often is done in the name of the church, their particular church, so it comes off as a form of proselytizing.

If they would simply do the good works in their name only there probably wouldn’t be a problem

haha, your QB believes in Jeebus.

NJ Trojan: Nebraska had a couple of great teams in 94 & 95. That reputation helped them in 97 with a lesser unit. Michigan had bigger margins of victory over 2 common opponents, (Colorado & Baylor) and played Notre Dame in non-conference while Nebraska played Akron. I believe Nebraska had the miracle win against Missouri that year as well. I thought Michigan was the better team that year and should not have shared the title.

How disappointing it is to read the comments posted by some of you USC supporters and or haters. It is obvious that some of you don’t believe in God and are the sons of Satan.

To Lawyer John, when one believes in Christ (God in the Flesh) one does not do good deeds to for him/herself so that people can say “what a great guy he is” NO, you do it in the name of Jesus, for the glory belongs to Jesus, of it is Jesus that deserves all the Glory for He gave himself to sacrifice so that any who call upon his name will be saved.

Speedjones, How dare you!! If you don’t believe in Jesus, that is YOUR problem but don’t knock Barkley for doing something out of love for humanity and for wanting to help those less fortunate.

Shame on you people.

@SECTION 12 ROW 52: Thanks for responding. I was at the USC-Penn State game in 94, and lived in PA that year. I came away thinking that the Lions should have won the NC over the “Huskers. And I agree, Michigan was the better team. I thought the ‘Huskers only won a piece of the NC in 97 because of Osborne’ good guy image.

TrojanInVenice, why does Barkley have to Africa or South america? because those regions of the world don’t have the gospel of Jesus the way we do here in the states. We have the word of God being taught in many churches all over town, while Many of those countries are pagan and need the word of God to be taught, that is why there are so many missionaries.

If you’re a diciple of Jesus you must follow his commandments which say “go to all corners of the world and teach his word” NOT “cramming” his religion down people’s throat as you put it. Noone has to accept it, you have the option to reject it as well.

In many countries such as China, or North Korea people have underground Bible studies because the government prohibits Christianity to be taught.

Barkley, bravo!!!

haha, looks like trogans are dopes twice over… first they pay way too much for an average education and then they believe in the imaginary man in the sky. Personally, I’m a member of Peter Griffin’s Church of the Fonz. Heeeeyyyyyyy!

FROM THE DESK OF RALPH VON ALBERTSON, ESQ.:

NDLarry, your deranged rant was most amusing. By all means, preach on! Our nation’s churches are indeed vital institutions, and the many clients I have gained at Saint Nigel Episcopal of Hancock Park have more than made up for the many hours I have spent suffering through the reverend’s tiresome sermonizing.

Nonetheless, I must add that although I have no particular fondness for the Papacy, it is a sad day when an alumnus of a proud Catholic institution like Notre Dame seems to have turned instead to second-rate con men like Glenn Beck and Pat Robertson for his theology.

NDLarry, here is a Sunday school lesson for you: while you and your hillbilly brethren are being swindled into squandering your money on Glenn Beck’s gold coins, I have entrusted my financial health to a shrewd, Stanford-educated Hebrew. Just as Jesus was able to feed the masses with a few loaves and fishes, so too does my pork-avoiding accountant multiply my assets with near-magical ability. God bless His chosen people!

In any event, as embarrassing as your gibberish may be for your fellow Catholics, I do hope that your foolishness is typical among Notre Dame men these days, as such slow-witted dolts shall fall before Stanford’s linemen like wheat before the scythe.

And by the way, NDLarry, I have followed your back-and-forth with Mr. NOBS, and I must say, I do not believe that you have the funds to accept his bet.

Best regards to the rest of you,

Ralph Von Albertson, Esq., Stanford ’95, ’99

(dictated but not read)

@The Gipper: C’mon Randy…are you and the ‘possum going to let Ralph Von Albertson, Esq., Stanford ’95, ’99, get away with that fancy smack talk? What’s Teo going to do to Luck?

Now feeling sorry for our Catholic friend from ND who, despite all his churchie studies, apparently doesn’t even know the basic facts of Islam, the world’s 2nd largest religion. I have to assume there were religious studies courses at ND – shame Catholics don’t actually take them.

and cheats, and gets sanctioned, and pretends it loses its cell phone after other programs try to “illegally recruit” it…

I will take will respond to your question tomorrow…class dismissed!!

Wow. This thread has some of the most insane stuff I have ever seen on this blog. NDLarry, I don’t think you even went to Notre Dame. The Catholics I know are not ignorant bigots like you. Whatever the sad state of its football team may be, Notre Dame is a respected university, and it does not promote the utter nonsense that you have embarrassed yourself with in your posts.

Who do you know who has a microchip implanted in their bodies? I can think of only one individual, and that would be my dog. On this subject, you are a paranoid, misinformed buffoon.

Islam is being “taught in our schools”? What baloney. While Islam may be discussed in social studies, geography, history, or comparative religion classes, the idea that American students are being indoctrinated into Islam is sheer fantasy. Meanwhile, thousands of private Christian schools exist in our country, and the vast, vast majority of public school students are Christian as well. On this subject also, you are a paranoid, misinformed buffoon.

American Muslims have an average of 7 children per family? Muslims are now majorities in the U.K. and France? Why don’t you provide us with the sources of these dubious statistics? Good luck — you have spewed a bunch of make-believe garbage. On these subjects as well, you are a paranoid, misinformed buffoon.

I believe “the marxist” was making the point that you are blaming all Muslims across the globe for the actions of individual Muslim terrorists, yet you do not condemn Christianity based on the crimes of individual Christian murderers, such as the Nazis, Timothy McVeigh, or, to add an example, the Spanish Inquisition (who were rather rough on the Jews). Clearly, you cannot think critically about the vile malarkey you have posted, because you are blinded by your own paranoia, bigotry, and ignorance.

I wonder if you have ever had a Muslim friend or co-worker. I wonder if you have ever eaten dinner with a Muslim. When I was a teenager in Indiana, one of my friends in high school was a Muslim, and when I think of your outrageous accusations applied to her and to her family, I feel very sad that some of my fellow Americans are swallowing such hateful, moronic idiocy.

“NDLarry,” whatever your real name may be, if the good people at Notre Dame could see what you are writing on this blog in their name, they would beg you to stop. You are embarrassing yourself and the university you claim to represent. You should be ashamed of yourself.

And yes, this post is full of name-calling, because you have proven that you deserve to be called names, and those names are: idiot, racist, bigot, and ignorant, superstitious fool.

And by the way, even an idiot as moronic as yourself should know that Notre Dame is going to get slaughtered at the Coliseum this year.

Speedjones, science? LOL it take 1000 times more faith to believe that and it does in a creator. It’s like like saying that you were standing outside of the Nokia center and there would be a huge explosion across the street and when the smoke cleared poof! there is the Staples Center!! no, the staples center was created, and so is our existence…male/female, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, etc. The theory of science is for idiots, I suppose you think Jesus never existed?

speed, that is your opinion and you’re free to believe what you choose, fine. I don’t believe in any religions, Chirstianity is not a religion, it is having a persobal relationship with Jesus. How would I be worse off than you for worshipping a false God? Anyhoo, this will be my last post on religion. Now back to football, I sure hope UCLA beats the trOJies this year and you just might, becuase after my boys are going to take the air out of them.

You’ve said it!! worshiping a false God is a sin. I worship the True God Jesus Christ…I win, you lose.

NDLarry, you claim that you never said all Muslims were bad people. Well, let’s review what you DID say:

“No I don’t support Pagan religions like Islam, I don’t support any religion that crashes airplanes into tall buildingw and kills thousands of innocent civilians in the name of “allah”[.]”

“I don’t support a religion that has has a passion to blow up two countries from the face of the earth, Israel, and the United States[.]”

“who “beheads” infidels? yup! the Muslims”

“if not for Latino Americans having an average of 3 children per family, the Muslim population would outnumber us in 30 years…in 1975 there were only 12 Masques in the country, today there are over 4000 and growing every day. In England and France the Muslims now are the majority. We are living in the last days.”

Yeah, I guess you’re right — why on earth would a Muslim get the idea that you had an issue with Muslim people?

Other than that, you ignored all my other points/questions and resorted to using profanities. You make a real classy ambassador for Christ.

Thankfully, most Christians are humane, decent people, not paranoid clowns obsessed with microchips, the Rapture, and Muslim fertility rates.

Cafe 84,
Many Bible scholars and theologians believe that the mark of the beast “666″ that will be placed on the right hand or on forehead, is a microchip. In many years past before the computer age “666″ might have been hard to figure out, but not anymore. The computer chip is being used in many parts of the world already, but being used mostly on pets.

At the Geneva conventions, top security corporations have introduced the idea of using it on humans because of the widespread of identity theft, and have also proposed to use it for the elderly in which that chip would contain all their personal information that includes but not limited to SS#, bank accounts, and specially their medications, because there are a lot of our seniors with Alzheimer’s decease that wander off and need medication, as well as those that pass out because they’re diabetic and their sugar level has dropped, etc.

With a chip inserted on humans there would be no need for cash, we are headed in the direction of a cashless society. As you know in Europe, there is now the Euro. I could go on and on. I recommend you read the book of Revelation, but specially attend a Bible teaching church where you can learn what the prophets prophesied and how most of the prophecies have come to pass. Even if you’re not a believer, you will blow your mind at how precise the Bible is, specially right at this time and age, it’s crazy.

Spedjones,
What i’m trying to say is that each country in Europe had their own currency, and now they have one, the “Euro”, just as you free to travel in Europe with one passport.

Eventually the whole world will have one currency, once the chip is in place under the “one world government”, religion, etc., since it will be a cashless society, if you don’t have the “chip” you’re shit out of luck, you won’t be able to but, sell, trade, etc. this will be during the 7 year tribulation which are the hardest times this world has ever seen, or will see…the last 7 years, before the great battle of Armageddon which is when Jesus will make his second appearance, but this time he’s coming to rescue Israel as Iraq, Iran, and all the Muslim nations along with Russia, China, and every nation in that region will come to Israel to wipe them out, Jesus will come and destroy all those and the bible says there will be 280 mile square five feet deep with men’s blood.

There will be men with “special suits” picking up all the bodies because those bodies have been contaminated, hmmmm. Two thousand years ago, this would not make sense when you read that in the Bible, but today it’s very clear what that passage means…could it be because of all the radioactive materials from Nuclear weapons used in that war? isn’t that what Iran is threatening to do now to Israel?

The union of the European nations as “one” is prophesied in the Bible, scholars have indicated that it is the revival of the old Roman Empire, and out of this empire one King will be elected by the world’s nations as the “King” and the king will end up being the “antiChrist” and that antiChrist will appoint the religious leader “false prophet” and the whole world will be deceived by the “beast” who controls the 1. antichrist 2. false prophet the three form the evil trinity (three) which will rivals the Holy Trinity of 1. God 2. God the Son and 3. the Holy Spirt.

Questions, anyone?

Spedjones,
LOL, thanks for all your replies, let’s just leave it that. Good luck to the Bruins.
