San Diego St. RB Adam Muema leaves the combine for "religious reasons"

"You guys really shouldn't judge!!!! Who the hell do you think you are questioning his beliefs and calling him a 'nut-job'?!?!?"

;) ;) ;)

All religions should be laughed at.

Even funnier are those who scoff at religion constantly yet can't seem to think about anything but.

Those who constantly think about it? You mean those who see it in the title of the thread?

Before I post anything, I have to re-iterate for the 1,000th time (because idiotic people take EVERYTHING out of context), I have ZERO beef with religion. As long as you're a decent person, provide for your family and don't cause harm to others, you could pray to shoe for all I care. No problem with religion what so ever.

 

That being said, when are nutjobs like this guy going to be held accountable for sh*t that they say? Whether god "told him", or he had a dream about it, or whatever fake excuse he's going to use, when is it ok to tell these people to fug off? Hey Adam Muema, guess what? You weren't drafted by the Seahawks. In fact, you weren't drafted at all. So which reason is it? Is god fake? did he lie to you? or maybe.... JUST MAYBE you were full of sh*t and didnt feel like working out at the combine that day and chose an excuse that you knew the media couldn't critique you on? excuse my ignorance, but I'm going to go with that latter. Clearly what god told you didn't happen. so whats the excuse? Id love to hear him explain in great detail about God's "new plan for him". Cuz apparently God changed his mind on draft night. 

 

Muema can join the likes of guys like Harold Camping (who incorrectly predicted the end of the world TWICE, based on his "religious findings"), and 10th century Greek emperors who used religion to con the poorer people into giving them everything they want. And be shamed due to their fake actions. It's been mentioned earlier in the thread that perhaps Muema has some mental illness (wow....shocker), in which case I do feel bad for the guy and wish him the best in whatever he chooses to do with the rest of his life. I wish him no ill will whatsoever, but he completely got what he deserved and should learn to keep religion out of his mouth when hes looking for a cheap excuse out of something. 

 

That is all. Now those Huddler's who struggle with reading comprehension can turn my post into "religion bashing" and have a blast padding themselves on the back.

How do you propose we hold him accountable for his actions?

Muema got most of his punishment by not being drafted. The same sh*t that would happen to you during a job interview (which is essentially what the combine is), if right before your meeting you announce "Yeah sorry guys. God told me not to talk to you today. But it's ok, he said I'd be hired by the #1 company in the world anyway! :)"

 

But as I said, ALL guys like him need to be held accountable. You want to spew nonsense? Fine. You better be right. Go on national TV screaming at the top of your lungs about the end of the world coming on May 21st, 2011. Calling everyone "sinners" and how 99% of society are all going to hell. But on that day, the heavens better open up, or i want a camera and microphone shoved in your face and you deserve every ounce of ridicule and shame you get

 

 

 

edit- Got the Harold Camping "End of World Part 2" date wrong. It was 2011, not 2001.

You seem to only have a problem with the religious nutjobs.

 

Or is it that you believe that the nutjobs are only religious?

Muema made his claims based soley on religion. Therefore, i made the connection to another guy making wrong religious predictions.

Its not hard math to do.

So he'd rather get his brains beat in for boxing and MMA and make less money?

[carolinarolls]

the vast majority of people, even those that consider themselves to be "religious" have little to no idea whatsoever about the theology that supports and/or defines the source of their faith.

Its unfortunate but most religions are based on what some person interprets and forcefeeds to his "flock". Truth is regularly compromised and often bastardized.

Most people are sheep. They may be mindless drones under the conrol of the local baptist minister with a warped sense of reality or sheep who have heard time and time again the "science to support" quips from edgy hipsters and morally questionable self-promoters. In either case, they are still sheep

It is quite believable that in this day and time this kid has construed in his mind some sort of belief that is behind his actions. It is also possible that since religion is so polarizing among the public and media that this is all a ploy. In reality, the interpretations of religion, faith, demoninations, and theolgy of Christianity alone virtually disallow any sound judgement from any one body of believers/nonbelievers. Not to mention some of the other major religions of the world and their resectful splintered sects of devout followers.

Most people confuse religion with faith. Did this kid have faith that his decision was sound based on something from a higher power? Maybe so. Its really not for others to judge something that goes on inside of another persons head and is essentially harmless to the public.

What most fail to realize is that it takes the same amount of faith to poo poo religion as it does to accept it. So what do the detractors really prove when they make fun of something they A- Don't understand and B- Are devoting similar faith-based effort just to be the glaring opposition.

Im not particularly religious myself but I just find it stupid to make fun of it. It takes as much faith to not believe as it does to believe.

A lot of anti-religious public speakers (Christopher Hitchens) claim that there are two types of religious people in the world, those who believe in god (those who are most likely missing that logic filter in the brain) and those who belief in the belief of god (those who kind of treat religion as an insurance policy for the afterlife).

A lot of the "religious nutjobs" actually suffer from mental disorders that go untreated due to their extreme faith and false religious contexts that prevent them from getting proper treatment.

I have no problem saying that religion is the base of everything wrong world wide. Take Catholics missionaries going to communities in Africa for example. Despite being heavily infested with HIV, Catholics still claim that using a condom will cause you to go to hell. So in a catholic world, it's ok to be born with aids and die as a child as long as your seamen is not misused....

Religion also restricts critical thinking among children and adults while discouraging research into science. Two items I value very much.

This shouldn't be about how religions are ruining the world and this kids life, this should be about how sad it is that he needs help and isn't getting any.

Until people admit theres a problem, no one can "help." But everyone is way to politically correct to publicly state this, due to the flame they'll take on social media for "helping" anyone that is associated strongly one way or another about religion/race/sex/etc
