That's not what I was trying to do, and that isn't what I said. I just said someone who has faith is something I admire. I never said I didn't admire people who don't have faith. How people reacted to that statement was on them. But I apologize, because in no way did I want to bring any religious or political discussion into a hockey forum. I also didn't want to see it, either. If I did, I would have gone to one of those threads. It is just that there were three great interviews on the sabres.com website, with Blysma, Murray, and Pegula, and the one takeaway was Pegula stated that Blysma was a Christian, and somehow that is the most important thing to question. Hmm... Again, please accept my apology. Aud said he was sorry, I said I was fine and probably overreacted, and then on it went. But oh well...

This made me laugh hard. :lol:

Are you judging me about if I am judging or not?

Yeah, I'll stick to the hockey (and Bills and I guess the concert) threads. Honestly - Dan might be at the World's Largest Disco!

I may admire them for different reasons. Look - I'm not judging anyone. Belief is a choice. We all have free will. I've had people flat out call me stupid for believing in a sky ghost but that's their prerogative. I purposely don't go into the politics thread because I'm here for hockey, but I'm uncomfortable when people want to knock others for having faith. Sorry. Comments about that should have probably been posted there, but what do I know? I'm a newcomer.

I was amazed at the amount of women at the show last night and the attractiveness of many of them myself.

I disagree. That is why we have different religions and different faiths and different opinions. But I have my values and beliefs and it's only natural to admire that in others. But there are many aspects to make me the person I am and the person I want to become and being a Catholic Christian is one of those things. I'm not going to hide or deny that. But I admire people of strong Jewish faith or Christian faith of other denominations as well. I'm not going to apologize for it, either.

Why not? That's your opinion. We all make opinions about people differently than others. Judge not lest you be judged and all that but there are things I definitely admire in people that maybe others don't value the same way.

Interesting. I always thought he deserved a chance with the Jets. He couldn't have been worse than Geno and even Vick last year. Sorry to see Tuel gone, though I know his time was pretty much up. I might be the only one to miss him, though.

No problem. I'm probably a little overly sensitive about that kind of thing myself. Everyone's a little defensive these days. Still, nothing about Disco Dan and the World's Largest Disco?

I'm not shy about attending Mass every Sunday and trying to be a better Christian/Catholic. I don't go around shouting about it - and I would be the last person to hold myself up as any type of example of how you should live your life - but I don't deny it, either. And yes, even though there are tons of hypocrites and bad people who claim to be Christian, and there are wonderful people who don't attend church services, I do tend to view someone with a strong faith a little more favorably than someone who doesn't. I definitely don't feel uncomfortable when someone makes mention that they're a Christian. Not sure why I would.

So, you basically don't understand Christianity. You're not supposed to hide it. Of course, saying you are a Christian, and actually living your life as one are two different things.The whole preach often, and if necessary, use words. I'm a little uncomfortable to where this discussion is going. Sadly, though, this type of antagonistic relationship with Christianity is becoming more common these days. (sigh) And I actually came here because I was excited Duffer asked Dan about the "Disco Dan" nickname and mentioned he's a natural to attend the World's Largest Disco. Good stuff.

I'd be shocked if Eichel doesn't put up better numbers at the combine than McDavid. He's a beast.

It was an amazing show last night! That's a great recap! I actually have a "secret" spot to watch shows there. It works pretty well - I used it for Fleetwood Mac earlier this year and Paul McCartney last fall. I've seen Rush three times going back to 1988 and they sound as amazing as always! I wore my Tragically Hip shirt because I knew someone would notice it and of course got into a friendly argument about coaches with someone in a Leafs jersey. That set list was definitely one for the real fans. I'm glad you got to go!

Doug Whaley's a big Disco Dan fan... http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Dan-Bylsma-has-a-fan-in-the-Bills-football-department/3a10379c-5a28-481a-a218-80c4b9aa4d90?campaign=tw_buf_article

If they are 13 points out with six games left to play, do we want them to lose the last six games? I sure hope not!

He looked delicious at the press conference.

Loved Sekera when he was here.

I love how Murray couldn't resist at the end there. Ha ha ha...

:worthy:

I didn't know this board had a stalker problem... :ph34r:

Seems like a good dude but I hope he can edit his screen name.

You need to see this video. Man - I love Rex. I'm super pumped now!

It would be funny, though, if Blysma had found out the Devils were in the middle of an interview with Boucher and then called them.
