Raul Neto : new spectacular talent

You know exactly what you're doing. If you were what you claim to be, you would see that how you're going about it is wrong.

I dunno, it's like inviting your friends to your house for dinner, then telling them "You can't talk about anything other than the meal we're about to eat".

Or like the producer telling Daniel Negreanu at the Big Game "You can't talk about anything else other than POKER".

Well.. then the convo is going to be extremely limited, and get boring real quick. In a given conversation, sometimes it leads to other things.. but that's OK, other people will start talking about something else and we'll be right back at the original topic again.

It's not like I'm the only poster here and everyone has to follow my line on thoughts???

You're either the best troll on Earth, or the stupidest person to ever exist.

Can't quite tell yet.
 
It just seems to me that when you talk about religion, people tend to get uncomfortable. Don't really know why....

You do not know why?

I will chime in briefly with why I believe that people tend to get uncomfortable with speaking about religion on a sports internet message board. People get uncomfortable when religion is brought up because a person"s faith is highly personal and a message board is highly impersonal. From my own personal experience, I have come to the realization that a lot of these "topics" that are brought up on JazzFanz (I am speaking about the general discussion board specifically, and this thread which has slid off of the topic of basketball) are highly nuanced and are difficult to adequately convey on an internet message board. I normally avoid these issues on this website because I have found that the responses are often sweeping generalizations, and often are not empathetic with opposing viewpoints.

Personally, I am not uncomfortable with speaking about religion on this message board because I am ashamed that I am a Christian. I am uncomfortable with speaking about my faith on this message board because my faith is so important to me that I would not want it misconstrued as trolling. This board is filled with trolls, duplicate accounts, and about a fifth grade level of humor. I have found it easier to just have fun and vent about my beloved Utah Jazz and Utah Utes, but that's just me.

Yep. Agreed with this.
