Sabres Fan in NS

It is too bad that an Extremist has to ruin it for everybody. All the rest of us were respectful of each other. When one does not have an open mind there is no hope for reasonable discussion. I have been called worse than terrorist, believe it, or not. An extremist is one who attacks another follower (in this case a Christian and I have to say that over the years @Crosschecking and I have had our disagreements, unfortunaltely not all of them in the politest fashion, which I regret. He and I have matured over the years and I have always viewed him as a good man and a true believer and a Brother ...) for nicely calling the extremist out a little bit, we know this thread is dead. I implore @Eleven not to lock it, but to delete it.

Nice try @Eleven. It was a good thread until it wasn't.

D. Roy in his prime was a point a game guy. So, in spite of all the wrangling on here about him he's my guy. For that 1, or 2, year window for the cup. Samson is my guy. I am a Samson guy.

I swear that this is right and I have seen that movie a thousand times.

I don't remember the exact texts and quotes, sorry. I did find a very good summary by my local Imam ... https://www.whyislam.org/common-ground/mohammed-in-the-bible-jesus-prophecy/

If I recall correctly ... the rabbit won that fight.

Well, so much for being civil. I will not address the post above that was in reply to mine, except to say that I respectfully disagree with all of it. It is accepted widely by most Christians that the Gospels have been altered to meet a narrative. Also, down through the ages Prophets fortold of future Prophets. Moses (PBUH) fortold of Jesus (PBUH) and Jesus (PBUH) fortold of Muhammad (PBUH) and many others. Nice try @Eleven, I am a bit surprised it lasted as long as it did. I wish everyone who is celebrating the day in any way a very Blessed Easter.

That's pretty much it.

An internet hug, my friend.

Oh boy, this COVID-19 thing can't end fast enough. Let's just group hug while the world is coming to an end and worry about paying fopr it later. Now, I suggest that everyone just kiss and make up before it's too late.

@Brawndo and all others on here and all that you are working with that we don't know ... Thank you, so very much for your service. We could not and will not make it through this without you. To quote my Premier ... the rest of us need to do our part and *stay the blazes home*. Thank you.

Terrible. So young.

Patience, my friend, almost is just that. Almost ...

Hello, hello ... is this thing still on? I don't think my Fridays will ever be the same again.

You are correct. The system in Canada is exactly the same as in the US, except in who pays for it and that we usually can't get the needed care / treatments in a reasonable time frame.

I slept like a baby last night for the first time since I was a baby. In bed at mid-night and did not move until noon. 12 hours ... sorry @Eleven

I tend to agree that many things done by people as part of their faith are not really part of the teachings, especially in Christianity. That said, many of the Jewish traditions and strong beliefs (no pork ...) are in the Torah, which are the teachings of Moses (PBUH), which is believed to be delivered to Moses (PBUH) by God, not only by Jews, but by Muslims, as well. The Qur'an commands Muslims fast during the holy month of Ramadan, with clearly outlined exemptions which are far reaching.

Yes. Adapted. The original Christians were devout Jews and did not ever consider Jesus (PBUH) as *God*, or *Son of God*. Jesus (PBUH) never made such a claim. The Trinity idea and the notion of Jesus (PBUH) being divine came considerable time after his death. Very few Christians have not accepted that notion, but there are still some around. The largest sect is in Eygpt, I believe. I did not know that you are a Muslim. To my knowledge, Islam is the only religion to accept and embrace science. In fact, the two are very closely related. The Qur'an is full of scientific facts that basically prove it's authenticity in that no human in the time of Muhammad (PBUH) had any idea about what was relayed in the Qur'an.

Bob Cole ... 'what a shot, there, scoorres'. Tom 'touch 'em all Joe ...' Cheek

Unfortunately, I have experienced 'blind faith' when I was starting to question some of the 'modern' (since the concept of Jesus being devine being adapted) teachings of Christianity. The most common answer I got to my most pressing and reasonable questions always was ... 'that is were faith comes in'. To me that is not really an answer to a tough question. Those answers helped propel me on my journey to where I am today. I think that most here know, but just to be clear I am a Muslim convert / revert. Blind faith (not the awesome band mind you) is what helps many down the road to extremism. And thank you for pointing out that extremists exist in every faith community, but in very small numbers, of course, which is very fortunate for the rest of us. This I tend to agree with, except when you start to ask the really hard questions, at least that has been my experience. Also, one very notable exception is my own family who took us all to Roman Catholic Mass every Sunday, but all it really ended up being was a place to stop to wait until the Sunday Brunch places opened up. I am not ashamed of my background, or heritage, but I am ashamed of my family. And thanks @Eleven for starting this thread.

They were probably the best two-way Sabre forwards ever. And they had a 50+ goal scorer, in Gare, on that 3rd line with them.

We are over 400 positive cases now here in NS. We are testing a lot more everyday, so this is expected. 30+ positives each day this week and 2 deaths. Our Premier's 'stay the blazes home' comment is still all the rage. It is such a Nova Scotian thing to say.

RIP!! Wasn't the real Tom Webster the first pick in the expansion draft and was later traded for Roger Crozier at the very same draft?

Pour the whole works into a full bathtub. Drown the ants and make mounds of potatoes to freeze. You're welcome.
