Now I'm confused- one guy thanks Jesus because his career is over and another thanks God for allowing him to win his heat!
Those fellas above work in mysterious ways-

Hobgood, a fixture on the elite ASP Dream Tour for more than a decade, needed to defeat Wright in their Round 3 bout to remain on the ASP World Title Series for 2011, but was gracious in defeat regarding the tough loss.
"At the end of it, I don't want to be known as the 2001 World Champion," Hobgood said. "I want to be known as a guy that loved Jesus and loved everyone and had fun and that's it. It's not a sad day for me.

"I can't believe it," Alves said. "I'm so tired right now after surfing three heats and happy too. I beat Joel Parkinson and Mick Fanning. Thanks to God for everything he has given me. I'm looking for my best result, maybe I'll find it here."

“There are sensitivities of ethnicity with potential to endanger the harmony of community relationships. Great care will be taken in drafting ...this report to ensure that its findings embrace Rotherham's qualities of diversity. It is imperative that suggestions of a wider cultural phenomenon are avoided."[13]”

At least 1400 children raped by organised Muslims in Northern England. Police and politicians ignored and covered up evidence for years. Various instances of this same organised crime has occurred in several different locations across England.

Imagine if the Catholic paedophiles had been protected by the police and state in the last few years . This was initially dismissed as conspiracy .

The news report covering it is pretty irrelevant the stats are from the French government, although half the point of the story is why aren't these incidents being reported in more mainstream central or left media? or when they are why are they being misrepresented in how it's being reported? (so no surprise that the only news source that seem to be game to bring the issue to light is more right wing)

tbb recalled Yellow Shirts kicking in Marianne's head in Arch de Triumph.
Then the Louvre Pyramid being ravaged by souvenir hunters.
This exposed Notre Dame as icing on the cake for sabouters.
That's when tbb went looking for answers only to stumble over religious hatred.

Indo-dreaming laid out the script & painted the picture to these events.
There can be no doubt of increased efforts to wipe out Christianity.
Furthermore the hatred is Zombie like to rid all Christian Symbolism.
Most attacks are on Churches & decapitation of statues or snapping of crosses.
Great physical effort is exerted in the destruction of icons as if possessed.
It does extend to desecration & Cemetery destruction & Killings as we see.

Latest wave ramps up with sentencing of 2018 Easter's Indonesia/Egypt bombers.
Almost as if tributing their brothers in arms...west has seen this before.
Started building late last year..arson in English Church amongst Euro church arson.
This year concerted pre Easter arson then Bombs denying Christian ceremony.

Bali,India,Pakistan.Sri Lanka all warned of bomb 3-10 days out from Easter.
(Pause) tbb wouldn't lie about that, easy to verify that these nations + west knew!
Sure! A war if you like...as all saw the attack coming...but hopeless to stop it.

Current attacks on Christians is growing.
On top of Daily Church Attacks in France & Germany
North Korean Christians cower in underground hidey holes with lookouts.
China vows to rid Christianity, raids beat up the followers then remove crosses.
The Crosses are then burnt & Jail the Pastor for some months to example power.
Egypt are burning Christian Coptic Churches
Syrian Catholics had 70 Churches destroyed.
Turkey is Bombing Kurdish Christians.
Iraq is Destroying Christian Churches.
Ethiopia burnt down 10 Christian churches in one day
Nigeria killed 150 Christians in February.
India closed 100 Christian Churches and attacks are now daily on followers
Indonesia also Bombs churches & destroys Christian symbols as far as Papua.

This apparently is half the list & near all acts of arson build to Easter Ceremony.
News are saying right wing are stirring up shit about one act of arson.(Which one?)
You can read crew! "Multi pronged concerted attack on Christians!"
Christians have appealed to highest Govt Level in UK & to Trump personally.

Note these attacks started prior to Tarrants Mosque raid.
No doubt Australia's Tarrant fueled Easter Revenge...World knows that.

Newspapers are starting to notice that Govts are joined in denial of persecution.
If crew read right wing or left wing it pays to read that all are sticking the boot in.
Watch this space!

Out of Sri Lanka's total population of around 22 million, 70 per cent are Buddhist, 12.6 per cent Hindu, 9.7 per cent Muslim and 7.6 per cent Christian, according to the country's 2012 census.

SMH and Guardian have written approximately 5000 words on the attacks and has yet to mention Islam......censorship by omission.

It’s either religious extremism or just plain terrorists.

Tarrant in NZ was labelled a white supremacist thousands of times.

A conspiracy theory is

"the unnecessary assumption of conspiracy when other explanations are more probable"

Whats the most probable explanation?

Here is a clue..at least two of the bombings where suicide bombers.

Id say 98% certain it's an Islamic group of some kind and a 1% chance it's a buddhist group as to be fair the majority of the population in Sri Lanka is Buddhist and they have persecuted and acted violently towards other religious minorities in the past, and lets just leave 1% for other.

Im not sure why media are not reporting on who it may be as 13 people are arrested surely they are arrested for some reason? Surely they should know from those arrested more.

Chances of at least one of the guys names will be Muhammad (or Mohammad)?

Probably a better chance than Kelly getting another world tittle.

Do they use suicide bombers?

Like National Thowheed Jamath, National Tawheed Jamaath or National Thaweedh Jamaath (NJT) is a radical, Islamist group

The group is believed to be an offshoot of another extremist Islamist group called the Sri Lanka Thowheed Jamath (SLTJ).

@ Indo. You are right, I probably shouldn't have used the words "Conspiracy Theory". I meant that I was waiting for confirmation from a reliable source. Sri Lanka has a very violent recent history that is unconnected to Islam. I think they have had their own suicide bombers too. If anyone is interested a good book is Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje.

Not sure what your point is D-Rex. Seems like an attempt to divide, which is exactly what we do not need in these circumstances. Given that it was only a few hours ago that any information about the perpetrators of the Sri Lanka attacks was released, your complaint would seem a bit premature. If you want condemnation of the perpetrators of any terrorist attack I am happy to oblige. Anyone who is prepared to kill for their religious beliefs is evil. What I am not happy about is a generalisation of that condemnation to their co-religionists. Christians are not responsible for the Christchuch attack nor for the significant number of other attacks against Muslims. Muslims, in turn, are not responsible for the attacks against Christians carried out in their name. The responsibility for these murders rests primarily with those who carried them out, but those who incite division and hatred through misinformation also carry some responsibility.

Muslims are not but Islam is, the problem with people like you Blindboy is you have zero understanding of the Islam, the koran and the history of Islam.

The fact you even say "An even bigger question is what sort of insensitive fucktard would you have to be to promote this shit so soon after Christchuch."

300 people are dead over 500 injured and all you care about is defending the islam.

Your constantly bagging out Christianity, so are you now going to give it a rest?

Or how long will you have to wait until it's not "too soon" to get back on the bagging out Christianity thing?

As I've said many times double standard pathetic double standard.

BTW. Leviticus is the old testament (i had too google that) difference with Christianity to Islam is (although im not sure why) but they basically up dated their book, hence why no eye for eye shit. (but yeah kind of a joke, if you update the standards aren't you basically saying the first book was wrong)

I understand NZ is closer to home, but the media and attention that got was huge.

But this attack is one of the biggest since 9/11 i guess the lack of attention is because the loss of life of westerners was small?

Even the media seemed very political correct not even mentioning or suggesting it was related to Islam and even now that it is confirmed it's still not, i dont even think old Walled has had much to say like he did with Christ Church

If the Arab kings didn't have Islam to control the people with force they would have come up with something else. Even the Haj must bring them buckets of money and the funny thing is its a recycled Hindu site as it has Sanskrit writings inside...Go figure...and yes they should be on the list and the Americans should stop selling them elite arms just because Iran hates them and thinks the Saudis are a sellout to their view of their crazy religion.

IMHO it's kind of irreverent, very few islamic terrorist attacks are about what is happening in the country they happen, it's just about fulfilling the struggle of Jihad, Churches are attacked and hotels etc because these are symbols of westerners who are the biggest infidels and to these people we represent the complete opposite of what they believe in.

Mass killings in Christian US are mostly carried out by young white Christian men.
Most violent criminals in US prisons are Christian Men.
Most violent prisoners in the world represent as US Christians.

If facts show Christians as killers shouldn't the world side with Muslims regardless?
Endless argument by Christian Leaders of late say this is exactly what's happening!

Then how could Christians argue against the will of their own God of Love & Truth).
Schoolkids plead with Christians to give up their arms! [Now! Teachers got Guns]

God says clearly that "thou shall not kill"...and Jesus who is God in a visible form says.... Love Your Enemies....
…You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.…Jesus.
So there you have it from the bosses mouth, Jesus is trying to take us to the next level, above hate and judgement as He will be the judge on the last day. Do you think fake Christians or violent religious others will get away with their crimes...I think not. They will be judged the more harshly when their spirit stands before the one who gave them life...Regarding false paths, its a Christians job to educate people with love and never to bully or force their views on others as God has given us the freedom to choose our own destiny whether its in harmony as his child or not....Bringing us back to the original theme of this thread...Praise The Lord.
