5 questions for NBA star Jeremy Lin(CNN) - It was only a year and a half ago that a phenomenon swept the globe and made basketball fans a little, well, "Linsane." Remember that? Back then, Jeremy Lin led a historic New York Knicks winning streak, dubbed "Linsanity." Crowds fell for the feel-good story of an overlooked bench-warmer who slept on friends' sofas to take a shot in the NBA. A new documentary takes a look at the life of Jeremy Lin before the madness. "Linsanity," out in select theaters October 4, offers a glimpse of Lin's road to stardom: He was a standout basketball player in summer leagues, competed in a tightly contested high school state championship and faced racial epithets as an Ivy League athlete before landing, undrafted, in the professional league. From the documentary, it's clear the 25-year-old Lin was used to being an underdog, and overcame his share of challenges with a deep faith and persistent spirit. "I'm always trying to have a good time, joking around, goofy," he said. "I think I try not to take anything really too seriously." FULL STORY

Jeremy Lin, a positive role model!
Great questions to Lin on his faith, looks like Lin is passionate about his love for God, his game and life in general.
Great article! Thanks for posting!
Bible Fun Fact:
Are you female? Have you ever engaged in premarital s.ex? Even if you're married now, did you have s.ex even once before you were married? Maybe when you were a teenager or your early twenties? 98% of American women have. Do you know what the bible says is the punishment for such wh.orish behavior? Let's check and see:
"But if this thing be true, and the tokens of v.irginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the wh.ore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you." (Deuteronomy 22: 20-21)
Well, looks like we must drag the non-virgin woman to her father's doorstep and there, with help from the whole town, stone her to death. Sorry 98% of women, Yahweh says you have to die. I'm guessing you're going to Hell, too. (Please note this punishment does not apply to men who do the exact same thing.)
I bet that last 2% of women left after we stone the rest to death will be right popular with the fellas.
You left out the part about the husband deciding to accuse his wife. If you don't complain she is a virgin!
jeremy lin seems like a nice guy. too bad he got suckered in by the christian cult.
sweet smelling flowers roam the sidewalks
while big bellied dandelions platoon;
the spring rains are falling a funny tune at the expense
of a funny man;
stepping on and off the curb, looking a bit bored;
eyes up and shoes flexed for the sprint
suddenly bright sun elbows its way between two clouds;
a funny man flaps his ready feat into a small puddle and smiles
the sun was sweet;
it tasted warm on his tongue and eye lids
a funny man went for swim;
flippers flipping and arms waving his funny man water ballet
...an excellent web site is http://www.exposingchristianity.com
Jesus was myth who NEVER existed and do not believe in him!
that site is crap.
...why?....Because it hits a raw nerve in the sense that this "jesus" was nothing but mythical construct!
"jesus" claims he will answer prayers? No one's prayers in history have ever been answered!
He claimed he would return........He hasn't been heard nor seen since!
another site is http://www.debunkingchristianity.com.
lol
Is it more or less crap than the crap found in The Babble?
there is no good evidence jesus was not just a figure of myth, much like hercules. christians hate that fact. wanting jesus to be real doesn't make it so.
WHY IS THIS IN THE RELIGION SECIOTON? I WAS JUST WONTERING SINCE I DO NOT KNOW WHY COME.
it's a belief blog, not a religious one
Despite your keyboard and grammar skills, I agree – the interview had nothing to do about religion until CNN brought it up. This belongs more in the sports column than here – come on Daniel Burke, you have to be able to find a more compelling topic.
Why come – indeed!

I was thinking about setting ranks for people on this forum, depending on how many posts you have. There are lots of fun and creative ways we could go with this, gang! Here's one system to start us off.
0 posts = Newbie
500 posts = Regular
1000 posts = Familiar Face
10000 posts = Veteran
20000 posts = Expert
Let's hear some of your own!!!
0 posts = gay
however many posts craig has = cool
0 POSTS = CUP OF WATER
500 POSTS = CUP OF WATER W/ A SPRINKLE OF SUGAR
1000 POSTS = CUP OF WATER W/ A HANDFUL OF SUGAR
10000 POSTS = DIET SODER POP
20000 POSTS = SODER POP
Atheist, sounds fun, but it would be cool if stupid CNN would make us log in so we can't copy names and then you could use like a star system like Ebay.
gay
people who call things "gay" are ignorant.
f

g
Ok, I will give you that it is:

But NOT gay.
They should have logins though, and maximum characters.
20000 posts = Needs to get a job.

At first glance, this article doesn't really seem to be about religion, but then I read,
"I'm always trying to have a good time, joking around, goofy," he said. "I think I try not to take anything really too seriously."
That is when I realized it was definitely about religion.
Good one! That clue is tough to miss.
I prefer Shakespeare Drew. But to each his own.
down there...I meant. you know.
The scripture verses Lin quoted from the book of Romans are exceptional.
Exceptional crap. Glorifying suffering as a gift, just like that horrid old hag did in Calcutta.
Hey, what's up Athy. How is your day?
Good, thank you. And yours?
Outstanding thank you!

One wonders if his time spent on Christianity would be better spent practicing his basketball skills considering that Christianity is a waste of time and easily replaced by three words: Do No Harm.
Why do you think it is a waste of time? Give one good reason why it is harmful?
Let's start with Prop 8 and DOMA, just for fun....
Why, what is so harmful about traditional marriage?
How does same-sex marriage threaten your "traditional" marriage? Be honest. And back it up with fact, not your emotions or words from your bible.
Instead of "Do No Harm", why not pick up where the New Testament... love (i.e. help) your neighbor and your enemy...instead of just not hurting anyone, actually helping someone.
Lets finish that thought: .....where the Newt Testament left off...
You've just failed at living by your own standard.
For starters- the waste of Easter:
Saving Christians from the Infamous Resurrection Con/
From that famous passage: In 1 Corinthians 15: 14, Paul reasoned, "If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith."
Even now Catholic/Christian professors (e.g.Notre Dame, Catholic U, Georgetown) of theology are questioning the bodily resurrection of the simple, preacher man aka Jesus.
To wit;
From a major Catholic university's theology professor’s grad school white-board notes:
"Heaven is a Spirit state or spiritual reality of union with God in love, without earthly – earth bound distractions.
Jesus and Mary's bodies are therefore not in Heaven.
Most believe that it to mean that the personal spiritual self that survives death is in continuity with the self we were while living on earth as an embodied person.
Again, the physical Resurrection (meaning a resuscitated corpse returning to life), Ascension (of Jesus' crucified corpse), and Assumption (Mary's corpse) into heaven did not take place.
The Ascension symbolizes the end of Jesus' earthly ministry and the beginning of the Church.
Only Luke records it. (Luke mentions it in his gospel and Acts, i.e. a single attestation and therefore historically untenable). The Ascension ties Jesus' mission to Pentecost and missionary activity of Jesus' followers.
The Assumption has multiple layers of symbolism, some are related to Mary's special role as "Christ bearer" (theotokos). It does not seem fitting that Mary, the body of Jesus' Virgin-Mother (another biblically based symbol found in Luke 1) would be derived by worms upon her death. Mary's assumption also shows God's positive regard, not only for Christ's male body, but also for female bodies." "
"In three controversial Wednesday Audiences, Pope John Paul II pointed out that the essential characteristic of heaven, hell or purgatory is that they are states of being of a spirit (angel/demon) or human soul, rather than places, as commonly perceived and represented in human language. This language of place is, according to the Pope, inadequate to describe the realities involved, since it is tied to the temporal order in which this world and we exist. In this he is applying the philosophical categories used by the Church in her theology and saying what St. Thomas Aquinas said long before him."
http://eternal-word.com/library/PAPALDOC/JP2HEAVN.HTM
The Vatican quickly embellished this story with a lot CYAP.
With respect to rising from the dead, we also have this account:
An added note: As per R.B. Stewart in his introduction to the recent book, The Resurrection of Jesus, Crossan and Wright in Dialogue,
p.4
"Reimarus (1774-1778) posits that Jesus became sidetracked by embracing a political position, sought to force God's hand and that he died alone deserted by his disciples. What began as a call for repentance ended up as a misguided attempt to usher in the earthly political kingdom of God. After Jesus' failure and death, his disciples stole his body and declared his resurrection in order to maintain their financial security and ensure themselves some standing."
p.168. by Ted Peters:
Even so, asking historical questions is our responsibility. Did Jesus really rise from the tomb? Is it necessary to have been raised from the tomb and to appear to his disciples in order to explain the rise of early church and the transcription of the bible? Crossan answers no, Wright answers, yes. "
So where are the bones"? As per Professor Crossan's analyses in his many books, the body of Jesus would have ended up in the mass graves of the crucified, eaten by wild dogs, covered with lime in a shallow grave, or under a pile of stones.
lol
Well, obviously he didn't exist. there isn't the slightest bit of evidence to suggest he lived. No one that we know of wrote any thing about him. How absurd to waste time discussing him. He isn't worth the time of day. People are sick. You cannot persuade deluded morons that their fantasies are just that? What a waste of time. Leave them to the medical world. Trying to convince the insane that they are insane is insane, you idiots!
We thought we sent this information to sam s a few times already but just in case he missed it:
From Professors Crossan and Watts' book, Who is Jesus.
"That Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate, as the Creed states, is as certain as anything historical can ever be.
“ The Jewish historian, Josephus and the pagan historian Tacitus both agree that Jesus was executed by order of the Roman governor of Judea. And is very hard to imagine that Jesus' followers would have invented such a story unless it indeed happened.
“While the brute fact that of Jesus' death by crucifixion is historically certain, however, those detailed narratives in our present gospels are much more problematic. "
“My best historical reconstruction would be something like this. Jesus was arrested during the Passover festival, most likely in response to his action in the Temple. Those who were closest to him ran away for their own safety.
I do not presume that there were any high-level confrontations between Caiaphas and Pilate and Herod Antipas either about Jesus or with Jesus. No doubt they would have agreed before the festival that fast action was to be taken against any disturbance and that a few examples by crucifixion might be especially useful at the outset. And I doubt very much if Jewish police or Roman soldiers needed to go too far up the chain of command in handling a Galilean peasant like Jesus. It is hard for us to imagine the casual brutality with which Jesus was probably taken and executed. All those "last week" details in our gospels, as distinct from the brute facts just mentioned, are prophecy turned into history, rather than history remembered."
See also Professor Crossan's reviews of the existence of Jesus in his other books especially, The Historical Jesus and also Excavating Jesus (with Professor Jonathan Reed doing the archeology discussion) .
Other NT exegetes to include members of the Jesus Seminar have published similar books with appropriate supporting references.
Part of Crossan's The Historical Jesus has been published online at books.google.com/books.
There is also a search engine for this book on the right hand side of the opening page. e.g. Search Josephus
See also Wikipedia's review on the historical Jesus to include the Tacitus' reference to the crucifixion of Jesus.
From ask.com,
"One of the greatest historians of ancient Rome, Cornelius Tacitus is a primary source for much of what is known about life the first and second centuries after the life of Jesus. His most famous works, Histories and Annals, exist in fragmentary form, though many of his earlier writings were lost to time. Tacitus is known for being generally reliable (if somewhat biased toward what he saw as Roman immorality) and for having a uniquely direct (if not blunt) writing style.
Then there are these scriptural references:
