Atheists Plotting and Scheming
I didn't think I would have to post yet again. The reason I am posting this is because discrimination is a sin. As the saga continues, Erik Youngson was sent a link to this page from Steve Dyck. Steve Dyck is the guy who said to me that if I talk about Christianity to him ever again, he will never play me ever again! In no uncertain terms. What kind of world do we live in that someone has to act this way? The Bible says Satan is the god of this world. Fortunately the Internet and other avenues exist so we can have a discussion even if we play racquetball too. Fortunately, I don't really feel like I have lost anything not playing Steve. He is 17 years younger than me and lost 11-2, 11-2, 11-0 last time we played. It might be detrimental for me to be playing him to begin with.
It's interesting how quickly Steve found this link (who then informed Erik Youngson). Steven hasn't talked to Erik in 6 months. He found it a day or two after I posted it so he must be scouring the internet for my comments on a regular basis, or maybe Khalil just gave him the link. I never knew he was that obsessed over me. Steve is an Atheist and Erik admitted to me he is one as well. There are no Christians that I am aware of in the racquetball community (Pentecostalism and Mormonism are not Christian by the way), or on racquetball association boards, so this feels like a gang banging experience. Erik is discriminating against me now by not playing me (he is not showing up Saturday mornings at 9:30 anymore). He says he has to think about it. I think he has already decided; hence, this commentary to expose the abusive behavior (abusive because it is under false pretense and false accusation, for in reality he is just tired of losing and trying to exalt himself above Christian). Why look to find something wrong with a Christian? Because in their minds it proves Christianity wrong. I would urge them to look at themselves, to judge themselves, for they call Jesus and the Apostles liars. Jesus said to pick up this stone and throw it whoever is without sin. I am willing to play everyone, and open up the line of communication and dialogue. This is how Christians are different than Atheists, we do not discriminate against people. We still play them at racquetball. Even though we have differences, we treat others as we would like to be treated. We are not afraid of the evidence and the facts.
I gave Erik the gospel of salvation many times and prayed that he look at some stuff on YouTube such as the Cold-Case Christianity by detective J. Warner Wallace. He says he will give it a look, but he said that last time, and never did. The choice is his and the burden is on him alone. He doesn't understand that sin leads to death and the second death which is Hell--an eternal separation from God. He just thinks he will cease to exist when he dies. That kind of idea leads to moral degradation because ultimately it doesn't matter what you do. You can murder someone and receive the same consequence of merely just ceasing to exist. Thank God that is not true; otherwise, God would not be righteous, holy and true.
My prayer always is for Steve, Khalil and Erik to one day give their lives to Christ because I don't want them to go to Hell. Nor does Jesus, or the Apostles, that's why He died on the cross for the sins of the world. There is no greater love!
Praise the Lord!
The main difference between an Atheist and a Theist is the Theist believes in a personal creator, whereas the Atheist believes in an impersonal creator since the latter is not a being and does not have a mind. We see personableness all throughout creation. But the Atheist is impersonal, cold and insensitive.
You can prove God's existence by observing inside the box. You do not have to go outside the box.
Evil is evidence for the existence of God. If nothing is evil then there is no law giver. But since we all know evil exists, there must be the Law Giver.
Erik took exception to the term "Jihad" but that is the term the Koran uses. "The word jihad appears frequently in the Koran with and without military connotations" (Wikipedia).This is the definition I used too. But Erik decided to selfishly redefine the term so as to accuse me falsely for using this term. When I use the term Jihad I am not referring to Khalil cutting off my head. I am referring to the non-military use of the term, but also not leaving out the more aggressive forms in the Koran. Can we really know the spirit of another human being and what they are capable of?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jihad
"Jihad is sometimes referred to as the sixth pillar of Islam. In TwelverShi'a Islam jihad is one of the ten Practices of the Religion. A person engaged in jihad is called a mujahid (plural mujahideen). The term jihad is often rendered in English as Holy War, although this translation is controversial."
Khalil believes Erik and Steve are going to Hell. So the discrimination against me (not playing me at racquetball anymore) can't merely be due to some comments expressed, because Steve would discriminate against Khalil, and Khalil would discriminate against Steve and Erik, and so on. Therefore, what this all has to do with is vocalized Christianity, because only in Christianity do we testify to Jesus being God. And that's what seems to drive non-Christians mad. The Atheist, Muslim and Mormon would not take issue if the Christian was silent for the rest of his life, but the minute a Christian speaks and spreads the gospel, or judges someone for inappropriate behavior or words, they bring out their guns against us. Why? Because Christianity cannot have moral authority in their world views.
In addition to Erik accusing me of using the term Jihad--him not accepting the use that particular term by Muhammad in the Koran--there are some other accusations. Is this not evil to accuse me of using the term when I am just repeating the term used by the Koran? This shows you how naïve Erik is. His willful misunderstanding must come down to his Atheism because only Atheists would say this. Atheism causes him to not think straight. Christians don't get this term wrong. Muslims don't deny this term. The Atheist has his own rendering which is off the beaten track. Erik seems confused.
My use of the term "morbidly obese" for a few people Erik took exception. I posed the question what is it with these heavy set people that are being so hostile and against Jesus? A fair question indeed! People say the true Buddha was not fat. Some of the Buddha's were fat, morbidly.
"Morbid obesity is diagnosed by determining Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is defined by the ratio of an individual’s height to his or her weight. Normal BMI ranges from 20-25. An individual is considered MORBIDLY OBESE if he or she is 100 pounds over his/her ideal body weight, has a BMI of 40 or more, or 35 or more and experiencing obesity-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes." Steve will be the first person to admit this as do others. He has admitted it to me before. I believe he said he was over 300, and so did one other. My point is only to point out why such heavy set people are so hostile that they need to discriminate against me by not playing me? Jesus can forgive them this sin if only they accept what He did on the cross.
A morbidly obese person can have a BMI of 35. Am I really that far off in describing Steve as morbidly obese? How do you expect to be cured from an illness if you won't accept you sick? You need the right diagnosis too. How do you expect to be cured if you don't take the right medicine? Being overweight, no doubt, makes you frustrated. There is a direct connection to the immorality of being fat and the immorality of rejecting Christ. The Holy Spirit has a tendency to push down obesity into a healthier weight level. I would like to see a study done on that. What is the probability of fat people not accepting Christ vs. the general public? My experience is the obese person is more likely to not be a Christian than a thin person. Why is this? Because sin begets sin. If you start with the sin of rejecting Christ, naturally your sin will spread to other areas of your life, including weight gain.

I really think players are just frustrated playing me, getting beat so handily all the time since I am an Open player and these three are C players. Then just stop playing me, don't concoct some stupid reason for not playing me. I did not force you to play me. I understand you are frustrated. Be frustrated. Embrace it!
Erik accused me of bragging. I asked him, Why would I need to brag? Erik said, he doesn't know. I said, exactly! And we both laughed at his suggestion. Erik needs to read more conscientiously and have some empathy when he reads my words, because, he is obviously, misreading what I said. Forming arguments by misreading what someone says is called sinning bearing false witness. I point out the scores only to reflect on where the frustration is coming from.
Erik takes exception to the phrase "retarded racquetball" which involves never calling avoidables. Everyone stands around in doubles with no attempt to get out of each others' way. Talk about bad habits. Erik says that is offensive to people who have disabilities. Actually, no, calling a child a retard is offensive. Erik has no problem calling living human beings retards, but when I use the phrase against a dumb way of playing racquetball, he comes out guns a blazing. That to me sounds like hypocrisy. The caring term is Intellectual Disability (ID). And I know lots of players that are totally against doubles. They hate it! Racquets get broken. It does nothing for conditioning. Lots of physical contact. And people get hurt on their opponent's backswing. Jeff Buller can't see out of one of his eyes properly because Trevor Webb was careless. Crowding only increases with twice as many players on the court. Crowding is an avoidable.
Erik basically nitpicked through this thread and came up with ONLY 3 or 4 issues which I have fully addressed, and all of them have been squashed. Erik was looking for a fight. He didn't care about the truth. He's an atheist. I have to admit I had a lot more respect for Erik before our hour long discussion on the phone.
Lately, I have been recording my games on video at the courts, and this too may have played a factor in Khalil, Steve and Erik not wanting to play me anymore as they don't want their losing ways posted on YouTube for all to see (esp. losing to a Christian). They have not directly asked me to stop recording. They in fact, said it was ok. But maybe they really don't like it. I don't post games on the Internet for others to see anyway so that should not be a problem. When you give someone a copy of the video you can send it to them privately on YouTube. That's what I do. Furthermore, I delete permanently almost all the videos after watching them. Perhaps Khalil doesn't like the evidence in what the video replay shows when I play a clip back for him in slow motion. He really is going over the encroachment line in clip after clip. I take 4 or 5 still images to show he crossed the line before the ball hits the floor. You can see how the ball has not hit the floor yet while part of his foot is on the line. Yet he argued on the court for 10 minutes. He, in fact, encroaches almost every time he tried to short hop or hit the ball in the air in the encroachment area. Instead of being caught on camera or admit that he is wrong, he has chosen not to play me anymore. So immature.
Also, notice my comments only come AFTER Khalil's abusive comments and indication he is not playing me anymore, and Steve's overbearing ultimatum trying to lord himself over me. Let's not put the cart before the horse. Don't go after me. Go after the source of the problem, their original comments I am responding to here, and expose them which is God's will.
When an Atheist comes at you, it won't be direct; he will look for other things to accuse you of.
Honestly, at the end of the day Erik doesn't want to play me after losing 11-4, 11-1 (last week was the first time he played anyone in 6 months). I really believe Erik is frustrated and tired of losing to me. That's ok. There's nothing wrong with being frustrated. Find a lower level group of players to play with if that solves your problem.
My non-Christian attackers won't get me off the court as they try to hurt me. I feel ashamed for them. You can't be king of the court by trying ban people. I'm actually drawn more to racquetball with all these non-Christian attacks. They drive me to succeed. I am still going to the US Open and World Seniors to try to win the 50+ for the next 5 years running. And there are still a few other players to play. Steve Dyck hasn't ostracized all of them against me yet. People want to get good at the game, so naturally they are drawn to play me. The only game that really suffers is Erik's, Steve's and Khalil's. A fair conclusion is: it was just a matter of time before a person can't handle losing consistently anymore. I gave them the easy way out by making the Christian a scapegoat. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I would rather stand on the truth.
When I put myself in the shoes of the Atheist or the Muslim and see their discrimination,
I would feel ugly inside, and could not do what they do, if I was an Atheist or Muslim attempting to hurt another,
because I still feel the discrimination is wrong not playing people at racquetball, under false pretense, whom formerly played quite a bit.

The players in Edmonton, Alberta today can't hold a candlestick to the players of the past. It really shows what a poor job the Alberta Racquetball Association has done over the years. I have a theory on that. John Halko has been the intermediary to introduce the sport, but none of them have stuck with it. What is it about John Halko that turns kids off? He was morbidly obese. Even his own son Devin Halko told me he has quit racquetball. Before Halko was Marc Caouette who was also morbidly obese. This would turn anyone off. They may ask, is this what is going to happen to me if I play racquetball too? If Kane, or even a half decent player, was here building the juniors, I am sure it would be a thriving community.
