Wonder if Celeste will have a better shot at a W roster spot as a defensive specialist than Bree Beal did. Bree got signed to a training camp contract so she's getting another shot.

I didn't read/hear Dawn's full comments about God but I always just take those sort of post-game remarks with a bit of an shrug. I am NOT religious at all (though I was raised Catholic) but tbh I don't really care if people mention it in sports. It's funny to imagine a higher, all knowing, all powerful being ignoring all the starving people in the world to go pick sides in sports game. 😂 So. Many. Athletes mention/thank God in post game interviews after a win, a loss, or even when they get recruited to a school (or transfer). That ain't me, but, whatever. Paige at UConn during the Big East tournament (after the semis game) mentioned they'd all been in the locker room before the game blasting gospel music and praying. I was like, okay, whatever works! You do you, boo. 😂 If that's what it takes to get the W, I'll be blasting gospel music too.

It wasn't the mentioning God part. Everyone rubs God's head for good luck. It was the part where she said there was "something wrong with anyone who didn't feel the same." Not exactly material for the inclusion handbook. Which she wrote.

Mmm, yeah. Definitely agree with you on this one. Not the best look.

This was her last season. She played two seasons for Texas, two at Duke, and one for Ohio St.

Tomorrow is the deadline for college players whose teams have been eliminated from postseason play to declare for the WNBA draft. We should be expecting to hear a bunch of players deciding to stay or leave tomorrow.

Well, theologically-speaking, she's not wrong. Traditional, orthodox Christianity says there's something wrong with all of us from the moment of conception that separates humans from God and that requires a miraculous intervention to cure.

Or she may be appealing to science and reason.

No, not true, sounds like Catholicism. Maybe you’re talking about David’s remorse concerning Bathsheba.

This is what the Bible teaches:

A person becomes a sinner when he commits a sin. To sin is to go astray, transgress, trespass, err, or to miss the mark. The point is that sin is not a state of being but an action. It is not said that everyone is a sinner, but that all have sinned, Romans 3:23, I Kings 8:46. But to commit a sin, one must be at the age to discern right from wrong, Deuteronomy 1:39, Isaiah 7:15-16, Jonah 4:11.

Babies and children are not born sinners.

I know you can say anything here, but I find your second sentence very offensive.

There's no place in the WNBA for defensive specialits. Why settle for that when you can have someone who can play on both ends of the court.

Even the defensive specialists they do have (Alysha Clark from Seattle for example) was a prolific scorer in college. Taylor is better than Beal was in that regard, but neither of them look like WNBA talent to me.

I wonder why tomorrow? That doesn't give the remaining E8 teams much time at all to decide.

The moment it does not translate to college they will not even bring up the name again. Just do that to bring up something negative. Rickea is a 5- star from Detroit. Talaysia is a 5 star from South Carolina. Jewel Spear a two-time USA player and former ACC leading scorer. Jillian Hollingshead McD All-American from Georgia. Do folks constantly talk about them leaving their home state? It happens everywhere.

Well, I must strongly disagree with your interpretations and can offer detailed reasons why, but I'd say that most bb posters would rather that discussion take place in the politics forum.

Just a few very brief points: Google commentaries on the passages (unsure why the Jonah reference was included), consider that one of your main arguments is a distinction without a difference, and also consider that the obvious ramifications of the lack of accountability view is that Christian parents holding that view would pray that their children would die young to insure that they'd go to Heaven. Also look up "age of accountability" to see the wildly varying ages from 7 up to age 20. Also consider the many verses that contradict that view.

This is not the place. You do know that no babies are baptized in the Bible, only people who were old enough to make that decision for themselves. Babies are innocent.

The Scriptures indicate infants and children are considered pure and innocent, Matthew 18:3; 19:14; I Corinthians 14:20.

Again, not the right thread. Maybe a thread in Politics titled "Are Children Sinners?" or something similar. I would love to discuss this there and offer biblical evidence that refutes your statement in the interest of sharing biblical truths.

Meanwhile, please consider Acts 16:15, 33; Acts 18:8; I Cor. 1:16; Luke 19:3; John 4:33 plus many more, both O.T. and N.T.

"Households" include children.
