:D

I appreciate the abilities of Stuart Matsikenyeri. I would not argue that point.

Religion is something I have no time for and no truck with. I am tired of bible bashers inflicting their superstitions and bigotry on the rest of us and that goes for all religion.

Matsi is a quality performer. Even if he is in the squad as a non playing member he can be a role model and an inspiration to the younger players.

I guess when people have no belief in any higher power they have to find something on earth to worship - in Zimfanatics case it is Matsi. I guess Matsi could serve as some sort of spiritual leader to the side?

Soccer is the modern day opiate of the masses.

There is nothing wrong with being a devotee of something real and tangible as opposed to some figment of someones imagination.

There is no higher power. Religion is a con trick perpetrated on the lumpen proletariat promising them a great afterlife to make up for the serfdom and poverty of their human existence. Fortunately in western europe the cancer of religion is declining and has been since adolph got his pansy ass kicked.

Reminds me of a quote a few years back about soccer player Glenn Hoddle who became a bible basher after a trip to Israel.

"Glenn Hoddle has found God"
"That must have been one hell of a pass"

Had a look at the website - yet another American come to bring the light to the dark continent. Evacuation theology, end of the world...
Oh boy..
Sad that Tatenda feels he must give up his career for the Lord
I remember reading the parable of the talents - I thought the point was not to bury your talent...?

Actually its Eagle Eye Tabernacle not Ministries unless its one in the same. The article said Tibba would travel all the way to Gweru each sunday. Maybe he will head the Harare branch as the Senier Pastor, and with his fame and celeb status he will be the draw card.
