Says you. I'm not religious by any stretch, and I suck at chess. Ask anyone.
Originally posted by Nicolaas I hope most of you will enjoy this. For the fun, let us create two clans.
One guy must create a clan called Christians and another person must create a clan called Non-Christians. We then get 20 players in each clan and play it out on the chess board?
Suggestion: (others are welcome)
Best of of three challenges at the end wins?
Who is game for this?
Get your leader to challenge the free thinkers.
We may be matched together, which could be a laugh!
(As a Springbok tell me this: who are you backing on Saturday? Wales or the ABs?)
Originally posted by Chakan The problem I have with this is that if the christians win, it will be "god was on our side". If they lose it will be "god works in mysterious ways".
ok
God will be on our side, I trust He will let us make all the right moves - and you, all the wrong moves - hehe
If we have lost the game, we lost, no but this and thats - its just a friendly challenge, no one will go to hell if you loose or heaven if you win.

I will always be a Springbok supporter, abviously you would be a very proud Wales supporter 😉
I would like to see Wales crash the AB's like never before. The AB's are toooooooooo sure of themselves, and walking with their noses towards heaven. They are a very strong team, but the Wales can, like any other international team, win any team on a good day.
If one of you is a subcriber and have not created a clan yet, and you are a non-christian, create a clan and give us the clan name in this thread. All non-christians can then apply to play in this clan then.

easy as 123, if you need help creating a clan, I'll gladly help you.
as you all will view this link, you will notice that only aardvarkhome played in this challenge. None of the other subscribers here, now, played in that game.
Originally posted by ivangrice Then you're an outlying statistic. The bell curves of chess ability for the religious and the non-religious will overlap.
The fundamental principle remains: the propensity to seek solace in supersitition is indicative of stunted intellectual development.

Could you list a scientific study to support your claim?
