That's right. Non-trinitarians have never really gone away.

And what's he up to now?

I mean, each to their own and everything, but there's something about that that makes me a bit sad. Calling judo 'nonsense' and devoting your life to a giant bearded wizard who lives in the clouds?

This is tragic.

People leave training for many reasons. Ive been out for well over a year because I am too damn busy and just dont have time.

But to leave for... for... the reasons he chose... is disturbing.

I mean I have no issue with folk being religious... but something about this creeps me out.

Didn't the goths end up being Arian, from pre-nicene missionaries?

There are things more helpful than learning to fight, but one can't choose one's talents and somehow the will to fight is the most important thing to me.

I feel like this sentiment badly needs to be addressed:
This thread did not drive Kieth away from Judo. He had already driven himself away ten years ago.
