Sachin Tendulkar - myth or man?

[JanjaWeed]

ALLAH is arabic name of GOD. In english you call it GOD while in arabic you call it ALLAH. If you find my arguments absurd then dont bother to comment. Thanks

your argument is absurd.. 'cause you don't know what u are talking about. u only picked a line which you found comfortable to answer & ignored the rest of my post. just to let u know.. i'm named after one of the most revered god of hindu mythology. does that mean anyone can't call me by my first name just because it's one of our god's?? just 'cause something doesn't suit your liking, doesn't mean that it's inappropriate. so.. stop chewing on it & give it a rest!!

na.. what you need to do is to understand the concept of god in different relegions in the first place before passing your judgement on how people should interpret the same. i wouldn't dare to tell you how you should interpret god in your culture & society. 'cause i haven't got much of a clue about it. same way unless you understand someone's culture, you shouldn't try & preach them how they should go about their job!! that's all!!

Relax janja, I don't think any other religion labelled their sports men as GOD. Its first time i heard this on forum from indian member and gave my thoughts about it without insulting anyone and there is nothing wrong with constructive debate.

Now lets get back to topic to glorify indian GOD sachin..Sorry i shoudl say Hindu GOD sachin becuase i dont think muslims and christian indians will consider him God

i think it's the classic case of ingorance is bliss, when it comes to you!! it has got nothing to do with you or anyone else for that matter when it comes to how people of india wants to portray their hero! save your bacon for your own good. do not tax your brain too much thinking about what the various relegions of india has to consider or say when it comes to sachin!!

dude, i have a solution, in order to stop the stupidity, esp the stupidity of indians, i havent found the better solution than ignorance, ignorance is the weapon which can shut them up automatically, the more you waste energy to teach them, the more hyper than will get, the more posts you make, the more they will feel important and keep posting these rubbish things

btw you are right, i have yet to see any footballer like zidane, ronaldo, pele to yet to be labelled as god, let alone crickters like imran etc, if imran was indian, he was surely to be labelled a god because in the manner he lead a weak and young inexperienced team to victory, but their sachin could make 20s score on the final, let them say and dont bother yourself, dont bother them and they will shut up

if they label him god, let them, world will see their stupidity and foolishness, and be made bunch of laughing stock

 

[notsuperstitious]

Question : Who should we give title of god?
Answer : GOD..someone who has got divine power..omnipotent, omniscient beings..creator/orginator of universe..

I want you to explain me your defination of " GOD" because indian defination of GOD is something different than what dictionary suggest

Buddy, first tell me, WHO gave your IMAGINARY FRIEND the term GOD? Show the process followed, show the review log, show pictures and documentary evidence - notarised.

Otherwise - DON'T COMMENT ON STUFF YOU ARE CLUELESS ABOUT.

Wrong. Maradona. The hand of God. Lookup and read all about that goal. The only thing keeping you from understanding this concept is the inability to read the euphemism and the fact differently.

wow lighten up.

In modern culture people use god a term to describe someone you dont have to get religiously offended-.-.

Religous minded and arrogant.

If thats the way you feel about the word god then fine but dont shove it down on people who clearly dont agree.

 

[punit]

Well that was batting pitch. Anyone could have hit on that day. He cames as opening batsman. If things are easy or less runs to chase then he will score.

Show me one match India won chasing 300 runs and sachin performed with bat.

are u an idiot or trying to be one .. was that pitch the only batting pitch ever made if not wht prevented others from making runs .. remeber 350 + run chase against Australia and briliant 175 knock by sachin ( we l;ost the match is another story), 2003 match against pakistan ( oops that was 25 short of magical fig of 300 )

in short get a life

 

[punit]

Dravid aint older than sachin and some others. he was one player we used to say now who will out him as he was so much calm and cool player

he was wasted simply just like Amir Nazir was made target of politics by our cricket board

u arte correct something happened b/w Dravid and BCCI. his suddenn resignation without giving any reason is suspicious. but then he is still part of test cricket
