At the same time I do not think Big Brother is a game where religion or Christianity really would play a part, although good morals and values make for kinder people.....but this is not why we watch Big Brother!! We love the secret alliances, the scheming, and competiveness of the game!! Also the showmances are great too!!! It's a game! Lets have fun and stay tuned!!!

If you have to profess your faith, it is not working very well for you. Jesus was in the world and of the world. He was a man of faith and he was a political revolutionary. According to Roman law, crucifixion was reserved for seditionists and he was crucified for acts of sedition.<br /><br />Doing "works" to be seen is counterproductive. Howard, and others, like to be seen as Christians and use it in this world as if it was of this world. We humans are of this world and no amount of praying can change that. We are of it and in it.<br /><br />His religion, IMO, is his "bigger fish to fry" and I hope he is evicted. BB15 is a game of this world and in this world. It should not be used to proclaim your faith to millions of viewers and use the viewers as potential "converts". In the end it is counterproductive.<br />rigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020846404885158588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-154223015064054315.post-73461625356344489442013-07-27T14:15:26.355-05:002013-07-27T14:15:26.355-05:00The whole thing that is so irritating about howard...The whole thing that is so irritating about howard's faith is not his beliefs at all. Everyone is free to believe what they want. What is irritating is that he uses it to get..what? sympathy? Empathy? To get the hg to think "oh that Howard is a good man. A man of god." So they don't vote him out? If anything is made him a target because the few times he actually participates in a conversation, it comes back around to his religion. This is why i feel that religion is the worst thing for humanity. And christianity says you have to constantly declare your beliefs? That's absurd. One would think the only "person" that needs to know what you believe is the god of your choice, not everyone you come into contact with. And furthermore, i don't need to hear about fairy tales when science is fucking awesome. Religion was invented to sedate the free thinkers and the leaders of society so the actual "men in power" can control them. Ie.

I have the same gripes with Dan. I also had a problem when Shelly kept using her daughter. You can play the game any way you want, but when you purposely use something as fragile and personal as religion to fuel your game, that where you cross the line. If that makes me an ahole, and religion hater so be it. But I am comfortable with who I am, and the way I live my life. If Howard was so comfortable with his faith, why is he questioning every move in his game. If the moves he makes are meant to not harm anyone, then his conscious and faith should be cleared.Chris Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886402903146342033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-154223015064054315.post-13178041149926525002013-07-27T12:26:19.537-05:002013-07-27T12:26:19.537-05:00@Chris - Sorry that other people's faith bothe...@Chris - Sorry that other people's faith bothers you. However, Christians know that professing is a big part of our faith. The bible teaches us to be in the world and not of it. I'm not one who believes that we should shove our beliefs down anyone's throats. Likewise, I don't think it's right for the un-faithful to belittle us for staying true to our beliefs. We don't have to cower in the corner to appease people like you. Your attack on Howard's character is exactly what he was talking about. If you're uncomfortable by his walk with God maybe you should consider WHY you're so uncomfortable.<br /><br />You're right about one thing, it is a game. His religion shouldn't be used against him in the game. I also don't think his religion should be a part of his game play because I doubt God gives to cents about this game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09139831312252062943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-154223015064054315.post-76463800572440768052013-07-27T12:25:32.042-05:002013-07-27T12:25:32.042-05:00The same can be said about other houseguest too.

I'm a woman. Her "pushiness" to get out people I'm rooting for is my reasoning. Howard and Candice seem like the only ones unwilling to be followers. Everyone else follows whatever power there is in the house at the time - LAME. This is why casting based on youth and looks is a recipe for disaster. <br /><br />I really wanna see the power shift in the house and see the "comfortable" house guests start to scramble!

As Julie said Aryan overwhelmingly won last weeks vote and now all those votes will be up for grabs with everyone knowing she's ineligible being HOH. So really whoever the majority of those people vote for should be the nom. Not sure how much stock to put in online polls since only an incredibly small % of BB viewers follow online. My money would be on GM since she finished 3rd last week and I'd guess a lot of those Aryan votes from last week will go to her this week.<br /><br />BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-154223015064054315.post-66809094566693599132013-07-27T10:58:55.800-05:002013-07-27T10:58:55.800-05:00McCrae said last night on BBAD (to Judd I think? )...McCrae said last night on BBAD (to Judd I think? ) that Amanda isn't worried about being put up by the MVP because they have the votes to get rid of Howard this week.
