Lucinda | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 12:20 pm  I have to say that I am surprised to see that atheist thread continue to pop up all day today. Does anyone think Jamie knew that this would infuriate people and hurt Eddie's chances of winning? I cannot believe that in that chat, Jamie used her religious differences with Eddie as an example of how different they are. That issue came up ONCE in a conversation about Eddie dealing with cancer. Gee, Jamie, that sure is the ONE notable difference between you and Eddie. Nothing like a life in the pageants to help on hone her backstabbing skills, huh? |
Biggrandmother | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 12:25 pm  Yes, Jamie is trying to mobilize her HUGE fan base against the atheist heathen. Later in the interview she even quoted a passage from Revelations, "And the anti-christ shall hop forward, upon one leg..." She is like, sooooo out to get him! |
Rufusgriswold | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 12:29 pm  No, I don't think she's trying to influence our votes. She's said several times that she would be happy if Eddie won, but that she personally connected more with Josh and Curtis. Jamie finally revealed an honest thought about one of her fellow houseguests. Wasn't that what everybody has been screaming for for three months? |
Lucinda | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 12:32 pm  Yes, her honest assessment of a fellow houseguest has nothing to do with anything that actually went on--but rather something like "Yes, we're so different. I am a member of the majority and he isn't. Did you all hear that when he said he didn't (gasp) believe in God?" She is pandering to the lowest possible mindset. Give me a break. |
Zappre | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 12:36 pm  Lucinda: Sounds like she offended your religious sensibilities more than Eddie's. Give US a break and work it out with your priest/imam/rabbi/etc. If she had said she agrees precisely with what Eddie believes, you'd have been here slamming her for wanting to be too much like Eddie. Sad. |
Rufusgriswold | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 12:39 pm  Actually, I don't think she said anything about the "majority." Interestingly enough, I don't necessarily believe in Jamie's "God," and I still don't like Eddie. I respect everybody's right to an opinion here, but some posters are really stretching my patience. I'll give you a break if you will give it a rest. She's gone -- FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO HATE!!! |
Snogrl | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 12:49 pm  I must have missed something. Forgive me for being behind the 8-ball, but would someone be kind enough to fill me in. When did this interview take place? With who? What questions were asked? How did she respond? Thanks |
Joynow98 | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:00 pm  Biggrandmother, I haven't had a chance to see the interview yet...I do hope that you are pulling my leg! :D |
Rufusgriswold | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:00 pm  See the threads "Jamie on Early Show Early!!!!" and "Eddie's an atheist?" for the two earlier trash Jamie threads on this subject. |
Snowgirl | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:27 pm  There are people here that scrutinize Jamie's words and actions as if studying the Dead Sea Scrolls. Some people are gonna have A LOT of time on their hands when this is all over. |
Elisa | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:28 pm  I took this from saveeddie.com Eddie says he doesn’t believe in God. He told Brittney, that his father does, he wasn’t sure if his mother did, but that he definitely didn’t. (His belief is something that bothered Will and continues to disturb Karen.) He believes he got through his illness solely with the help of his family, doctors and medicine. He doesn’t believe in heaven or reincarnation. “When you’re gone, you’re gone.” -Eddie said to Jamie. "I do believe in God. I won't tell these people that. But I do." I remember the conversations but I don't remember who he was talking to during each. |
Rbc | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:35 pm  My personal opinion is that Eddie does indeed believe in God. Perhaps it is Jamie that doesn't. If she does she should read the bible so she will know how God wants us to be toward one another. How can Jamie profess to know what is truly in someone's heart? Jamie is just out for Jamie and for nothing else. To say she was there for the experience was dishonest because she was too concerned over her image. IMHO |
Leef57 | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:37 pm  Time to put this behind us! TRY, PLEASE TRY, to move on. |
Snowgirl | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:41 pm  Yeah, rbc - isn't it one of the commandments? No. 14 - thou shalt not be false on reality television. I'm sure God cares a lot. |
Kathyb | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:42 pm  Eddie is on record as SAYING that he's an atheist, and now Rbc says he doesn't believe Eddie and furthermore believes that it's Jamie who's the atheist??!!!!!!! I'm really glad this is almost over. |
Snogrl | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:49 pm  Ok - I answered my own question If anyone else is wondering like I was, Jamie said this on the AOL Live Chat. |
Majic | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:49 pm  Who really cares what Jaimie says, probably nobody who was still voting. |
Russ702 | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 01:52 pm  Not to mention that everybody was not on camera all the time, especially early on. The most we could ever see is four different cameras. I'm sure there were a lot of conversations that nobody but the control room ever saw. |
Renee | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 02:05 pm  "My personal opinion is that Eddie does indeed believe in God...How can Jamie profess to know what is truly in someone's heart?" Gee, I don't know. How DO people do that? ROFL |
Cfan | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 02:51 pm  Eddie himself said he was an atheist. Why does that matter? Will it change your opinion of him? It doesn't matter to me. I don't understand what the big deal is? It doesn't change who he has been to us these past few months. |
Dancer1966 | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 03:08 pm  LOL at this thread and issue that won't die. Don't we all know we aren't supposed to talk politics and religion. I think the original posters question/idea was a valid one. Did Jamie throw the loaded word "atheist" out there a some kind of dig against Eddie. I beleive she did. She has this passive aggressive way of being nice and yet putting people down (like when she would read negative banners about George nice and loud and then look sadly at him). I'll miss this banter! |
Dpmd | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 03:11 pm  Nothing plactic girl does would surprise me. It sounds like sour grapes. |
