I am enjoying very much how bad Pujols has been this year. Loved the guy while he was a Cardinal . . . But I really am liking this.

Sweet! Thanks for the updates guys Gameday looks to be back up now.

What happened? Gameday is down for the count.

Dunn grand slam here? *fingers crossed*

Morel with two walks? Wow

. . . And of course not.

Bases loaded on 2 walks and a HBP. Come on, cash in on this AJ!

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ May 15, 2012 -> 04:54 PM) What was the other game like this this year? I left and I swear it was like 6-0 and when I got home that night we lost the game, I think all in the 8th or 9th inning. Was that the Orioles game? That one I did the same, went to bed or something figuring an easy win and woke up to find an L. Sucks.

Right, and again, I don't have the facts so I apologize for "offending any Mormons". I wasn't trying to convert anyone. All I was saying is, if you want answers on why Christians believe what we believe, there it is. Listen or go to something and discredit it all, I was just mentioning it.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) I'm honestly not trying to pick a fight. I'm just tired of seeing the "My religion is awesome and all of the other ones are dumb" line of thinking. And I never said "all of the other ones are dumb". I pointed out Mormonism because it was mentioned as being the same as my religion. I don't believe God had sex with spirits to create all of us, I don't believe the virgin Mary got pregnant with Jesus by God. Those are Mormon teachings that go against what I believe. That was my only point, is that I don't want to be associated with Mormonism. I may have went a little far calling them a "cult", considering I can't back up my opinion. There are plenty of religions that have the same ideas, I wouldn't say they are all correct (again, in line with what I believe), but they are close enough.

In some ways Christianity is a cult, but really I guess I don't know how to back that up - Eh, it is what it is. Like I said, you have your beliefs and I have mine. I take back my statement, I guess I shouldn't try to fight a battle I'm not equipped to fight.

I guess I just know that it isn't right, according to my beliefs. Its plain against what the Bible says, which makes it wrong. I have heard many sermons saying Mormonism is a cult. Don't take my words for it, if you think it isn't, Google it. Then again, you can Google anything and come up with an "answer". So, as I said, I believe what I believe, you believe what you believe.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) Oh come on now. This crosses the line. You were raised Christian so of course you think your beliefs are a religion. If your parents raised you as a Mormon you'd feel that Mormonism is a religion. Also, for someone to mention "I won't judge you" and then call a differing religion a cult in the same breath is quite funny IMO. Not judging, I guess it sounds judgmental but really, I mean that as I would never hate someone for it. I know people have different beliefs. Some of my best friends don't believe in God, some unbelievers are the nicest people out there, and some believers are the worst people out there. It is what it is.

Man, I wish I could fully retain all of the information that I learn in church so I could contribute in the discussion better. I believe in the Triune God and I believe that after death, believers in Christ will be in heaven and life will continue and be perfect. Those who don't believe will be in hell and have the devil to deal with. Every year my church does a program called "The Alpha Course", its actually starting up this Sunday night. It answers a bunch of questions like "How do you know God exists?", "Who is Jesus?", etc. Its all geared toward unbelievers and answering these tough questions. I did it last year, and like I said, not being the smartest guy, I couldn't retain all the knowledge; however, I've grown up believing in the Bible and Jesus as my Savior. It is my belief, I put my faith in Christ. For those who don't, I don't judge you, I don't think bad about anyone. I know some believe and many do not, its life. Its free-will. I would really encourage any of you to find a local Alpha Course, or online course if that even exists. Even if it doesn't "convert" anyone to believing in Jesus, at least its a way to put your thoughts/beliefs up against Christianity. Also, someone had said somewhere in this that Mormon and Christianity is related. It most certainly is not related. Mormonism is a cult. Christianity is a religion. There is a difference there.
