The whole point of praying before a game isn't to have god help you win the game or get a base hit. It's tough to explain, but mainly, from my experiences at least, it's to ask god to help you play up to your abilities and watch over you during the game.

 

As for the sign of the cross and stuff after homeruns and base hits, save it. In my book, that's showing off the pitcher.

Just one time I would like to see a player call God out when they f*** up for the sake of consistency.

in a scientific sense; no one knows why there is reality, existence, time, space, or anything. probably never gonna know.

Never say we won't know something. It may not be in your lifetime, but don't count us out.

Honestly, if you're speaking of something not in our lifetime, isn't that version of scientific opinion not much different than faith-based religion?

 

"Well, we don't know for sure, but we believe in it even though we've never seen it."

 

 

I believe in the soul. The cock, the p****, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

 

Crash!

Science is plenty faith based. It's impossible without a strong belief in the concept that there are laws in the universe that are either fixed or vary in fundamentally systematic ways. Basically you're required to believe in inductive reasoning. Because I believe in that, it follows that I can assert that everything can be understood with enough data. The question is whether or not it is actually possible to gather that data on a reasonable timescale. I can't prove that, but nor can another person prove that there is data out there that we can't acquire or observations that we can't make. I just feel like history and my understanding of the universe backs me up;the constants and laws out there keep being constants and laws. The sun keeps rising every day. Reaction constants stay constant. Just because we hadn't figured out how to measure them before the first papers on them doesn't mean they weren't there.

Never say we won't know something. It may not be in your lifetime, but don't count us out.

 

i did say 'probably never gonna know', and i stand by that.

 

 

 

Huh?

I kept drinking after I drove home. And when I say "home," I mean my fraternity house (where I have a room) so there were a bunch of guys there and we kept drinking.

I took a sex-ed class in college and felt the wrath of an angry female when I expressed the following opinion: I think most girls who say they've been "date raped" really just got drunk and did something they regretted the following day. I'm not saying date rape doesn't happen, but I think it's incredibly unfair to a guy who hooks up with a girl who's had too much to drink that he might later be accused of rape because the girl wasn't using her best judgement. And, no, I've never been accused of this, nor do I know anyone who has been accused.

Here's an easy fix: don't f*** drunk girls.

It's not about spite. I can't speak for other religions, but I know with most of Christianity it is believed that non-believers, if virtuous/good/etc, won't be punished, but would be in a purgatory/limbo type place. I don't necessary believe that, nor do I believe a lot about what Catholicism says, but I do believe there is some sort of greater power out there that is beyong my comprehension.

Actually, I think only Catholics have that option. I've never heard it preached in a protestant church.

Yeah, we Catholics have made up a bunch of wacky stuff. Unbaptized babies go to Limbo, but not Heaven. Folks who were mostly good in life have to take a stopover in Purgatory before going on to Heaven. Our priests are the only ones who can actually pull off the miracle of transubstantiation and all those poser Christian denominations are just going through the motions. . .

 

On the bright side, between the options of the 11th hour deathbed confession or just buying a boatload of indulgences, even lazy Catholics throughout history have been able to secure a spot on the Heaven express.

Don't forget the Pope-to-God red phone hotline!

Hell yeah! And that Ex Cathedra papal infallability thing is pretty sweet too!

Here's a couple no one has mentioned yet:

Spending Government money protecting endangered species (Just all part of the circle of life.)

Handicap parking spaces which lead to huge ones being made, or excessive spots created which aren't used all the time. Some of the criteria to qualify for a handicap spot is quite suspcioius too. We're not just talking wheelchair bound folks, but people who are blind (they aren't the ones driving) or people who have a hard time remembering phone numbers.

 

I work in a factory and cannot believe how many handicap spots there are, and most of them are occupied by guys who work on the floor!

The smell of watermelon is disgusting, and the taste is worse.

Abe Lincoln is overrated. That is all

The Extenze commercials with those 2 middle-agers talking about screwing and bigger c*ck size needs to be banned.

People who hate pit bulls and advocate the banning of pit bulls should be beaten with sticks.

Actually I f***ing hate that commercial too because it's such a blatant scam and it's allowed on TV.

 

I don't mind God Bless America - but it's NOT the national anthem and does not deserve the same treatment. If you don't stand for the national anthem you need to have your ass kicked, but if you want to sit or talk on your cellphone during God Bless America I have no issues with that.

The National Anthem deserve's all our respect,no doubt...

 

God Bless America sounds like something John Denver would've written.

Abe Lincoln is overrated. That is all

 

utter blasphemy

People who feel like this should stand in the ring with two fighting pitbulls so they know what it is like when these types get free and attack people.
