Yes. Try this thought exercise. Name a single gender nonbinary woman of color who has ever started a world war. What's that? You can't. #IRestMyCase #RuPaul2020
Outstanding work right there. Well played sir.

The Catholic Church doesn’t have a pervasive and centuries-long problem of priests raping boys because their fairy tale dogma says they can’t have sex or marry, so they take advantage of children, the most vulnerable people in society?
Multiple religions don’t encourage and promulgate arranged marriage regardless of the approval of the teen and preteen girls involved?
Muslims don’t behead non-believers in the Middle East because their fairytale book tells them it’s ok, and even expected of infidels?
Christians didn’t crusade around the world executing millions of people and taking over their countries and cultures under threat on not converting to said Christian mythology?
Religious organizations in the US aren’t exempt from paying taxes?
Israel and Muslim countries don’t shoot at each other over their walls because each side thinks their own goomba in the sky is the correct one and that the land is a birthright given to them by their spirit deity?
Alan Turing didn’t get his nuts cut off because the state found out he was gay and being gay isn’t allowed by the man in the sky?
Your ignorance is what’s “breathtaking.”
He will be walking on eggs...needs to do well, but not show "too much" talent and play-making...or he will rot on the bench.It would be a miracle if he came in and beats out 3 quarterbacks that have been in the program working hard.
The founding fathers wanted to protect religion from the government, not protect the country from religion.A small percentage of Catholic priests have done terrible things and that is shameful. The vast majority of priests have not and most of them are great men.
Some religions do force marriages but I am only defending Christianity.
Radical Muslims do be-head people and commit acts of terrorism. Most Muslims do not.
Christians did not crusade around the world executing "millions" of people. That's a complete exaggeration and they didn't set off to execute anyone. At the time, it was culturally acceptable to take over other countries. People of all religions, races and creeds did it to each other. That's using modern norms and imposing them into the past.
I don't get what your point is about religious organizations being exempted from taxes. So are other non-profits. I know the Founding Fathers believed Religion was necessary because of man being prone to slide into evil.
Modern Israel was created in 1948 and there have been wars there because Muslim countries didn't accept modern Israel. It really isn't about religion between them but about who should have the land. Prior to 1948, Muslims and Jews got along relatively well.
I don't know anything about Alan Turing and his nuts. If some religion did that to him because he was gay that is wrong. But today, being pro-traditional marriage could bring you hate, screaming and threats.
The Iowa staff encouraged him to enjoy his senior year, which he said was a relief to he and his family, so he will not be enrolling early. He also said that he thinks a RS season might benefit him.
Iowa will always spend some time under center, but I think we will see a lot more shotgun going forward.
Also in the article: Hogan ran a 50-flat 400m as a freshman. That is legitimate wheels.

I was so excited to come into a thread and talk about the dude that I hope is the starter in the fall and a guy with leadership qualities that the program hasn't seen since Drew Tate, and I get...this.
A pox on all your houses.
I'm right here.Wheres Fryowa to tell everyone to get this shit out of here? Oh wait....

Oh good, now you can tell everyone to quit talking religion on here.I'm right here.
You must be new.Oh good, now you can tell everyone to quit talking religion on here.
I am. I confused you with the guy who bashes everyone for talking about this shit, then goes on a tangent (a bad ass one at that) on this thread.You must be new.
Badass as in you found it informative and enlightening?I am. I confused you with the guy who bashes everyone for talking about this shit, then goes on a tangent (a bad ass one at that) on this thread.

Thanks! I have half of my sermon done already for this week!No. Moreso badass as in I think that way too. The only minor difference is I realized at a young age that religion and the whole heaven and hell thing is made up, so I just assumed that meant there is no way we were created by a higher power and there's definitely no after life. Over the years I've thought about it more and realized that just because religion is made up, it doesn't mean we weren't created by a higher power. It's just beyond obvious that he isn't watching over us with the intent of judging where to send us for eternity. It also doesn't mean there is nothing after you die. Hell even if we weren't created by a higher power, it's still possible there is something after death. Those two things don't have to go hand and hand. That said, I still highly doubt there's an afterlife. I just realized that just because religion is fake, it doesn't rule out that possibility.
I also agree that the idea of god was created to explain something we couldn't explain, just like Zeus was. What I find interesting is no one realized it didn't really answer any questions. All it did was change the question. "Now we know how people got here but we still don't know how god got here". It doesn't help explain shit. Something still got here in an unexplainable way, so why add in a god?
And also like you said, religion was created to help scare people and keep them in line. When they're kids you can tell them to be good or Santa won't bring them presents. I've always thought going to hell is just the same scare tactic, but for adults.
Can I write next week’s?Thanks! I have half of my sermon done already for this week!
