    Bucks will be good in a year or two, so there is some up side. I think my favorite part of the game was... "you should take rose out now" Bucket "You should take out rose now." Bucket "Rose should really come out now" Bucket All within 45 seconds or so.

    I think the hawks beat the wild. I have no clue who wins in a hawks/ducks matchup if it happens, but it will go seven. Really enjoying the playoffs so far.

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    You can say that again. Mods should probably just revert the atheism thread name and if I ever feel the need to start a religions thread ill just do it in the grown up forums. Was looking at posting some essays written by eastern orthodox theologians and after glancing at all the recent comments...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Correct, sometimes I don't present things very clearly. Was trying to respond to him in the context he was using the word since most people interchange religion, faith, and spirituality with even thinking about it.

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    I think you and he are using religious differently. While neither of you are technically wrong I feel that you are using it as a simple statement of belief in a creator without any distinction. While he on the other hand is talking more about outward fervor. His worry about being seen to be...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Thanks Hodj. I feel comfortable with it and get a sense of fulfillment from it. Not much more to it. But then I don't think there has to be any more. From my perspective religion has played three primary roles in our cultures. Education, comfort, and control. Sadly in the U.S. the controlling...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    I've watched that before and he does make a compelling argument. Outside of my faith I'm an incredibly logical person. However I still have that faith despite the idea of it being illogical. If i felt that my beliefs were detrimental to my family, my friends, or myself then i would probably...

    Or that things can change over time, like what we need to hear and understand in order to have a solid faith. However I have no prove of that so it isn't like I can give you a factual argument.

    Religions tend to morph with their cultures. Unless you are a solar scriptura adherent then the discussion shouldn't be particularly painful.

    I wish we had a viable religion thread. Doesn't feel right to use the atheism thread and the two actual religion threads that got started were trolled to pieces in the first two pages. Regarding your comment about pope Francis lurking, I really enjoyed his speech to the European union...

    Spring 2015 Anime Thread

    It wasn't actually. My love story is a shoujo romcom which usually means the whole series is wasted on the process of the mcs just getting together. They actually got together in the third episode which might be some new record. Then again the male mc in this anime isn't your typical shoujo guy...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Things might slowly go in that direction. Recently the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches have started rebuilding their ties with each other. Personally I feel its a good thing since both churches are so close in doctrine. The major difference being that catholics are more in to the...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Catholics are still demonized a bit down there. When I lived in Savannah it was fairly uncomfortable if people found out I was a practicing Catholic. Most of them didn't even consider me a Christian. In fact when people were referring to someone's faith they would refer to most protestants as...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Child abuse was and still is a huge problem in the Church. I have no problem with Hodj bringing it up at all because obviously it's a huge black mark. The same with the continuation and perversion of the crusades beyond the initial point of turning back Muslim aggression in certain parts of...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Being Catholic a lot of the people i talk to have felt the same way. We are one of the more left flavors of Christianity. I don't really get the thought processes of most fundamentalist protestents, and actually find myself in arguments with them more often then not. I suppose I can't identify...

    Forcing early backs in top lane and making them use their tp can be huge too. Gives you a much larger map presence for dragons or early game skirmishes.

    Glad to see you liked parasyte and your lie in April. The second was my favorite show the last two seasons. If you are still going for more over the top fun in your anime then you should give kill la kill a shot. It almost puts GL to shame with its energy.

    The quote is that they would never replace someone if they didn't want to go. In this situation hai is stepping down on his own like oddone or regi did. The replacement is most likely going to be incarnation who is supposedly better then bjerg when it comes to mechanics. From what I've read...

    Sorry for the derail from the current discussion, but i've been thinking about the whole idea of religious people refusing to provide services for homosexuals because of things like this RFA. Originally I was for them having the option for a number of reasons, not all faith based. However I've...

    Being a university of Illinois grad it's easier to root for the conference when it comes to championships. We really don't have any huge rivalries outside of Indiana in basketball and an overall dislike of northwestern. The trophy game with Purdue means nothing. OSU and michigan could care less...

    the reffing in the last ten minutes was a total shit show. Taking a three point play from wisconsin, then giving them the shot after the shot clock ended. No call on the judo chop. I guess it all events out since the calls hurt both teams but that was just pathetic. The couple of UK players...

    I wonder if Wisconsin will actually get some credit now. All I heard from the talking heads this week was how even though Arizona lost to them the cats were still a better team. Basically calling the win an fluke based on the insane second half three point shooting.
