It’s just so interesting what we cling to.
What if you found out that your favorite player was an atheist, or gay, or a democrat, or all three? Heavens to Betsy.

My favorite players are all Vols; they can sleep with whomever they like as long as nobody's injured or forced. As I'm not a zealot, I'm not a fan of involuntary prayer.

But we all have bias and viewpoints and that colors our conversationsand our perspectives.
I, for one, am not trying to make it political ... but I am an independent thinker. Biden was my president and now Trump is my president and there were and are things I disliked about both. But I was and am still a Vol fan.
But by arguing that we should remove both political points of view and religious convictions from our discussions, doesn't that mean you are espousing an apolitical and antireligious point of view that you are asking us to adopt. Isn't that the same thing that others are doing ... expressing their point of view????

Freak has stated that politics are not welcome on this forum. Wish the same were true of religion.
I’m here for Vol sports. That’s all.

If that were true, Notre Dame and Liberty would never lose.
If there is a God, hopefully there are bigger concerns than sports to intervene on.

Many people confuse following the church for following in the footsteps of Christ. Whatever helps you get there matters, but false idols are everywhere.

I know I’m not trying hard enough. Every day I wonder whether I ever will. Christ, please have mercy.

I've never understood why anyone, like yourself, would comment on a post like this. It is a wonderful thing see for those of us who follow Christ. I now understand! I prayed for you while I was filling up with gas earlier today. I hope that you are able to develop a relationship with my risen savior. I also encourage others to pray for those who think they are walking alone and that this earthly vessel is the end. Go VOLS!

Because I don’t see praying as a wonderful thing.
I know most do and at one time I did.
Now I just see it as silly talking to myself.
Those of us who don’t believe in anything extra terrestrial are just fine with living for today and not some glorious afterlife.
But, once again, as a former “believer”, I understand the pull of religion and how it makes many feel better about dying.
I used to feel that way.

All that being said, arguing religion is a circular argument.
I can no more convince you that there is not a God than you can convince me that there is one.
Go Vols! We certainly all ageee on that. 🤗

Please please let this be an invitation to debate Pascal’s Wager!

Pascal’s Wager: A Pragmatic Argument for Belief in God - 1000-Word Philosophy: An Introductory Anthology

Should you believe there’s a God? To answer this, we might examine arguments for theism—like first-cause and design arguments—and arguments for atheism—like arguments from evil. These arguments offer evidence for and against God’s existence. Pascal’s wager, originally proposed by Blaise Pascal...
