Albert thanks God like if he doesn't he will all of a sudden lose the ability to hit or something. Some take it very seriously, some dismiss it. It's whatever, he just certainly wouldn't be the first.Quote:

But to just jump in and say, too bad there is not god, so it's pointless is an ignorant statement.Quote:

It is something out of our control. We don't even have the ability to comprehend what a God or gods would likely be like. We don't know for certain if there is a God or gods. that's why it's called 'faith.' And until we know for a fact one way or another, it's a ****ing retarded statement and very ignorant and small minded to make such a judgment.
Either way, we all know what each other on here thinks about the topic, it's only going to end ugly and get stupid if we all get uppity with our opinions on it.
Good for him for pursing a life that he wants to live. Obviously it's a huge and very important part of his life. It couldn't have been an easy decision, and I am happy for him. Anyone that can walk away from such an amazing possibility and career that most people only wish they could get to says a lot about how serious he is about his devotion to this life and his profession. I am positive he must be a very happy man, who sees that he could make a tremendous impact in the world around him to make this kind of decision. I've said my peace, I'll try to stay away from this topic because I am positive it will end ugly.
I am TOTALY on the same page as you Jeffy. It is your own personal beliefs. Kids at 6 believe in Santa, does that make them little idiots?Quote:

You know those gifts your cat probably leaves on your doorstep? Yeah, those were from Santa. He was hit hard by the recession and has had to metamorphosize into a cat.Quote:
