    if there really were a Holy Spirit, Petrino would be our football coach and we would have hung 56 points on Florida today and be ranked #1. Case closed.

    He was good in Hogan's Heroes. I loved it when he'd do the stupid nazi voices. Wonder what made him so negative about religion? Maybe Col. Hogan kissed him where it smells funny one day and screwed him up in the head. Hogan was a weirdo, you know.

    Are u that insecure in your beliefs that you have to convince everyone to
    go along with them?
    I don't try and push my beliefs on you or anyone else.
    Why not let people believe and decide for themselves?

    I prefer Jesus to Warlocks and wizards, no thank you!

    There are enough good and bad people of faith just like atheists.
    I just laugh when people try and say how bad religion is in the world.
    Every part of our population has percentages of good and bad in it.
    Congress for example, Mark Foley, Shelia Jackson Lee, William Jefferson-La

    i wouldnt characterize talking about it in free speech alley as "pushing my beliefs". favoring putting "one nation under god" in the pledge of allegiance, thats pushing your beliefs on others.

    jesus is a warlock and a wizard. he casts spells and does magic and whatnot, i dunno who you think jesus is, if not a wizard, the most powerful wizard ever, except for his dad god, unless of course you are into the holy trinity and think jesus and his dad are the same thing kinda.

    of course there are. but religion is one more reason for bad people to use to justify doing bad things. it seems unlikely to me that terrorists would do as much killing without allah, and the idea (that you help spread) of the afterlife.

    Its an excuse.
    No one accepts responsibility now days for their actions, very few people anyway.

    We have a thousand excuses and reasons why we do what we do but that
    doesn't mean we actually believe its the truth in some cases.
    It also doesn't mean religion is bad because someone blows up buildings or
    drown their children.
    All that means is that people are bad.

    Yep, I believe in the after life but that doesn't mean I believe in Al Quada's
    after life.
    I guess you could lump us all together but then that takes away from your
    credibility.
    Religion does and has done a lot of good in the world also.
    Then again I would agree that religion does have some faults.
    It is a system in a not so perfect world, just like governments.

    Bayarea, what the hell's wrong with you? You're talking about one of the true legends of US history, and you butcher his name???

    Please don't make that mistake again.

    Well, crap. I guess this means he won't be posting anything from the Collected Works of Rod Roddy.
