So from now until the derby, this will be my tactic for when your team posts something like the above: @happycamper, @renoskier, @tspoke, @SJSUMFA2013, @Maji, @IanforHeisman, @retrofade, @AztecSU, @NVGiant, @sactowndog, @NevadaFan, @Nevada6077, @818SUDSFan, @youngredbullfan, @Lester_in_reno, @Billings, @Akkula, @son of a gun, @UNLV2001!!!!! If people responded every time NC or Bob posted something like this, we'd all have much higher post counts Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

He’s made plenty of bad comments. But you never go after him. NEVER. Or anyone else on your team. But it’s not as if you’re intellectually honest or consistent, so doesn’t do much good to point this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTanked Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Anti-religion zealots are just as bad as religious zealots. Both approach interactions from a place of superiority, as if they alone have figured out the secret sauce to human existence and everyone else are rubes. Screw them. I say this as a member of no organized religion. That said using death as some kind of proof God doesn't exist is pretty dumb. God has existed, in some form, for the vast majority of humans who have ever lived and every one of those humans has died or will die. That argument does not prove or disprove anything. The intent of belief in God is not to achieve immortality on Earth. At least not that I have found in any studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't subscribe to any certain religion, because I don't believe in the "My God can beat up your God" aspect, I still have a healthy admiration for religious people. People who live by a code allow for a successful society. As long as there is a healthy variety of belief.. You can disagree with the code and still respect it.

Interesting that we don’t see the following people pushing back on USSR2001’s disgusting remarks about 45 people getting crushed to death: @happycamper, @renoskier, @tspoke, @SJSUMFA2013, @Maji, @IanforHeisman, @retrofade, @AztecSU, @NVGiant, @sactowndog, @NevadaFan, @Nevada6077, @818SUDSFan, @youngredbullfan, @Lester_in_reno, @Billings, @Akkula, @son of a gun But we all know why that is. Yeah, teams and shit. Derby nominations are right around the corner. Lol I've been working long hours, and that comment was posted yesterday. Expecting someone to read all the comments made during work is unrealistic. Sometimes I'll briefly skim through things during lunch or my 15 minute break, but I missed this individual comment. Also: if I condemned all the posts I disagreed with, I'd be responding to the majority of the posts on this forum As for the comment: Tragedies don't disprove the existence of a God.

Could be true, because every draft day & recruit signing day, god seems focused on helping the players according to the tweets & releases they put out Perhaps the gods are more of the sports nature & nor so much saving souls & clean living as we've been led to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
