This should be the deepest team in terms of available roster players for any given game. A full 13 man roster (on 12 scholarships). Last year we had 11 due to redshirts and lost Cook and Stewart for most of the season. ...

How odd.[/quote] Is that what it is? It is really weird. I guess I can't covet my neighbors' cattle or pretty maid if they have one. Something that Louisiana kids can relate to. ...

[quote]Yeah those guys really lived great lives after Jesus died.[/quote] Did you go to Church ever? Notice how Paul's letters to the Corinthians are read just about every Sunday? Paul was the founder of the modern Christian Church. He couldn't write about Jesus like the other doofuses because he ne...

[quote]How was Christianity designed to take advantage of people? In what ways we’re the founders of Christianity taking advantage of people?[/quote] The very first thing they did after Jesus died was set up collections. They knew how to do this because that is what the Jews and every other major Re...

[quote]You are correct in saying many people use religion to take advantage of people. But that’s like blaming a band that wrote a song because a cover band played it horribly. The message of the NT is love, man.[/quote] Except that Religion is designed to take advantage of people, songs aren't. ...

[quote]So in your opinion the lack of morality in America is due to people being taught they will be forgiven for thier sins if they are Christians?[/quote] It doesn't help and it limits lessons of morality to people on your "team". Then when people lose faith they can't reason anymore.

[quote]Sorry I’m not following this. The Bible specifically condems rape and pedophilia. Maybe I’m misunderstanding your point.[/quote] Practice seems to differ. Society as a whole condemns these things. Religious cults and Catholic priests is where these things break down the most. ...

[quote]rape and pedophilia is just a matter of opinion?[/quote] Based on history, those are messages from God.

[quote]They could have left out Moses and gotten point across. You see the historical and social context that the 10 commandments and Moses can be used in a public setting including with the US’s own history, but you think it has to be prohibited solely because of its religious context?[/quote] But ...

[quote]Just to clarify, IGWT was added to coinage during the civil war by this board’s favorite president, Abe Lincoln.
But it was in fact in the 1950s when it was made the national motto and placed on paper currency. And Under God was added to the pledge in the 50s as well.
I agree with your ...

[quote]But, reminding people of the objective moral standards that made this nation the greatest nation in the history of the world is a good thing- and the most sensible place to start.
