Howdy! (wait--did someone already use that one...)

Good morning everyone!  I had a misfire when I registered in December, so I might as well reintroduce.  I am from Texas, and one of my best friends asked me about this site.  I have been thinking about it since I first registered, but have been short on time, being a dad.  I am a teacher, coach, and counselor, as well as a cowboys, mavs, and rangers fan.  I like to discuss faith, and I would like to hear from others who like to have discussions about it.

Romans 1:20 NIV: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

The greatest single cause of atheism today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny him with their life style. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

You and I are going to have a problem. You used the "C" word. Forget the fact that my Skins suck huge donkey dick, thus the "Facepalm Redskins avatar". YOU YOU YOU SO AND SO!

And watch your step here, Sapient is the owner of this site and an Eagles fan. He rides me like a rented mule. NO LUBE!

It is bad enough you came to your senses and ditched sky daddies, but Cowboys fan? WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?

Well since we are both atheists, I'll let it slide. But come our next meeting, I'll shake my fist and wave my hand under my chin like Curly at you!

Good morning

Sky daddies?  Whose nickname is that??? 

I would be glad to talk some NFC East with you, Sapient, or whoever else!  We can talk about why everyone is so jealous--wait, did I say jealous?  Have you seen the bus driver we have walking up and down our sidelines, or, even better, heard some of the things that come out of our beloved QB's brain?  I'll wait for the second coming of Aikman, and I'll wait with you and see how (Shanahan?) turns out.  Sapient can wait for, who knows what--I don't know where to start on those guys. 

On another note--sorry to disappoint about the atheist thing.  I'm a recovering skeptic--a believer in Jesus Christ.  That'll make our conversations all the more interesting, I hope. 

Have a good day, Redskins fan...

Ah, so you have fallen back to the Dark Side. Pity.

Humans are just so flawed, so flawed they can even believe in such nonsense....

Flawed

Wait, when you say nonsense--are you referring to the belief in a home field Superbowl in 2011?

Nothing as Holy as that - that is at least theoretically possible. (Ok, a bit of a stretch...)

Just all the God and Jesus and Bible crap. That stuff is not worth a pile of dingo's kidneys.
