American Football is just a long commercial-fest with 10 seconds of play in between. The teams come on, one player gets tackled ferociously and the play stopsfor an athlete's foot commercial.

Rugby has two teams which stay on the pitch for the duration of the game, where the offense is also the defence and where they don't have armour.

Saying that the armour is there because American football is tougher is just blatant denial of the fact that the players wear armour because the franchises (as you call the NFL teams, which I have no idea why), put the revenue that their stars generate above in priority of the actual ability that they bring to the game.

I could continue to argue this further, but the fact that most of the world watches or plays Rugby, much the same as soccer speaks volumes. Especially when only the US seems to play football and watch it. Looking at NFL Europe which just shut down, I think that also speaks for American Football.

The fact that you have not been in the position that I have been in, and experienced what I have under a religion, that I think has the answers to questions in my life, when nothing else could, yet sit there and say you are qualified with all these phony attempts at disapproval and criticism,is blind.

Trust me, I've been there. I was just as religious as you were. The fact that you sit there and judge my past without knowing me is blind. :lol:

You just keep contradicting yourself.

I don't judge you.

And you saying that I am blind does not make me contradictory.

You did judge me

I didn't say it did. I'm just saying that you keep contradicting yourself. I haven't done or said anything that makes you contradict yourself, you did all the work.

I didn't judge you or contradict myself. Ugh, this has just turned into a playground '"No I Didn't", "Yes you did."' debate. :roll:

Wrong. :|

Religion & Spirituality is meant to be believed, not proved. so fail.

Also, drawings in a book, or fossils do not constitute for the billions or even trillions of different types of organisms that are out there. You'd have to link up each one to make it proof.

You mean blind faith? :lol:

I don't worship something that can't be proved.

Rationality is the foundation of genius. Only rationality is the foundation of foolishness.

Yet people believe in Noahs Ark actually happening.. How can this be rational at all?

Well, it is certainly rational to believe that a man builta boat to escape an on coming flood. It is also rational to believe that this person could have took two of every animal (within reason) within a particular area around him.

Yes but taken litterally means the entire earth was engulfed from this.. Common rational thought alone would dispove that this wouldn't be possible.. The entire natural world was not discovered at this time, nor did one man have the technology, power to do this.. Lets not forget that it would cause genocide of the majority of the human race..

Y'ar darn tootin'!

What's blind about it? Just because something can't be proved, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's not being blind, its called having a believing.

fact is, that not every single organism that has ever existed on Earth can be examined properly in order to link them all together. As it stands, some of the major organisms have been linked and evolution -as of now- is the single best answer for how we got here.

It would be nice to have a chance to link every organism together. At least it's not being shrugged off as "god did it."

What the.. what's not blind about it? You believe in something that has nothing going for it. That is blind faith. It's a belief, but it's a blind belief.

You just proved his point.

[QUOTE="Total-KO"]

I dunno. I believe in a religion and I guess I could believe in a concept of evolution.

Evolution has a funny similarity with religion in that it is too based on the writings of a book. People criticise me that I believe in something that a guy could have easily wrote, when, in actuality, the same applies to evolution. I don't fundamentally hold Christianity as the 100% truth, nor do I do the same with Evolution.

The difference is that one book can be proved while the other book can't be proved; one is scientific the other is pure theology and speculation.
