Pretty simple dude, Many here have no proof of Gods existence, just a belief, because some (like those that have lost babies @ Sandy Hook) are counting on seeing them when they reach the other side, who has the right jerk that hope away from those faithful, and to dispell their beliefs. And you have no proof to the contrary either, just skepticism. Some also believe in alien beings, who says they are wrong?, most that feel that way have no proof, just a hunch, or BELIEF. That has nothing to do with this...We have a religion forum, and normally stuff like this is kept there, that's all.  So you're experiencing discomfort over this discussion? So,,, IF Russell Wilson or any other players expresses their belief in God, we have to take that to another forum? Are you that fragile?

I don't think you're even close to understanding my feelings on this thread, lol. Nothing about any religion causes me discomfort. There are a variety of other emotions, but not discomfort or being offended, if that, I can assure you. Never mind, I'm leaving the thread.

I'm actually surprised this thread is still in the main forum.

I come here to talk about football, not God. Isn't there a specific forum for stuff like this? Can we PLEASE move it there? I avoid that forum for a reason.
*edit*
Here's the deal. I like you guys. I like all of you guys. I love this place. I am a NON believer, atleast in the stereotypical biblical god, and I think the "holy booK" is nonsense.
So try to think about this: You want me to respect your beliefs, but if I told you what my true beliefs are, you would NOT respect them, and so I cannot reciprocate.
I said I like you all. I want to continue liking you all and talking about seahawk football without having to discuss peoples personal beliefs and philosophys on things not related to seahawks football (in this forum).
There IS a forum for that kind of stuff, and for people like me who have alot of pent up anger towards religions, I can simply avoid that forum, and not have to deal with it.
I Hope people can understand atleast some of this, and understand why some of us don't want to deal with it, without being hostile towards us.

I'm quite bewildered why the mods haven't moved this out of the main forum yet. After all, I've seen much, much less divisive moved in a heartbeat in the past.

My brother lost his only baby girl (stillborn) and wants nothing to do with God. When I lost my Daughter, I had 'BROKEN' lights that had turned on when I mentioned her name. NOW, if only that was an isolated incedent?, I would maybe have dismissed it and moved on, but other things that have transpired in my life have left me astonished, with no answers or explanations...Coincidences?? NO DAMNED WAY!

Its just odd to hear the over the top responses of some of you on something that was obviously a joke. If the mere mention of God gets you in such a tizzy, you dont just have pent up anger towards religion, you have a pretty big problem you should probably address..

not the mere mention of God, that gets me in a tizzy. The mere mention of god in a forum where I go strictly to discuss seahawks football. Also.... since you are obviously a believer, then I assume you have no idea what it's like to go your whole life being told you are a bad person, who is going to hell, because you think the idea of the bible being real, and Jesus being the son of god is absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, I guess I shouldn't take you too seriously anyway since you can't have a conversation with someone who doesn't agree with you, without taking personal jabs at people. therealjohncarlson wrote: bellingerga wrote: I come here to talk about football, not God.

Until you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt there is a god (which you and everyone else on the planet can't) he's your imaginary friend. That's just it, I don't have to prove that I believe, because I've had experiences in my life that you cannot disprove. If you're not a believer, and you aren't looking, you will never find....Your problem. Question is, why do you feel the compulsion to try and take away the hopes of the disheartend, and disenchanted, is it a misery loves company gig? You have your experiences that convince you there is a god, I have mine that convince me there is not. There is no amount of belief that can make something fact. I accept that you in fact believe there is a god, but I don't accept that god is real. There is simply no scientific evidence to support that he is anything other than a figment of imagination, a bi-product of writings of old, that have been altered and manipulated at will through the ages, that and the desperate hope of mankind for something greater than themselves, so they don't have to fear their own mortality. You have the right to believe if you wish. I have the right to believe he's an imaginary friend. It's all based on point of view and point of fact. _________________  “There’s no reason, with Mr. Allen and the fan base here and the stadium, that this can’t be a stable, long-term winning organization.” - John Schneider

Bottom line: I dont give a shit if you believe in God, I dont give a shit if you don't believe in God. This was a harmless thread that could have been real funny and entertaining and had nothing to do with religion until a few assholes tried to push their agenda's, and that annoys the shit out of me.
