I think no one really "knows" anything when it comes to matters regarding "God". I think that for many people (not myself), it provides an anchor in a life of uncertainty. I don't begrudge those who seek comfort somewhere in what can be a pretty callous and indifferent life. Although when the fanatically religious try to impose their personal beliefs upon my life and the world at large, I most certainly don't care for that.

I always find it ironic that the anti-religious and the "there is only science" crowd find it appropriate to belittle those with a faith. What is science, if not a quest for understanding? Looking at life from a scientific angle can certainly provide answers to many questions, but there will always be questions unanswered regardless of the lenses we use to look at life. In the end, I think we're all more similar than different overall.

I'm not very religious, but with how we lost some games this year---Bucs, Falcons, etc. I can say one of you mother fugers must have really pissed God off this offseason

I asked God on Facebook who was going to win. I will get back to you when he responds.....

Find this funny, because I go to Liberty University (a huge Christian school) and one of our coaches says "God doesn't give a piss about who wins or loses this game, so you better work hard one way or the other".

He's British. He's not actually a coach more of a recruiter, and yes they can swear. We hired WCU HC to be our OL coach and he just lets everyone have it.
