Is this where you demonstrate your misunderstanding of what a scientific theory and "evidence" is?



I know you're not going to change your mind. But, I'd suggest that you read some books that aren't just meant to confirm your beliefs.

And I would suggest the same, on both statements. Good fortune to you

It is a great image, a portrayal of the America we know, not the one many on the left and media want us and the world to believe. It shows blacks and whites who participate in a sport characterized by masculinity, working side by side to achieve the same goal without racial animus, praying to God to ask support and guidance for the country and President Trump whether they agree with his politics or not. It shows how perseverance and hard work bring success and achievement.
This is why we see attempts to destroy football.



Right but its not news, its a photo op for Trump.

How do we know they Prayed for Trump? They could be praying for anything "with" Trump in the general vicinity. For all we know they were praying for Mueller to wrap it up, but If I had to guess they're praying for 2019 Model year Chargers.

Can you imagine what that crazy would have been doing yesterday? He may have looked like one of those fans at media days, with a giant championship ring hat or a rasslin' title belt

Probably the most untrue quote I’ve ever read...., but considering it was foolishly uttered by Madalyn O’Hair it makes perfect sense why you thought it was an appropriate quote to reference. Lol!

I'll strongly disagree with you.

All of these "thoughts and prayers" aren't doing shite.

It doesn’t mean there is one. People see evidence of Bigfoot, ghosts, Nessie, etc. it doesn’t make them real.

The only truthful answer to the question of “is there a god” is simply “I don’t know”.

It’s possible there is, but it’s just a likely that there isn’t.

Can prayer have a psychological benefit? Absolutely. Does you praying for someone else in another country who is totally unaware you are praying for them help in any way? Absolutely not.

And don’t post some ridiculous story of some buddy of yours who had cancer and everyone in his church prayed for him and he got better and try to pass it off as proof that prayer works because for every one of those stories you hear, there are thousands of stories where everyone prayed and the person still died.

That’s your belief.
Mine is that God hears me.

Thy/God’s will be done, even when it’s hard for us to understand.

I don't want anyone to get the impression that I consider non-believers stupid or misinformed. I know faith is a mental obstacle that is difficult for intelligent people to get over. The parable about a camel going through the eye of a needle was not just about monetary wealth.

Please just remain vigilant in the search for the Truth.

No judgments from me. I wish happiness and prosperity for all

This is an awesome moment that these young men will remember forever.

Regardless of your team or political affiliation this is awesome to see.

It's news in the sense that it is a human interest story involving a well know champion and the president. if the Patriots or the Warriors had done this with the President you can bet it would have been all over the news.

maybe so, but not one he asked for. the players - led by JK Scott - asked to pray with/for him and he obliged.
