In other words, Protestant theology, if there is one, certainly doesn’t help someone to keep their faith, where Catholicism is oddly more merciful in meeting the frail human where he is. In short, here’s some emotional songs and an informative talk. See ya next week! Salvation is by faith. Just believe. It doesn’t ultimately matter how you live.

There isn’t. I’ve said it all along, it isn’t a “Catholics vs Protestants” issue. Protestants, themselves, can’t seem to agree on anything.

For example, Protestants can’t agree on:

Baptism / when to baptize
Communion / Lord’s supper (symbolic vs presence)
Church hierarchy / church structure and leadership (elders, deacons, bishops, woman’s participation)
Predestination and free will
Interpretation of scripture

Think of the vast differences alone between Episcopals — Baptists — Presbyterians — Church of Christ — Methodists — Pentecostals — Church of the Nazarene — Lutherans and so on.

There’s a reason you have 100s of variations of Protestant denominations. They, themselves, don’t know and can’t agree. They all vastly differ on gravely important topics.

Say what you will, but other than Vatican II, the Catholic Church has stayed the same since the beginning.

That’s not a thing where I live. :lol: You’re missing the point, though. Look man, I’m fully on as a Republican, SBC member, but these are elementary school aged kids. They don’t have a clue what politics are and their fat, stupid, hick, redneck parents on golf carts (because walking a few blocks in a gated neighborhood is too much) push it and think it’s funny. You’re stealing a kids time to have fun. Let them dress up as as real Halloween character or their favorite sports or action / superhero, not a politician.

My complaint was the over politicization of everything. The amount of MAGA stuff and a “Vanilla Ice” Haircut / Border Patrol costume (which was pretty creative). I’m no liberal Democrat, but these kids can’t even vote.

Halloween is about ghosts, witches, monsters and ghouls … more Jason’s and Freddie Kruger’s and less MAGA.

College Football: Week 10

Posted by GentleJackJones on 11/1/26 at 9:50 am

What we’ve all been waiting for. So many good games on.

Alabama @ LSU
Georgia @ Ole Miss
Miami @ Notre Dame
Kentucky @ Tennessee
BYU @ Utah
Texas @ Missouri

Just imagine if Oregon and Ohio State (Oregon @ Ohio State) were better…

re: LSU would beat Ohio State by 20

Tap the brakes. We’ve played two good teams — both on the road — and are 0-2.

USC is pretty good this year. Ohio State was on the road and with a backup QB.

Investing — Mid Term Elections

Posted by GentleJackJones on 10/26/26 at 9:22 pm

Have some money to invest … checks have now been cut by the estate administrator and are
In the mail. …not a terrible amount. It’ll be right around $120k total ($93k this week and the balance toward the end of the year on a closing).

That said, should I immediately throw it in the market on an index fund or wait a bit? I’ve honestly don’t think I’ve ever invested right around election time. I’m not even sure of the investing trends

re: Is ND affected at all by BYU losing?

It’s clear BYU won their Super Bowl last week. If they play again, ND wins 8/10 times. ND played like arse and were a couple of blown calls away from winning it still.

You act like BYU played a flawless game. The ran that stupid fake punt, fumbled a punt, and had another INT. They, equally, let Notre Dame tang around.

All year, I’ve heard about Notre Dame’s rushing defense and how good they are. BYU just rattled off 120 yards without their best player / starting RB. Notre Dame’s defensive line generated virtually no pressure on Bear whatsoever. Their star CB and S looked like they were playing two hand touch. Carr couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. And their offense consists of like 5 total plays. How many incomplete slot fades can one team run? I said it once, and the dummies didn’t listen, how on earth do you expect to be better offensively when you lose your two first rd RBs and your best WR?

If they beat Miami and win the rest of their regular season games, all will chalk BYU up to one bad game - BYU’s Super Bowl - and that’s fair. We’ll see. We’ll know more in 2 weeks. But the way Bear, Kasper, Rex, Gasker looked with LJ Martin out …. (Because, you know, other teams do have injuries too, Notre Dame ……) I think Miami dog walks them. I bet they score at least 5 touchdowns on that overrated defense and overrated secondary.
