Justin Fields is actually my favorite quarterback in the NFL but if yall do keep him then yall need to put a team around him. This has to be his last chance year.

He’s good with the community, he’s a good person, and I just don’t trust Caleb

He didn’t take the medical either which makes things a little more odd

Caleb has definitely raised questions during the combine. I get not throwing his stock can only go down but not taking the medical that is definetly strange. Either his ego is huge or hes trying to hide am injury.

Especially if he signs a contract like what Wilson had on Denver

I woke up now because I heard some of you thinking about how to stage a coup in a democratic nation

First you need to join a majority party or create your own, and have the support of that party

Second, you need to be elected, when you are elected, make some moves to ensure that your party has greater control over the senates and parliaments

Third, use your party to completely change your nation's judicial system, And include crimes such as drug production, robbery, murder, and serious crimes with a death penalty

Fourth, Mobilize your country's army, recruit more people, and hunt down the bandits while carrying out propaganda against them, telling some "extreme truths" so you can have support from the population

Fifth, take criminals who have killed or people who have done worse things, and put them in public squares, and let people decide and take justice into their own hands, This will make people angry at the criminals, and forget that you are reducing the power of the Senate

Sixth, declare corruption a crime with the death penalty, and arrest the politicians who are against you in an anti-corruption operation

Seventh, when you have little opposition, launch a coup d'état, and that's it

Now you have ended the crime, you have an entire army in your hands, population support, and an entire country in your hands

how much it seems being a terrible human being is normalised

mostly online however, but also in person. It's just wild that some people do not care for another person's wellbeing or mental state and will just do as they please

Most stuff would start an argument

But the NFL combine is useless, but we still need it. Tons of great players have had horrible combines but turned out amazing or the other way around, however if we don’t have the combine, the fact that we can’t see how rookie players may perform would spark even more debates about why their team is not playing well

It's okay to not believe in the Bible but you shouldn't criticize those who do.

and I'm going to be 100% honest... church is boring as hell. I've went once for a baptism and almost got kicked out because I couldn't sit still. I was insanely bored and just wanted something to do! and not to mention most people who go to church are just trying to hide their sins behind God, also most Christians kinda suck, most of the time Christians will go out of their way to enforce Christianity on other people, there are constantly people outside my school handing out church pamphlets! I know it sounds like I'm hating on the church but I'm not, I'm just ranting. but yeah a lot of Christians are "too faithful" as in they believe way to much. like these people devote their lives to slave away for god.

Members of Parliament,

Our Emergency Voting Session has concluded, and The Washington Federation's veto has been upheld. The final tally was 7 Overturn - 9 Uphold.

As a result, The Kaverian's Amendment to Article XII will not be adopted as regional law.

In other news, our next Voting Session is going to look a little different. Following my announcement of the Activity Committee, this time we're going to open the bills up to a public forum before going to a vote! Stay tuned for specifics about how that's going to work out, and in the meantime, have a great day everyone!

Yeah a lot of churches do a bad job of explaining the purpose of the sacraments, which makes them seem hollow. Personally, I believe that there's more evidence for God than just some book, which is why I am a Christian, but modern-day stuff doesn't disprove God. People who don't understand science or religion like to claim that science has disproven God, when in reality, you can't really disprove God. If you want to argue that science displays evidence for a case that God doesn't exist, but science doesn't disprove God exists. I happen to think, to the contrary, that science helps me to appreciate God and His design more

You know honestly a lot of people who claim to be Christians are culturally Christians, but not spiritually. A major part of Christian spirituality is humility and service, generosity and kindness. Honestly if you call Christians out on stuff like that and they're upset with you, rather than humbled, it's probably a good sign that they're not spiritually Christians

Great point, something that is hard for people to understand is that everything in life is nuanced, including with religious people. There are good people in all religions, but there’s also horrendous people who use it as an excuse to be abusive or manipulate

Science disproves parts of the Bible (specifically Genesis). Science can tell us that the Universe has existed for billions of years rather than 4000. What science does not disprove is the idea that the universe was created and has been guided by one or more intelligent beings of some description. It's unlikely that it's even possible to disprove that God exists.

Im a Catholic and I have to say that ive been upset with the way my faith has tried to appeal to others. I feel like the Church has been aggressive trying to push the views on to others rather than just trying to interest people in joining the faith. Its very sad and I hope things change. I also am not a fan of the recent measures the pope has taken. He is treating the Catholic Church like a political party trying to appeal to others when in reality they should have the choice to join the church or not.

Adreabhal, Puttt, Western Arba Fir

The Church shouldnt change its stance to pander to other groups. It isnt politics. The Church should have a standard of principles and carry those for the rest of time then people will decide if they choose to follow them or go somewhere else. I feel as the Catholic church has tried to pander to other groups and stray away from a few core principles that they have held for thousands of years. Thats the issue I have with the Catholic church and another issue in my opinion that causes people to leave their faith is because they feel the faith no longer is applicable to the modern world and that they grew up being told this is what you have to believe in rather than being comprehensively explained why people believe in this rather than just do it.

I agree with this fully. The church should be very cautious in changing their official doctrines, and while there is value in changing church doctrine in instances where the people in charge have gotten stuff wrong (geocentrism comes to mind, to name just one instance), ultimately, the church is supposed to be God's people on Earth, and such people should not change their positions based on what other people think of them.

I also believe that a big probably with organized Christianity is that it doesn't answer questions well enough or even encourage question-asking in a lot of instances, when in reality I do believe that God encourages his people to ask questions and be curious. There is value in recognizing that some things simply come with faith, rather than having a comprehensive answer for everything - God doesn't give us all the answers - but each person should be able to wrestle with those questions in community with other Christians and come to a conclusion from there.

I want to clarify that I in no way believe that people should undertake faith on their own and abandon the church. The church is flawed, but they are, as I said, God's people, and God intends for his people to be in community with one another (Genesis 2:18). Church reform can be valuable when its done wisely and not politically, church abandonment is not valuable for Christians as a group

I agree. Very well put.

The church should modernize doctrines but not change them. one because changing a doctrine means rejecting a previous founding principle and 2 Because if you change your stance on something you anger current followers. Youve already angered other groups that already arent a fan of your doctrine and now if the pope goes to a world confrence he will look weak for being unable to secure a church teaching.

If he wanted us to stay in the stone age, he could do it with the snap of a finger, but he created atoms, electrons, and made everything possible for us to use the things he created.

He wants us to discover the world he created, as a way for us to know him, and a proof of faith and goodness, he gave us things, and we make weapons out of them, he wants to see if humanity

Can be good using 1% of his power

And I believe that God created the universe, but nowhere in the Bible does it explain how the first animals were, it may have been microscopes, which evolved and became today's animals

And in the Bible it says that the human being was created from clay, which could be a metaphor, to say that we came from this earth and evolved from it, And God wanted this

God is science and science is god

The way to get closer to God, and if we discover the world he created

we advance in science, we also advance in our connection with God

True.

I both. I am also an atheist. Interactions with the church are inevitable. I have visited the Vatican and the display, obtaining and ostentation of wealth is to reflect on that in relation to poverty and ignorance in some Catholic countries. It also happens with other religions.

I feel like the Church has been aggressive trying to push the views on to others rather than just trying to interest people in joining the faith. Its very sad and I hope things change. I also am not a fan of the recent measures the pope has taken. He is treating the Catholic Church like a political party trying to appeal to others when in reality they should have the choice to join the church or not.

Well, I liked reading in the news that Pope Francis has said that homosexuals are also children of God, that homosexuality is not a sin and that those people who reject homosexuals do not have a human heart. I hope that the Pope said it with true conviction, not only to attract new people to Catholicism. I like to see these changes in the Catholic Church and I hope it is not just a political strategy.

I dont really have a problem with gay marriage its the fact that it just sounded like the church is changing its doctrine in general which means its straying away from its original principles.

Its kind of like if the democratic party came out and said ya hey guys so were against abortion now and oh yeah were cutting welfare. You dont win in that situation. You anger far left democrats. Conservatives already dont like you and now independents are less likely to join your party. Its a lose lose.

Absolutely correct, Yodlism is #1
