Is football the most boring of all sports? About 6 seconds of action followed by a few minutes of huddling up while the announcers (are THEY on steroids?) tell you what you've just seen and predict what you are about to see.

If something always had to have existed, why God, instead of the universe itself? Why bring God into it? If something arose out of nothing, why not the universe?

An atheist group has put up billboards showing a Nativity scene with the message: "You know it's a myth. This season use your reason." I think this makes atheists look as pathetic as the believers they're trying to slam. How about...

paulerland123 Atheism indeed is a religion, and a dreary one at that. The belief that there is no God is just that, a belief, like Christ-inanity.

Listened to George W. Bush on Sunday Morning today. He said he thinks he left the world a better place when he left office. Has he taken up drinking again?

paulerland123 Good coaching still counts, even in the NBA. That's why some teams lose leads and others overcome big deficits.

Hello, I'm new here, am just interested in your favorite movie and what you like the most about it... I also couldn't figure out what made Avatar a big seller, I know I liked it, but I just can't see what made it that...

paulerland123 Vertigo, by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak. The nearest thing to capturing the dream of life that's ever been put on film. A great adventure story, too.

paulerland123 Do I believe in god, or God? Everybody has his gods, but not everyone has a God. Personally, I feel that there can't be a maze without a center.

paulerland123 I'm 60 and I feel like it hasn't started yet. Life is one long process of waiting for something to happen. That's why we long for another one after this one.

paulerland123 This wasn't really my question. I asked, Why bring God into it at all? If we're talking about a mystery that can't be solved, why not leave it at the universe? Your descriptions of God are pure speculation.
