I remember being shocked that the Baltimore Colts betrayed their fans, and snuck out of town in the dead of the nightSame here. Another factor for me was when teams started fucking over their fans by moving to cities that would build them a new stadium.
Unlike MAGAts and their Orange Messiah, I believe loyalty is a two-way street.
IMO, it's because they have nowhere else to go. Most don't possess keys to the front door.This forum does have seem to be fly paper for the mentally ill ..
It broke a decades long tradition. Not just the Colts, but all the other NFL teams who betrayed their fans by moving to another city, if not another state.I remember being shocked that the Baltimore Colts betrayed their fans, and snuck out of town in the dead of the night
Correct, you have to filter through the rantings of paranoid schizophrenics to read the reasonable posts!It's at least 50/50 where intelligent posters are responding and OCD dumbasses like Perry and Fredo seek you out.
The Raiders are the worst. Oakland to LA, then back to Oakland, then Sacramento, then Las VegasIt broke a decades long tradition. Not just the Colts, but all the other NFL teams who betrayed their fans by moving to another city, if not another state.
Not that hard even when both Perry and Fredo constantly change their usernames....behavior that is weird all by itself.Correct, you have to filter through the rantings of paranoid schizophrenics to read the reasonable posts!
It all comes to to understanding the motivation of the poster. While some just show up on threads to derail it or indulge their petty grievances, you can tell when others have a genuine comments or insights, or just want to make a harmless off topic observation.Not that hard even when both Perry and Fredo constantly change their usernames....behavior that is weird all by itself.
Atheist New Testament scholar Gerd Lüdemann evaluated every reference to Jesus' resurrection in the New Testament, as well as apocryphal literature. Through this approach, he offers a reconstruction of the probable course of events as well as the circumstances surrounding Jesus' death on the cross, the burial of his body, his reported resurrection on the third day, and subsequent appearances to various disciples.
The Christian faith Luedemann concludes ultimately stems from hallucinations of Peter and the other disciples, both men and women.
From a modern perspective this leads to the inescapable conclusion that the primary witnesses to Jesus' resurrection were victims of self-deception.
In conclusion, he asks whether in light of the nonhistoricity of Jesus' resurrection, thinking people today can legitimately and in good conscience still call themselves Christians.

Agreed on understanding the motivation of the poster. It's not difficult to identify which posters are very unhappy with their lives and seek to spread their unhappiness to others. It also indicates a high level of jealousy by those who attack those better educated, more successful and happier than themselves.It all comes to to understanding the motivation of the poster.

It seems like mental inpatient facilities must allow some kind of limited internet access to patients, no?
Resentment and imaginary grievances are definitely are huge motivators for thread derailersAgreed on understanding the motivation of the poster.

I always figured the anonymity of the keyboard allowed these people to indulge their bigotry in a way they feel unable to around co-workers and neighbors.Not sure about mental facilities, but no doubt they'd allow some access to keep their patients busy. I know retirement facilities offer Internet access for that reason and suspect that family-member caretakers would do the same to keep their mentally-challenged or demented relative busy in their room. One area that interests me is the commonality of racism, antisemitism and misogyny among this same group of people.
They do, indeed, whine a lot.Resentment and imaginary grievances are definitely are huge motivators for thread derailers

A fine morning for blind bigotry...
which explains republicans and democratsOnly fanatics see the world in terms of only Black and White.
that is not what I said. Being agnostic, or even a believer in any of those religions at least is some sort of qualifier to studying the religion. Where it stops is being an atheist, in other words, not believing in a religion of any sort and purporting to explain said religion that makes you a false scholarSo you think all the American university scholars who study Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism without actually being members of those religions have nothing to offer and should leave their jobs? That's the logical conclusion of your claim that only Christians can legitimately study the New Testament.
At least the extremists in each party.which explains republicans and democrats
I agree to an extent. An agnostic is supposedly unconvinced one way or the other. That is a good basis for critical scholarship.that is not what I said.

Sooooo.....I can't study Jihadist terrorists without being a Jihadist or a terrorist? Disagreed.that is not what I said.

A favorite story about this subject is with W.C. Fields, a notorious atheist. One day someone saw him in his retirement facility room reading the Bible. Knowing his history, the person asked "What are you doing?" "Looking for loopholes," was his dry reply.I agree to an extent. An agnostic is supposedly unconvinced one way or the other.

I always kinda wondered why atheists were investing time researching the Bible at the university level.
There is this widely known atheist influencer named Alex O'Connor who actually went to the trouble to get a theology degree. And I don't think it was because he wanted to expand his spiritual horizons. I think he wanted the acquire the knowledge to be able to argue with religious people.

I suspect atheists researching the Bible are looking for evidence to disprove it....which there is a lot that stretches credulity, but not disproving existence beyond the mortal.
