  1. I love how we've begun to influence soccer as a proper soccer nation. If you noticed in the last 3 minutes England has switched to the GGG (and Austin FC) tactic of lazily passing the ball back to the keeper.
  2. I wish Tyrone Mings was healthy
  3. Short of a match vs Mexico, I almost always cheer against England but fuck Serbia.
  4. No worries, we're just the 2024 version of these dudes sitting around pondering the bigger universe and our place in it.
  5. Oh well then we should absolutely legislate the lives of others based upon our own personal religious beliefs because "Luke" was trying to get things right.
  6. This is a fanbase that is confident to be led by a meatball. UTV!!!
  7. See but the ambiguity is good for testing your faith or something like that.
  8. They've upgraded to it being a potluck once a week as the obligation, which is better than your weekly Krispy Kreme or Shipley. Also I'm sure small group is probably shorter than sunday school + sermon, but you do lose the smug feeling at McAllister's/Luby's/Picadilly afterwards when you see people not in church clothes.
  9. 100% but as a % of the overall population they are dropping as religious pluralism continues to grow in the US, which is annoying as it feels that they have more power than they've had in decades.
  10. Their church has the gall to allow a couple as co-preachers. They'll probably end up in hell with a woman preaching to them every Sunday. I did notice that when I was being raised, we were strictly a Sunday School and Sunday morning service family and that was it as far as our church lives. Now they're much more about small group meetings and skip out on Sundays. Maybe they're swingers for Jesus now or something? I try not to think about it.
  11. Anecdotal, but my parents fall into the former SBC now non-denom camp and they didn't really move for any particular theological or political reason but rather they're in their 60s and all the people at the FBC are in their 80s and their friends go to/run non-denom pop ups now so they do too. There is no real difference outside of the structure of the SBC church missing, ironically.
  12. Where my doubt really got started in REL 1310 my first semester when we got to the whole, "Well this gospel was probably first written down x hundred years after tradition states and wasn't written by this person but rather this person based upon this evidence" and all sorts of other things that were never taught in sunday school at the local FBC growing up. I wasn't really a religious person and only went to church because my parents made us go, so I was the perfect one for doubt in the text to grow with historical evidence.
  13. It has been falling for 20 years.
  14. Yeah but Uruguay shouldn't count. They're 1/72 the pop of Brazil and they can play with them pretty regularly. Similar to how Iceland with 1/220 the population of the UK is able to beat England and other cool stuff like that.
  15. Still pissed off about the 09 Confederations Cup
  16. A coach on the field, blue collar, brings his lunch pail kind of guy.
  17. If it was they would've been out of business decades ago. Is Masterpancake still going strong? I haven't been since the Ritz closed.
  18. FuboTV having 5 exclusives is bs. I want to watch some Georgia football Pawl!
  19. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/11/us/southern-baptist-meeting-women.html
  20. I've been to the Barcelo in Oaxaca and it has absolutely abysmal food (really nice staff though) so I hope for your sake that the Maya Palace location is better.
  21. I've peddled these from a grad school course I took on the history of religion in America, but both are fantastic and topical. American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon - Stephen Prothero Naming the Antichrist: The History of an American Obsession | Oxford Academic (oup.com)
  22. LOL we aren't going to be bowl eligible. Although give me the Alamo Bowl almost every year. They do that game up right and we're not UT where we look down upon it.
  23. POV of Tiana's Bayou Adventure that's replacing Splash Mountain was released by Disney. It seems pretty neat minus the signs looking cheap and might be missing some filler theming. The story is non-existent, but Splash Mountain's story was probably non-existent for first time riders too.
  24. Lol those Danes pretending to be Germans.
