Religiously, I am kind of in a rut (am I alone )
RomaVicta replied to Clintonaldo's topic in Cloak Room
Thanks for responding. I don't see how that refutes what I said. A person begins his belief about God by reading the Bible. The Bible is true because God wrote it. Written without rancor. -

Why does he think we sing and dance about them in every game we play? Hiss at them whenever we meet? Hate being little brother because A&M opened the doors to their mighty university a few years before we completed building an ugly campus in a shithole of a city? Everything we do reflects are unending obsession with Texas A&M University's Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas. I'm sure we're planning to get a bunch of sham soldiers to get drunk, sexually harrass women, and build a suicide bonfire of absurd height. We are so paranoid about m&a! There is indeed a reason. We weren't the slimeballs worshipping Jackie "Mr. Not Responsible" Sherrill who never sniffed an MNC game. And they lecture on integrity. A whole passel of Aggie facts: William gets them started. -

Don't mean to be obtuse, but I don't know what this means in regard to what I posted. -

The notions of salvation and heaven where you get to be with people who have died again are attractive yet unsubstantiated fictions. They are balm for regret and fear of death. Quoting the Bible to justify anything while speaking to a non-Christian relies on circular reasoning. That's unpersuasive. To an outsider, it's kind of embarrassing. -

Compliments on the post. I was sorta pushed down the same road back in my college years. My inner life was tumultuous. Upon analysis, I found the notion that when we died we just died near terrifying and all the way demoralizing. The several talks with evangelizing fellow students put me into a debates of their claims which only diminished my confidence that they were describing anything real. I revered the urgings to sympathy, kindness, and open-handedness made by Jesus. Still, any sense of a god described by any of the revealed (Truth!)religions made no sense. The fall back positions of blind faith and fear-mongering (Imagine the worst pain you could have lasting for eternity...blah blah blah) didn't exactly support the Jesus model. When I broke from all such notions, I was in my version of where you are. To step away was to reject the beliefs of a lot of very smart people as well as raising the dreadful question of "what's the point?" When I worked in those days, I'd always buy some books before I squandered my money. I'd at least something to show. The books were in the "plan to read" folder. One of them was Livy's The War With Hannibal. I wrecked a knee working on the oil rigs of Central Texas. My folks had moved to Lubbock where I didn't know anyone and it was there that I rehabbed that sad joint. So, I picked up Livy. There was my revelation. The Romans didn't believe in their own immortality. They got up everyday and weren't concerned about living forever. I had a model that made me feel less freakish. I'm not saying anything new to anyone on this board when I say that I saw Jesus (fiction or nonfiction? Who cares?) offered an approach to life. A philosophy. It went into the soup of philosophy I was boiling up to keep the feet moving through life. I stayed in that Roman world for a long long time. I added Greek history to the list. Pragmatism. The same virtues and flaws found among everyone. I loved it. I didn't read philosophy as such. I absorbed a workable philosophy through absorbing history. I respect the philosophy of Jesus. I respect those persons who feel they are moved by God to stick to that philosophy. Worship seems pitiful to me. It's a leftover from worship of the ancient gods of Greece and Rome. You're a good person. I try to be one. I feel good when I do something kind or brave or merciless in encouraging or discouraging the good/bad actions of others. For me, it boils down to this: I don't care what you do so long as you're not harming anyone and I don't have to watch. Apologies for not managing to be as concise as you. Your post explains your feelings and thoughts very well. I'm compelled to think about and relate to them. -

It's also amusing that by claiming they're not little brother and that they are a blue blood only makes A&M more of a little brother and more pointedly not a blueblood. People react the same to the sleeping giant blueblood claim as they would to Virginia Tech or Oklahoma State proclaiming themselves among the elite: You're delusional. Please stop talking to me. The vast majority of those fan bases likely never think about it and just pull for their teams as we do for the Longhorns. I don't think any so-called blueblood program promoted themselves into that club. I wouldn't give a second thought to not being considered that level of a program. I merely enjoy being in that group. It's a compliment the same as the elevation of the Aggies to the honorary status of Texas' little brother. Their association with us and the annual rivalry game keeps those morons on the map. -

Thanks, @Longhornfrenzy Well, if you have to ask... ...probably not, or you've found a new way to burn money. Yep, nothing more impressive than a flurry. No blizzard here. Just scattered flakes. It's not the calm confidence of raiding the MAC and Missouri Valley conferences where the real stars play. Aggie undefeatable retort: This guy makes a great point: Yes! You should be able to corner the market on top tier players who grew up in College Station! Get those guys, and it's CFP, here we come! He goes on: -
Texas A&M Recruiting 2026: The World's Drunkest Elk

Thanks, @closetojumping. I particularly like your comments on talent levels generally and particularly. I gave Tarp's article fair edits in an effort to see what ctj sees. Pretty much half-set, amigo. Also, it will be interesting to see is as close to Aggies get so far as saying something will turn out bad. It will be interesting to see how t.u.'s roster gets along after paying each DT 2 or 3 million dollars. And these "set" cb's? Lee is obviously good with one flaw. Sadly for the Aggies, it's shared among their top three guys. They better have a terrifying pass rush to shut down being shelled deep all season. Ricks was a five star which counts for everything if your team can't develop talent. At least, your stupid fans can brag about their players' high school careers. The last guy lost a starting spot and decided A&M was the place for him. At least they've got reliable, all around talented guys: Jordan couldn't get on the field to play man to man in the spring game. Tyreek will emerge from the injury coccoon as a relliable corner. Bravion? Well, ol' Bravion is longer than we all thought. There's always the future: 8. The freshman corners'll be asked to learn things this season to prepare them for future years. Impressive. Lastly, wordsmithing. If you only know one way to say something, say it twice for emphasis: His athleticism is such that his teamates can use it for conveying messages! This man is paid to write. -

Squandering? Have you not seen their facilitiesfacilitiesfacilties? They birthed an AggieFact that we spent $4MM on the new DTs and then plug and play from Aggie AI (Astonishing Ignorance) that this is a formula for disaster for t.u. -

Ol' Trev did that because he know Schloss was already swinging and inserting pineapples with CDC, stupid sip. -

I'll give Olin his due. This is a very sober article on their spring game. The tone is surprisingly reserved. No sunshine pumping. -

Breaking news! Sorry to interrupt this program, but this is very important! This guy has evidently been a Maroon fan for as long as that team has existed: My friend, you are a part of something bigger than yourself at Texas A&M University. Traditions. Pulling for the team no matter what. Bragging about how loud your fans can be. Hating your coloreds and swishes. And the ring! My God! The Aggies ring! Get your mind right, 2%er. I bet you haven't completely internalized all the lies we tell about t.u. Do you even call them t.u.? Do you even keep track of what we declare to be the modern age of college football? Go to that shithole school in that cesspool of a city. That's where you belong. You better hope Billy doesn't chase you down! When's the last time you bragged about our sacred facilities? It had to be a fiendish plan. Everybody knows facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities are the most important part of college sports. Second to that is renovating them constantly! -

Granted that they're playing really well, Aggies getting very Aggie. We're bad fans. Our coaches don't have honor. Schloss is nothing without his assistants. Sadly, nobody remembered the dildo stuff. * Lousy swinging bastard Schloss never fought his way back to 8-10 after starting 0-9 in the SEC, either! Put that in your dildo and smoke it! I'm sure no one will notice that t.u. run-ruled the number 8 team in the nation the same day. It was 7-0 after two innings. It's all about who's the bestest fans in all sports! I wish we were manly enough to fear homosexuals like manly manful Aggies are. Next up, Aggies on integrity, and a learned opinion about the geography of t.u. Hyde Park, West Campus, the Capitol grounds, and the million dollar homes east of I-35 are all death traps. I'll go ahead and swing at the hanging curve and point out that A&M's campus actually has been turned into a cesspool from time to time with raw sewage seeping from the ground. Anyways, they're very sure and excited about destroying us and taking their tornado to Omaha.
