When BAS made me a mod of this site.
The first thing I would do is to ban all liberals from posting on this site permanently. @):mad:

Business and familywise.. I'm far more successful than I ever dreamed. My business is booming and I'd be ok to retire tomorrow. Ill feel I made it when I achieve a little more success in my main hobby.

There's no hope in the world Illini? I'd sure disagree with that one.

I dunno, I mean I guess it depends on how you define hope. Was there any hope for the people that went aboard the Titanic that were dead meat and didn't know it would be so soon? We're all aboard the Titanic and the ship is going down. It doesn't matter how much money we win in the ship's casino in the next 30 years, because all of the contents are going to sink, guaranteed. It doesn't matter how much fun we have to take our mind off of our impending doom. It doesn't matter if we in the U.S. manage to avoid in our lifetimes all of the things that are going to eventually destroy the country. It sure as hell doesn't matter if the Cubs win a World Series, just as it didn't matter 5 minutes after my Cardinals came back from 10.5 out with 30 to play and then won it all. None of this shit means anything. And then you die.

Hope? If it doesn't rescue me from my coming destruction then it doesn't mean anything to me and I don't call it hope.

I have survived a likely death, married a wonderful woman, and have a beautiful son. We travel and do just about anything we really want to do. Don't see how life could get much better.

congrats 919

Fortunately I do have hope because I do believe in the Lordship of Christ. I do believe that we will suffer and eventually die here because of our sin, but I do believe that there is a God who cares and that there is redemption. I look at the stars and contemplate how big God is, and I crack up laughing at how awesome He is and how many dimensions there are that we cannot know or see at this time. That's what I'm living for. That's hope, to me.

I think that for most people, we chase goals and success because there is always something in the future that we haven't achieved that we think will fulfill us.

I chase nothing, and I am fulfilled. I do my best to be a good employee, and a good person, and obviously i put my all into a company, after that, i have nothing else. And I don't feel bad about that...

Well good on you. I pretty much hope I don't wake up every morning.

Sorry, since i'm not like this, but I think most of us, atheists and theists, are thinking the same. Mate, everybody has a voice. One is not the only one. Once you learn that, we will let you back in our play circle. Until then, piss of and find a forum of small minded like you.

I am a nice person, but i can never accept anyone putting down another based on religion, abilities, etc. We all have a limitation, and we all have to live on this earth.

Wait, what? I candidly share that things aren't going so well and you tell me to fuck off? But you're a good person, too? WTF, man.

You are blind to your own hypocrisy. You can never accept putting down another based on religion and then tell me to piss off at the same time. Absolutely unfuckingreal.

u start preaching at all of us. Since everyone has their own choice of religion or non religion, i call this preaching. Especially since this is a sportsbook site and not a religious site.

I maybe didn't see what was putting you down. I do understand being put down for being an atheist, not like any other religion. However, you acting and reacting like you are doing is not helping anything.

This is a wonderful community that allows people to talk about their differences, yet for the most part we all get along. We need to have people with open brains for this of course. We still have some stuck in their boots, but they have proven they are good guys, and we respect them always.

So you respect everyone and enjoy the differences in all of us. But you tell me to piss off because I disagree with you. That is hypocrisy, period.

I told you to piss off because you're an ass. I get this is an open forum, but there has to be a limit. And I am happy to be the bitch about it. So sorry.

I'm an ass why? Because I think differently than you do. Get over it, hypocrite.

I'm not a hypocrite. A hypocrite says one thing and does another. Learning the English language will be a good strength for you. I say my mind, always. Ask everyone; and as much as i may piss off others, i always speak my mind. Thankfully, i have a lot of backing and years in the biz.

You have the right to your opinion, which is why you are still here.
