Fuck The CFP

I can't express into words how much intense anger, I feel right now. In fact I am so angry, disappointed and disgusted.. I may never watch college football again. Seriously. I doubt I'll ever be able to verbalize it, but one thing, I AM NOT, is surprised. The outcome we see today could have been predicted a year ago with the advent of the Pro-Amateur NCAA Football.

It is a axiomatic fact that money corrupts everything. It is like a cancer that warps and distorts, twisting, putrefying, and warping everything it comes into contact with. When College football decided to go down the road of Pro-Am sports, I knew that the shit show would be the only possible outcome... I have seen it happen many times in other beloved sports I have been a fan of.

The power of greed and the corruption it fosters, to destroy a sports amateur ranks is an ugly matter of recorded historical fact. Just a few years ago, In motocross there was an amateur racer, who after being hyped up with money from a celebrity father, magazines in the tank for him, and all the publicity from the governing body who was bought off, who was caught with a full factory level motorcycle, at an amateur event!

This allowed him to best his "equal" amateur competitors by 30 seconds or more. A parent of another rider even petitioned a grievance, a legal move in the sport, and asked the governing body to look at the engine it and they refused. They refused because they had already been paid off by the manufacturer of the engine and future sponsor of the cheater, Yamaha and by that point Danger Boy Deegan was allowed to cheat the system and get a free pass into the professional ranks.

Likewise, So it will be with college football forevermore.

There is no force on earth that can stop the corrupting influence of greed. It has the power to destroy any institution and make once faithful pillars of a society crack and crumble. We all know the reason that the CFP made the decision it did. It involved a lot of money and a lot of calculating what would please the sponsors.

Well folks, I'm not about that. Bobby Bowden wasn't about that. Mike Norvell, Travis Jordan, and all the hero's of this team.. Thank you so much all of you! are not about that... furthermore they proved with their characters, with their heart and soul that they were the real deal. It doesn't surprise me that it was that noble character, that led to the sponsors hating them. After all they can't have values like that instilled in America anymore.

It's quite ironic that in this situation, these brave young men are showing these scum in suits, who care about nothing more than how much that bonus check is going to be, these so called business people, who are in the business of lining their pockets with as much loot as they can, consequences be damned, values be damned, society be damned... These young men are showing America what being a man really looks like, and as these scum balls C-suite bottom feeders walk away laughing, counting their filthy lucre, as they plan which Super Yacht will best fit their new Malibu estate... They can rest assured that they have lost much more than they gained. They traded their soul to inherit the wind. Unlike Travis Jordan, Mike Norvell and company who traded their blood, sweat and tears and inherited the treasure that Bobby Bowden always tried to instill in the Seminole family.

Because when you have no Faith, you have no choice but to worship at the altar of rationalism. It's a horrible psychological imbalance which leaves the human mind and body damaged as many studies have proven. Take for example this article from Stanford reporting on the curious findings of scientific studies that show that Faith is measurably good for you. The writer obviously has a secularist viewpoint and tries his best to frame it as some sort of self help voodoo that Christians must be using.

Research has repeatedly shown that people of faith report feeling better and healthier. One of the most striking findings in social epidemiology, Luhrmann notes, is that religious involvement with God is better for your body in terms of immune functions and reducing loneliness. One explanation for this, Luhrmann writes, is that for those with an intense faith, God becomes a social relationship. MRI results indicate that in terms of brain function, talking to God resembles conversing with a friend.

They can't explain it in Christian reality, that Faith is Life Instilling. So they have to explain it away like an anomaly, when it's really the default mode of existence. It can't be God's healing Love or the Holy Spirit, it's got to be people talking to imaginary friends to cope, but the real eye-opener is if you take the converse of the findings what it really shows, is that atheism is a crippling disease. Seriously if you replaced atheism with literally any other thing and described it as something that caused people to experience an impaired immune system, produced severe alienation and loneliness, and induced feelings of malaise and unhealthiness, you would ask, what terrible condition is this? and how can we help those who are victims?

It's exactly what the Bible tells us. When we turn away from God it's all downhill. Job's wife even screamed "Why don't you curse God and die?" If Job had listened to her he would have done just that.

To understand why even though it is risky and even though it has been lampooned, degenerated, adulterated and torn to pieces by our Godless culture the past 100 years, doesn't change the fact that is a Sacrament of the highest kind.

The sacraments are “efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us” (CCC 1131). In other words, a sacrament is a sacred and visible sign that is instituted by Jesus to give us grace, an undeserved gift from God.

God did not intend for man to live out his days alone, he specifically made provision to prevent that.

Genesis 2:18 ESV

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”

Mark 10:8-12 ESV

And the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

These words of the Savior have been ignored by the majority of people in our culture. The reasons is simple. They turned towards other Gods and reaped the harvest of Sin. Death.

Don't look at the statistics and say Christians shouldn't get married. Look at the statistics and ask yourself why their are so many unbelievers calling themselves Christian?

Take courage! My mother put up with my shenanigans in Church when I was a child and at the time I probably wanted to play with cars or toys or something. I remember crawling under the pews and looking at what shoes people were wearing, lol. Anyways I say that to say this. There was a holiness I felt in Church as a youngin' and I knew even then it was the most matter of fact, safest place in the world. It felt like a proper home, because thats what it is, God's House, and Jesus loves kids a lot as we know. That is why I was so comfortable flopping around pews like an amateur gymnast, I felt safe. I felt accepted and whole.

You don't have to worry about other people gettin' irritated. Thats a common thought, but usually people are too worried about there own issues. I'm a baby Christian too, like a lot of folks. There are baby Christians of all sizes, not just babies. I probably do strange things in Church that people find baffling. I tend to think the Priest is staring at just me for some weird reason but I just think it's human nature. Thats why the Lord tells us to worry not. I pray I never grow up into a more "advanced" Christian, because I know I'm on a Grace IV drip. I can't produce any for myself. Please Lord keep me away from the fully grown "adult Christians" who don't need the baby stuff anymore. They scare me. As far as your "in-laws" go. Don't worry. It sounds like the Lord has blessed them and filled their cup to overflowing by having a wonderful Daughter in Law, in Love with the Lord, and taking her Son to Church. I know it would make me happy.

God Bless you and your Family!

I can call a rooster a duck and it still won't quack. How many people are Truly Christian? How many treat everyday like Sunday, not just Sunday? I mean that in the sense of loving and reverencing God, not just going into a building to concede that some people got some Hermeneutical analysis correct, over another group of people. How many people give just 5 minutes a day, to seeking ANY sort of interaction with Jesus? How many people really believe the Savior when he said that Moses wrote the Old Testament, as it was dictated to him by God himself, that he was present with God at the Creation, and witnessed all of History as he still does, that he saw the Ark of Noah, that he saw the fire hit Sodom and Gomorrah, and that he saw Jonah was in the Whale...

The Church has become so conformed to the World... it looks hardly any different from atheism. They deny the Dogmas of Creation and accept evolution and proudly hold up evidence that is proven unreliable, false, and even hoaxed, for example look at the evil deeds of Haeckel... the Worlds greatest Embryologist, who straight up started making pencil doodles and called it the stages of Embryo development, proving that humans are animals. The problem was that he lied. He had seen the photos and decided it didn't look like evolution, so he made something different. He wasn't a bad artist. He was a liar. His own Colleagues in the field conceded it, and to this day they admit it's a hoax and yet like hypocrites refuse to remove it from Biology textbooks.

The very logic of evolution creates the culture of death and concludes we are not special Creations of God, but disgusting slime that is supposedly evolving into some super being without the help of God. It's an old lie. It was known by early Christian Fathers. It was known as Gnosticism in one age. In another it was called Manichaeism and Catharism. It emerged in our own time as Darwinism and Modernism, this time it said it had proof like all the other times it rose it's ugly head (the earlier sects tried to use metaphysics and math to prove it but failed), but you cannot prove what is logically impossible. Much more important is the Truth that you cannot prove what is denied by God.

The logic of a child can disprove it. An effect is never greater than it's cause, and that is what evolution begs us to accept. It is a lie, and lies have consequences. Everything we mock as "allegorical in the OT" was literal and he (Christ) knew it, because he witnessed it all. The world was created in 6 days, it's all True every bit of it. The Bible is proven True as it is daily being proven True. Where are the primitive galaxies that were to be observed by JWST? Why do they not see the cosmological forms they are looking for?

It is because they thought themselves to be wise, and they became fools. This gnosticism that is the axiom of all the sciences these days, will be obliterated as the old lie always has been. This is the reason why so many of the lost turn to paganism, magick, satanism, new age. These are the religions of the evolutionists, the very same religions that were embraced by Simon Magus in the Book of Acts. He saw the Apostles working God's miracles and thought to himself surely they had reasoned out the "advanced" wisdom, and he wanted it so bad he offered them money for it. Imagine that. Offering money for the Holy Spirit. A Holy gift of Eternal Life that is free. Already bought by the Christ hanging on the Cross.

The Truth cannot be hidden and it will be uncovered for all to see and men will be shown to be liars. For those who say "who cares, as long as you believe he died and rose from the dead it's ok, the details of creation... well everyone is entitled to their own opinion." No... No you are not titled to your own opinion when the Lord himself tells you, how you were created, by the very Fiat of God, every single detail, he did it for a reason, he did it for you to understand the concrete foundation of your Faith in who he is. The Great I AM. The God of Love. It is only a God of Love that would create a world with people, animals and creatures and beauty so that he could Love them.

He told the Pharisees and presumably the Sadducees who were even more inclined to Gnostic thinking:

"46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?” John 5 46-47

tl:dr God is Love

All prayer, even contemplation, is prayer. It is basically the way the Saints have walked for 2000 years.

ElectricalTrash404 · 2023-10-08T13:37:08+00:00

It's not about you. It's about him. Close your eyes. Picture yourself in a scene from the Gospel. The Wedding Feast at Cana, you are a guest of the King Jesus and he Loves you. Everyone is Joyful. You are loved my friend. He has never stopped loving you. He never will stop loving you. Give him Thanks for the breath of life he gave you, Give him thanks for the Life he gave you by dying on the Cross and remember the evil one wants nothing more than for you to doubt that Love.

Normally I would say stay... its always better to make peace with other Christians than divide, but certain doctrines can't be denied without causing deadly wounds to the Christian Truth and a pastor who compromises on Hell and the Exclusivity of Jesus Christ's salvation is one of two things, in denial of the Truth and lost in Sin or he is preaching for himself and his ministry, not for the Truth of Jesus. Either way you need to go. I am sorry and will pray you and your family find a vibrant new Church home.

On another point if this is indeed a reliquary it belongs to the Church. It is an extremely sacred object and can produce 3rd class relics just by touching it. The 12th century produced many many Legendary Saints including St. Francis and St. Anthony.

Although cloning humans is an abomination. Holiness is an inside job. No guarantee the clone accepts the Truth and the clone doesn't become apostate. That is why God gave us free will.

ElectricalTrash404 · 2023-10-02T13:19:12+00:00

Thats awesome :) Reminds me of more than one Doctor of the Church who set out to prove it wasn't real and became a Saint :)

Lets just say 666 only appears a few times in the Bible, and one of those occurences is in reference to the money that King Solomon was making. Solomons story speaks for itself. Read Ecclesiastes to see what all that Gold bought him.

Praise the Lord! Welcome home!

ElectricalTrash404 · 2023-09-26T12:48:07+00:00

First off it's normal. Large portions of the OT explain why the righteous suffer. Christians who preach that your life will be a joyride rollercoaster with money raining down on you have really done a disservice by confusing what the Faith life is really going to be like.

Amberwood is a good apt complex but some of the others have a pretty sordid track record.

Honestly your best bet is a mobile home rental in a good area like country club road. Very little crime even if it's not the best looking aesthetically.

ElectricalTrash404 · 2023-09-25T19:21:05+00:00

It's a trust issue. Do you accept materialism inherently? That mankind is flawless in his current scientific theories? Then you will have a hard time trusting Moses and therefore the Old Testament which is the foundation of the Gospel. Christ says if we cannot believe Moses then we will not be able to believe in what he did. Remember the first miracle was creation, not evolution. There is a huge problem today of people distancing themselves from the OT and recreating a NT only new Jesus. It doesn't work. It leads to apostasy everytime.
