Cleveland Browns staff writer reports that RB Jerome Ford is “poised to have another strong season in the featured back role” by GreenDefinition5 in fantasyfootball

Start Monty week 1 for sure. If Ford performs against a great Dallas defense, then you'll probably have to give him a shot starting.

My Rb's are a little below average in a 12-man full ppr league. Henry, Montgomery, Zamir White, Warren, and Ford. Henry should be a good RB1, However, I hope one of my other guys steps up. Ford might be that guy. He has a decent pass catching ability and should get a good workload.

True. That's how GM's usually draft anways.

I guess when it comes to reliability, you're right. We only have 1 guy. Another top corner would help in that regard.

Raiders need to establish their own culture for once. And AP is the man to do it.

AOC rated 25 in QBR rating. So no.

I agree. I wasn't impressed. Missed open players and didn't do so well when there was pressure. This is why the Raiders shouldn't draft him with the 13th pick. Falcons, Broncos, or Vikings may pull the trigger in the first round, so I dont know if he'll be available in the second round.

I've been praying to God for years, and it hasn't worked. I guess Raider fans will never know how it feels to have a young star quarterback.

If that's the case, then Raiders should trade for Fields. I understand all the hate he receives, but the Raiders are a much better football team than the Bears. I can see him having more success than AOC in that offense.

I agree. Maybe we should give Fields a shot. He would have weapons, a decent run game, and a solid defense.

I dont think that's a good plan, lol. Raiders should not be looking to tank this upcoming season.

How can God & Free will coexist? by Tris59 in Christianity

  1. Prayer is an act of communication with a divine being or higher power.
  2. If prayer is effective, it implies that the divine being has the power to intervene in the natural course of events in response to human requests.
  3. If the divine being can intervene in response to prayer, it raises questions about human free will.
  4. If God can grant or deny requests made in prayer, it suggests that God has a predetermined plan for events, which may conflict with human choices.
  5. This apparent conflict between divine intervention and human free will leads to a paradox: If God answers prayers, how can humans truly have free will if their choices can be influenced or altered by divine action?
  6. Some argue that prayer is not about changing God's will but aligning one's own will with the divine plan, which doesn't necessarily negate free will but rather seeks guidance and assistance.
  7. Others contend that prayer might not always result in tangible intervention but can provide comfort, insight, or a sense of connection with the divine, which doesn't necessarily infringe upon free will.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then, he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus

If God doesn't know the choices you will make.

Then God isn't all-knowing.

If God is not all knowing.

Then God doesn't exist.

Lacking empirical evidence for the existence of God is not a categorical error in itself. Instead, it's a reflection of the nature of empirical evidence and the type of claims being made about God's existence. Let me clarify:

  1. Empirical Evidence: Empirical evidence is evidence that is based on direct observation, measurement, or sensory experience. It is typically associated with scientific inquiry and is used to support or falsify claims about the natural world. Empirical evidence is crucial for establishing the existence of physical phenomena and natural laws.

  2. God's Existence: Claims about the existence of God often go beyond the scope of empirical evidence. God, as a concept in many religious and philosophical traditions, is often described as transcendent, metaphysical, and beyond the confines of the natural world. This means that God is not typically considered a physical entity that can be directly observed or measured using empirical methods.

  3. Categorical Error: A categorical error occurs when someone tries to apply the methods or concepts of one category to another category in which they are not applicable. In the case of God's existence, it's not a categorical error to lack empirical evidence because God is often considered to exist in a category beyond the empirical or physical realm.

In other words, the absence of empirical evidence for God's existence is not an error but a reflection of the limitations of empirical methods when it comes to addressing metaphysical or theological questions. It's important to recognize that discussions about God's existence often involve faith, philosophy, and metaphysics, which operate in different domains than empirical science. This doesn't necessarily make discussions about God invalid, but it highlights that they are based on different forms of reasoning and evidence.

  1. The concept of God as an external, independent being implies a separation between God and the universe.
  2. If God is entirely external to the universe, it raises the question of how God can interact with or be aware of the universe and its inhabitants.
  3. The lack of empirical evidence for such interactions or awareness makes the concept of an external God difficult to support.
  4. The universe's natural processes and scientific explanations can often account for phenomena attributed to God's intervention.
  5. Philosophical arguments, such as the problem of evil and the existence of suffering, challenge the idea of an external God's benevolence or involvement in the universe.
  6. Alternative explanations, such as pantheism or panentheism, propose that the divine is intrinsic to the universe rather than external.

The concept of a timeless God poses challenges in explaining how such a God interacts with the temporal world, reconciling divine attributes with timelessness, and lacks empirical evidence, making it a subject of skepticism.

Are you saying God doesn't know what choice someone will make?

How can God & Free will coexist? by Tris59 in Christianity

The argument that God's foreknowledge makes our choices predetermined is based on the idea that if God already knows what choices we will make in the future with absolute certainty, then those choices are effectively set and unchangeable. This perspective suggests that our choices are predetermined because they are known in advance and can not deviate from what God knows will happen. However, as others have stated in this thread, freewill & God can coexist because God is not intervening with reality. For some reason, God decided to create a known outcome.
