Same for Kurt Warner. Let’s compare Super Bowl seasons.

2000 Kurt Warner= 41 TD and 13 Int, 4,353 passing yards.
2014 Russel Wilson= 20 TD and 7 Int, 3,400 passing yards.

2014, Seattle was the number 1 rushing team in the NFL.
2014, Seattle had the number 1 ranked defense in the NFL.

How many quarterbacks in 2014 would have won the Super Bowl with that loaded Seattle team?

Kurt Warner carried his team on his back to a Super Bowl win.
Seattle carried Wilson to a Super Bowl win.

Now compare HOF player Lynn Swan’s stats to every good wide receiver that is not in the HOF.

Time to let everybody in.

Game managers should not be in the HOF.

Wilson was not the MVP of the Super Bowl he won b/c the defense and running game carried Seattle that entire season like they did in that game. Wilson, by himself, cost Seattle a Super Bowl, that most starters that year would have won.

How about Matt Ryan, HOF worthy??? I don’t think so either.

Total passing yards:

Ryan= 62,792
Wilson= 41,800

Passing Touchdowns:

Ryan= 381
Wilson= 320

It is a favorite quote spouted by uneducated atheist who attack all religions but upon further investigation… it is easily dismissed and nothing but false propaganda.

Religion has caused very few wars in human history.

Many people stated religion and I proved that is not true despite the facts triggering you.

Do you want quotes from the Quran that commands Islamic followers to kill non believers and to wage wars etc.

Islam is responsible for 66 of the 123 religious wars in human history.

How is this an issue. Just facts.

An interesting source of truth on the matter is Philip and Axelrod’s three-volume Encyclopedia of Wars, which chronicles some 1,763 wars that have been waged over the course of human history.

However, when one subtracts out those waged in the name of Islam (66), the percentage is cut by more than half to 3.23%.

You would be wrong. Only 6.9% of wars were due to religion and half of those were due to Islam.

6.98% of wars are due to religion. Very few wars are because of religion and most of these are Islam.

3% of of wars in human history have been b/c of a religion that is non Islam. When you break it down to just Christianity it is much smaller.

re: Why do people accept behavior during bachelor/ette parties that they don't otherwise?

True story.

Guy was on his own bachelor party in Vegas at a strip club. Goes on stage with all the dancers and has unprotected sex with a stripper on stage in front of everyone. One of our buddies took his picture in the act. Fast forward ten years later. Guy is happily married with a family. Friends throw him a surprise birthday party. On a big projection screen a puzzle piece will pop up every 30 seconds or so. People are wondering what the picture is. After awhile it was clear that it was the picture of him having sex. The picture is now showing the stripper bent over and starts to show who is behind her. Home boy is sweating bullets b/c it would mean an instant divorce. Two more puzzle pieces to show the guy and act. Then the screen goes blank and says happy birthday!
