wow. We do not have the same definition. At all.
The person who believes in God, they believe it to be fact. Whether you like it or not, that is not willful deception, no matter how much you believe it to be. Could that person be wrong? Sure. Doesn’t make them a liar. Just means they are wrong.
You really can’t see this? Or is this some high level trolling I’ve fallen prey to tonight?
so, because they've successfully willfully deceived themselves, it's okay to willfully deceive others?
I have no issue with people of faith, by the way, and think we could use more of it as a nation.
I just think it takes a certain kind of person to stand in front of strangers and preach something as fact that may not be.
and that someone who grows up around that example would have no issue doing the same down the road, regardless of line of work.
and I also wouldn't be surprised to hear a perfectly reasonable explanation from the staff as to why a player the head coach called out by name as having fumbling issues and thus would not play for us was carrying the ball in the most critical juncture of last night's game.
I just can't think of what that explanation might be unless Ervin & Rahmir got hurt and we didn't know about it.
