I missed the poll, and I was ready to be outraged at Western Michigan too low, but I think you all put them too high, lol.
I don't know Islam enough to speak about it when it comes to this type of distinction. LDS however, worship Jesus, and God the Father. The modern prophets are there only to clarify doctrine, perform ordinances, and help direct the members toward Jesus. They don't supercede Jesus.
This whole thing really just depends on the definition you come up with. You could write a definition that Catholicism is the only Christian religion, because it is the direct decendant of the church Christ built. All other worshipers are offshoots. In practice, that isn't a great definition, because Catholicism isn't close to a majority of people that worship Christ. So you need to expand to include those offshoot religions. You don't want to go too far though, otherwise you get people making their own Christian church, but doing whatever they want in the name of it.
So it is all pedantic talk. I think LDS should be included in Christianity, but I can understand why someone would argue against it, in the name of trying to keep to the core Christian religions.
I think we have gone way past the ideal weight for laptops. My favorite laptop weight wise was an HO from 2009. It was 6 pounds. That thing was great. You could sit it in your lap, and it would stay there. I have a MacBook at half that weight, and it slips off my lap constantly. Part of that is the material, but part of it is that it is so light.
I really wish we could start focusing on ideal dimensions, rather than focusing on extremes just for the headlines.
Hard disagree with you on all counts. The playoff should not be limited to the top 12 teams with the best odds at winning it. If that is what we wanted, the games wouldn't matter. We would just use the Las Vegas odds to find the best teams. If the games matter, we need to value winning, and punish losing. The hard part is, although James Madison objectively has done more winning this year than every team other than Indiana, Texas Tech, Ohio State, and Georgia. The conflict comes from the fact that winning with James Madison's schedule is objectively easier than those other 4 schools. So how do we tell which team is better? Our current system allows us to see. Put James Madison up against Oregon, and let's see. That is what I'm excited to see.
My biggest frustration is the talking heads with this whole thing. They keep talking about how we are keeping deserving teams out, and we need to rethink why we are letting bad G5 teams in. I'm sorry, but you are wrong here.
The G5 has fewer resources, but they work just as hard as the big programs do. In order to win their spot, they have to win their conference. These are not loser teams that get put in out of pity. They had a tougher road, one with essentially no margin for error. Let them have a their swing at the blue bloods. So what if it is a blow out? Give them their chance, let their fanbase get excited and hopeful for once.. I would rather see that 100 times out of 100 over watching Alabama and Georgia play their 20th "VeRy ImPoRtAnT" game of the last decade.
This is so lame. The way coaches get paid to leave is dumb.
Yeah a win baby!!
This week was really fun. Lots of matchups is a great way to end the last week.
I won't be on during the holidays, so happy Thanksgiving, and rivalry weekend to you all!!
