The Kalam Argument and Myyyyyyy Forty Niner's

Kriss, don't watch the game today...OK, baby.
Believe it or not...I'm totally human. I have the whole range of human emotions (thanks Prozac), thoughts and feelings. I know I'm a martial arts baddass-n-stuff, but really...there are times when I get scared...there are times when I'm irrational (sorry to burst your bubble). In fact, months ago I frackin' prayed (1). Today, Sunday, err, I dunno the date, I will once again show my irrational-ness and subscribe to superstition-y-ness, in the form of the very childish and illogical-jinx. You see, kind gentle and very good looking readers, try as I may to NOT watch sports and NOT be a fan (which comes from the word fanatic), just like an alcoholic in a liquor store...I'm drinking the cool aid called this seasons freekin Fory Niner's.


For pretty much the last decade, I have watched every pathetic game of every season and with love in my heart for my guys...The Phoney Niner's (I routed for frackin' Cody Picket. Cody Picket. Sheez).  They are Phoney no more. In fact, they are hella good. 13-3 is above and beyond what it takes to win the pathetic NFC West and today they are a gonna play the NY Giants in the NFC Division Championships-winner goes to that Superbowl that sports fanatics always talk about. Here's the skeptic catch...



I have not watched a Niner's game all season and the one game I did watch involved the fourth member of the trinity and his team the Denver Broncos with, Timmy Tebow (he won on last second heroics. Thanks Jesus). Look, if you don't follow sports or ever played sports then I can't explain what a fan is or our irrational behavior. All I know is that I haven't watched a Niner's game all year, they had a great winning year, and I know in my heart that if I watch the game today...they will lose. Lemmie put it this way for all you brainiacs out there.

i. I have not watched a Niner game all season.
ii. They have had a great a winning season, therefore
iii. If I watch today, they will lose.

Does this look familiar to anyone. It should....

i. Everything has a beginning
ii. The universe has a beginning, therefore
iii God exists

Kinda makes me wonder...who is William Lane Craig's team.

Go Niner's.

* If you're not on Team Atheist of Team Believer...it is called the Kalam cosmological argument....stupid.

(1) So sue me. I was in a lot of pain and I prayed to God, or anyone that would listen, to relieve my suffering. Wanna know what happened...it got worse. Dam, that nonexistent Gawd sure does work in mysterious ways. Go Niner's.

  1. Holding an irrational belief is OK so long as you are willing to admit it's irrational. My SO is a firefighter/EMT; he's a rational person and very intelligent (you want those traits in an EMT). But if anyone ever says "the Q word" (quiet) in the fire station he gets a little uncomfortable. He *knows* the shift (so to speak) will hit the fan with many calls for service.

  2. That's funny Anneliese. At the #atheistcafe, if we want to drum up business when it's slow, we look at each other and say "I'm going out for a cigarette break." And wouldn't ya know it, customers come and you don't get a cigarette break. hope you and all the other rocket scientists are doing well in that beautiful dessert of yours. Stay warm and stay awesome buddy.
