Torres vs. dog (dog wins!)

This attempt to make an advert where Torres scores a goal to a dog is revealing:

Perhaps football should've been a dog's game after all...

Albacete vs Hitchens

This is an excerpt of a debate between these two opposites:

Interestingly, the catholic opponent mentions half way through the excerpt an interesting argument which deserves consideration: talking about miracles, after Hitchens having said that a miracle wouldn't be enough for him to believe in a Christian God (it wouldn't be enough to prove the identity of the miracle-worker), and after agreeing with that affirmation (Jesus points to the imcompleteness of miracles by themselves in John's gospel), Albacete says the following:

"There is one fact upon which he [Jesus] risks everything, in which he was willing to risk the authenticity of who he was... 'the world will believe only to the degree that you love one another; if you break this law, the world is right in not believing any of my claims'"

Although I myself don't believe that Jesus really claimed anything like this about his own messiahship, this affirmation by Albacete makes things (I think) very easy for any opponent in a debate. I mean: if this affirmation is true, do the love between Christians shine as much as would be expected if the Christian message was true? I'll leave the question open...

Obama on faith

Here are some interesting thoughts on faith, extremism and literalism by the President-Elect Barack Obama (speech given earlier this year):

Very interesting to hear those words from the US president...
