In seriousness it does seem to partly just be a philosophy more that:

I mean, I think he is. I've seen and heard multiple interviews from former players taking about how he game plans things in the first half that bait opponents into committing mistakes later in the game.  Obviously it doesn't always work.  I wish I had an example off hand.

If the preceding games are any indication the Browns will react by being completely indifferent and will prepare by doing nothing much at all.

I should not have laughed at this as hard as I did.

and it’s against the rapidly deflating Browns.

The argument for the last decade or so has been the Patriots don’t win games, other teams screw up and give it to them.  Maybe it’s just that Belichick is actually just really good at crafting plays to make other teams screw up?  Some sort of mental trickery?  What I’m saying is, Belichick has mind powers and is…

That would make sense, and I’m sympathetic. It’s just unfortunate he was able to transform his own experience into religious law so effectively, because hoo boy, did that have repercussions.

I’m gonna need the blood of Christ in a box. Much easier to store that way.

Re-reading Paul’s letters, I’m pretty sure he was what we would classify today as asexual. I think he legitimately could not grasp the appeal of sex.

I would put most of it on Augustine, myself. One of the things you learn in philosophy is how not to psychologize a text; you want the words of the text to stand independent of the author’s experiences, and take it on its own merits. Context is important, but if you only read Locke as some kind of historical text…

Listen, if we all did that, I would definitely make it a rule that the Blood of Christ should come in a full bottle, on the daily. And maybe also offered in white, because red wine gives me a headache.

Oh, it was DEFINITELY Paul. Dude had some real issues while in jail and unfortunately he spewed them all over Acts and Corinthians, and also Asia.  

Yeah, the whole Grace vs Works debate. I’m a Methodist*, so I mean, religiously speaking, I believe you’re already “saved,” no action required on your part. However, isn’t the very point of Christianity to try to bring the Kingdom of God to Earth? It’s pretty damn hard to do that if you aren’t purposely being loving,…

Hey now, we Jews are not giving you the Song of Songs. You guys came up with “yay, celibacy!” (well, one of you did- Paul? Sounds like Paul), so you can have some appropriately restrained sex tape. We came up with “be fruitful and multiply!” and “sex on the Sabbath is a mitzvah!”, so we get to keep the sexy ointments…

You can’t listen to relativistic atheists. They are moving at almost the speed of light.

And the pastrami would ACTUALLY BE lean. You call this pastrami lean?

Yeah, I’ve talked about this repeatedly with my wife (because I keep bringing it up, and she probably wishes I’d stop). Both the Good Place and the Bad Place suck in the universe they’ve created. The Bad Place is full of demons who torture people forever, and the Good Place is fully of nominally good people who are…

That’s a good take. But it points to a corrupt system (as has much of the show), which would suggest taking down that system rather than contorting to fit it or running weird tests on it. Which again, is where I suspect things are going, but I feel like the characters, especially Eleanor, should’ve reached that…

Yeah, and part of that seems to be the structure mimicking the uncertainty/difficulty of making good moral choices but it also makes it hard at times to invest in the choices the characters do make when there’s a new geegaw they have to be interested in every other episode.

It will probably get upended at some point. They seem to do that frequently.
