It’s the guy’s actual voice. What’s the problem? Not many people can actually sing like that.

Being told all our lives that we are morally rootless and going to hell is why some of us make an occasional joke about the Imaginary Man in the Sky.

My father had polio as a child. He learned to walk again, but there were many falls. I know of at least 4-5 concussions; there were various lesser head injuries. What happened to my father in the end was terrible.

I don’t watch football anymore.
