Hello everyone! My name is Alexia and I am currently an agnostic wanting to learn more about the world around me, and the universe. I am 17 years old, and I love football (soccer). I was born into a Ukrainian-Catholic family (similar to Greek Catholic) and ever since I was younger I always questioned religion. There are many gaps that are yet to be filled, especially in the bible. Although I see through many religious claims and ideologies, there are a few concepts that I am still not fully convinced are just "made up". I would love to learn some of your ideas/thoughts/opinions on some of the topics I have not fully come to terms with.
If anyone has any other questions for me, just ask ;-)
All the best,
Alexia

Welcome to our little band of heathens, FG-'99.
Always nice to see someone who calls football football.

People have shitty taste in sports and have to compensate for it.

I used to be pretty good at soccer. Don't watch it though. I don't hate soccer, just don't watch it. Soccer and hockey are probably the only two sports I can enjoy watching, but because I don't watch it enough and don't follow it, I don't care.

Anyway. Welcome to the forum, fellow Ukrainian-blooded friend.

This is the US and all things football happen with pads on.  And touchdowns--not goals.  Goals are something football teams have--their goal is to win the game.  If you really want to see football at it's best (worst) try going to Alabama in the fall.

Actually, this is the internet. And just because created a game called American football that The rest of the world isn't interested in playing with you, doesn't mean you can make football stop being football. :)
