Ballintology
First let me go into some history.
It was decided that there was something lacking in humanity by a small, yet spread out group of individuals. I said we should call the new way of life Ballintology. It stuck. Laughs then created the Ballintology logo, which you'll find in my avatar. It was then that I scripted the initial book of Ballintology. It is the following:
Ballintology exists due to a void left in human thought. Up until now there have been three venues a person could pursue. Those three are salvation, damnation, or resignation. In other words; you could choose a religion and be saved, choose the wrong or no religion and be damned, or just resign and believe in nothing but what you can observe.
This left a void. A void which Ballintology hopes to fill. Ballintology is not about salvation. You cannot be saved. It is not about damnation. You cannot be damned. Nor is Ballintology about relinquishing hope and believing in nothing but that which is observed.
Ballintology fills the void left by humans in part by standing upon a principle held by both the spiritual and nonspiritual alike. That is energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
The alpha and the omega. The infinite power. This is the one thing, the one entity, the one energy we accept as fact. As a ballintologist you can call this energy any word you wish. You may call it God. You may call it Allah. You may call it Life. It doesn't matter.
All that matters is that it is, was, and always will be. Upon this foundation Ballintologists observe that which has been bestowed upon us by this energy. Our five senses. It is through these five senses which we experience life. Without them life would be worthless. It is these senses which give our lives meaning. If you're looking for the meaning of life; you have found it.
Therefore, Ballintology encourages humans to experience the full spectrum of emotions of which we are capable. Right and wrong are subjective, however that which happens is actual. You were allowed to experience it due to the senses and faculties granted to you by the eternal energy.
We do not acknowledge this energy as personable or negligible. It just is. That is all that matters.
There is no joy without pain. There is no love without hate. There is no graciousness without greed.
Ballintology encourages humans to explore the Entire spectrum. The spectrum is the reason for our existence. If you never hate then you miss out on the experience. If you never forgive, then you are missing out. And if you never loved; then you have missed everything.
With all this said Ballintology does in fact believe in three Maxims. If you accept these Maxims then you may feel free to call yourself a ballintologist.
They are as follows:
1. Life exists as to allow life. Nothing you do can violate this.
2. The spectrum of experience should be learned from for the betterment of humankind
3. You are born a sin. You are born a miracle. You are not in and of yourself important. What matters is how you navigate your experiences; and how you implement the lessons learned there of.
Above all else; learn from life. Time is the only thing which is irreplaceable. Do not waste your time, which is irreplaceable, by worrying about that which does not matter. Instead spend precious time by experiencing what there is to experience. Use all of your senses. Joy. Pain. Sex. Love. Hate. Failure. Success. Learn.

To be clear Ballintology is not a religion. It is a way of life. You can be a Ballintologist and a Christian if you so choose. Enjoy the experience!
Carguy was very astute and knew that something like this had to have validity. Some entity which exists in thought and/or faith.
I introduce you to Ballzu. He was Emporer of the Ballsian Galactic Federation 50,000,000 years ago which our beliefs are derived from.
I don't have an artist's rendering of him which is major fail on my part; however I know Laughs and Carguy still hold images of his appearance.
Ballintology started off small...and then spread. Soon our members were double digits and transatlantic!
Peace be Ballzu.
BP has been a bust this season and should be playing 4th line minutes. Eberle and Nuge have always had good chemistry. Its good to see LD on McDavids wing as his game is better suited to McDavids as opposed to Eberle. I'd like to see Maroon on that top line and Lucic with RNH. That might be their optimal line up.
