Sports in general are riddled with cliches. Each sport has its own, but some have more than others.

With basketball, one of the most common cliches is "basketball is a game of matchups." And when a team is starting from scratch or trying to make a name for itself, this cliche becomes much more evident because, quite simply, rebuilding teams are often overmatched.

Extremist atheist groups does not justify beliefs

Published Jan 20, 2010

European history features a long line of atheistic writers. From Denis Diderot to Richard Dawkins, Thomas Hobbes to Christopher Hitchens, atheism has remained a belief system that piques the interest of millions of Europeans.
