I'm sure I wasn't the only one happy to see the NY Giants upset the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl Sunday evening. Why is it that we are naturally filled with desire to see the underdog win, and the predicted favorite lose (unless the favorite happens to be our team)? Is it because so many of us identify with the underdog with the odds stacked against us in life? Is it born out of pure jealousy? Cultural influence?
Just a thought, didn't know if anyone had any ideas out there that might be able to explain this phenomenon. Which brings me to my next point... this blog is not limited to theological discussion. There are plenty of interesting things to talk about in this world besides theology, and I for one am in favor of creating an atmosphere for "Idea Summit" that is open to the discussion of all topics (excluding in-depth descriptions of personal hygiene issues/products). I have a feeling that just because I said that, Eric is going to have make some sort of comment on the subject.
By the way, I would like to give special thanks to Eric and Leila, and of course my dad for their quick replies to the first subject. I also would like to thank both parties for their inspiration in the creation of this blog. It was my dad's idea (Gustavo) in the first place, and Eric and Leila contributed the background picture (their back yard in Summit County, Colorado). The choice of the word "Summit" was a coincidence though... sorry guys, can't give you credit for that.

Just to let you know Hans; in other countries in the world, especially in Muslim countries, they are the exact opposite in their "rooting" system. They always root for the "over"dog...interesting...I will try to find a source for that...
