[QUOTE="Lexjacket, post: 104948, member: 341"] Gee whizz, I went to bed last night and woke up this morning to a raging controversy. I realize I contributed to pushing some peoples' hot buttons so just as bartoma did, let me put my response in context. I am a 'follower' of Jesus Christ. I consider it a relationship, not a religion. Do I congregate and worship with a group of like minded people in a church building on a regular basis? Yes. Do I read and study the Bible (which I believe is the Word of God, the Creator of all things)? Yes. As a believer of Christ and His Word, I/we are commanded by Jesus Christ Himself to tell others that He is the answer for our redemption, the liberator of our sinful ways, and is the Way, the Truth and the Life. That does not make me a better person than anybody, that does not mean I know what's best for anyone, I'm not better and I don't claim to know what's best for anyone. I do know the One who is better, I do know the One who knows everything that is best for us, and His name is Jesus. I am well aware these beliefs are radical, make people very uncomfortable, and a lot of folks don't like it. I am also sensitive the the fact that unless God is moving in a person's heart, whatever I tell them about my 'religion' is a futile act. I don't know what CMR said or what made him say it. I do understand there are many who wear the name of Christ are hypocrites. I have said and done hypocritical things for which I am ashamed, everyone does. But, Jesus is not a hypocrite, so I would tell you (and I'm sure CMR would also) to look at who Jesus is, to do what Jesus commanded, to use Jesus as a role model. We're talking about our football team, our players and coaches. We have players and coaches who are very public about what they believe. It's okay. We live (or used to) live in a free country. When I joined the Navy I took an oath to defend the United States and it's Constitution; with my life if necessary. When I went to Vietnam and had to dodge communist rockets and mortars in DaNang my oath really took on new meaning. That's why I will be outspoken about my beliefs. I earned the right, for myself and Mark Richt and even those who may be offended by my words. When I went to bed last night I was watching a mob burn down Ferguson, MO. They really needed to hear about Jesus and His teachings. I don't like UGA, I don't like a lot of their fan base (I consider them un-circumsized Phillistines :mad:) , I am happy when they lose. I would like nothing better than Georgia Tech to pull their pants down and humiliate them. But, I am not offended and in fact am encouraged if their coach or their players would talk about Jesus and His goodness. [/QUOTE]
