– or at least that’s what I would have done when I heard this.
Michael Vick, speaking to the media in Richmond, says he has found Jesus and turned his life over to God.
What was it Peter Newman used to say? “That’s not news, but that too is reality.” When they come for you, find Jesus. Quick! Pass the eggplant!
I’m going to go insane if I read much more of this!
Please, God, send me to Hell. I can’t face an eternity of Vick, Hilton, Colson, assorted right-to-lifers, Falwell, Tammy Fae and the Bushes.
[Wait a minute. Maybe that is Hell. Could God be having a private chuckle here?]
Jesus (and all of the potential for good he represented) has become a slogan. Salvation-on-demand…it’s the American way.
If the holy duo exist in the form that the faithful believe that they do, and are as intelligent, and as omnipotent, as the faithful would like us to believe, people like Michael Vic, and every politician that has invoked their name, is going to get a rude awakening when they pass through the veil - because I seriously doubt that the divine has much of a sense of humour where that shite is concerned.
Dr. Dawg: “Wait a minute. Maybe that is Hell. Could God be having a private chuckle here?”
I think you have hit the spot, there, Dr. D. I suspect that Vick’s particular “heaven” will be populated by the many, well-treated dogs his sport has sent to “dog heaven” - all waiting patiently for their turn at his privates.
I suspect that Vick’s recognition of Jesus and, coincidentally, his own mistakes, is as short-lived as his (potential) return to the NFL. Or his “I have been REDEEMED” made-for-TV movie hits the airwaves.
To say that all jailhouse conversions are BS would equally BS, but… don’t you have to GO TO JAIL first?
Call me a cynic.
“Quick! Pass the eggplant! “
Er…okay:

ROTFLMAO!! The devil made you do that, my son. Here, take a seat.
(prediction) Next to find Jesus: Senator Larry Craig?
In a statement earlier today Jesus said, ” I’ve had no dealings with Mr. Vick and I wish he would stop using my name.”
