Interesting. I attended a Superbowl party at a Baptist church, where they show a football-related inspirational video during half-time. One of the two NFL players they featured was Michael Vick, telling about how he has been strengthened and so on through his relationship with God and Christ. I don’t know the man’s heart - maybe he has truly repented of his sins (what’s the Biblical take on dog fighting?). Let’s just say I remain skeptical.
I agree. I seriously doubt that doing time improved his character. There was also the little dust up at his birthday party. Supposedly he wasn’t there. Um right.
As for the Bible and dog fighting, God tells us to take care of what He has given us. I know that torturing and killing dogs is not on the same level as murder, but when anyone abuses a person or animal that is their helpless captive, I am enraged. How one treats those who are unable to fight back (and Vick made sure he was in control of these dogs), tells you all you need to know about that person’s heart.
