Gee... I bet you claim to be a christian too ( non-capital intentional.)

While my post was meant as a humorous commentary on a bad character who is wrongly lionized by the (heathen) media, Black America and sports fans unaware of the incident, I will respond to your unrelated and unwarranted swipe at my religious faith.

What does being a Christian (or christian, as you prefer) have to do with being logically convinced of Lewis' guilt on being an accomplice after the fact to a double homicide based upon evidence presented in a court of law and contemoraneous news accounts?

What does being a Christian (or christian, as you prefer) have to do with being unhappy that Ray-Ray - an alleged Christian (or christian, as you prefer) - has been publicly unrepentant or even communicative about whatever his involvement was in the vicious stabbing deaths of 2 human beings?

As a Christian (or christian, as you prefer), I can't forgive him as God commands if Ray Lewis doesn't ask for forgiveness.

btw, where is your Christian charity in your crude, rude and simplistic (and wrong) doctrinal faith analysis of my disdain for the media and for a likely (but not proven in a court of law) capital criminal and the racist jury that decided the case?

Did I say I hate Ray Lewis? Did I wish him dead? No.

I wrote that his hype as an icon makes me sick to my stomach, that the commercial with his mom & Tom Brady was funny and joked that I enjoyed seeing him lose his fictional NFL Madden videogame matchup with an actor in another commercial.

Gee, I'm gonna burn in hell for that.

Get a life...and a better grip on what being a Christian really means!

I just checked johnd201's FReeper homepage...

What a surprise.

That's why I personally won't miss him.

He was (perhaps peripherally) involved in a murder. He pled to obstruction of justice in trying to lie to the police about that murder. That ought not be a hero in anybody's book.

Perhaps he's been repentant behind closed doors. We don't know. So we have to go with what we're given, which is that he's a scumbag that got a deal to walk away from an accessory to murder wrap and never had to actually take responsibility for his actions.

I know a lot of people are willing to cut prominent Christians endless slack if they mouth the right words about God. To my ear, his refusal to take responsibility just makes the words seem more hollow.
