I always thought the title “Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo” was ridiculously redundant. All gigolos are male.

"Today I am reminded of what Dr. M Scott Peck told me over 30 years ago: At 40, you feel like you can conquer the world and there’s a sense that nothing can stop you,” he wrote. “But at 60 you realize the very real fragility of life and [the] temporariness of it all. A humbling knowledge that there is indeed a time limit for all things and that God’s design though perfect, is precious far beyond its brevity.”

That's especially profound to me, as I share the exact birthday and year with Rob.

Rob Schneider, a “SNL” alumnus, starred in “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo” and “The Animal”
and in multiple Adam Sandler movies, announced on X that he had converted to Catholicism.

Don’t know who he is but this sounds interesting coming from a showbiz person.Hopefully he isn’t planning to be a Ted Kennedy/Nancy Pelosi type of Catholic.

RE: What was he before?........................

Hard to tell .... His father was Jewish and his mother was Catholic.

Schneider’s maternal grandmother was a Filipina who met and married his grandfather, a white American army private, while he was stationed in the Philippines.

I would surmise that he has both influences from his father’s side ( Judaism ) and his mother’s side ( Catholicism )

Sounds a lot like “Fred Garvin,Male Prostitute”. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

What he still is…lost.

I believe that Christians are to seek justice. Forgiveness is important so that Christians do not cross the line into revenge but is should not be a free pass for transgressors to escape punishment.

I am happy for Mr. Schneider to have found forgiveness for those in his circle who did him and others great harm as I am sure he feels better but let us not forget that these people still need punishment.

Don’t let your bitterness eat you up

He’s an idiot for believing Mia & Ronan Farrow over Bill Cosby.

[GMThrust]

Care to expand on that or will it simply be an anti-catholic/orthodox rant?

[bigdaddy45]

I could not disagree more. Christians are to seek God and love their fellow man. “Justice is mine sayeth the Lord”. It is his job. Not ours.

Luke 15:7
I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.

You think Cosby is innocent?? Hoooboy…..
