j/c

I always wear my rope chain with a simple, plain gold cross. The chain's not too long so the cross is almost always visible. I wear it mostly to show that it's ok to be of faith.
I don't preach.

Hopefully BQ does what he does with the purist of intentions.

Do the players still huddle after games for prayer?
Just curious. I can't remember the last time I saw that.

Good point,...good question. Do they still do it,...? or is there NO media coverage of it anymore, since it would tend to swing right,....

I am quite sure Brady could quietly be sitting on the bench with his thoughts and beliefs without the national display.

---

He was on the sidelines, on one knee, with his head bowed... and a quick sign of the cross... he wasn't out in the middle of the field offering up burnt offerings or performing animal sacrifice or trying to get the whole team to join him in singing Amazing Grace.. he was essentially doing exactly what you said he SHOULD be doing (quietly exercising his beliefs on the sidelines).. the only problem is, the camera happened to catch him doing it, which is beyond his control.

So, let me get this right...

If BQ was Muslim, it would be ok for him to lay out his mat, face Mecca and get on his hands and knees perform his (whatever they call they bowing motion) chanting whatever it is those people chant on the sideline?

---

Yes it would. It's called freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. It really sad how some people get so upset or offended because people want to pray, or give props to the big guy.

My wedding ring has a diamond cross in the middle of it. I get comments all the time, but I wear it to remind myself of my marriage, and Jesus. Just a reminder to behave myself, and be thankful for both.

if it helps his game. He could dance with strippers on the sidelines for all I care, if it helps him win games.

For some strange reason Eve, I have an overwhelming feeling that would be FAR MORE of a distraction than help.

But hey! Who knows?



And Navy...............YES! We have freedom of religion in this country. He can pray to whoever he wants to no matter the faith.

Or are you still under the impression that the Muslim faith is evil? There are extremists in everything. Look at the KKK and White Supremacists. Does that mean all Christians are evil too just because certain Christians abuse what Jesus and God truely believe?

Are you really so anti-religious that you feel so offended when others pray?

Well, the whole laying out the mat and bowing and chanting would obviously be a bit more distracting to others than simply taking a knee and saying what he has to say quietly... but in the grand scheme of things, yea, it would be ok.

And to answer whoever asked the other question about post game prayer.. yes, players from both teams still huddle up for prayer after the game.. coaches and others also participate. Kurt Warner actually cut off the woman in her post game interview the other day because they were starting to pray... I was cool with that too.

j/c If praying gives Brady confidence on the field then I'm all for it. I couldn't care less what he does on the sidelines if it helps his game. He could dance with strippers on the sidelines for all I care, if it helps him win games.

You would probably like that. Sorry had to do it.
