Michael Vick finds Jesus.
As everyone knows by now Michael Vick has pleaded guilty to charges
relating to dog fighting. He has personally accepted responsibility and
says that he is prepared to pay the consequences.
That is what he said in his apology and you can read it here.
I actually believed him until he brought up Jesus and God.
Said Vick "I’m upset with myself, and, you know, through this situation
I found Jesus and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to
God. And I think that’s the right thing to do as of right now."
How convenient! And why is it only "the right thing to do as of right
now?" Why was it not the right thing to do before?
Why is it that every time an athlete or prominent politician gets into
trouble they all of a sudden find Jesus? I mean, how can that be? Is it
that easy to just go out and find Jesus?
First of all, if I wanted to "find Jesus" where the hell would I look? I
wouldn't even know where to start. The world seems to me to be quite a
big place so just exactly where would I begin my search? I would
probably go to Jerusalem. He used to hang out there so maybe he is there
now. Or maybe the Vatican. They seem to always know where he is at.
Yeah, I guess I would go there and ask the Pope if he knew where he was hanging out
at.
Also, by definition if you are going to "find" something then it must
first be lost. Michael Vick said that he "found Jesus" which implies
that Jesus was lost.
Where was he lost at? Was he lost in the woods or was he lost on I-15 in
California? I have gotten lost on I-15 before. I was in an
unfamiliar place and missed my exit. Next thing I knew I was lost. But
hey, that is me. I am not too smart and I am certainly not a religious
icon. I would expect more from someone like Jesus.
In fact, I would think it to be impossible for him to get lost. If he is
really the savior for all mankind and the son of God then I would think
he could never get lost.
No! I think the ones who are lost are the ones who go for the bullshit
about finding Jesus. Is it not very convenient to have Jesus there when
ever you need him, but only use him when you REALLY need him? How long
is society going to accept this from people who never, ever, mentioned his
name before?
How long is society going to forgive its criminals just because they
claim to have found Jesus?
All I know is I can't seem to find him. I can't get a phone call, a post
card or even an email. What, am I difficult to find? Hardly! My address
is in the phone book along with my phone number. My email address in on
this website. So how is it that Jesus can't find me? What, is he not
looking?
To all of my readers I will tell you what. If you can find Jesus, tell
him to call me. I promise to write an article on how I found him, how
my life will be transformed and how I will become a better person.
Until then don't believe that anyone has found Jesus. And if someone
tells you that they did, ask them where the hell they found him at and
how the hell did he get lost.
