In the press conference following his plea hearing, Michael vick has stated his legal woes over the dogfighting charges have led him to Jesus.
Hmmm, are people really that naive? You would think his attorneys would be more a little more subtle when trying to reform his image.
As far as Vick being allowed to play again, I am all for it, on one condition - the first time he loses a game he will be doused with water and electrocuted.

Re: Many Professions Genuine Also
i'm sure paris hilton really found god, too.
Paris said she now reads her Bible regularly.
Awwwww - When I read that, tears came to my eyes, and my opinion of her suddenly changed.

Come on, now. That's not all they have to do and people don't automatically assume that. That's just disingenuous, but I guess its a matter of opinion.
Not disingenuous at all IMO. Most people are fickle and shallow. If Vick had said his situation had led him to Allah, Buddha, or worse yet, Atheism, he would immediately be vilified even more than he now is. In fact, his sentence would probably be doubled for showing no remorse!
I have no doubt that just by saying he found Jesus, many will jump off the anti-Vick bandwagon and cut him slack. Many will praise him. You underestimate the extremely simplistic and sheep-like mind set of the average citizen. Most people hear what they want to and disregard the rest.
For the most part, this is what keeps politicians in office from one term to the next. The political strategist and spin doctors know the average American voter is extremely uninformed, ignorant, and shallow and will vote for someone simply because they were told by their minister that is what they should do. This is the only reason Bush got reelected btw.
Edited by Grizz, : No reason given.
