New Record for finding Jesus?

Michael Vick takes 'full full responsibility for his actions' and adds, "Through this situation I've found Jesus,".

I thought the accepted procedure for convicted felons was that you went to prison first, then you found Jesus in jail.

He's a high achiever.

I wish he would have said "Dog is my co-pilot". That would have been funny.

[Complexity]

What a contemptible pile. Playing the jeebus card just makes it worse.

[dudalb]

I guess Vick is covering all the bases: Playing both the Jesus and the Race Cards.

[timhau]

So... where was Jesus?

[boloboffin]

Jesus was the pit bull that got out of its cage before Vick could electrocute it.

[Bethany]

It makes you wonder why this is such an acceptable way of showing remorse. In public perception it seems like there is this unbreakable link between God and moral behavior--you just can't be moral without God, and if you do something immoral, you have to blabber on about God in order to show that you've had a change of heart. People don't change without God, apparently.

[HarryKeogh]

Now if Michael Vick stole the line I saw on a t-shirt the other day and said "I found Jesus. He was under the bed the whole time!" I would have laughed and said "he's too funny to be in prison. Suit him up for the game and let's forgive him."

True. And the funny thing is that apparently this god entity will forgive anything, all you have to do is ask. If you're an atheist who help the nice old lady next door in her daily chores, that counts for nothing, but if the thug who broke into her place to kill her and rape her cat finds Jesus and repents, he goes to heaven.

That's exactly what the bible/koran/whatever-holy-book thumpers want everybody to believe ... makes you wonder what's wrong with all those people who profess no religion but nevertheless don't indulge in unlawful/immoral conducts ;)

[Sinisterdan]

Religion, particularly in the face of adversity, gives you a moral boost that you have not earned and from which you will not benefit.

If you'll recall, Ted Haggard found Jeebus even more after he got caught doing meth with a male prostitute.

[Bikewer]

I wonder....If you were to sneak into the office of a PR firm, and dig around through the drawers, would you find a little book of "Ten Things To Tell Your Client To Do When Caught"....Where would "finding the Lord" fall on the list?

[Sinisterdan]

Wouldn't surprise me a bit -- it sounds awfully good as the first step on the road to reform.

[MWare]

So... where was Jesus?

This week?

Probably #2, just after the big #1 smash hit "No, I didn't!" (best practiced alongside this inspirational video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y05EmK66Gsk&mode=related&search=)).

Did you also notice that he got a hair cut?

[E.J.Armstrong]

As Jesus keeps gets lost so easily could someone not lend him a GPS?

[Number Six]

Vick found Jesus. He found Jesus wide open in the corner of the endzone...and then overthrew him by ten feet.

How do I nominate someone for the Pith award, this post most certainly deserves it.

No, no, Jesus lives at the county jail. My brother used to be an ADA and he said that's where everybody finds Him. :)

If he's escaped things could get ugly.
