Russell "Golden Calf of Bristol" Wilson

[Moorgan]

I pray for guidance on every major decision.

And as much as I believe that God does indeed provide guidance, the majority of the time when I see Christians saying God told them to do something, what they really mean is one of two things:

"Don't hold me accountable for my choices. Blame God."

or...

"You can't question any part of my decision because it's what God told me to do."

One of the more frequent uses I've seen is in breakups, i.e. "God told me to break up with you and date this other girl". Yeah...Sure he did.

I have zero respect for Christians who try to avoid responsibility or make their decisions unassailable by attributing them to God.

"I prayed about it." Great.

"God told me to do it." Yeah, right.

To sum up, Christians think there poo don't stink, RW is yet another one that thinks his faith has some bearing on the outcome of a game . If I were religious that would seem more resentful. His arrogance is dis likable,

Some Christians know their sh!t stinks and is proud of it.

I don't really care about the guys personal life.

But in regards to football, he seems to be buying into his own hype, and that's all well and good when things are going well. But if things aren't going well, people are going to turn on him in a hurry, especially his fans, and that will only be amplified if he gets that huge contract he wants. He better be prepared for that.

I've been a Christian for over 40 years and the majority of my close friends are longtime Christians as well.

I'm not a fan of stuff like this, and I sincerely doubt any of my friends would endorse it either.

exactly. The point is that it sounds arrogant. His arrogance is what is at the center of his unikeableness.

at least T3bow was legit and not a fuging phony

The Golden Calf of Bristol was a phony QB.

[PantherWake]

I feel like he is just using God to portray a narrative about him

[osd22]

Who is Ciara? Never heared of her.

Russell will ride this to a sponsorship deal with KY Jelly.

 

RW ~ "When I fap, I only use water soluble KY Jelly.  When I am trying to portray an image to the media, i can't be bothered by hand soap burning my piss hole.  KY allows me to fap and still sell my goodie-two-shoes persona to the world without having to worry about a chaffed shaft.  Thank you, KY.  KY, all the glide, nothing to hide."

I have no idea if Russell Wilson's faith is real or phony.

I do know that in 40 years as a Christian, God has never once told me to date a certain girl or to hold out for a higher salary.

Fair point.... But in all of your 40 years of being A Christian... how many years have been a starting QB for a superbowl winning franchise?  Faith may be the same, but the context is different.

I think that in the same way that you have no idea if his faith is real or phony... you can also say that you have no idea what it means to have to be a 20 something year old multi-million dollar superbowl winning QB, whose trying to live out his faith in light of public scrutiny. Granted, I would have never told this story... it seems a bit premature. But he's young, and he'll learn.

And I don't think we could call what Russell's doing "holding out." They're negotiating. He's proven his worth in a very short amount of time. There's no reason for him to think he doesn't deserve the same type of money Cam Newton gets. And I hope he gets it....

Just posted this on reddit just to see how fast it gets taken down.  You can't talk bad about the goldenboy there.

Did God also tell him to divorce his first wife?
