Was anyone surprised by the fact that in his press conference yesterday Vick found Jesus?

Question

Seems to happen everytime someone gets caught.

Answer 1

funny how that happens eh?

Answer 2

The problem is that just because Vicks "found Jesus" with cameras on doesn't mean he will stay with Jesus when the cameras go away.
BTW I've heard a few things trying to make this racial.
I'm not a sports fan, and I had no idea who he was let alone what color he is, and I still found his behavior disgusting and worthy of jail.
When I found out he was a sports star I told my husband that the guy just blew his career. My husband said no, he would bet that Vicks would be back because hes such a good player. Well, they didn't ban him, so I suppose my husband was right. He usually is, but this is one time I really wish I were right instead.

Answer 3

I used to work in juvenile probation and kids thrown into detention did the same thing and then reverted to their old ways upon release. Case in point: Vick supposedly accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior but then only accepts limited responsibility for his actions in the federal case against him. He only plead out because the feds are well known to only charge someone when they are virtually guaranteed a win due to the amount of evidence they have. Only months ago, Vick claimed he was going to trial to clear his name. He is a pathological liar that the NFL should ban for life and Judge Hudson should throw the book at. Vick is a con artist, pure and simple.

Answer 4

If I lost everything (millions and millions of dollars), I'd be looking for Jesus too.

Seriously, it's obvious that Vick realizes he can't get out of this situation and is doing damage control. He won't be sentenced until Dec 10. So from now until then he will be trying to convince the judge that he is a good person who made a terrible mistake. So I can't take anything he says or does wholeheartedly because I know he is fighting to get his way of life back.

I'm afraid that the only way we will know if he is truly sincere is when he is out of jail and has no one to answer to but himself (and God).

Answer 5

A lot of people claim to find Christ when they are in trouble. Some do, while others use religion or faith to gain sympathy for their situation. Time is the best indicator whether Michael Vick has truly changed his ways. Until then the jury is still out on him.

Answer 6

I'll be surprised if Vick doesn't lose Jesus again, after his sentencing.

Answer 7

Heh....talk radio had a good one-liner about it: Vick may have given his life to God, but the state prison gets his *** first.

Answer 8

This is a phenomena that happens when someone is convicted. It is not uncommon at all. They normally return back to there old self shortly after gaining there freedom.

Answer 9

really?...i didnt know jesus was lost!.....vick is a vicious jerk with no moral values whatsoever.....ya think if he hadnt gotten caught that he wouldnt still be torturing those animals? or that he would have "found jesus"?...highly unlikely

Answer 10

I was surprised by that coming from him but I think he's believable. Most people turn to God when they feel like they have no one else and in his case, no one else can help him.
He's probably realized that. You never know until you're in their situation

Answer 11

I think he is SORRY he got caught, SORRY America is mad at him, SORRY he has a crimanal issue to deal with.

Jesus? I think his agent or manager wrote a statement for him. Eventually he will have to answer to God himself.
