If you didn’t think his Super Bowl fumble was bad enough, Rashard Mendenhall this week made some “confusing” comments on twitter about the death of the Mass Murderer Osama bin Laden. This of course has many people up in arms and proves my point that nothing good can come of facebook or twitter.
After reviewing the comments, I have to say, Rashard did what makes America great, he expressed his opinion! While I didn’t agree with his comments about 9/11 or about the guilt or innoncence of bin Laden. He made some Christian points that truthfully he might have been right about.
My regret about bin Laden’s death is we couldn’t kill him twice, Probably not the most Christian statement but true none the less.
Mendenhall’s comments were:
“What kind of person celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side…
BWG TAKE: I think people were celebrating a mass murderer being brought to justice.
“@dkeller23 We’ll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style
BWG TAKE: Since Rashard’s degree is not in engineering and he has no background in explosives or aviation I have to say this was an ill advised comment!
“I believe in God. I believe we’re ALL his children. And I believe HE is the ONE and ONLY judge.
BWG TAKE: I believe that very thing. Although, I would be willing to bet the the Good Lord upstairs migh be willing to give you a pass on bin Laden! Either way I completely believe in this statement!
“Those who judge others, will also be judged themselves.
BWG TAKE: This is Christian doctrine and obviously what he believes. Hard to argue against the guy’s faith.
“For those of you who said you want to see Bin Laden burn in hell and piss on his ashes, I ask how would God feel about your heart?
BWG TAKE: I don’t think anyone is in a position to question what God will or won’t feel. I am glad bin Laden is in hell and thankful for at least a small time the world is a little bit safer!
“There is not an ignorant bone in my body. I just encourage you to #think”
BWG Take: It is good advice and it is time to move on get back to the business of winning football games!
When I last checked this was America and you are allowed to express your opinions! For what it is worth I think it is foolish to continue to harp on this.
