    Re: Marcus Fizer

    I question anyone who is a "born again Christian" or a minister. Religion is great and so is politics, but only in moderation.

    I think it would be possible for him to earn a paycheck over seas, but it would be nearly impossible for him to get back to an NBA level with his past injury problems.

    I wish him the best, but the non-functional world that most profession athletes live in, do not prepare them and allow them to be successful after their careers are over.

    Just my thoughts.

    Question away. I'm one of these born-again Christians.

    Never even thought of it. Just the one, but that sounds interesting.

    You should go for it. I would, but I'm just an original Christian, so I can't claim to be born again.

    Religion has no meaning in 'moderation.' You're 'all in' or not in at all.

    I wish marcus and his many descendants well.

    I think he/she is talking more about how its expressed or forced on others.

    I get what you're saying. In the end, you can't force anyone to believe anything. If someone is faithful to what they believe, they do kind of need to talk about it. It's too important not to.

    Then maybe the phrase 'I question anyone who is a born again christian or minister' wasn't the best choice of words.

    Exactly.

    I believe in God. I try not to discriminate against any person based on their skin, religion, and political orientation.

    I believe in good and evil people. I believe there are both in all religions and political organizations.

    I believe in treating people as well and better than they treat me.

    I rarely discuss politics or religion in a serious discussion with anyone.

    I believe in Tim Tebow as a player and a person.

    This is my creed.

    Good thing this thread didn't get completely out of line and stayed on topic.

    This could be true. I probably should have stated "I question anyone famous who is born again christian or minister." That probably would be more accurate.

    Why can't they be legitimate? It's the same experience as any other born-again person.
