The don't invoke the Lords name and say he doesn't put anything on me that I can't handle. Especially when this whole situation occurred because you had a child out of wedlock. If your gonna take that route then I'll hold you partially responsible for recklessly bringing a child into this world.

Personally, I don't give a damn about Adrian Peterson. But I'm forced to hear this shit at work and it's annoying.

AP is a scumbag but I think him mentioning some false deity is the least of his scumbaggery.

You wont win the argument taking offense that part.

He's a flawed man, he'd probably be the first to tell you that. Your desire to try and turn him into a villain in a situation where a child was beaten to death by another man is silly.

When did I say the other man wasn't a horrible human being? All I'm saying is that Adrian Peterson looks a shitty dude to me as we'll. note a baby killer, but still shitty.

Really? When you put your sperm into random women with no regard as to whether a child is born then you raise the probability of bad stuff happening(assuming you would be a good and protective father).

And I'm not some guy who runs a round bashing religion. I just hate people that selectively use it.

How do you know their relationship? You have no idea if it was a random fling or a relationship that just didn't work out. Either way, him supporting that child is factual.

And again, no one is perfect. He's not preaching to you or anyone else. The guy got asked a question on a radio show and he answered it. He didn't sit at a podium and cast anyone down. He gave an opinion. Months ago. Dude will be the last person to say that he's perfect so I really don't even know why you'd go out of your way so much to lambast a guy based on hearsay 20 levels down.

He kind of did. When you give your opinion out in the mass media about a current subject you are speaking from a podium, and by "Not believing" that two consenting adults should not have their marriage viewed the same based off of something as silly as Gender you are casting people down.

I don't deny that a lot of people that speak from religious angles in the public eye are hypocritical, bringing it up when the story is about a 2 year old child is beaten to death, though, is pretty tasteless and pointless. Adrian Peterson didn't do anything wrong here. The guy who beat a child to death is the bad guy. That's it.

I agree that in the greater context of the incident it is pointless in what has happened. The true evil of the story is this Patterson guy who killed the child. Whether it is said aloud or not though a part of this story is the indictment of the character of Adrian Peterson. No person is without flaw but good lord if you are going to take a stand based on biblical principal against an entire group getting a right then you should at least follow your own standards. It seems like. Nothing about being perfect, but just about being able to look at yourself in the morning.

The media really is strange. They just grab stock photos of Pederson looking sad at a football game and use that as the tagline photo for the story...something extremely weird about that.
