You must be having some dementia issues today. You just called someone a bigot is this very thread a few minutes ago. Call your Dr. Wow.
Might Richt’s Attempts To Spread His Faith Raise Questions For UM?
- Thread starter tcane58
- Start date
"your people"? And your'e concerned that there is a Tcane58 on every message board? Gotta love it.
Wow, the Butch or bust crowd is getting desperate. Tcane is one poster who will be the first to jump while blaming the bigots for not hiring Butch. Not sure anyone will stop you.
Wrong... This nation was founded on Christian principles. Not all of the founding fathers were Christians but they believed in God and knew the importance of faith. "In God we trust" and " One nation under God" ring a bell? The downfall of our country began in the sixtees when we took God out of the schools so to speak and the country seems to be attempting to take God out of everything daily. Scary times
Oh boy.
Angry, delusional old man in the house. Scary times....funny stuff.
Our country is doing just fine...greatest in the world.

obviously since are constitution prohibits the government from establishing a national religion or endorsing one, we were not established as a Christian nation. However, we were most certainly established upon Judeo - Christian principles.
Lol...this is why no one should take the religious right seriously, facts don't seem to be important. "One nation under God" was not a part of the pledge of allegiance until 1954 when a bill was passed in congress adding it. "In God we trust" did not appear on ANY money or official government logos until around 1956.
Angry? Lol... Funny how when anyone believes in God or speaks up he is viewed as angry or intolerant. What a joke
Stop throwing cold water on this guy's angry old man, sky is falling routine.
We needed some humor, it has been kind of tense around here.
In fairness, you could understand whyvhe is alarmed, especially after JTH informed everyone that somebody's "people" are trying to play the Grinch and steal everyone's Christmas.

You're right....Scary Times....BOOOOOOOOOOO.
Again, sorry I know where you are coming from...It was way better for you before the 60's ruined everything..before the voting rights act...civil rights movement....when there was a chicken in every pot ...you know the rest.
If you read above I was one of the first people that said I don't have a problem with the Richt in this regard at all. I respect his beliefs and also the right of those not to believe.
What I am responding to is bunch of nonsense posted about everything being ruined after the 60's and your ridiculous scary times nonsense.

Allegation means that he is doing something wrong or forcing his religion on others.
If you are Jewish, why not read up on Mark's thoughts on the Holy Land and his commitment to supporting the Jewish people. If we had more of the Jewish and Christian leaders in the city of Miami doing what Mark does in Georgia, the city would be a much better place.
Sorry, but Christianity, is not a private belief. It is never to be forced or coerced, but it certainly is not private.
Whatever you believe, that man has done a lot of good. He is a way better servant to the city of Athens (namely the inner city and with at risk youth) than a ball coach. We should be so lucky to have him in our city.
What's hysterical is me envisioning what is likely happening at this very moment: ennis is furiously googling, initially sure that the liberal professor is wrong, and then sinking into his chair as his world is shattered to find out that, in fact, I am correct that the oft cited "Christian nation" phrases are relatively new things pushed recently for Cold War propaganda purposes lol.
Lets not forget "separation of church and football." Or is it "church and state"? I always confuse the two.
Nice edit of this post after I called you out, race baiter. You clearly were responding to someone else. I quoted it earlier before your dementia set in. Spineless cunny.
It was edited because I accidently quoted Wak4law in my post. But hey, you're winning the message board war. That's all that counts.
Religious right?? Lol
Funny how you bring in topics not even discussed or referenced like the civil rights movement, voting rights act... Both great things but go ahead and twist my statement. Typical bleeding heart liberal.By the way, I was not alive the majority of the sixtees, but nice try.
Wrong. You clearly were responding to others calling out your idiocy and discussed specific religions. What does it feel like getting abused on here these last few weeks? Don't just yet.

One of my family members is on Dabo's coaching staff. There is a very strong Christian bent on that staff, however, they are very well versed and advised on how not to cross any legal lines. Players and coaches can remove themselves from any religious activity at any time without reprisal or retribution, including any team prayer before or after games. This is 100% sincere. Most Christian coaches are very well advised. They try to strike a balance of not hiding their faith and not imposing it on people that are not interested.
See there you go. Not liberal at all.
You brought up how the 60's began the downfall of this country....I know the truth can be very scary.--scary times.

Glad you are getting a good laugh and think you are so smart. This nation was founded on Christian principles and that is a fact. I don't need to google to know that "professor"... Go ahead and puff your chest out... Feel bad for you
If you do a quick Google search on "Mark Richt and religion" you'll see a bunch of articles of accusations.
Lol this is the least of our worries... Good for Richt. How about we stick to football here
OP. Have no fear. This board is open and liberal. They would have no problem whatsover if we hire a Muslim Coach who proselytizes the Muslim Religion to his players. After all there are many African Americans who identify as Muslim. So, a Muslim coach reading the Koran at breakfast would not be an issue with our open and accepting Cane brethren. I'm sure the Non-christian members of the BOT would be fine with it too.
Many of the early settlers came to this land seeking religious freedom as Christians. Oddly enough, the British Colonies founded this land as an outpost of a Christian Nation. While our laws were forged with the ideal of religious freedom and a clear separation of Church and State, the driving force behind our precepts, our laws and eventual constitution by our founding fathers was based in the commonality of their God.
Most of the early Christians in America were Deists, hence the strong penchant for a clear Sep of Church and State, none the less, they were Christians.
Spare me the Fox News crap, I'm not a republican, and my response to the OP has nothing to do with the 1950's, the pledge, the dollar bill or anything you would like to think as an apparent atheist. Hey, that's your right, tell the world about it, but you can take the notion that our settlers and the bulk of our founding fathers were not Christians this forging our country on Christian precepts.
I say all of this not to fade any other religion or belief. Thomas Jefferson and others fought for this very notion. What I am defending is the "first" and the "foundational" religion of this country should not cause a man a job just because he pea fully does not keep it a secret.
Wake you're looking worse with each post, go to the Declaration of Independence, and read second paragraph. There is really so much more evidence, but thought I'd make it easy for you. By the way, it was written before the fifties, just thought you should know.
He's a professor at UM you'd think he would know that
It's scary that a persons faith would be held again him in the hiring process . He's allowed to be religious. And he's allowed to spread the word.
Universities are notoriously
Secular these days. So the OP does raise a valid issue. So long as he doesn't require his players to be in prayer groups he should be fine.
The principles of Christanity are universal . And should be shared with all .
Trying to convert Dr. Frenk however would probably be a mistake

Disagree on all that, but believe that Richt's strong faith and desire to do more with his life and platform might lead him away from football and into a different direction.
No, Richt's faith won't keep Miami from talking with him. Conversely, his faith might keep him from wanting to coach at the University of Miami right now. He just spent 15 years at Georgia; a job he took when he was 40 years old.
He's 55 now. He has four kids—two that he and his wife adopted from the Ukraine. His faith is everything to him and there's long been talk of missionary work or shifting his focus from football.
If it came down to it, would see Richt wanting less to do with Miami's liberal ways, than Miami not wanting anything to do with him because of his faith. Don't think either is the case, but if it came down to it, that's more likely.
