I don't think it's sacrilegious at all. If anything we are pointing out WHY it's important not to trivialize God's power. Deion is blatantly using the name of Jesus for personal gain which equals "using the Lord's name in vain". If nobody stands up and says "Deion is wrong for doing this", especially Christians, it makes it look bad for those Christians who truly follow His teachings. God is not shaking his head at you, he is shaking his head at black sheep Sanders for misrepresenting Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB81 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 The sacrilege is all on Deion's side of the table. Unless of course I mistakenly skipped the part in the Bible about discount auto repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Some months ago I saw Deion and Michael Irvin on some TV Evangelist program. They were talking about the mistakes that Michael had made, and how Deion had helped pulled Michael out of his situation. (Of course, this was before Michael was busted, again...) Deion really struck me as just being...fake. I NEVER believed in his claims of being a born-again christian. Especially since he had no ill-feelings about walking away with his ill-gotten gains from the Redskins. He is a fake, phoney piece of crap. And I would NOT put it past Deion to have said what he's being accused of stating, especially since such cheap behaviour seems rather fitting for his character.

Dale Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I don't know if this has been posted yet, but Deion actually won this civil case today in court, oddly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallyG3 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 UNBELEIVABLE!!! http://www.news8austin.com/content/headlines/?ArID=77528&SecID=2 Former Cowboys player wins case over repair bill 7/14/2003 5:30 PM By: Associated Press DALLAS -- A judge in Dallas on Monday sided with former Cowboy Deion Sanders in a civil dispute over payment for car repairs. The matter involves work done on a 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible. The owner of the repair shop claimed Sanders wanted to pay only $1,500 of the total bill, which came to nearly $4,300. The dispute involved what work had been authorized to be done. Sanders said he could have paid the higher amount, but it's the principle of the matter and he was tired of getting ripped off. State District Judge Joe Cox ruled in favor of Sanders and the $1,500 he's already paid. An attorney has been trying to collect the bill from Sanders since 2001 on behalf of Phil Compton. Compton on Monday said Sanders had been giving him small sermons about how the money cometh from unbenounced places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awgustlab Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 "I was lying there in bed at 4 am when I was awakened by these awesome lights in my room. It was like a 747 jumbo jet had landed beside my bed, and there was an incredible rush of wind that felt like a helicopter had landed. I remember opening my eyes just the slightest bit and saying, 'God, if thats you, take me Lord,' and I was trembling all over." - Deion Sanders Man, why couldn't Deion have been taken that night? Taken to a far away place. What a friggin moron - a pathetic man. Go away Deion - go far far away. Please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallyG3 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Check this thread on a Dallas fansite: Most of them are pissed right off that Deion is still being associated witht the 'boys. - Funny! http://mazevo.com/mazevo/sm.x?c=dallascowboys&f=dallascowboysmain&m=15256 Also while I was there - I noticed this thread where some uninformed fool is bashing the Skins, then another cowpoke corrects him.
