i'm glad he's ok… it's been a scary couple of days. hopefully this brush with disaster gives him a new perspective and lights a fire under his ass.

 

that said i can't help but shake my head when people attribute their surviving car crashes to god's protection. more than 3,000 people die in car crashes every day in the u.s…. it seems arrogant to suggest jesus had his hands on your steering wheel but decided to take a smoke break when the other 3,000 careened off a cliff or whatever. oh well, superstitions gonna superstition.

 

I have stopped for the most part trying to argue things religious. People have a right to believe what they want no matter how absurd it sounds.

ESPN is not Cam Newton network. There are thousands of football players, 1000s more NBA, golf, soccer, volley ball etc. Why should Cam hog all the airtime?

Never said it was the Cam Newton network. They like to bash him for towel on his head and not looking happy on the sidelines all the time. He made some great points and shows what type of man that he is. Give props when there's props to be giving.

God forbid he post a positive message about forgiving other people and living life to the fullest without people complaining he attributed his luck to God, not luck. I mean seriously, of all the things to complain about...

At the core of the human experience is the desire to live... To survive and thrive. Your instinct is to above all else ensure your survival. YOU. If you have a family, then that scope broadens, but the gist is the same, as your children would ensure your survival as well even if you pass.

That being said... To illustrate my point, regardless of your beliefs, if a tornado completely destroys your home and you come to laying in a field, do you open your eyes and start looking for Joe Shmoe in BFE, Nebraska to make sure he's alright, or do you start looking for YOUR family? Generally, people make sure themselves and their loved ones are safe and secure before moving on to being concerned with anyone else. It's not arrogance, it's human nature. It's survival.

So, when you go through an experience like that, first and foremost, you're thankful that you are alive. Again, regardless of your beliefs, you are thankful. You may express it in different ways but you are thankful.

Cam isn't being arrogant. Neither is anyone else that express that thankfulness with the sincerity he has, that they lived through a potentially-life threatening event. They are thankful that they, individually, are alive. They aren't thankful they lived and Joe Shmoe they don't know died. They are just thankful they lived. Furthermore, when you believe that you, yourself, as an individual, are being protected by a higher power, you are thankful that you were kept relatively safe and allowed to live through your experience.

Even if I wasn't a man of faith, I don't see how that is offensive.

But, I agree with everything Cam said, and I'm thankful he is alive and well.

Why can't the world practice more tolerance.
