CNN article on Dylan Thompson

[The Yancey]

I think that Dylan should transfer to Liberty.

Who is your avatar pointing at? All in good humor don't get all upset just making a point that it is every where and usually overlooked...

Haha nice ghost text

It's all in good spirit for me, I just to find the humor in both sides of the argument. And I guess that picture shows how active I am on cockytalk lol.

I'm all for DT believing whatever he wants, as long as he plays good football!!
I was just making a joke about this thread because like 2 people said ''let's not get into religion'', and a couple posters said that saying that 'makes them sick' or 'get out of here'....

I just don't like people thinking they are a better person than everyone else just because they are religious. Be like Jesus :-)

I find it fascinating that people have a problem with him sharing his beliefs but they want to promote their right to trash him for doing so.

Dizzy, did you read this article? It isn't an exact parallel to the thoughts in your post, but I thought it was a great article concerning respecting others and their beliefs.

Seriously? I see no correlation. There are plenty of schools that have had so-called Christian and God-fearing players that get in with the wrong crowd and get in trouble, as has Carolina.

And that's a great article, but really think we should talk about Dylan's hair. He has a great head of hair. I don't think that will insight any bad posts... So discuss.

I hadn't before but you're right and people on both sides need to read this and understand tolerance a little more.

I think a discussion on his hair is intolerant to our hair challenged brothers out there.

What a cluster f*ck thread this turned out to be.....

I unfortunately support this claim :-(

[Makindough]

I just think its interesting about how many of yall call Dylan out for "always throwing God out to us when he is behind a mic" I gotta say, Im a Christian and Im not casting judgement but why, if it bothers you so much, dont you just NOT comment...or read...or listen to what Dylan says? You might be pleasantly surprised at how many of our players wake up every morning and quote the Bible or thank God for their blessings on Twitter. All im saying is its fine if you dont believe heck its your right, freedom of religion, but if you dont like it...just move on! Then start an Atheist thread and see how many Christians respond! just sayin...think about it

BTW he is our QB so its in the FOOTBALL thread

[impirius]

I think there has been more arguing in here about being asked not to argue about religion than actual arguing about religion. So in a sense, the request kind of worked...

Personally, I'm just glad that the article is about Carolina athletes involved in non-pyramid-scheme websites.

Ooooohhhh, good point. I guess in my attempt to diffuse I inadvertently started a team hair (Dylan) vs team bald (Connor). EGADS! THERE IS NO AVOIDING IT. WE ARE ALL DOOMED!

[highpockets12]

DO NOT READ.............I like where the young mans head is at. If he belives in the principals of his faith and contributes his sucess to his faith , Thats his business. You see more athletes doing the same.Must be something to it !!!! Real men arent afraid to declare thier faith.

Jesus actually had his harshest criticism of the religious. I think he compared them to whitewashed tombs. Pretty on the outside, but full of corruption on the inside.

[Makindough]

my statement has nothing to do with cully, its directed to the posters who insist on commenting on threads like this complaining about the topic of our players and religion. like i said, dont like it, dont read it. there is a difference between starting a thread titled..."BELIEVE IN GOD" or one that says..."An article about our player and his beliefs on a national website."

[sodacitynate]

Good for him, if he's following his beliefs. Would like to see him lay off that stuff a bit in the press conferences, though - he's a little over-the-top at times with it.
