Girl refuses to wear 666 bib for race

Post by Florida Hokie »

Brilliant administrators of race can't see fit to change the number for her. I don't think this is a war against Christianity issue. I think this is yet another example in about 1,000,000 of the spineless, brainless adults in charge of our education system. Seriously, just change the number - how hard is that?

That said, it is sad to me that this girl believes wearing the number would put her relationship with God at risk. God doesn't care what bib number you wear.

She should wear it upside down and be # 999.

I have. He said I don't give a rat's patootie.

Granted, I was dropping acid at the time so he may have said it differently, but he definitely said it.

Oddly enough, one would think he sounded like Morgan Freeman but he doesn't....Ryan Seacrest.

One of the article's commenters noted something I did.
The Yahoo! writers used "purported" in describing the girl's faith.
She said this is something she believes. Why bring her integrity into question? The only way the word "purported" would make sense is if the writer is saying that 'the girl said this is her belief, but there's room to think she doesn't really believe it'

I also chuckle at the athiests & apparent left-leaners who mock her.
?What ever happened to a woman's right to choose?
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!

Saw an interview with a guy that was prisoner 666 in Alcatraz back in the 50's. No special stories but that's a hell of a distinction.

Is it absolutely necessary for you to go out of your way to insult other posters when making your points? Nolan and once are very good participants in this forum.

True. She should be concerned with clearer eternally damning matters, like women wearing pants.

This whole incident is a ridiculous waste of time. On her part, and then on the parts of the peeps who wouldn't just change the number. Hardly anything God would desire us to spend much of our time on.

Even if you don't agree with her decision, the adults need to act like adults and provide a reasonable accommodation.

Yes, this is one of the few "places" I frequent where you can get called out for refraining from acting like a douchebag.

The lady is a nut. She's afraid of the number 6 and apparently abjectly terrified of the prospect of 3 of them side by side... It's an irrational fear, but I don't see why someone couldn't just give the loonie woman another number.

I disagry.
I don't think my wearing a 666 in a race would put my relationship with God at risk. But who am I to suggest knowing exactly what her relationship with God is comprised of? We're not talking about MY relationship with God (nor any of yours). We're talking about HER relationship with God. If deep down, she feels & knows this as her truth, with her God,...then, yeah, wearing 666 would indeed put her relationship at risk. That is totally her call, and not for anyone else to mock.

I wouldn't ever think to wave my hand around my chest to head & forehead as large-c Catholics do. NOT doing so, in their minds, affects their relationship with God. If they feel their relationship has been affected, then by God and by themselves, it has.

This is no different.
I'm surprised some here would judge it the way they are.
