Compliment to srlarson & The Sweaz. I have mixed feelings about this topic but after some debate I believe it worthwhile. Mr. Larson has responded favorably and we are in discussions. I've also heard from the Sweaz, while he and Nigel going at it are out of the question, we might try to find someone on their behalf if Nigel is open, so far haven’t heard from him. I made the statement tongue n cheek and didn't think I would hear back about it. We would hope to raise funds for a charity, Sweaz even suggested a charity in Abilene. I must also give props to uwantango for their post.
Now to Mr. Larson, I look forward to our discussions and possible open / public debate. I also think it appropriate that you ask questions, and challenge supporters of God and Christians of which I am one. I believe far too many Christians and people of faith ignore the principle defending our faith we should always be prepared to give an answer to questions that come up (2 Timothy 2:15, Colossians 4:6, 1 Peter 3:15). I am not religious and appreciate comments made earlier about that but neither do I ignore my faith. I will say this, there was once my son was admonished for saying a prayer before a match by a referee, he takes less than 1 minute to do so and always does it at the first of the match, right off the bat. This was the only time I have ever seen this, it was at the Haysville Kids Tournament this year.
Closing thought, how would people respond if you called a wrestler a Devil? We do that all of the time, how is the comparison different other than our rationale that God deserves reverence, is it not possible that you still show irreverence by using the Devil metaphor?
