Christianity and Catholicism are corporations and most of the followers are blind to that fact.

Good deal man... Congrats...
And yeah, it is what it is... Best thing that ever happened to me, honestly... I'm enjoying myself too damn much right now having just graduated and gotten a job.. I can't imagine what I'd be doing with myself if I were married...

Just not my thing... I'm not here to judge or tell you whether you're right or wrong...
But I do think people who are open or vocal about their beliefs, get WAY too much hate when they screw up... And it's not just here. It's everywhere... Because someone is open about their faith and their belief in God and doing things the right way, they better lead perfect lives and never do anything that strays from those beliefs?
It's like the Dwight Howard thing several months back when it came out he knocked up that broad... The religion jokes and comments were ENDLESS.. He was a fraud, a hypocrite, whatever... People make mistakes. Nobody lives a life free of sin and mistake... Sure, Hamilton and Howard are open about their faith, but I've NEVER heard either one of them come out and say somebody was this or that because of their mistakes... I don't think either one of them are such extreme Bible beaters or in-your-face with their beliefs that they deserve extra criticism when they make mistakes...
i get what you are saying. but when people are all self-righteous they shouldnt even be putting themselves in a position to "make a mistake". im not mad at the guy or anything, its just a funny situation. i might be a skeptic but i doubt this is the only time this has happened.
I think you misunderstand Josh as being "self-righteous." You (as well as bazillions of other people) seem to think that when somebody like Josh finds God that what they are saying is "Oh I'm religious now, now I am a changed man and I am going to live and act perfectly." In fact what they're saying is, "I realize that I'm a flawed human being who screws up all the time, I'm glad that God forgives me for all these sins and with his help I am going to try my best to live a better life." He isn't going around thinking he's better than everybody now that he's a Christian, quite the opposite.
if you bring up God all the time and are borderline preaching Christianity, you better live like a saint. better to just say hey i like to do dumb things and maybe i should learn to keep it under control or just not apologize for it.
by the way i dont think that he thinks hes better than anyone. i just happen to think hes full of @%%$. but to be honest, i dont even mind that he goes around drinking and licking whip cream off women. better to acknowledge the type of person you are than to keep apologizing for it.
Christianity isn't a religion that is based on people doing good works and living a perfect life. The premise is that EVERYBODY, even the Pope, Mother Theresa, and your pastor, sins and screws up all the time; humans are born with a sinful nature. Of course what Josh did is a little more egregious than the sins that Mother Teresa was comitting, but the principle is still the same: we all fall short of the glory of God. Christianity is a religion for broken people who are desperate and need to be transformed, not for self-righteous people who try to live a perfect life of their own volition. Why do you think Jesus was always hanging around thieves and prostitutes?
BTW, I just realized that the brunette with implants sweats more than Kevin Youkilis
and isn't dude a Christian Man? always giving thanks to God.

What Josh has put his family through, throughout everything involving his addiction, is NOT a good look... You just gotta hope he and his wife, strong as their relationship appears to be, have the sense to teach those girls to expect better from their men, know that daddy has made HUGE mistakes in his life and that what they've grown up around ain't how things are supposed to work...Originally Posted by CP1708
She obviously a tough chick who's put up with a lotta crap. That's totally cool that she can let go like that and stay the course, got no problem with that. But I do have a question, and that is, at what point do you look at your two little daughters and say to them, don't ever let some scumbag boy treat you this way or that way, knowing full well what their own father has done to their mom? Josh need to look at that perspective and find his way thru that.
Some parents know how to relate what they've been through and teach their children to learn from the mistakes they've made and what they've gone through, and you gotta hope Josh and his wife are those kinda parents...
