RG3 forced to turn religious T-shirt inside out, Christians get mad at gays.

RG3's T-shirt was a violation of NFL rules. It also told non-Christians that they have no peace in their lives.

Robert Griffin III, the now-former Washington quarterback, was about to wear a Christian T-shirt at a post-game press conference until the NFL said...ummmm, no. RG3's shirt read "Know Jesus No Peace" and, simultaneously, "No Jesus No Peace." The reason he was told to turn the shirt inside out had nothing to do with Jesus (see below). But, frankly, I'm glad they told him not to wear it.

It's one thing to say "Know Jesus No Peace." It's a pretty positive statement about one man's religious belief about the power of Jesus in his life. But "No Jesus No Peace" tells me that because I don't "believe in Jesus," I have "no peace" in my life. Kinda crappy and 100% negative. He has no idea who has found peace in their life and who has not. There are plenty of Christians who live life in turmoil and many non-Christians who live a beautifully peaceful existence.

Somehow I had expected more of this man.

I disagree with the author on one point...this is exactly what I expected from this fundy dipshit.
