I was actually pretty blown away by the angle 97.3 was taking on it, even scarbo. They both seemed to be commenitng on it from the standpoint of people who buy into that prosperity gospel bullshite.
This isn't about christian vs. non-christian. She clearly buys into a really, really demented form of christianity. The fact that I'm a Christian makes this even more offensive than if I wasn't, to be honest.

Jay Barker says "no harm done" and that if this is the only thing we have to complain about her, then she's doing a good job.
Says she's just rallying the fanbase.

I'm not a Biblical scholar and I don't want to criticize Ms. Chizik or Jay in particular or turn this into a theological debate but it's a little disconcerting how much improper doctrine and ideas there are in the church in general. I personally think the prosperity gospels confuse people and lead people astray more than they help. There seems to always be an unhealthy obsession with blaming every lack of success both financial and otherwise on the devil instead of the fact that one's own failures or misdeeds/sins are usually to blame. Maybe this turmoil is actually an act of God's grace towards the Chiziks. I wonder if Ms Chizik ever considered that.

I didn't hear any of that, but that shallow, frankly superstitious, Christianity stuff makes it all the more embarrassing. What is it that makes some Christians imagine they are the focus of Satan's attention?
I do believe God cares about people and their passions, so I imagine God cares about football. (I wouldn't be the least surprised if God is anti-football.) And I'm all for praying about difficult times. I'd be a lot more impressed, though, if Auburn people were rallying around poverty and education in Alabama instead of some hurt feelings.
