New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is urging America’s students to live out their faith by bringing Bibles to school.
Brees, one of the all-time great NFL quarterbacks, made his comments in a video supporting Bring Your Bible to School Day, an Oct. 3 event that is sponsored by the Christian organization Focus on the Family.
“Hey guys, Drew Brees here,” Brees says in the video. “One of my favorite verses in the Bible is 2 Corinthians 5:7, ‘For we live by faith, not by sight,’ so I want to encourage you to live out your faith on Bring Your Bible to School Day, and share God’s love with friends. You’re not alone.”
MY COMMENT:
Nothing more American than this!
As a soldier, I brought my personal bible with me on deployments, and carried the 91st Psalm printed on a camouflaged scarf in Iraq, referring to it frequently, and especially before going out on convoys.
Our faith is personal, but because of the protections of the Constitution, created and preserved by men of God, our founders, we are able to FREELY EXPRESS our religious faith.
Drew Brees is a hero on and off the field, and a Great American.
Let's all go one step further and bring our Bibles to WORK on October 3rd, and set the example for our kids!
I think I'm just going to leave a copy sitting on my desk, so that anyone who happens by can see it. Who knows, maybe it will help strike up a conversation?

I think that is a great idea. We can get all of the religions to bring their holy books to school and work, from the Bible to the Koran, to the Vedas, to the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Satanic Temple's coloring books for kids, and so on.

MAJ Montgomery Granger - is there a reason why you would object to sharing the loving word of the Satanist Temple with the children? How about the loving word of Allah and his Prophet? What about the loving word of His Noodliness? Or that you would object to someone promoting skeptical and rational thinking? What about the Buddhists? The Mormons? The Hindus?
Second, this is not a "positive" story about religion, unless you happen to be in the religious majority. I know of cases where Christians have hounded those who they disapprove of, such as gays and transgenders, to the point that some become suicidal. I watched a friend and co-worker destroy his career trying to hide his homosexuality due to his religious upbringing.
Are you OK with other religions trying to convert your children to their belief (or non-belief)?

MAJ Montgomery Granger - BTW, my post was serious, not sarcastic. If the Christians are allowed to try and convert people at school, every other group is allowed to do the same.

Capt Gregory Prickett and a good part to this article is that a more far-winged religious affiliation used Drew Brees as their spokesman for his comment. Drew then came out saying he doesnt condone their methods (hate against LGBTQ+ persons and more) and stated he accepts and loves everyone for who they are. Because that is what Christianity should be about.....acceptance. Not judgement.

SSG(P) (Join to see) - that's what some believe that Christianity should be about, but certainly not all Christians believe that. There are over 40,000 different sects of Christianity and they agree on next to nothing.
