And it's true.
So, which part bothers you? The part where he believes in the boogie man or the part where it doesn't mean he's going to be here long term?

They weren't intended to be snide. Quite the opposite, they were intended not to start a debate on religion since this seems like the wrong place for one.
Yes, referring to God as "the boogie man" and ridiculing Kirk's and his father's faith wasn't meant to snide at all. But you are right, this isn't the place for that discussion. There are probably a dozen plus threads in the lounge dedicated to the subject. I was going to let this drop, but then you went off on it again:

I don't see anything wrong about that quote at all. He is a FA next year, and he doesn't know if he'll be in Washington.
Everything is wrong with that quote. It isn't "god's plan." There is no god, or at least no proof of one. If there were one it would have better things to do than care where Kirk Cousins plays football.
Pawning the responsibility of his future off on a god is crap. It's his decision and he has to live with the consequences.
Again, having said that, god wants you in D.C., Kirk.
If you want to have that debate in the appropriate forum, I'll be happy to engage you in it. But please stop bringing it up here and saying you aren't trying to start it.

And B&G --- Since you did, I'll also repeat myself. No one gives a $h!^ what your opinion is on religion. My facebook stream is chalk full of ignorant/misinformed idiots who delusionally think people actually care or are influenced by what they post. Whether myself or anyone else agrees or disagrees is irrelevant to the fact not one person comes to Hog Wash to do anything except talk skins football.
That being said, shut your mouth on the religious crap. It wasn't even an issue as I clarified it. This isn't the proper venue for you to spew your opinions. No one cares --- literally. Do it on facebook.

OK? ...
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

He's a religious guy. I'm not going to knock someone over their faith. If you don't chose to agree or believe in something, so be it. No need to knock the guy over something he believes in deeply.
And I'd say the fact that Don Cousins is now cancer free would be evidence enough (for Kirk at least) that there's a higher power out there.
