Jon Jones on hit-and-run: 'God meant for what happened to happen'

[TCE]

"This may sound weird, but I believe that God meant for what happened to happen," Jones said.. "I know a lot of people may twist this or look at it like, 'Why would God put this girl in a car accident with you? That's a selfish way of thinking.' But since that happened, so much good has happened in a lot of people's lives. I've been able to reach thousands of kids.

"I've told my story 72 times to completely different groups, to complete strangers. There's something really freeing about being so real, open and candid with complete strangers and letting them judge you," he continues. "It's helped me know who I am. It's helped me acknowledge the piece-of-shit qualities I had. Truth of the matter, I had some piece-of-shit ways. Still do have some. But at the same time, I have some really great qualities as well."

"Gods will" is uttered only by the greatest of fools.

[Cage917r]

Spoken like a typical person using religion to write off their wrong doings.

 

[Watermelonfresh]

let's leave Jones alone...


look he has issues, I think he was screwed over by that idiot cop, Jones should have handled situation better no doubt but he was screwed.

It was god's will for Jones to do coke, cheat on his wife, and rack up numerous traffic infractions. Jones was just staying the course.
Whatever happened to his catfish anyways?

 

[Loiosh]

Does God's will negate free will?

Did God force him to take those actions?

 

[A Very Serious Cat]

I wonder what god thinks about taking the blame for this

 

[Grenz]

Yes Jon, God was watching and thought 'You know, instead of curing world hunger and unhappiness, I'm gonna intervene and make Jon's car crash. That way he'll be able to talk to some kids and make the world an unoticeably better place.' Jesus was like 'But Dad, what about all those kids getting raped and murdered everyday?'. God thought for a bit, blew out another gigantic vape cloud and said 'Yea....but that seems like a lot of effort. Let's just do the Jon Jones thing and get faded.'

I take someone who believes in god as serious as I take someone who believes in a magical pink unicorn just because it was referenced in some random book some noobs wrote.

There's no discernable difference between the two.

He was actually talking about himself in that quote.

 

[faustian]

lol and his fanboys wonder why rational people can't stand him. Must be racism.

"...I know a lot of people will twist this..."

And sherdog comments.

 

[Bah McGreGOAT]

[Vegesus44]

What a "bundle of sticks".

Oh wow. So edgy

Those kids are so lucky that God drove Jon's car into a pregnant woman. I hope they realize that

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Good one Jon. Good one

 

[SlicerDM]

Yah and Allah wanted the twin towers to fall down too.

He knew a lot of people would twist it because it is nonsensical. What he meant was, 'I know a lot of people will see through this BS rationalization but . . .'
