Having served as a prison chaplain for five years I can understand your concerns. That said, people do come to faith in Christ in prison and for many it is genuine. One test of how genuine is the fruit evidenced in their lives after they have believed in Christ. Mr. Vick has clearly demonstrated the fruit of a changed life since coming to Christ. If God in Christ has forgiven Mr. Vick and made him a NEW man in Christ, that is all that counts.

Mr. Vick has every right to earn a living doing what he does best.

"Mr. Vick has every right to earn a living doing what he does best."

I strongly disagree. No one has a "right" to a particular job. All employment is a priviledge predicated not only on performance but also character. I have worked in a hiring capacity for several firms, and according to company policy a criminal record mitigated overwhelmingly against an applicant. In my current position, a felony arrest (not even a conviction) would result in immediate termination. This is called "having standards", and it is foriegn to the NFL and apparently many others.
