What they won't show is Markus hogging all the green bean casserole at the buffet.

Hopefully the atheists aren't pissed off.

Why do you feel the need to make this comment?

About Markus hogging the green bean casserole? Nah, they're as used to it as most of the other Christians. They think he's earned it and that the world's a better place for it.

[tower912]

I didn't realize green bean casserole was a thing for atheists.

A select few posters think the publicity for Markus is just to cover up the fact that he's a selfish hero ball player that is all about himself and is enabled to be so by his coach.

I, for one, am very happy he represents Marquette. His being active on the community and his willingness to talk about mental health are very impressive for a kid his age.

And I didn't realize it was a thing for FCA members. Lots to be learned reading Scoop!

YOU'RE the tool

Proving my point.  Please, educate us all about why you think the treatment given this topic is not worthy of being criticized. Tell us all why you think our team's top player giving a keynote address at the FCA is deserving of ridicule.

You just proved MY point.

Athletes in Action still play exhibition games against D1 programs?  They used to play MU back in the day and had some quality players like Rod Foster on the team.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

He spoke instead of writing a letter?

cuz he is an anti-atheist bigot. probably an anti-anything but Christian bigot as well

100% not true.  There's a reason I took Islam and Hinduism, two different classes, at Marquette...to broaden my education and belief system. In graduate school at the University of Kansas, that continued with additional education in East Asian Languages and Cultures (my Masters Program), which included courses in Buddhism.  My father didn't belong to any religion until he was in his late 50's when he became a Catholic prior to his death. 

Unfortunately you made an absolutely incorrect statement based on no information about me or my beliefs.
