This entry comes with a disclaimer.
I am not a very religious person. I was raised Catholic, but 7 years of Catholic school did their magic on me, and now I’m non-affiliated. Aunt Annie still prays to the saints, etc. etc., but the only religious observance we have over the course of the year is to watch Midnight Mass from the Vatican on NBC each Christmas Eve.
Long story long, this is not a blog that is going to tell you whether to have a religious belief or to not have a religious belief, or to have a political belief other than to try to be civil in our discussions.
I have many strong opinions on both topics, but they are not shared in this space, and on the Fourth of July, that will remain the case. My Facebook friends are currently laughing about this.
So: it turns out that Red Wings prospect and University of Minnesota-Duluth forward Max Plante did a podcast with “Sports Spectrum: Where Sports and Faith Meet.” Max happens to talk about religion and his relationship with Jesus, going to Bible studies with his teammates, and working with Athletes in Action. Among other things.
Watch it if you wish, don’t watch it if you do not wish to do so. And try to be nice to other people, unless they are not nice to you.
