This is not about the individual Jon Jones and the goal is not to prompt a discussion on him and his various bad choices. He is solely an Avatar for the sentiment he captured in the sentiment below which I have personally known many Christians offer some version of.
Since some context is needed Jon jones is arguably the most talented MMA fighter of all time and many consider him the GOAT of the LHW division, and some believe All of MMA. He however has a deep and recurring history with
various abuses such as steroids, illegal drugs, drunk driving including accidents with innocent people (pregnant woman, etc) and fleeing the scene, Spousal abuse and many other issues.
The question I want to explore is whether people see the sentiment contained in the above as:
- something a reflective and humble person coming to terms with their fallibility would say
- something a person, looking to not own full responsibility for their actions and needs to find reasons to not accept full culpability. ('God made me this way!')
- A little from A and a little from B
