Coach

This is a true story and I'm really interested in the suggestions and rational that you can come up with for the situation.

dude your not having any dislikes...scary

[GrapplingIgnorance]

@managarm1349 Well this isn't a controversial video, it's just asking a question. I didn't expect any likes or dislikes here, though I'm pleased with how many people have responded.

you don't owe him, it wasn't a loan it was a gift. He may choose to blame god for giving it, but you know better and know that he did it just out of the kindness of his heart.

I would put myself in his shoes. IF you knew someone who was having a hard time, and you gave him money not wanting it back. How would you feel if you ..... (fill in the blank). What would you want this person to do for you? Just be the other person.

[JesusEatsCats]

I would contact him to thank him for the donation, explaining at the same time that I am not religious... seemed as if Coach was leaning towards some sort of subconscious indoctrination. He didnt HAVE to mention god. Paying it forward would not be considered unless the person accepting the gift was in a similar situation as the one you were in as well as this person having to be someone I cared for, as the Coach cared for you. Charity is not an option, as I see charity as a scam... personally...

Well I don't know how much you believe in...let's say, feelings. I don't mean happiness, sadness or whatever. I personally believe that sometimes people just get a feeling about something and maybe Coach had a feeling that you'd need money and that's how he got the whole God telling him. But I do believe that depending on how you feel you should try to help others as much as you can, so if you see a homeless person on the street cornor give them some spare change. Just be compassionet to others.

Donate the money to your alma mater.

[DeathnoteBB]

I'd say pay it forward to someone else, unless Coach is in a time where he could really use it. I mean keeping it between just two people doesn't help people much, but maybe if you helped other people they'd help other people, and more than just 1 or 2 people would have been helped with whatever financial issues they have.

I would hunt him down

[OppositionDept]

Some blasphemer disliked you

no me gusta

[tazmaniainc]

you are in debt to a person - hunt him down and pay him back with a gift of kindness as well. or pay a gift of kindness to 3 other people.

if you wish to insert your views, do so - tell him that this is what ur atheistic morals tells you to do, and (maybe) that you will not stop on just that.

1:35 - If that's what blessing a person means, then the pope must be broke XD

Still i can appreciate that the coach was trying to help you no matter what reasons he had. If it were me, i would offer to pay the money back, and if he still didn't want it then i would find another struggling college student to give the money to.
