You see I thought even though he wants nothing to do with OJ, he still wants him to find God. And I do too. I know some of you don't believe in God so don't belittle me but I hope he finds confesses that he did it and asks God for forgiveness.

I believe in God, and Im surprised to see all the people on here that don't believe.
But I strongly disagree with your reason that he left the Bible--so that it'll help him. No, he left the Bible because he wants nothing to do with him or anything that helped him. It was his way of moving on and saying eff you.
As for confessing, you've never dealt with anyone as bad as OJ. A pathological liar that has no remorse. A man like him truly believes that he didn't do it and that the world owes him.
You're right. He won't confess. slightly OT but I have a question about his playing career, was he one of the best Running backs ever?
Watched the entire run of the show twice. The first time I watched was during the broadcasts and then binge watched all 10 episodes while I was home sick late last week.
My initial impressions are that the show was VERY well done and based on comments from Marcia Clark and others who were close to the case, it was a pretty spot-on representation of what happened. As a high schooler back in '94-'95 the case was a major part of my daily life. My Mom and Dad watched Court TV non-stop during the trial and the only thing people at school did was talka bout the case as well. I remember vividly the day the verdict came in. There were teachers and students whooping and hollering in the hallways. Needless to say, there were some of us who were not happy with the verdict.
The show took the case to another level because it took the viewer to places that they couldn't have been back in the day and gave viewers a periscope into the thinking and planning behind the prosecution and the defenses cases. I thoroughly enjoyed it and believe it is some of the best TV produced in the last ten years. In fact, it might be one of the best seasons of a television show EVER produced. A lot of care was taken to portray each character as faithfully as they could (the only exception being Cuba Gooding Jr as O.J. which was a terrible casting decision) and the producers and writers on the show did an amazing job recreating mid-90's L.A.
A great all-around show and a show that should yield some much deserved Emmy nominations (and likely wins) for Ryan Murphy (director), Sarah Paulson (Clark), and Sterling K. Brown (Darden), as well as Emmy Nods for Courtney B. Vance (Cochran), John Travolta (Shapiro), Nathan Lane (Bailey), and David Schwimmer (Kardashian). To be completely honest, I thought David Schwimmer was going to be a terrible casting decision as I've pretty much hated him in everything he's done, but that couldn't be further from the truth. He did a fantastic job as Robert Kardashian and made you believe that he was truly torn between his friendship with OJ and his doubts about OJ's innocence, leading up to his great final scene as he turns his back on OJ forever at OJ's not-guilty party and started the glimpse into how even though he was found not-guilty, OJ's life began to fall apart as everything he knew and loved was tearing away from him and things would never be the same.
A great, great show.

A great, great show.
Esquire aired a 12-hour special replay of the actual trial. I didn't intend to watch much, but I ended up glued to the television for most of the second half. Johnny's closing argument was everything you'd expect it to be.
So I read somewhere that the jury foreman in this show is the same woman who played OJ's wife in Naked Guns.
Done with it. Great show. Everyone was spot-on with the laughable exception of a miscast Travolta who cannot act at all.
Very sympathetic to Marcia Clark and Chris Darden. I always had this weird inexplicable desire to bang Marcia Clark and this show only reaffirmed that strange attraction I had to her.
