Thinking the unthinkable: Pat Robertson may be right

Tebow is not "sticking Christianity" in anyones face. If he chooses to pray after a touchdown that should not be a problem. You are certainly free not to watch it. How he thanks God is up to him.
The last sentence suggests that the author does not like Tebow due to anti-Christian bigotry.

I think these quotes show that Little Timmy understands nothing about his religion:

Matthew 6:1
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Matthew 6:5-8
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Luke 18:9
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’

13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’

14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Mankind is capable of so much but for some reason we just have to be believe there is some power (boogey man) greater than ourselves. The social scientists blame it insecurity and stuff like that but why o why can't we see the error of our ways? Theocracy is still responsible for the deaths of thousands still today. It makes no sense.

I guess my attitude toward Tim Tebow is thus:

✔ I suspect he was badly brainwashed as a kid by his insane parents.
✔ He doesn't appear to be a bad guy ... but my opinion might change, I once thought Ben Roethlishberger was OK.
✔ I am uncomfortable with his public displays of faith, but I also think that for better or worse, that's who he is, like it or not.
✔ His fanatics are really obnoxious
✔ I have absolutely no idea if he will ever be a legitimate NFL quarterback, but 7-2 as a starter is what it is.
✔ I guess I relate to him somewhat because of my background, which I broke free of.
✔ He's sort of fun to watch. ☺

Merry Christmas!

Living in Denver you can not go anywhere with out people talking about Tebow.
I got into a few words with a fella at work the other day because I said Tebow sucks (and he does).
I mean what planet do these people live on?
Do they watch the games?
Just because he Broncos win does not mean it is because Tebow win's it for them.

I remember Reggie White from a few years ago. He was an ordained minister when he played in the NFL. He was a devout christian and a nice guy but he never seemed to rub people wrong. With the obvious exception of most offensive linemen, of course.

Mr. White became a Hall of Famer and is one of the greatest defensive linemen of all time. He let people know of his christianity but never was obnoxious about it.

As an Atheist I am not anti christian, some of my best friends are christian. I have problems with the way the Tebow family practices their christianity. From what I have read on their website I would be more inclined to call them a cult. and con artists.

I guess I kind of prefer guys like Steve Young or Trent Dilfer who are both very devout in their own ways but you would never know it. They don't feel the need to rub people's noses in it.

Guess who was kneeling in prayer and then pointed to the Heavens in last night's football game?

Ben Roethlisberger.
