Tebowie

I really don't understand what all the fuss is about with Tebow. Players have been thanking God and praying on the field for decades and now all of a sudden the media has decided to make a big deal out of this guy.

I honestly think that they want to set him up to fail.

I guess they succeeded then. That was the biggest whooping in playoff history.

But lets be honest here, Denver didn't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway.

Why do I threaten you so?

When did I claim you threatened me? You're not assuming I meant that, are you? Surely you wouldn't accuse somebody of doing something in the same post you do it?
Since you don't threaten me any more than a person who believes Lord of the Rings is true threatens me, I'm sure I never claimed that. Of course, people who believe in Lord of the Rings aren't trying to pass their beliefs into our government, but that isn't a threat to me.

I'm a fan of Tebow and Jesus and I still got a laugh out of it. In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, " I don't care who you are, that's funny."

Thanks haypoint, my thoughts exactly. In fact that was my comment when I posted it to facebook.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

If the guy was on TV pimping for beer or some other frivolous consumer BS nobody would bat an eye.

That he's pimping for God infuriates some. Sort of a sad commentary really.

Ironically, many religious people said the same thing about putting religious slogans on American money when that idea was suggested. People who believed in religion said putting religious slogans on money shouldn't be done because it cheapens religion.
