Another thing that drives me nuts about Tebow (and many christians) is that Jesus said, "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 men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full". -Don't go around praising God for every touchdown and every win. Be humble about your faith. I think someone should have to say, "tell me about your faith" before anyone open their mouths. Eventually, I got over the Grateful Deads annoying fan base and eventually found them to be an amazing band. Who knows, maybe the same will happen with Tebow. So, really my dislike of Tebow is less about Tebow IMO and more about the droves of idiots that know nothing about football or the man they claim as lord, but blindly worship both. But if I know , god could come down from the sky and say "Tebow is my quarterback" and he'd still root for the Pats.
That is exactly it. The whole "Tebow" phenomena was created by the media. He did not ask for all the attention and it is all the unwarranted attention that is making him such a divisive figure. I cannot care less if he is religious or not, the important thing is can he deliver the wins. If his faith is what motivates him to perform, he shouldn't be vilified for it.
He's an evangelist quarterback. He's not knocking on your door selling Jesus, he's tapping on your tv screen. I appreciate his desire to make the world a better place, I do but I can also see Jake Plummers side of things. -Just play football, it's a game... and guess what? God doesn't give a s__t who's winning and losing on the field.
I have not heard once where he preaches for people to convert to Christianity to save their souls from eternal damnation and such. And I do agree that God, if he/she exists, doesn't give a hoot about who is winning or losing a football game. There are much bigger issues in this world.
