Most of the players you people seem to idolize think of fans as idiots that they can’t wait to be rid of. Tebow spends every free minute trying to make the world a better place for other people — whether they’re fans or not. He associates that with his religion because he’s grown up in a missionary family. For all the talk about people doing horrible things in the name of religion, Tebow consistently does great things in the name of religion. And you hate him for it, anyway.

Here’s to hoping you can find some joy in your life.

Neither. I would like him to respect other people’s right to practice, or not, their religion anyway they choose and not force his religion into their face and I would like him to play his chosen sport fairly. Much like most elections, I bet if you offered “none of the above” as a choice, it would win in a landslide.

It’ll happen sooner rather than later …..

I am very private when it comes to matters of religion, so I think I’d be a little bothered if my son grew up to be as effusively evangelistic as Tebow. It sometimes comes across as insincere or contrived.

However, I’d be more bothered if my son grew up to be a bullying, shoulder-stomping, psychopath.

I vote Tebow.

It’s wonderful about Tebow’s mother, and the story of the abortion, and their missionary work, and the great person Tebow is. There are some good aspects to organized religion – the selflessness. But, whatever the religion, the fanaticism is at fault, and Plummer is 100% right – keep it to yourself, religion is meant to be a personal thing.

Imagine a top-tier QB was a practicing Satanist, and wanted to praise Beelzebub in post-game interviews. He’d be told to shut up by political forces in the NFL and above it. Imagine a Muslim was a top-tier QB and wanted to praise Allah after a TD by getting on all fours to Mecca, let alone on week 1 the 9/11 remembrance day.

There are a number of Muslims who play(ed) NFL and they’ve never been vocal/public like Tebow and others. I would guess they’d been told not to.

What the NFL needs is a franchise QB who is a Satanist, one who is a Muslim, one who is a Scientologist, one who is an Atheist, one who is a Buddhist, and all of them as rabid as Tebow/etc in their pre and post-game praising and on-field celebration theatrics….then all this would be put into proper perspective of how inappropriate it is.

Maybe then we can start to really talk about why people who aren’t bible-thumping born-again fundamentalist christian evangelists don’t care for the way Tebow carries himself.

So, what’s the complaint about what Brennaman said? Don’t get me wrong, I’m atheist and thinks Tebow’s beliefs are laughable and divisive, not to mention is couldn’t be the backup on most NFL teams. But I respect Brennaman and can’t figure out what he said that is untrue or over the top.

Thom has had better days.
