God can see/hear us praying no matter what pose we take. Therefore, the bended knee routine is gilding the lily.
Tebow may very well practice what he preaches, walk the walk, etc. but his nonstop injection of subject A into subject B when the two are not directly related means it was inevitable that he would be be a target for mockery.
Let the red mist dissipate and understand that they are not mocking his faith or God or religion in general, simply that this NFL newbie has been getting an inordinate amount of attention for things that mostly occur off the football field. Win first, preach second, if you like.
Considering the punishing physical abuse that a Tarkenton, Anderson, Bradshaw, Layne, Baugh, Starr, etc. must have taken, a few digs at one’s look-at-me antics is actually getting off light.
wasn’t it Mendenhall who openly sided with Al Qaeda? How about mocking him?
Or was thast Manningham?
I get them confused
That said, I would expect the NFL to issue fines in the $50-75K range if his name was Abdul Allah Tebow.
Exactly. Jesus had some not so good things to say about those who practice public piety. I’m glad Tebow walks with Christ. I just wish he wasn’t such an exhibitionist about it.
