The ‘controversy’ surrounding Tim Tebow is really just a bunch of non-religious folks feeling uncomfortable with an outstanding pro football player that is a sincere, unapologetic Christian. Tebow doesn’t claim ‘divine intervention’ in his football games, win or lose, he simply gives his creator the credit for the body and skills he possesses. Why is that so scary for the non-religious? Probably because it gets them to thinking that if there is a God, they may be answerable to Him for their actions in life and that would be unacceptable to many. Sports writers repetitive attempts to mock and marginalize Tebow for his public displays of reverence to God are getting ridiculous. The guy has his attributes and his flaws. Big deal. Let’s cut the ‘controversy’ nonsense and just enjoy the games.

And, like I’ve posted in other threads, Tebow thanked his mom for not aborting him at the banquet when he got the Heisman trophy. Now, THAT is heresy to a liberal!

I think the vitriol against Tim Tebow is more than a bunch of secular sports writers and such.
For over 80 years the so called Liberal Social Progressives have moved Heaven and Earth to push this society to a Secular one trying to drive out all references to God.
While a certain amount of Non Secular things are tolerated, even some athletes showing their respect for God. Tebow is a high profile athlete that somehow threatens the Secular status quo and therefore must be denigrated at all costs. A juicy scandal involving this kid would be made to order.
I can only hope this young man can keep on the straight and narrow to avoid any pitfalls along the way.
People, I think, are responding to Tebow in a positive manner and he represents something that we need in this country.
