And what will Tim say when he fails in a game? Will he blame God?

Tim, I like you. But I do not believe that God opposed the Dolphins, which is the back side of your claim.

Oh my. Is FR getting a little too sensitive lately or what? I will preface my next remark with THIS IS NOT A RACIST REMARK, but black athletes THANK GOD as the answer to almost every interviewer's first question. Is it now a problem that a white athlete thanks God? Not understanding why this is even article worthy.

He thanked God of the ability. Not for defeating the evil dolphins. Tebow would be the first one to tell you that God does not care who wins and loses games. He just gives thanks to God for the ability to play.

Hey all I can say is I prayed for Tim and his fellow team mates for health, mental clarity and drive. God gave them the ability to win and they did! If they had lost, so be it but they didn’t so Thank You Jesus!

“Tim, I like you. But I do not believe that God opposed the Dolphins, which is the back side of your claim.”

You don’t understand, and rather than project the reason for your shortfall in understanding, I’ll explain.

When we pray in the context of athletics, it’s with the understanding that God doesn’t pick a side. So, we pray for God to keep everyone safe, and to allow us to play to the best of our ability. Nothing more, nothing less.

Both the Cardinals and the Rangers have several outspoken Christians on their teams; God isn't picking or choosing.

I am, go Cardinals!

Eh, I think it’s appropriate for Tebow to thank God that He gave him the talent, ability and opportunity to do what he did. It’s not like anybody’s saying God had $50 riding on the Broncos against the spread or anything so He made the Dolphins screw up (they don’t need His help for that this season!).

God may be rooting for TB regardless of what team he happens to plays for. Some people root for the player and are indifferent to the team.

Thanking Divinity for wins in sporting events always made me cringe, yeah, God had 3:1 on the Broncos so he gave Mr. Tebow some juice.

I wonder what God’s fantasy league looks like?

Hmmmmmm I dont recall Tim saying anything like that. He just expressed his gratitude for a victory. You are reading into what he said and inferring the opposite meaning. Perhaps you really don't like him???
