Tebow to attend national prayer breakfast (-0 will be there .. tell it, Tim!)
Politico ^ | 2-2-10 | Ann Schroeder Mullins, Amie Parnes

Tim Tebow — the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who will appear in a pro-life ad during the Super Bowl — will attend the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, his agent tells POLITICO.

Asked if Tebow will speak at the breakfast, his agent, Susan Vanderlinde, said, “Yes, I believe he is.”

President Obama and several lawmakers plan to attend the breakfast.

Tebow, who just finished his last football season at the University of Florida, has crossed over from sports to politics and religion: He will appear in an ad paid for by the conservative Christian group, Focus on the Family, during the Super Bowl.

In the ad, Tebow is expected to tell the story about how his mother refused to have an abortion, even after doctors urged her to do so when she became sick following a mission trip to the Philippines.

Tebow — who won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 and led his team to two BCS championships — has been known to write biblical passages in his eye paint before games.

Or maybe God’s tickled his arrogance enough
that the subject not going away is really
getting to him, therefore, stoking the seething
princely anger in him.

I think it was a rather ominous comment, and
it WAS NOT scripted.

God has His plan ... we keep praying.

Well, there are those of us who increasingly don’t really question either his faith or his citizenship.

I don’t question his faith. I don’t believe he’s a Christian, other than in the sense that he did attend a “Christian” church for 20+ years and, as do many, did so for purely social or political purposes. If he’d stayed in Jakarta, and married a Muslim woman, he’d be a Muslim. He appears to have no deep, abiding faith other than to Obamaism. There was nothing in his background to instill a religious faith in him. He was fathered by an absentee Muslim, then raised temporarily by another Muslim, and later still by 2 atheists. If he had “found religion” we’d hear about it day and night. Converts or ‘born agains’ can’t help themselves, they talk about their faith openly an endlessly. (viz, George W. Bush) Obama has never done anything publicly to profess himself as a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. From what I see, he’s an Obamist. There is no god before him.

I don’t doubt his American citizenship. He is almost surely an American citizen. And I know for a fact that his mother’s family’s roots go back to the American Revolution. That doesn’t mean he’s a ‘natural born citizen,’ which is what the fuss/suits is all about. According to one interpretation of the term as phrased in the Constitution, he has admitted he is NOT ‘natural born.’ We can only hope the current SCOTUS will look at the question and resolve the original intent before too long.

Today’s rant was merely another calculated diversion. Too bad the ‘religious’ attendees thought it applause-worthy.

Oh, I'm so sorry I missed it. When the -O came on, I muted it, went about cleaning house, and didn't see it. I even listened *some* to Hillary. Thank you for the heads-up, though.
