Ah see, there’s the thing. Kurt Warner was also a very big Christian, but he didn’t, how do I put this, flaunt it. I would say he was a better, more mature Christian than TT, but then the latter is young too. He’ll probably have matured by his 30s as well.
I know a lot of people want to admire Tebow for his beliefs, but Jesus did say not to trust those who feel the need to pray in public. I have no doubt he’s sincere about his religion, but I think one’s beliefs are a private, personal matter and if I were him, I would not do as he does.
If you don’t want to draw out the atheists and other pests, you avoid doing things that provoke them. God’s everywhere; he can hear you all the same whether you’re praying on a football field or in the middle of a forest.
To be fair, remember Kurt Warner did not become a Christian until he met his wife. Mr. Tebow was raised in a family that were missionaries in a foreign land, at least for awhile. So his parents were Christian. He experienced Christianity in a much different way. I do not know how Mr. Warner grew up.
Sounds like spiritual cowardice to me.
