Tebow and the Left's Religious Bigotry

Speaking of God, has anyone seen the trailer for "Prometheus" yet? It's Ridley Scott's sequel to Aliens. Looks friggin' awesome...

Your claim to know what is in Tebow's heart, yeah that is a sanctimonious claim of moral high ground.



You must think my wishes were written in the same frame of mind yours were. Interesting. You should thank me. I do hope everybody in your life is well, even if you think Tebow prays for victory rather than just out of sheer joy for the wonderful gifts his god has granted to him.

Tell me, when people pray over their food (it actually tells them to in the Bible), do you think a chef who does it is praying for "victory" or "success" or is he actually thanking his god for providence?

It would be sanctimonious of me to presume to know what people pray for overe their food.

Actually, I point out what he says as opposed to what you claim to know about him.

What if they pointed up at the ceiling or the sky as they prayed? And what if they did the "discount double-check" championship belt thing.. Who do you think they were glorifying for the gifts they were granted? (he's a chef remember...)

I have a gay aunt and she is not confused at all. Look at how many different threads you've started about gay people and this is probably the first time you've mentioned them not wanting to teach your kids. That's what I mean about gay people cosuming you. You had to start a thread about Adam Lambert fighting with his boyfriend because it bothered you that much? Them fighting is going to effect who teaches your kids in school? How does that work?

This is the first thread you've seen of me mentioning gay teachers and their agenda in our govt indoctrination centers. That doesn't mean it's the first thread I've made.

Yes, your aunt is confused. I'm sure she's a good person. She's just sexually confused. Homosexuality is not normal.

Yet you claim to know that Tim Tebow is praying for his team to win and the other team to lose. How do you accomplish that? Do you have a hotline to Jesus?
 
Well, fuck it, I guess I'll just have to continue to let Tebow stand for himself, and beat back the haters with victories, yardage, etc.

Rana, I do find it somewhat odd that you want to be a sports fan, and yet fail to see that religion is all over the place in most American sports. The weak and the strong alike invoke religion all the time. For some reason, Tebow is the chosen pariah. Hell, I was picked for my first baseball team because the coach went to my Church, and selected mostly boys who attended the parish (and many of them the school). It was fun, and I got two friends out of it (his son and daughter) in the long run, who's birthdays I recently attended. We were not a team of evangelicals, so religion was rarely preached or practiced amongst the team, but it was kind of neat that most of the players already knew each other when we had our first practice.

It's a great point. Think of all the outward signs of religion just in a football game for example. When teams take the field about five minutes before kick-off they usually run out of the the tunnel. Some will run to the other end zone and kneel and pray. If someone gets hurt during the game you might see players on both sides kneeling and praying for them. After the game on the field you will often see members from both teams near midfield saying a prayer. During the game you might see any number of players pointing towards the sky after a good play. References to religion are all over the place.

They are all over the place, like I stated, in another thread, it makes me cringe, sorry.

Oh horseshit...you like to tell me what is in my mind all the time!

You and Yurtsie share the same Amazing Power to read people's minds and tell everyone what we "really" mean!

Tebow says his prayers are those of thanks. That no matter if he wins or loses he is grateful to God for all that he has;that he believes his talent is God given. I add that all believers submit to this perspective. All that we have and all that we endure in this life are from the hand of God whether good or ill. That people like frog hate public displays of faith is ridiculous in light of her being OK with public displays of anarchy- but then paths of destruction may be more to her liking?
 
Rana said:
No, I am not. I just find it arrogant to think that God cares what happens in football. I lost a very close friend just six weeks ago and all the prayers in the world did not save this good man. It is offensive to me to think that God gives strength or any type os response to a game of overpaid people.

If God gives Tebow answers to his prayers, then, I want him to go to St. Jude's hospital and prayer for all those babies who are sick and dying. I have a different view of what God is or might be and because of that you feel the need to judge me.

Very Christian of you Voltaire

You have yet to show anything that says Tebow is "praying" for anything.
More then likely, he's giving thanks.

You're so consumed by hate; that everything you don't immediately agree with, just has to have a devious agenda tied to it.

Ladies and Gentlemen...we have a winner!

It's been a long year and frankly there were many quotes considered for the title at one time or another...but here, just DAYS before the end of the year, I believe we may possibly have finally found THE STUPIDEST COMMENT POSTED ON THESE BOARDS this year.

Everybody...a round of applause for the IceDunce and her award winning stupidity!
