Zulu Cthulhu Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 IMO it proves Tebow is awesome, while some other guy is a immature LOSER F-dropper If by awesome you mean obnoxious coddled man-child, I completely agree. I have a feeling the player used the f word because that's how grown-ups talk when under stress, trying to concentrate on an important task before them, and is interrupted by some jagoff attempting to summon divine help out loud for everyone to hear. I went to a Christian school and they did tell us about something called "silent prayer". Someone should send Tebow a memo. Maybe you, little one?

CarolinaBill Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Truth. There's nothing more annoying to people of different beliefs, or no belief at all, to constantly hear this stuff. That's why he got that response. exactly, he should respect that not everyone is of the same mentality of himself in terms of faith and tone it down a bit. There's nothing wrong with him being so strong in faith, but its not everyones cup of tea, just tone it down a bit, people will respect that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBills12 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 At least he's not fathering 10 kids with different women , being accused of rape , and running an interstate dog-fighting ring. Bingo. I bet those thugs could use some praying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonidas Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm not going to start a religious/anti-religious thread here. If you've actually read the Bible and you support murder and rape (Numbers 31.15-18, Isaiah 13. 13-19, etc.), slavery (1 Peter 2:13-15, Exodus 21:1-4, Deuteronomy 15:12-18, etc.), or the slaughter of a man's own son (Genesis 22), then we probably have very little in common anyway. Besides, it's pretty funny to me how all the 'pious' Christians come out of the woodwork to defend their myth yet show a scantily-clad woman as their avatar. Sort of goes against the message of Christ, wouldn't you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Cthulhu Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Bingo. I bet those thugs could use some praying. Who exactly are we talking about here? Was Mike Vick, Travis Henry, or Marshawn Lynch in Tebow's test group? I don't think so. Or does the fact that the player in the test group used *gasp* a naughty word and some others laughed automatically induct them into this amorphous group of "thugs" you speak of? My, my, sounds like pre-judgment to me and not a very Christian thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with people who believe in something. Sometimes I wish I did. But I can't stand preachy, holier-than-thou people, and apparently I'm not the only one.

The Dean Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 And what's wrong with saying "thanks Tim you go right ahead, we'll sit this one out?" I think that's what they did. They just chose different words. I think this story has the elements of humor. Laughing at the overtly pious has always been funny, IMO. I wonder how they would have reacted if Tim, or some other test taker suggested they sing the Flintstones song before the test was given. That would be fun, too. It would also be irrelevant. Would those who question the response to Tebow's suggestion be as adamant in their criticism if Tim, or another test-taker, said "Let's praise Satan" before the test" Or maybe if he said, "Praise Allah!" As far as I'm concerned, he can say "Yabba Dabba Do!" before the test, and it's fine with me. If he asks me and others to do it, I might take issue with his suggestion.

Leonidas Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 And what's wrong with saying "thanks Tim you go right ahead, we'll sit this one out?" Nothing. But it can be really irritating when people try to "out-religious" you in public. It's like "we get it, you love God. But do it on your own time." With Tebow they had probably had enough of his public piousness. I know I have and I haven't had to spend any time with him personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flmike Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 It has to be tough for a committed Christian in the NFL. One is expected to spread the Good News and take the lumps that come with it.

makbeer Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 He really doesn't need to ask everyone to get involved. It's no different from someone who is agnostic saying "okay guys, let's not pray before this test." Everyone is allowed to do their own damn thing.

But do it on your own time." With Tebow they had probably had enough of his public piousness. I know I have and I haven't had to spend any time with him personally. Exactly. Maybe some can take issue with the unnamed player's response to Tebow; I don't, but sure it was vulgar. But that wasn't the entrance exam to etiquette school. It was a test for football players. Players that have spent countless hours in locker rooms and playing fields. Have any of you prudes that take offense to this so-called "thug's" reply ever played a team sport and spent time in a locker room? Well, I have. A lot of time. That's how most coaches and players talk. Shocking, I know. Tebow can try (and I'm sure he will) to proselytize to his pro teammates, anoint his future hometown fans with holy oil, baptize the refs before the game with water from the Gatorade jug, whatever. I know that is part of his so-called "mission." But the chosen one better get used to the flak he'll take outside of his cloister in Gainsville. Many people don't take kindly being preached to by a 22 year old football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's defending him?? The issue that I see most people taking with this situation was the response he got. Just to clarify, I am religious but keep my beliefs to myself. Tebow should have done the same. He got a typical response from a young man who was about to take a very important test. To me, the Peanut Butter bunny is much more important than this story...

We must have different definitions of "yelling uncle". Saying "OK, I give you are right" is yelling uncle. I don't think I ever suggested I would do that. Attempting to get a group of disparate individuals to engage in your particular religious ritual is a hell of a lot close to forcing beliefs than anything I said is to saying uncle.
