Atheist Group Believes Tebow ‘Full Of C**p’
CBS Denver ^ | 10 Jan 2012 | Matt Higgins

Posted on 01/11/2012 6:27:20 AM PST by Rummyfan

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has seemingly made himself the poster boy for Christianity, praying on the field after a win, putting Bible verses on his eye black during games and even starring in an anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl, but one atheist group believes he’s doing it all for personal gain.

...

Silverman states that Tebow’s repeated references to God into his post-game comments after a win is “bad for football.

“(Religion) injects the divisive force into football,” Silverman says. “Why in the world are we talking about religion when we are talking about football?”

John 15:18-25

18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’

Nope, can't have that! Perish the thought of football being competitive or divisive!

But I'm still cheering for the Pats on Saturday.

Mr. Silverman is bitter and pathetic, and he is desperate to see his name in the media. What is divisive in NFL are the thugs. dog torturers, drug users, and wife or girlfriend beaters. T. Tebow has not harmed anyone.

May be bad for football but it’s great for America!!!

My response is that Tebow thinks this guy is full of crap, but he’s too much of am gentleman to say it in public. Godless people are so unhappy. Can’t they see the connection?

Tebow probably isn't even aware of this group, and even if he is, he wouldn't waste even a millisecond thinking about them.
