Zulu Cthulhu Posted March 24, 2010 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 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
SuperBills12 Posted March 24, 2010 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.
IDBillzFan Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 the fact that it's pretty hilarious Okay. What's so hilarious about it?
HurlyBurly51 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Okay. What's so hilarious about it? Don't get your panties all twisted up.
Leonidas Posted March 24, 2010 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?
Zulu Cthulhu Posted March 24, 2010 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.

T master Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 hahaha, that's awesome. This post is about what you would expect now a days in the world as we know it .
SawchukBills Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...est-falls-flat/ hahahahahaha, I wonder what Tebows' face looked like. Not the least bit surprised...unless your name is Ray Lewis, keep your religion to yourself.
Chef Jim Posted March 24, 2010 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. He made a request for a prayer and someone told him to shut the !@#$ up? Yeah man that's fricken hilarious. Oh and BTW, I don't pray or believe in God.

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. Good to see ol' Timmy put in his place.

The Dean Posted March 24, 2010 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 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.
rpcolosi Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 i like a guy who can stand up to the criticism, not gonna lie. get him here!
MattyT Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 i like a guy who can stand up to the criticism, not gonna lie. get him here! I'll take the guy who can man-up and take a simple test w/o praying to his imaginary friend thank you.
flmike Posted March 24, 2010 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. Sure, he got an earful for doing that, but I'm sure he's heard it before. Just doing his job.

I happen to know plenty of Christians who would never attempt to force their beliefs on others
