I'll take the guy who can man-up and take a simple test w/o praying to his imaginary friend thank you.

Geez, here we go again.

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.

I'll be praying for you... :thumbsup:

 

I'll put in a good word with the Easter Bunny for you!

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.

 

Why? 'Cause the Bible says to? I hope he's prepared to rape, murder, and enslave as well...

I've never seen Peanut Butter filled Chocolate bunnies. Where would one go about getting those? I can't even find the chocolate-creme filled cadbury eggs anymore :thumbsup:

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.

 

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.

Not the least bit surprised...unless your name is Ray Lewis, keep your religion to yourself.

 

Everyone who is defending tebow on this...what if he was a different religion and asked to say a prayer... i bet you wouldnt be supporting him now...just a thought...

Is a commuted Christian required to proselytize?

 

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

 

Asking a group of guys to pray is forcing his beliefs? Boy it sure doesn't take much twisting of your arm before you yell uncle.

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...

Really? Come on...

 

How many times do you need to make this ridiculous statement in this thread? I understood that you had no clue the first time you made it. You didn't need to repeat it again and again.

What makes you think my panties are all twisted up?

 

You keep asking him the same question, when he's already answered it. You don't find it hilarious. We get it. No go straighten out those panties.

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.

Prayer would bore me but if it made someone else feel better it is absolutely no pain in the ass for me to daydream for a few minutes while they get right with their "whatever".

 

My ego could handle it.
