BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Ray Lewis is a creep. Wonderful insight. May I quote you ? Edited January 22, 2013 by MOVALLEYRANDY
metzelaars_lives Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 so because I made a mistake in one area means everything else is wrong, that's not logical. Every idea is stands own its own merits, not whether or not you like some one, or disagree with them on something else. You made a mistake about football players, but you are certain as to how the Earth was created and to what extent God played a role? Let me make something abundantly clear: if you believe that there is a 100% chance that God exists, much the same way you are certain Wegmans exists, YOU ARE INSANE. If you believe that there is between a 1 and 99% chance that God exists but what would like to believe he exists because it helps you sleep at night, then that is a rational thought. Either way, you, me, Ray Lewis, Tim Tebow, priests, rabbis- none of us know anything more about anything related to this subject than any man that has ever walked the face of the earth. There is only one logical answer when asked about this subject and that is: I DON'T KNOW. But I do know that trading Mario Williams for John Skelton would have proved to be an enormous blunder.
Prickly Pete Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Wonderful insight. May I quote you ? Sure. There is no other insight needed.
BBeck/cuba Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Tebow = great person, good football player, Bad QB Ray Ray = Great football palyer, good man, bad young man I am a Christian and my faith is very important to me. I dont like Tebow but its more because of how the media overhyped him. There are a lot of NFL players who are strong in their faith and do amazing charity work and have accomplished much more on the field. I dont see those guys getting this kinda play. As far as the Bible goes, it is a redemtion story. Ray's sins of the past are forgiven by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The one lost sheep is of more worth than the 99 who never strayed. I belive Ray Lewis' life has spoken for itself since he got in trouble. Also Tebow's year in exile on the bench in New Jersey will do him well.

dwight in philly Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 One is a murderer, the other does charity. Guess who the media portrays in a better perspective
BobChalmers Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Ray Lewis does it, Ok Tebow does it, Bad You mocking the media or being serious? Lewis' words on the field seemed to go way beyond what I'd heard Tebow say/do. Tebow seems pretty focused on his own thankfulness for his own opportunities win or lose. Lewis was implying God was on the side of the Ravens winning the game. I'm not terribly offended by any of it, but Lewis' seemed pretty clear that God was helping his team win ball games and I find that presumptious at best. I suspect there are plenty of good prayers being said in most locker rooms - and most post-game kneel-downs prove that out. To take the attitude that your team is more favored is kind of obnoxious.
major Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I don't mind Ray Lewis or Tim Tebow being bold about their faith. I'm a firm believer that if you're passionate about something, you'll talk about it. People see a good movie and tell their friends about it; therefore, I don't mind either athlete talking about their love for God. Good for them.
BillsBytheBay Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) One is a murderer, the other does charity. Guess who the media portrays in a better perspective wait, Tebow committed murder, or ray-ray doesn't do charity work? Witch is it? I know ray went to jail for not talking... And he does charity work... So ....Tebow killed a guy? This is more of that Christian forgiveness, and don't judge others judging. Both men, I'm sure, are very serious with there relationships with god. I I would never pick who pulls it off better. That's so stupid. Crap, I just realized this is a thread about how we perceive others during emotional religious moments.... And we have to pick one? Edited January 22, 2013 by JaxBills
BillsBytheBay Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 New question, who are we the most okay with praying on a football field?

There is only one logical answer when asked about this subject and that is: I DON'T KNOW. But I do know that trading Mario Williams for John Skelton would have proved to be an enormous blunder. Oh my! Ba--BOOM! But the difference between the two is that Tebow has devoted nearly his entire adult life to this point to living the life he describes, through missions, etc. I really believe his faith is natural and authentic. Lewis, since he was busted in connection with a fight in which 2 men were murdered by his friends (and which he attempted at first to cover up), has been in totally over the top and in everyone's face with his "found" religion--as if to convince everyone he's not the a**hole por athlete he seemed to be back then. Maybe he's lobbying St. Peter.........
Gugny Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 These are just my feelings. I have no evidence of anything being factual. They're feelings and I'm not implying that I'm right or wrong: I think Ray Lewis is a murderer. I think Ray Lewis' faith is genuine and sincere. I think Ray Lewis' display at the end of the game was real and unplanned. I think Ray Lewis is the posterboy (boy is not being used as a racial slur, so relax) for "teammate." I think Tim Tebow is a fake. I think Tim Tebow uses the camera to spread his gospel the same way a televangalist does .. just with less words. I don't think Tim Tebow cares about anyone or anything but himself, his family and his personal achievements. I don't think Tim Tebow cares about winning football games. I think every single thing Tim Tebow does when the camera is on him is planned and he waits to do nearly everything until he knows the camera is on him. Those are just my thoughts. And I'm glad neither is a Bill and I pray to MY God that neither ever is.
apuszczalowski Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Tebow = great person, good football player, Bad QB Ray Ray = Great football palyer, good man, bad young man I am a Christian and my faith is very important to me.

Be a great athlete and play your game at a high level and all is forgiven Don't play your game to the crazy potential the media and fans put on you and you will be cricified in the media for your actions/beliefs
Buftex Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I am not taking sides on this issue, and I am no holy-roller...but honeslty, other than sucking, and having way too much coverage from ESPN, what has Tim Tebow done to make people hate him so much? He is hardly the first athlete to be "super-christy",and honeslty, other than media people railing on and on about it, I have seen/heard little from him on the subject, unless asked. I mean, most people loved Kurt Warner, right? He was far more verbally "super-christy" than Tebow, from what I have seen. Believe me, I am sure as **** glad the Bills never got involved in the Tim Tebow circus, but I have a real hard time dis-liking the guy. Even this season, when he was treated like absolute crap by his coaching staff, he kept a stiff upper-lip and never complained in public...in this day and age, that is to be commended...look at that punk Dwight Howard in LA. ****, I just read Figs' comments... I got nothing against Ray Lewis either (as far as the religious stuff goes), but do you really think his displays are any less contrived than Tebows'? I thought he was rediculous this past Sunday..he did a lot of crying, but I didn't see any tears. But that doesn't make me root against him. Edited January 22, 2013 by Buftex

I wasted my time going through all the links only to be brought to a page which predicated the entire argument on the following completely and unsubstantiated statement. "Universal, immaterial, unchanging laws cannot be accounted for if the universe was random or only material in nature." Now i know that I was the idiot that took the bait and decided to click through that nonsense (it was that or going back to work), but come on!!

I think the only contrived Ray Lewis actions are that idiotic dance thing he does at the beginning of games. And I don't hate Tim Tebow. I just don't buy his schtick. It's why I prefaced my opinions with what I did. It's just my personal belief that Tebow is a huge phony.

Maybe you are right...maybe I just tune out the Tebow thing, cuz I get so sick of hearing the name...I didn't really see a lot of him in college...but in the pros, I don't really think I ever heard him utter a christy word...maybe that Super Bowl commercial he did prior to the draft. It just seems like people dig for reasons to dislike him.
