metzelaars_lives Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) And for anti-religious nuts looking for an excuse to bash the other side. I don't think it's nuts to believe that I won't spend the rest of eternity in an actual, literal hot place with flames and an actual embodiment of the devil for having pre-marital sex. Or that Noah actually, literally lived to be over 800 years old and collected two of every species on his boat after making sure he had a male and female of each- including millions of species of tiny insects- before enduring 40 days of rain, which flooded the earth. I can assure you that Tebow believes both these things sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. You can call me nuts. I'm comfortable where I stand. Edited May 25, 2013 by metzelaars_lives
RuntheDamnBall Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I am not sure about the Bible, but it seems pretty reasonable to base one's opinions on those of Chuck Norris.
transient Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 And for anti-religious nuts looking for an excuse to bash the other side. While there are certainly religious overtones to this issue, and there are certainly people who take a stand on Tebow based solely on these religious overtones, his suckatude is pretty undeniable regardless of his faith. Unfortunately, due to his faith, there are those that are blind to his suckatude, and take every insult against his abilities as a personal affront to their religion, as well as those who will take a shot at Tebow for the sole purpose of taking a shot at his religious beliefs, and by extention those who share his beliefs. I am not a religious person. I am cool with live and let live. Aaron Rogers, Drew Brees, hell, even Frank Reich by all accounts are very religious people, and all are infinitely more talented than Tebow in terms of their ability to play QB in the NFL, and yet despite their religious beliefs they are no where near as polarizing. I didn't root for or against Frank Reich because he was a Christian, I rooted for him because he was a Bill. I'm sure, because of his religious beliefs, that there were people who rooted more vigorously for him than what his abilities realistically accounted for, especially because he stood in such stark contrast to Kelly as a person at that time. Admittedly, Tebow is a competitor and was a great college player and has had a few shining moments in the NFL, but the reality based on his body of work is that he is NOT the answer to any team's QB question, as evidenced by the entire league leaving him unemployed. This in a season where nearly a quarter of the teams were scrounging for QBs. Insisting that he is the answer at QB for some team at this stage of the game is not a rational argument. It may be a visceral one, an argument fueled by the last fumes of "Tebowmania," but is not a rational one.
mrags Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Chuck Norris has a pet rock its called Earth that was a good one.
transient Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

You are a damn good writer. Clearly better than most who write for a living. Kudos to you.
Ted William's frozen head Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) And for anti-religious nuts looking for an excuse to bash the other side. I am not a 'nut', and I am also not an Atheist. I DO think that people who wear/broadcast their religious beliefs like a neon sign are hypocrites. Tebow happens to be one of them. He also just happens to suck as a quarterback. That won't stop the drooling, compartmentalized in the head Christian nutcases from foaming at the mouth because they can't accept what the guy is really about on, and off of the field.

Well your first post was excellent and when I read the second one, I was blown away. You are to be lauded for your writing skills and your disclosure and condemned for plagiarizing. We'll take a few more minutes to review your case before rendering a final judgement.
indiragandhi'sthong Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) When I was nine, I saw The Chuckster in "A Force of One" and thought he was cool. That's because I was nine. Since that time, I've thought his movies, TV show and feeble attempts in the political arena were pathetic. Chuck, please fade away with a shred of dignity left or you'll wind up on a stage talking to an empty chair. IMO, he and Tebow are cut from same cloth > they are both tools.

indiragandhi'sthong Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I can play that "my experts bigger than your expert" game too. Heres one just a few weeks ago from Mike Ditka in support of Tebow.... “I think [Tebow] can play quarterback in the NFL, but whatever offense you run might have to be tweaked a bit. This kid is a talent and he proved it in college. He is an outstanding leader. Now, does he have an unusual throwing motion? Yes. But there a lot of quarterbacks that didn’t have a perfect throwing motion. Some of them turned out to be great quarterbacks because they were great leaders." http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/mike-ditka-believes-tim-tebow-nfl-quarterback-easy-141553187.html But the bottom line at the end of the day isn't about "opinions". Its about winning, something Tebow has done at every level. Joe -the-6-pack ... You use Ditka as an expert? Isn't this the same man that traded his entire draft for Ricky "up in smoke" Williams? Solid talent evaluator
alias Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Chuck Norris doesn't shave. He drives his whiskers in with a hammer and bites them off inside.
truth on hold Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 Chuck Norris has a pet rock its called Earth Bruce Lee didn't think so ...
Just in Atlanta Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Bruce Lee was a showman. Chuck Norris was a true fighter.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Bruce Lee was a showman. Chuck Norris was a true fighter. A lot of people think the reverse is true. Most of the fighters I know believe that Bruce was invincible.
mrags Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 A lot of people think the reverse is true. Most of the fighters I know believe that Bruce was invincible. Bruce was amazing. In the Bruce Lee topic. If anyone year likes martial arts movies, go rent the movie IP Man. It's about Bruce Lee's master and the fight scenes are freaking amazing.
