To say that Tebow pushes religion on others because he allegedly suggested everyone say a prayer before taking the Wonderlic test (which apparently was some major deal, yet it's not when the coach or a player gathers everyone together in the locker room for a pre-game prayer) is like saying Kedric Golston pushes alcoholism if he suggests everyone go out for a drink after the game.

Well.....you are correct, no big deal.....except T said it? I can't figure out why people love to hate on the guy. He seems to be the real deal. A good guy who literally practices what he preaches. AND I am sure a zillion media types have been digging for...ANY dirt on him for years. Find any?
Maybe a T hater can...enlighten me on that issue?

Super Bowl ads? Their job is to spread the word of Jesus and they do so and to find more followers. Plain and simple.

Their Super Bowl ad never even mentions the word "God" or "abortion" actually. Sure it was supporting a pro-life Christian group called Focus on the Family, but it definitely wasn't pushing beliefs, it was just his mother sharing her story of her tough pregnancy with Tim. I'm actually pro-choice (with strings attached), but I had no problem with this ad.
I don't get the haters. I just don't. I guess people will find a reason to hate anything. We all talk so much smack about all the criminals and scumbags throughout pro sports. So here's a kid who just gets it, and people still want to bash.

Maybe not so much Tebow but he is with them. I will admit I am a bit jaded and that I work with a ton of them and by the 50th invite of the day to their church it gets a bit old.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the whole church of God come worship with us invites (I knew a few of them down in Florida, not as much up here), but there are far worse people in this world.

Agreed! What they are doing in my office actually could get them in hot water but I just politely say no, I don't run to HR and say someone is trying to push religion on me in the work place.

Just go take a drive by the McLean Bible Church.
If you are missing your invites back in FL.

I think that Tebow has been hyped and publicized so much that there is a kind of backlash. That is not his fault, of course, but some folks get tired of the hype.
