Interesting. I always think it's a hoot when people try to answer for other people. Why would someone hate Tim Tebow or a kid like him? Doesn't make sense. The kid stands for everything that's good about football and life. To hate him would be a total waster of emotion.
It does make sense, if you have an open mind in terms of legitimately considering another perspective outside of the one you rigidly subscribe to. Some people find proselytizers like Tebow to be roadblocks in the path of human philosophical evolution. Some people find their righteous judgmental mentalities to be an affront to all they stand for (i.e. believe what I believe or you will literally suffer for all eternity.) I could go on a huge long diatribe about how stagnant religiously mired mindsets have resulted in untold numbers of deaths in the form of crusades or been utilized as a justifying salve for the conscience as widespread genocide takes place (manifest destiny) or how, through greed and in an interest of keeping church property in the church's ownership, religious leaders paved the way for an untold number of children to be sexually assaulted, but frankly I'm already bored with this conversation. The funny thing is, you don't even see the other side of the argument. Your coin has one face, your perception one narrow tunnel of light through which a limited number of ideas may be illuminated for your appraisal.
I'm not going to continue this conversation here. It's not the appropriate venue, and I've been guilty of having this conversation in the wrong place before. Feel free to PM me, or start a Tebow Christianity thread in the politics and religion forum if you feel the need to respond.
1. Tim Tebow has never said you were going to hell and suffer if you don't believe what he does.
2. Tebow blew through his $2.5 million signing bonus on various worldwide charity organizations focusing on famine, education and home-building in 24 hours last year.
If you don't like Christianity that's fine you don't have to, but to say he isn't a GREAT kid that helps people and doesn't just talk about it but goes out and walks his talks --your a fool.
