Like the way they used to tell gays to stay in the closet?
Why is be out and proud OK for homosexuals but not Christians?
BTW, I totally support homosexuals being allowed to be up front about their sexuality.
A Rabbi posted a anti-Tebow rant, expecting that Christians will be so happy when Tebow wins in the playoffs that they will burn down mosques. Pretty outrageous assumption! Luckily he did retract it later.
Just a little correction. The Rabbi did not retract his article in any statements I can find. The website that hosted the story simply took it down... no explanation. Here is a link to the story on Hot Air... but like I say, you can't find the original story anymore.
Rabbi Aaron Rodgers
If Tebow wins the Super Bowl, against all odds, it will buoy his faithful, and emboldened faithful can do insane things, like burning mosques, bashing gays and indiscriminately banishing immigrants. While America has become more inclusive since Jerry Falwell’s first political forays, a Tebow triumph could set those efforts back considerably.

This is even more ludicrous, at least from my persecutive. All I can say is that people who come up with such off the wall stuff are the ones who actually do things like what they are ready to accuse others of doing.
According to the criminal complaint, Hurd, 26, met with an undercover agent at Morton’s restaurant in Rosemont, Ill., and told the agent that he was interested in buying five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana weekly to distribute across the Chicago area.

Early April Fools joke? Aaron Rodgers is the QB of the Green Bay Packers but I don't think he is a rabbi or even Jewish.
Sorry... the use of the name Aaron Rodgers was evidently sarcasm at Hot Air article that I didn't even catch... I'm not a sports fan in any way. But the actual name of the author of the now missing article is Rabbi Joshua Hammerman. And you can find another references to the story at...
I don't chime in on these rants often but here is what gets me. Tim Tebow has taken the Christian faith and his beliefs and turned them into a marketing event. That is what bothers me. I am all for freedom of speech and his right to pray but if you go to the games, which I do, and watch he waits until the camera men/women are ready and paying attention to him before he prays. That is just BS as far as I am concerned. It surprises me that more Christians aren't taking offense...I guess they like the marketing....not sure.

Great Point. Let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing? Be not like the hypocrites IIRC?
But I am not supposed to judge others either, it gets so confusing sometimes.

Tebow has not turned his Christian faith into a marketing event THE MEDIA HAS.
Do you really think in the middle of a close game that he is watching for camera men and the monitors to see if they are focusing on him? No, I think instead the producers have instructed one of their crew on the Bronco's sidelines to keep close tabs on Tebow's location during the game and that is why we see so much of him. This is the media feeding the public interest, not the other way around.

Knowing the media... they are feeding the public outrage on purpose... it's politics as usual with the leftist media. This is their way of fueling the controversy, one that they started themselves. And it works... see how HVGAL has taken the bait and acting like a useful idiot for the media.

Exactly. IT might be advisable for those who are ready to condemn Tebow, to actually learn a little about the individual to whom a plethora actions are attributed even though he has nothing to do with them. But that is too much to ask. It's much simpler to spout off on what is reported because religion makes good controversial press.
@ hvgal Since you accuse Tebow of turning his faith into a marketing event, perhaps you have some proof for your assertion?
