Oh you only hate him because he thinks God looks out for him and his success? Isn't that still a belief? Isn't that still faith? Doesn't everyone who believes in God thinks that he looks out for them? If not, why the hell do they pray to him? So he prays after he scores...at least he takes it more seriously than a point to the sky. At least he actually seems to live out his beliefs while other guys thank God, give God credit when they win and then go to a strip club to celebrate. I mean seriously...it comes down to the fact that you hate that he openly displays his religion. Ndomikong Suh said that the only people's perception of him that he cares about is his mom's and "the man upstairs." Why isn't their so much hate toward him? He obviously thinks his "Jesus" pays specific attention to him and how he acts on the football field...
The hypocrisy here is staggering. You have a guy that is the most outspoken serious public religious figure since the pope and you hate him because he openly states and displays his beliefs, yet your family thanking God at the dinner table is fine, Suh saying that God knows what he really did is fine, and every other player and their grandma throwing up props to God after every good play doesn't matter. If anything, Tebow is the most legit person here. Not only does he stand by what he says and does, but he seems to live the things he believes without throwing scorn or judgement onto the people berating him every week. Suh just stomped a guy as he lay on the ground and then went on to lie about it, saying that "only him and the man upstairs know what really happened." How is Tebow giving thanks after success worse than Suh claiming God agrees that his "stomping" was A-OK?
Im not a Tebow fan. I'm not even sure what I believe anymore. Haven't watched a single entire game he's ever played, haven't been to church in around four years...but be real people. You hate him because he is open, steadfast, and honest with his beliefs. Who cares if he thinks God helped him in his life to get where he is...Do you think God really put your thanksgiving meal on the table? Do you hate your Grandma if she thanks God for safely bringing the family together? For getting you a good Turkey? I mean there are 6.8 billion people on the planet, you think he gives 2 shits about your middle-class american families' thanksgiving dinner?
If you are going to hate a guy because he is not a good QB that's one thing. But if you are going to hate him because of what he believes then that's just sad, pathetic, bigoted and an internet meme does nothing to help your cause. Go ahead and mock him...but just as your meme says God doesnt care about his TDs, I'm sure Tebow cares just as little about what you think about his faith. And through all this, he still is the one who refrains from mocking you, criticizing you or your faith, or forcing his beliefs upon you...who's the better person here?
