One Team Crosses Figurative Line More Often Than Other: Hypster/Sports Cynic/Wahhabi Atheist Worldviews Challenged
By Mitch Berg
Tim Tebow beats the Steelers,credits God, moves on:
“When I saw him scoring, first of all, I just thought, `Thank you, Lord,”‘ Tebow said. “Then, I was running pretty fast, chasing him — Like I can catch up to D.T! Then I just jumped into the stands, first time I’ve done that. That was fun. Then, got on a knee and thanked the Lord again and tried to celebrate with my teammates and the fans.”
Behind Tebow’s 316 yards passing, the Broncos (9-8) are heading to New England for a second-round game against the top-seeded Patriots on Saturday night.
And let the caterwauling begin.

My friend Gino, who is a blogger out in California, asked the following question on his blog:
Just curious… would a proper feminist be upset that Tebow won, or happy that Roethlisberger lost?
Must have been a moral dilemma watching that game.
Heh.

Tim better put in a lot of knee time. He’s gonna need it to beat the Pats.

I wonder what Bill Maher had to tweet about this time?

, I just thought, “Thank you, Lord”
I’ve always wondered, just who are atheists thanking at Thanksgiving? Darwin? Einstein? Newton?

As some noted elsewhere – 316 yards. Rainbow Wig Man/Dude sign: John 3:16. Coincedence? Hmm. Irony meter going off? Only if you are stupid.

Tweet from Iowahawk: “Tim Tebow has the miraculous power to cause assholes to self-identify.”

LOL. Iowahawk, funniest site I know.

Honestly, I just don’t think that The Lord is all that interested in the outcome of football games, but I see no harm in Tebow’s belief that He is.

Well, me either – although I can barely be bothered to care about anyone but the Bears (and the NDSU Bison) myself, which may skew my point of view.
And nearest I’ve seen (and I admit I’m not a dispositive source) I don’t think Tebow believes He supports the Broncos; merely that He gets credit for anything Tebow brings to the game. Someone stop me if I’m wrong.
