Tim Tebow’s devotion to his religious beliefs is nothing new, but you’d never know it based on what the media is doing to him.
At HuffPo:
Drudge:
Love him. Doubt him. Praise him. Ridicule him. Gape in awe. As the last two months have shown, there are 300 million opinions of the Broncos’ quarterback, and every one of them is right
SNL mocks him for his religious devotion.
And of course there is the incomparably disgusting and idiotic Bill Maher:
A “Tebowing.com” site has been created. The cynic in me has doubts about its intentions, especially based on Jared Kleinstein’s own words:
After the dramatic win, Denver native Jared Kleinstein and several friends snapped a picture of themselves in the same pose that Tebow took after the game. They dubbed the action “Tebowing” and posted their picture on Facebook. After the pic generated an unexpected number of likes and comments, the 24-year-old Kleinstein launching a website dedicated to Tebowing.
The site sells Tebow gear which allegedly supports local charities. I have an email to the site asking exactly how much of their sales actually goes to charity.
One might to be tempted to think Tebow’s acts are unique, but they are not.
Albert Pujols
Cris Carter
Bobby Bonds
Watch carefully during the baseball season and see how many players cross themselves as they come to bat. See how many point skyward after something positive. Watch during a football game and see how many players take a knee after a score.
Tebow speaks openly about his religion, but he does not proselytize. So why is he such a target for liberals?
It is because he is white and Christian. There’s no way Maher or any of the other twits critical of Tebow would cast insults if Tebow was Muslim.
Tim Tebow created a charity foundation that works in part to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses. He spent his signing bonus on charity donations. He spends the off-season doing charity work in the Philippines. You can get a sense of his other efforts here.
Bill Maher, on the other hand, has spent his time boosting his net worth to $23 million. His good works know no limits. Maher has donated an item for auction to benefit “Save the Chimps.”
Tebow is not to be derided- he is to be admired. By all accounts he is a great person.
So they all ought to get off his back- especially Maher. Maher is a perfect example of what’s wrong with the liberal culture. He’s pompously vulgar and disrespectful while spitting all over the likes of Tim Tebow and all that’s right with America.
Hitchens was right:

Maher fans are morons.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.

I just read the PLANET of CARLIN, and he is hilarious in voice, manners and eyes
all combined, it take a genius to harmonize all with memory,
I planned to read other later too. like the one you described,
you made it look like it was your own,
sorry about that
@ilovebeeswarzone: yes…that why i said he was “brilliant”. i never said his thoughts were my own.
he was a great entertainer who took jabs at both sides.
Usually when someone is quoted here at FA, we use the b-quote button.
It is a pretty easy concept to grasp for those of us who aren’t toking up or under the influence of certain substances…
@anticsrocks: i thought it was pretty obvious since i used “quotation marks”.
i’m sorry, anti…i didn’t get the memo.
@anticsrocks:thanks to my STATE’S right, i am committing no crime. i am self-sufficient and neither support or enable any “drug cartels” as you have previously accused.
in addition…migraines (both cranial and gastric) run in my family. it helps me.
anticsrocks
hi, I never used that, but I’m glad you said it,
where does that bye come from?
it must be one of the buttons I push
@C Andrew Scott: You said:
Where did I say such a thing?
Please link my comment.
If you need help in doing that too, I am glad to offer assistance. 🙂
@anticsrocks: my apologies, anti…it was gary kukis who made the comment.
@C Andrew Scott: Apology accepted CAS.
anticsrocks
heighten to go after mine, is TEBOW playing tonight?
hope Wordsmith bring us a video.
bye
@ilovebeeswarzone: he IS playing, but i doubt you want to see the video.
New England is up 35-7. Tom Brady has thrown 5 1st half TDs, 3 of them to TE Rob Gronkowski.
Tebow is 3-of-10, for 28 yards.
it’s gonna take a “miracle”.
C Andrew Scott
thank you, what can we say, I don’t know the game, but maybe they don’t have enough time to reload, between those games, seems there is to much demand on them. are they pushing them to destruct so they can follow their agenda to do it in their own time, instead of figuring on the sides of the one sweating in there
bye
anticsrocks
we need 8 each if we are only 2 to win, so I am doing the 1/8 right now hopfully some will get here but the thread now is s long, it is slower, that will reduce their wish to come,

bye
anticsrocks
are you coming? we have to feed this thread , I cannot do it alone, my computer is slow

bye
anticsrocks
I found a good quote for TEBOW, from the bible; ISAIAH 41;10 CEV.
don’t be afraid, I am with you, don’t tremble with fear, I am your GOD,
I will make you strong as I protect you with my arm,
and give you VICTORIES,
is in it appropriate to TEBOW last game, his feeling after the game,
bye
Wordsmith
hi,
I wonder how TEBOW’s multifidus are, if we see that word on a piece of paper, we think
it’s from an arachnoid family, and 99% of people don’t know the name of the most important group of muscle in the body, it can move each joint individualy, it run along the spine beneat the erector spinae,
and the trapezius, and the latissimus dorsi, it’s called the deep muscle. and it’s role is to provide stability,
he the multifidus is more active when one is standing, moving side way bending lifting twisting,
this muscle oppose movement , not like the other muscle who need movement.
a stable spine and core prevent injuries of the lower back, excessive movement of the spine lead to
disk and facets issues, causing low back problem, EXERCISE TO STRENGTEN THE MULTIFIDUS IS
CALL THE BIRD DOG EXERCISE, CHECK ON SEARCH GOOGLE, TO FIND
BYE, I thought that was a good find,
12 more for the 700, help needed
I am here, Beezy.
Gonna kinda sneak up on this one.
Huntsman dropped out of the race today, did you hear?
anticsrocks
hi
I heard it on a comment somewhere,
nice of you to come, how is your MULTIFIDUS?
BYE
10 more
Dr John
hi,
I think this is the last one, we will get,do you think TEBOW HAD A TIRED MULTIFIDUS,
THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF HIS LOST WITH THE PATRIOTS?
9 TO GO
BYE
anticsrocks
8 to go,
slow but sure, we’re not running like TEBOW.
I’m keeping up with the POST, for the end of it,
I’m guilty of running away from it for a while before. don’t forget to come back,
we have to step on it a bit more.you will be at 7 when you come back, meaning only 6 to go
bye
anticsrocks
are we abandoning the ship?
without saving all the numbers left
those are down to 7 now
I cannot save them alone
I will quit the job, at 700
unless TEBOW WANT MORE TRAINING
bye
Hey, Bees,
Here’s an article about how Tim Tebow visits with and invites someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured to a Broncos game.
Two of the visits are detailed.
You might cry.
Very sweet.
Like honey.
Go, 700!
many other players around the league do similar things, Nan…and the majority of them don’t need or want the publicity.
here’s another standup NFL player, Scott Fujita (New Orleans Saints), who gave away half of his Super Bowl paycheck to to relief efforts in Haiti and coastal restoration in New Orleans
here’s a list of some other charitable efforts this “good samaritan” is involved in.
Nan G

oh my 92 to come
@Liberal1 (objectivity): This atheist person says that more and more americans are less into organize religions and takes credit for the findings of the study he quoted. Is he trying to proselyte people into his way of thinking. What exactly do you give hope for. You claim not to believe in nothing so what can you give to hope in. False hope is better than no hope at all. My hope is not false but since you believe my hope is false I am still better off than you. Hope gives us a chance to go beyond our circumstances and believe something is so much better waiting ahead. You on the other hand say that your life on earth is all you got so go and make the best of it. Because there is so much tragedy in people lives what can you tell them? You think that people run their own lives and make there own destiny, but you are so mis-informed. You are not even guaranteed your next breath. Who knows you may have already died. What if you live maybe 100 years. What is 100 years in comparison to eternal life. The same accusation that you probably say about Christian is they think they are superior, but we claim that we are sinners who need a Savior. You say that you don’t need anybody to help you. Survival of the fittest is your motto, and so you rely on your own goodness, your own strength to pull you through desperate situations. Evolution is a joke. Those who have claimed this is their religion have that superiority attitude. They are the wise who can spout off all sorts of scientific
evidence, but the interesting thing is they miss the obvious things that are right in front of there faces. Just look at your hands. They were created and have a purpose that do amazing things. Write back.
@boldaboutGod: That is just about the best defense of faith that I have ever read. Thank you very much!
wow. i love when those who are “religious” claim to have some sort of “divine” intelligence. THAT in itself is vanity. i digress. ignorance is what it is…and blind faith is its very, very close cousin.
C Andrew Scott
too bad you come back as the spoiler of a good comment, specially on
this long POST,
is in there anything nice you can find to say to someone who come with claiming he is religious,
does IT SCARE YOU TO HAVE AN ADVICE GIVEN BY A RELIGIOUS PERSON?
AMERICA WAS FOUNDED WITH GOD WISDOM WHICH HELP THE FOUNDERS WRITE THE CONSTITUTION WHICH SURVIVED CENTURIES, AND THOSE YOU SUPPORT WANT TO TEAR THIS PRECIOUS LAW WHO SURVIVED TILL NOW, YES LOOK AT YOUR HANDS YOU USE THEM TO TYPE NEGATIVES
AND CREATING A BAD FEELING TO THE ONE COMING WITH A GIFT OF GOOD FEELING AND GOOD ADVICE, YOU SHOW THAT YOU ARE SO FULL OF YOURSELF, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR YOUR SOUL
again, Bee…your attempts to re-write American history is entertaining, but quite skewed. OUR Founding Fathers (let me know when you’ve emigrated to American and can claim it as YOURS) did not create our nation for Christians alone. READ the First Amendment and understand that YOURS is not the ONLY faith.
people like you, who “believe” that the rest of “need” a savior, fail to understand that when you preach and push your religious nonsense…it violates MY rights to worship (or not worship) however I feel is necessary. it does not “scare” be to receive religious advice. does it “scare” you to entertain the concept that you are wrong? i believe so.
let’s hope for Tim Tebow, and you…along with all of his other “faithful” supporters…that Peyton Manning chooses San Francisco over Denver. i’d hate to see what you would do if he wasn’t in the spot light every day promoting your form of “love”.
C Andrew Scott
again you twist the words and establish a defensive attitude,
you have a problem of understanding positive words,and you turn it into negative thoughts and respond
as if you have to fight with GOD, WHY SO. DID YOU HAVE A TRAUMA IN YOUR LIFE TO
TURN YOU INTO IT, WHAT CREATOR do you accept? or do you think you came into EARTH
AS A FUNGUS FIRST?
And if you do. who do you think create the fungus
i’m not twisting your words, Bee. YOU wrote them. their YOURS.
i do not have a problem with “positive” words. i think YOU have a problem with
MY leaders aren’t the ones scrambling to take away the FREEDOMS of individuals and the RIGHTS of AMERICANS (again, Bee…let me know when you get that dual-citizenship). the Religious Right (with their “infinite” knowledge) have been struggling to indoctrinate MY country with THEIR dogma, which completely violates the First Amendment. i love when people like you try to deflect and project.
and no…i do NOT believe in “god” and have no need to. if you have a problem with that, i am sorry…for you. i’m also sorry i bothered coming back to this forum at all. for all the “love” and “wisdom” you claim…you spew hatred and ignorance in the name of your own faith.
make a great day! i’ve got mouths to feed.
@C Andrew Scott: Calm down there oh tolerant one. You talk a good game but then you say things that reveal your biases.
Odd, I have been around and actually listened when folks of faiths other than my own preached and I did not feel violated.
If I attend a meeting and a Rabbi says a prayer, I am not offended or violated. Even in light of all the Islamic terrorism in the world today, if an Imam says a prayer, I am fine with it.
If you became a believer in Scientology, for instance and made a post on here about how much peace and joy you have found since converting, why would I feel violated? Threatened? Frightened?
Looks to me that, in the general sense, Christians are far more tolerant than self-professed Godless creatures such as yourself.
Now don’t let me stop you, go ahead and pick on Ms. Beezy – but be careful, she’s got a sting to her!!
@anticsrocks: here’s the interesting tidbit. i did not walk into a Jewish temple to hear a Rabbi give a prayer. i did not step into a mosque either. or a Catholic cathedral. or a Baptist church.
Bee makes the revisionist argument that the Founding Fathers of America used “GOD WISDOM” which is completely inaccurate. she also seems, again, to ignore the true nature of the First Amendment. in fact…doesn’t this thread exist only because some “godless creature” (Bill Maher) made a comment about the ever-important Tim Tebow? isn’t it also quite amazing that so many people praise Tebow for his character simply because he is Christian and in the spotlight. i’ve heard it from so many angles. “American NEEDS Tim Tebow”, “he’s a great role-model”, “he’s such a good guy”
i disagree with you whole-heartedly that Christians are “far more tolerant” when i read jibberish from the likes of Bee and see the GOP candidates do everything in they can to take control and dictate morality, by imposing religiously influenced law.
it is not “Christians” i feel “threatened” by…it is ignorance.
make a great day!
@C Andrew Scott: Well by all means, let’s just make sure that everyone else in the country, and for that matter, since it was on FA that you felt “violated,” the internet as well stop talking about God, or faith, or religion. I mean God forbid – oops, sorry – you get offended.
Grow up.
Why does the fact that someone else say that Tebow is a good, Christian role model offend you? Are you really that much of a prima donna?
You said:
Nope, sorry. YOU are the one who has it wrong.
From our first, formal founding document, emphasis mine:
Now if, as you say, the Founding Fathers did not use God’s wisdom, why then did Jefferson feel compelled to include the fact that we get our rights from our Creator? Or that we are entitled to these rights by the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God?”
As for the First Amendment, it says:
So our Congress cannot Constitutionally prohibit the free exercise of religion, but you, C Andrew Scott want religious folks to shut up because it makes you feel uncomfortable?
Excuse me, but exactly where do you get the right to say who can, or should, say or not say – anything? Seems to me you are all puffed up about all us “ignorant” people of faith when you don’t even understand the most basic, simple principle of our founding documents.
Every single one of the Founding Fathers were men of faith, and yet you say that Ms. Beez is rewriting history when she claims they turned to God’s wisdom.
If it weren’t so sad, it would be laughable.
@anticsrocks: it is laughable, sir. and your defense of Bee’s revisionist mentality is comical.
where does it say YOUR “creator”, sir? where does it say YOUR bible?
i don’t want to “shut up” religious people. i am not made uncomfortable by “religious” people. as i’ve said before…it’s ignorant bigots i have beef with. YOU make the assumption that i am clumping “religious” people with “ignorant” people.
but again…i digress…this thread began when someone here decided it was justified to attack one man’s Freedom of Speech. and yet, i’ve never said you or Bee did not have a right to your respective faiths. i’ve simply argued against your respective mentalities.
@anticsrocks:
you’re right. how foolish of me. here’s a great example.
yeah. sounds very “tolerant” to me.
C Andrew Scott
thank you for the link,
wow, what a speech, he does it best, yes he has told the TRUTH
AND HE SAID SOMEBODY HAS TO TELL IT, SOMEBODY HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT,
AND HE IS THE PERFECT ONE TO SAY IT.
I really appreciate the link you presented, you are right it is a great example, of a warrior for GOD
TO SAVE AMERICA HE LOVE WITH PASSION. LIKE TEBOW DISPLAY WITH KINDNESS FOR HIS FELLOW HUMAN.
BYE
@ilovebeeswarzone: thank you, Bee…for clarifying. you are not ignorant. you are stupid. there is a subtle difference.
C Andrew Scott
I have your next answer on my site, but not here yet, I just did not want to click on this long thread,
but here is my answer to it;
you call me stupid ignorant, well on many things yes I am, but I can better than you discern between a righteous HUMAN, AND ANOTHER HUMAN WHO IS LOST IN THE EMPTINESS OF THE VOID HE HAS FALLEN.
ONLY YOU CAN GET OUT OF IT
