The genuflecting

Someone posted this as a wall photo on my Facebook:
Don’t forget to pray today, because God didn’t forget to wake you up this morning.
I’ll say this about Jews and Muslims: They do not proselytize. Even if I was receptive to religion, the last thing I would want is for some righteous fanatic to shove it in my face. I suspect that these are the people who are most repressed. What are they trying to hide?
Tim Tebow finally had a good game last Sunday against the Steelers. I have to admit that he is clutch. I’ll also say this: You could have driven a Mac truck through those Pittsburgh safetys. Even I would have scored with those holes.
Now we’ve got another week of hearing about how Tebow does nothing but win. Until the Patriots send him a one-way ticket to heathen-town.
I love it when Christians get all huffy about being tamped down due to political correctness. There’s only 224 million of them in the U.S. — I think they have a voice.
Would Tebow be a household name if he didn’t interject God into every other sentence? He’s a mediocre quarterback who had one good game and a bunch of lucky ones. America loves sanctimony, and Tebow has it in spades.
Can you imagine the outrage if Tebow was a Muslim and he used his post game interviews to thank Allah? He would be tarred and feathered faster than you could say war on Christmas.
I get nervous around devout people. When I think about devout Christians the first word that comes to mind is intolerance. Intolerance of gays and minorities and a myopic world view. I think about their propensity for supporting capital punishment, as well as their love of guns and their narrow view of civil rights.
That’s religion to me.

Following on your comment, just saw on MSNBC’s website that 43% of Americans think God helps Tebow win. Not sure about that. I always presumed God was a “Saints” fan.

But it now appears that God prefers quarterbacks who knock up actresses and screws supermodels.

Brady? Well duh, everyone knows that God hates an option QB.
