A thought about Tebow and "Tebowing"?
The streets of New York, London, and Paris are mobbed every day with literally thousands of Mohammadens praying in the streets, multiple times in a day, disrupting traffic and business, inconveniencing passersby, bringing entire neighborhoods to a standstill, yet some people are outraged over one man praying in end zone a few times a week.
Do you all have your priorities straight?

It has nothing to do with Tebow being Christian really. It has to do with whether or not he's the person that he claims to be first of all. We've been burned by too many people who said they were good people, only for the truth to come out later. Second, most folks get really worked up by the fact that right now he's a mediocre QB at best.

Perhaps some of his critics wonder about the validity of athletes invoking the deity, when they accomplish some feat in a children's game being played by millionaire adults.
Is it reasonable for any sportsman to suggest that his god has intervened on his behalf in a mere sporting contest?
On another note, why is it acceptable for him to delay a game to indulge in a personal religious observance in so public a setting? His is a "holier than thou" approach, is it not?
Would you be happy to see baseball players drop to one knee at home plate, on each occasion that they clubbed a home run? Such theatricals should be confined to bad Hollywood films.
In fact, Tebow's behavior only cheapens religious faith. Thank your god, when a child comes through a life and death operation successfully, but not when you complete a forward pass.
(By the way your reference to European Muslims was quite off topic.)

it is stupid, and that fact that it is not called that is even more ridiculous.
this asinine behaviour needs to be stopped immediately.
