Christian Athletes

If you're into sports or at least pay attention to any kind of news then you know who Tim Tebow is. In my opinion, he's a young NFL quarterback who had a sub par year with sub par stats that got lucky with the help of his backfield and a streaky defense. Some would probably disagree, some might even say the boy is god like. That divine intervention was responsible for all those come from behind victories. In fact, USA Today ran a poll and 43% of those asked believed divine intervention really did play a role in his success, of course all due in part to Tebow's undying love of god and all things churchy. Bullshit. I won't sit here and tell you why I hate organized religon or christianity in general, but I will say how much I hate "christian athletes". I find it hard to believe that if god is real and has "control" over all these things in the universe that he wouldn't be wasting his precious time dealing with who wins a football game or any other sporting event. Athletes/celebrities in the spotlight who pray or feel the need to thank god in a public forum or in front of cameras comes off a bit grand standsih to me. Like I said, these people really think God uses his divine powers to win them an Emmy or Heisman Trophy, all this instead of curing AIDS or saving starving babies. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Tebow is the newest star athlete to thank jesus for every great game he plays. The dude even has his own meme, "Tebowing", which is bowing down to thank christ for his bounty of 3rd down conversions and great blocking up-front. I could rant forever about this but why not the master himself take care of that.........
