Tim Tebow

[Pancamo]

If there was a Jewish player or a Muslim player who spread their beliefs around like Tebow, would it be as celebrated? Helping impovershed people in the Phillipines is nice, helping them with the idea of converting them to Christianity is bull****.

Awesome. Spurrier said he voted for Snead. Then, on Thursday, asked to change his vote to Tebow. Said his vote for Snead was a mistake.

Ah....the ol ball coach. Nice.

To me it wasn't that big of a deal. Everyone has an opinion.

I said before I didn't think it was a big deal either. Just interesting to follow.

If there was a Jewish player or a Muslim player who spread their beliefs around like Tebow, would it be as celebrated? Helping impovershed people in the Phillipines is nice, helping them with the idea of converting them to Christianity is bull****.

I'm just curious to know why you think that's bull****?

 

[JackReacher]

So now Tebow will be a unanimous pick.

Spurrier went to Slive and had his vote changed. Stevie blamed the SID for voting Snead because there were already a slew of Gators on the ballot already.

This just keeps getting better.

I think the point is if you''re gonna help someone, help someone without the religion string attached. I've always thought missionaries were overrated.

Dooley is correct. The message of help is fantastic but the message of help tied to a specific religion is bribery.

I can see that point, but isn't doing that kind of work the job of a missionary? The message of conversion is what they're all about. In that situation it goes hand in hand.

I guess the question is, if Tebow really is such a great guy, would he still go to the Phillipines to help out if he wasn't Christian? Obviously, there are plenty of people who do that type of work without a religious agenda.

The only name for that kid would be "Hustle."

We already have a Hustle.

Let's try Koko.

T-Bone.

I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS RIPPING OF SPURDOG!

I'm not religious, but that's ridiculous. If people who need help get help, the motive doesn't really matter.
And most people in the Philippines are Christian already.


As for the name of the Tebow=Hansbrough super baby, I was thinking Soda.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Not Seven?

 

[imjustagirl]

Nathan Junior.

Thought about this over my lunch break. What if Tebow were an atheist, much less Muslim or Jewish? What if he took as seriously his standing as a role model, but brushed off any talk of religion? What if he still volunteered to go to the Philippines to help build houses or something, but not under religious pretense?

 

[imjustagirl]

Then he'd be my favorite football player in history.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I don't care who wins the Heisman this year, as long as it's not Tebow.

I don't think he's trying to convert anyone. Contrary to popular belief, Christianity's not all about converting the masses. I know, crazy to hear, right? It's also not about not cussing, not drinking, not having sex, not doing all this stuff. It's not about not sinning, and it's not about preaching.

It's about, well, helping people, whether they're impoverished kids in the Philippines or men in jail. To convert them? No. But to make their lives just a little bit better, and to give them hope.

There's a lot of hope to be found in Christianity that gets shoved aside, replaced by people telling other people "repent or go to hell!" and such.
