At least with Tebow his faith seemed pretty legitimate. He did mission work in the Philippines, stayed out of trouble, and generally acted like a gent as far as I could tell.
But if there is a preference of faithful guys out there, a guy like Aaron Rodgers is a good example. He doesn't evangelize every fucking time he's on camera. Thanking God at every opportunity with the cameras rolling, bowing in prayer seemingly for the cameras. . . . I can see how it irritates people. Rodgers inconspicuously points to the sky before he takes the field at the beginning of the game. He doesn't seem to make a show of it. He doesn't talk about thanking God at every moment. I like that. It's not forcing some agenda down people's throats. I feel the same way about most things, though. It irritates me when McCartney shoves his agenda down my throat with his anti-meat eating campaign.
And forget about it when the gays force their veiny, throbbing agenda down my throat. That really irritates me.
If I want to hear about God and Jesus, I can go to church or read the bible or talk to others who share the faith. But sometimes I just want to watch some fucking football.
Hell, Vince Lombardi went to church every day of his life and managed to not force his faith down the throats of others. Evangelizing by example seems more effective but the vanities of some can't leave it at that. They have to proclaim it at every opportunity.
And that commercial about choosing life. . . . yeah, Mrs. Tebow, that's wonderful for you. You thought Timmy would be deformed and look at him now. He's a big and strong man making millions.
Would she still do that commercial if Timmy were in a wheelchair, drooling and shitting his pants? Doubt it.
