Mocking tim Tebow - You Bet, Every Chance I Get - But not as much as Tim Tebow mocks Christianity

TDear Readers,

Check out this link for an example of the sheer  hypocrisy of the Christian Coalition and it's undisguised efforts to propagandize for its ulterior, but still very visible, agenda.

Poor Tim Tebow, puts himself out there, publicly defying the Christian tenants of prayer, as Christ commanded, making a spectacle of himself by prostrating and publicly shoving his face in the face of people who just want to watch football, and then gets criticized for it.  As if any of us should be immune to criticism for our intentional, orchestrated, self-serving public behavior.

Yet, here we have the Christian Coalition coming to his defense as if one's public actions don't openly invite public comment; some of it very critical.

“I think that atheists just need to get over it,” Michele Combs, spokeswoman for the Christian Coalition, tells CBS Denver. “He’s a Christian giving his ability to God. What’s wrong with that?”

Well, Michele there are several things wrong with that.  The first thing being that you think the criticism comes only from atheists.  Wrong.  The Christian Coalition positions itself as if it is the single and only mouth piece of the Christian faith, but in truth they represent a miserably small portion of adherents to Christianity.

The truth is that the larger majority of Christianity is embarrassed and disturbed by Mr. Tebow's actions; embarrassed to see their faith prostituted for personal promotion and disturbed to find that faith has been hijacked by the likes of Ms.Combs who talk, talk, talk talk and talk some more about Christianity but won't for a moment walk the walk.

The Christian Coalition was (important was) a major proponent of the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) movement until it became just too inconvenient for them to actually practice and the embarrassment of constantly speaking out and acting out in ways so obviously contrary to WJWD became indefensible.  For, as in the story referenced above, Jesus had a much lower view of public prayer than do Ms. Combs and the Christian Coalition.

As Mr. Silverman says, "if Tebow is truly a Christian, he would pray in private, not public. It is not surprising Tebow ignores Matthew 6:5 in which Jesus says, ‘When you pray, do not pray like the hypocrites in the street,’” Silverman says. “They pray to be seen praying. Pray in the closet.”

So, yes, I mock Tim Tebow and his public prostrations of faith but doing so is not the same thing as mocking Christianity as Ms. Combs would have one believe.  The road to salvation through Christ is a difficult one, involving many sacrafices and great number of obligations - but not one of them includes public demonstrations of faith through prayer.  Plain and simple, Mr. Tebow and Ms. Combs are self-righteous hypocrites with an agenda.  That agenda finds public prayer to be useful for future gains and self-promotion, but has absolutely nothing to do with professional football.

Mr. Tebow is an idiot-jock who read too much of his own public relations effort, sees it in the newspaper and then believes it to be true.   He may very well be a Christian, but his public prayer is not the sort of public witness - through acts - that Christ commended.  Unfortunately, now having played the fool for the base interest of his self-promotion down the line and after his football career, he finds himself an object of adoration and a tool to be used by the likes of the Christian coalition for its unrelated secular purposes.

Ms. Combs said, "she believes people embrace his show of faith.  'I think more positive has come from this.  Young athletes look up to him.'"  Indeed they do Ms. Combs and this makes them ripe for the pickings doesn't' it?  They look up to him as an athlete and you would piggy back on that to promote your secular agenda on the basis that young people do not think critically without some real life experience, so now is the time to grab their attention, inculcate them into group, play on their faith in an athlete and turn it toward a faith in God which you will be standing by to tell them how to practice their faith , vote, live, judge others, and generally follow the party line when it comes to making secular decisions that have nothing to with faith and everything to do with politics.

If it walks like a duck, talks likes a duck then its a duck in my opinion.  Ms. Combs and the Christian Coalition walk like fascist, talk like fascist and are indeed fascists.  The greatest example of which, Nazi Germany, this country sacrificed many a Christian and non-Christian alike, in order to protect our right to criticise in public, the public acts of our fellow citizens, whether Christian or not.  The Nazi's had a particular expertise in attaching their political and social agendas to those individuals with a cultural following.  Those individuals who went along with the agenda were promoted by the Nazi propaganda machine, a' la Joseph Goebbles.  Those who didn't go along were silenced a' la Auschwitz.
Believe you me folks, the moment Tim Tebow becomes inconvenient to their cause, the Christian Coalition and Ms. Combs will throw him overboard faster than a bunch of Titanic survivors in a life boat with a corpse who can no longer row.

There is nothing to see here folks but a train wreck and your rubber-necking is just making getting along all that much more difficult for the rest of us.
