No one enjoys wearing their religion on their sleeve and congratulating themselves more than the Christianist and the professional Christian set - think Tony Perkins, Maggie Gallagher, etc., etc. Oh, and then there's the increasingly delusional Tim Tebow, who seems to be belatedly getting on the nerves of his fellow football players. Indeed, Tebow seems more concerned with engaging in constant displays of his religiosity than he does playing football. Frankly, I find him insufferable. Moreover, while playing the role of super Christian, he certainly seems to have not bothered to read his Bible. Note Christ's purported description of such public displays: "hypocrites." Don't believe me? Here it is:Matthew 6:5-6: "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men....when thou prayest, enter into thy closet and when thou has shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
I guess I should not be surprised by Tebow's conduct since no group ignores the dictates of the Bible more than the Christianists and those who like to exalt themselves publicly. Andy Towle has a good take on Tebow's lunacy here in a post captioned "Tim Tebow's Wife is in a Brokeback Marriage".
