I’ve decided. And there’s no way you can dissuade me. Tim Tebow is the anti-Christ. My evidence? Well. It’s not a lot, I’ll admit. But the kid is just too good. Like way too good. Every time you turn around he does something so…good…that it’s impossible not to love the kid. And he’s awesome at football. Crazy awesome.
He speaks from a national podium about abstinence. He chats up the Lord enough that Kurt Warner starts wondering if he’s not serious enough about his faith. He does things like bringing an ill young woman to walk the red carpet with him. He attends fundraisers for children he’s never met.
Come on. Do you think the Antichrist is going to come on with horns and a pitchfork. No way. He’s gonna’ act all nice. So it’s either that Tim Tebow might just be the best darn kid in America. Or the Antichrist. You know where I stand.

In other words you admire the guy- cool! Sometimes we need role models, and oddly find them!

Way to go, Tim Tebow. 🙂 And Kelly looks like quite the young lady as well!

This was a particularly inane post. Maybe tongue-in-cheeck or whatever !! Irony is not your strong suit !!

Tim Tebow is truly an example of a Christian man who walks the walk humbly and with grace and maturity well beyond his years. He's already a hero to millions for being perhaps the finest college football player ever, but his greatest accomplishment lies in his love of God and his service to others before seeking his own glory. In an age of growing cynicism and radical individualism, his life demonstrates the love God has for all of us.

Ah, c'mon, lighten up! Tim Tebow is incredibly admirable. I get that. I hope my boys grow up to be just like him. I still laughed my head off reading this post. Jealous much, Matthew?

Tim Tebow is great…if you have no problem with Fundamentalist heretics who believe Catholics are Hell-bound. He and his missionary parents have bragged about poaching Phillipine Catholics and count Catholics among those heathens who have never really heard the Gospel. Of course we know people who believe such patenly absurd garbage are clueless. But should we celebrate them because they're great athletes and apparently "nice" people?

@Anonymous 9:28. Would you rather have him as your regular cocky-cheerleader-bumping-hotdogging-cowboy-jock? I think he's a living argument against atheletes and other macho types who think that spirituality is a girly thing. I think his example will make more saints than a million sermons combined because he walks the talk and shows people how to follow Jesus. He is not concerned with human respect, only with God's impression. I hope and pray that he perseveres till the end.
And so what if he's a fundie and gets things wrong about Catholics. I don't hear him talking about that, do you? I think some fundies are closer God because of their sincere faith and invincible ignorance.

All hail Tebow! (Cue Carmina Burana) Seriously, Tim takes most milquetoast Catholics to school.

I agree that this is a great story and that he is a great role model. How nice that he did that for that young woman – and I believe he was sincere, too.
But, c'mon, invincible ignorance? That applies to people who have never heard of Jesus, not fundamentalist American Christians.

Oh yeah. Nice prelude to his coming…

Haha you mean maybe he is possessed by the devil or maybe devil provided some drugs to improve his physic conditions but there are not proofs yet so we can't speculate.
