Tim Tebow does it again as the Broncos smote the Steelers. Here is a picture of Tim after his last throw. Touchdown!!!
This guy is simply amazing. Tim threw for 3:16 yards against the Steelers. Of course, he does this every game. I'm just waiting for some foul tempered atheist referee to throw the little yellow flag at him for going down on one knee for cheating. Of course, if he is really an athiest then how is this cheating? Hmmm? Does anyone know who Tim smites next week?
Smoted? Is smoted a word? Anyhew, if I were you I would not be sitting too close to the Patriots side lines just in case the earth decides to open up and devour them, especially considering Bill Belichick is their coach.
Kind of like the players in the new batman movie lol? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GokKUqLcvD8&feature=related"]The Dark Knight Rises Official Movie Trailer Christian Bale, Batman Movie (2012) HD - YouTube[/ame]
Tim Tebow, Eli Manning and Tom Brandy were standing before 'god'. Eli says to 'god', thank you for giving me the ability to play in the NFL. Tim Tebow says you are my lord and savior. I am truly humbled for being in your presence. Tom Brady looks and 'god' and says I think you're in my seat.
Actually, God is actively addressing those in need through people like Tim Tebow. You see, Tim was born in Manila due to that fact that his parents were involved in missionary work there. Tim is now part of BTEA, which stands for Bob Tebow Evangelistic Association. Tim's father, Bob, started the missions which help to take care of orphans in the Philipeans. So what is wolverine doing to make the world a better place, other than deride those that are trying to make the world a better place? Hmmmmm?
I suggest you address the Problem of Evil first before you ask me to stop 26,000 people from starving today instead of blessing an obscenely rich athlete. More point is not very hard to understand. A world of virtue, people doing good for the sake of good and for the benefit of others, is not divine intervention. It is people doing good. What you describe is a secular description of humanitarianism, and not one of divine intervention.
God is love and a mutually loving relationship demands a choice to reject the other. So if the God of love and life is the source of all that is good and you reject it, then what are you left with? However, if you are unable to reject him then you are a slave and are forced to do what is "good". Which do you prefer?
This is a man who is sent by God to help others. If you have any of yourself actually getting off your arse and helping others, please do share.
Here is a fact. Those who are religious give more of their money and time to those in need. http://www.politicalforum.com/religious/223888-abrahamic-religions-charity.html Deride those of faith like Tebow or Mother Teresa if you like. It's not hard to do. After all, we all have our faults. But at the end of the day atheists are slackers compared to them. Now run along and go post some more anti-religious cartoons.
Those are religious people donating. Those are not people giving money because god is telling them to do so (a violation of free will, a contradiction). You didn't do anything to prove your case at all.
I see. Well if convincing people that God exists increases the likelyhood of them getting up off their arse and helping those in need, then that is what the world needs more of. So what are YOU donig about that kid starving that you posted a picture of? Let me guess, you don't think God exists so you don't really care.
That is far removed from god using people to do good when it could solve problems on its own. We can convince people to do anything for any reason, but does that make it right, true, and factual? No. I imagine helping people manage back rent to prevent eviction and helping those in need in my community would count. However you are using the standard cop out for the Problem of Evil. Instead of simply conceding the logical conclusion of the problem of evil, you put it off on people. Which removes god from the equation of preventing people, and is indistinguishable from a secular world absent of an "all loving god" that kills 26,000 children a day.
What's with all the hatred toward Tebow? Is it because he credits God with his talents or because he has gained a lot of money using his talent? Or both? Either way, the guy is a great guy and he has a heart for those less fortunate. He puts his money where his mouth (and heart) is, unlike many godless libs. When has an atheist organization started an orphanage to house, feed and clothe multitudes of needy families? Or met on a weekend to bag up groceries to take down to the projects? Or had a food drive, or clothing drive? There is a lot of hope involved in the Christian belief. When a single mom gets kicked out of her home and shows up on a church doorstep, she is offered hope as well as tangible help. When you're down and out, it's not just a tangible thing. If you've ever had hurt in your life you know that feeling and you just need someone to tell you it's gonna be OK. If it turns out in the end that God never existed, would that hope offered that woman had been such a bad thing? All I hear is complaints about religious fanaticism. What's so wrong about offering hope? The alternative? Visit the local atheist meeting? Seems there would be a lot of nothing there, I've never gotten a compassionate vibe from an atheist. (And yes, I do know several)
I don't care who gives more. My argument is against the ridiculousness of believing that Teebow is somehow blessed whiles tens of thousands will starve to death today. *** The Problem of Evil ***
Because he's a flash in the pan QB who doesn't deserve all the media attention that he is getting. If you think he is the 1st NFL player to be hated for this, you are wrong.
Atheist Charities Yet another one who needs stop reading books written 2,000 years ago by sheepherders.
