    Why are people ok with Ray lewis praising god, but not Tebow?

    there are some not okay with both or are okay. But you hear alot more negativity with Tebow doing it. Are people just afraid to talk back to ray?

    The answer to all of your transparent bating threads is because black people get preferential treatment. There. You've figured everything out. Now stop filling the site with threads.

    This could be true in some cases. But a lot of rays preaching is off base and out of context. He may need psychiatric help more then anything. People hate tebow because of what he believes in. The world is a dark place . Darkness does not want to see the light.

    Jesus loved Keapernick untill he made the ref neglect to call the pass interference at the end of the game.
    I guess Jesus is a Ravens fan until next season.
    It's funny, I thought Jesus was a SAINTS fan!

    Do not have a problem with Tebow evoking his faith the way he chooses to do. If you do not like it, that is your problem imo. However, do not see a problem with the criticism of Evangelical's who like to preach that their religion is the Ultimate Truth. Tebow is more specific with his faith and therefore is more open to criticism. The race of the person may be a factor as well. Overall, Tebow seems to be a good guy, but he is not a starter in this league at the QB position. The fact that so many root for him to fail/succeed based on his religious views indicate a great divide in America. It is what it is.

    Ray is getting criticism too. Only difference is he is winning and people care while Tebow is punt protecting and no one cares.

    Not only does Ray Lewis get away with it because he is black, because if he didn't he will find a way to kill you and get away with it

    Plus its cool to see an angry black man who we will see in the news 2 years removed from the game about breaking the law in one fashion or another cry "Lord help me Jesus, Thank God, Oh My God, Its God's will......."

    Screaming and crying "God this God that" is great for his image

    Did Ray Lewis become a Jesus Freak before or after he helped murder those 2 guys?

    Tebow is a religious douchbag indeed 100%. Ray is somewhere between phony and sincere.

    There are a lot of great stories on the Ravens' roster.

    Ray Lewis' belief that God led him to a Super Bowl victory in his "last ride" isn't one of them.

    Because Tebow hasn't achieved anything needing God's praising. What will Tebow praise God for? Thank you Lord for making me a backup in the NFL and not making me start a single game?

    It's that simple. The highest paid punt protector ever really should be praising God, or be doing like the other humanitarians and clipping skin from little boys twigs and berries.

    You must have been hibernating last year. Because Tebow started and won 6 games in a row and had lots of press. Just an FYI.

    i think the black/white thing is only tangentially related to the real reason, which is "flair", for lack of a better word

    religious black people have about a billion times more flair than religious white people

    so when Tebow does his thing people are like dude shut up, but when Lewis does his thing people think its cool and exciting

    i mean look at music

    EVERYONE loves gospel, it's one of the most universally adored music genres in the world, and even devoted atheists still usually love gospel songs with religious lyrics

    but white religious people? like Christian rock? Their music SUCKS, it's so bad you don't even know any of the songs or anything

    so why is gospel so widely loved but Christian rock no one knows about or cares about? Is it because gospel is from black people and Christian rock is from white people? tangentially, yes, but primarily it's just that gospel is awesome and Christian rock sucks

    Ray Lewis is cool as hell, end of conversation, and Tebow is boring as hell

    if Tebow praised with the flair of Lewis or other black religious people, people would be ok with Tebow too

    its because hes boring and annoying about it, while Lewis is cool and fonkay about it

    Ray Lewis got made fun of on SNL just like Tebow..They talk about Ray's holy ways on ESPN almost as much as they did Tebow.

    The fact that Tebow comes off like a lispy, mammas boy, virgin doesnt help.

    No one can praise the Lord the way Ray Lewis does. I'm a true believer in Ray Lewis. He guided my Ravens ML bet to victory.

    because white people are expected to believe that everyone came from turd-slinging monkeys and if you believe anything else you're just not with the program. thats why Christmas is now called x-mas, any reference to God must be removed and praying when around others trespasses on their rights to believe that our distant cousins love to jump around in trees...

    but if you're from another culture or society then hey, thats coo!
