I think all of the people who are making religious detractions against Tebow are cowards. You can love him or hate him, that's okay, but to vilify him on religious grounds is cowardice and small-mindedness. I respected Sandy Koufax and Hank Greenberg when they did not play on religious holidays, even though their absence might have cost their team a game. If Tebow holds his faith important, that's his right (I think the constitution gives us all freedom of expression and religion). If you're in the penitentiary and make some anti-Muslim remark, you'll get your teeth re-arranged. And I get some sickening feeling that Tebow's detractors are themselves Christians. They're just pissed off they lost their piddling wager because of their own incompetence as handicappers, as if God cares.
No one religion has a monopoly on self-hatred. I've heard Jews, Christians, and Muslims belittle their own religions. I just find it cowardly and loathsome. I just respect those who respect themselves. You know what scares us about these Muslim extremists? They're willing to die for their faith, and that makes agnostics and atheists scared shitless. I know Israel will defend its people against attack or annihilation by Iran or whoever, I just hope the Christians aren't taking bets on who will win instead of defending what is right. So I will continue to defend Koufax, Greenberg, and Tebow for their religious beliefs.
