God does care if Tebow got game!

Yesterday, the Denver Broncos beat the Pittsburgh Stealers in the NFC wild-card game, 29-23.  The Stealers didn't play all that well and the Broncos did, even though the Stealers came back to tie the game. Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow played exceptionally well, winning the game as he threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas in the first play of overtime.

On Facebook I subscribe to Tebow's comments. Here's his latest one about the victory.


Pretty much as you would expect from someone who prays for victories and prays before interviews. He credits god for his win. Tebow must think that god takes a personal interest in his game, granting him victories.

And he is not alone. Check out some of these sample comments following Tebow's initial post.


See, have enough faith and God will grant you a win. Of course, any losses are your fault. Not God's.
God is using Tebow? To win games in the NFL apparently. Children starve and die, cancer ravages people's bodies, natural disasters destroy whole communities but for some reason, football is a priority. 

And if Tebow was a murdering drug addict pedophile and a Christian, I suppose he wouldn't be a True Christian™. No, because he wins football games, he is a True Christian™.



And don't the other players deserve divine protection, or just Tebow because he is so in-your-face with his faith? 

I'm willing to bet that the losing team has a majority of Christians filling their ranks. Why didn't their play (even though they lost) bring "glory to God." Nah, its because they lost. During the game, Stealers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger gave praise to God while looking up pointing to the sky when he threw the tying touchdown in the forth quarter. Did God use Roethlisberger to his glory too? Or just Tebow? Does God use everybody like little programmable robots? Apparently so.

Tebow and his religious fans show amazing cognitive dissonance. On one hand they will cry "free-will" but condemn you to Hell if you reject their God while stating that God uses people for his will.
