The Lord withdrew his favor from Tim Tebow when Tim cancelled a speaking engagement at a church due to pressure from LGBT groups. The lesson is that one must always remain steadfast in the service of the Lord.

Damn, Tebow can't throw because God is dumping on him? Well, maybe, but here are the choices, either Timmy's just not very good or your God is a complete a$$hole.
Sorry, I don't follow sports, all I know is for a while all the fundies were praising Tebow, and now they've all seemed to move on.
"The Lord withdrew his favor from Tim Tebow when Tim cancelled a speaking engagement at a church due to pressure from LGBT groups. The lesson is that one must always remain steadfast in the service of the Lord."
You'd think that - as per apostasy in Islam - your 'God' would have done infinitely worse to British Olympic gold medal-winning athlete and long-time Christian Jonathan Edwards , when he recanted of his beliefs, and became an Atheist.
Therefore a question, Harry: Why has nothing happened to him since, and - since becoming an Atheist - his star has been in the ascendant, nay, his P.R. image/TV career is in rude health, especially after his being a presenter for Channel 4's coverage of the 2012 London Paralympics...?!
You may not like the only possible answer if you do.

In winning, may you never quit. b^_^d
@Anonemoose:
I think we just came up with an empirical test for various denominations of Christianity. We take pairs of sportsmen with comparable results, get them to different congregations and have one stay faithful to said congregation and one recant their beliefs. Whichever pair has greatest divergence in future results, their Church must be closest to God!...
Or God is just not really interested in pastimes of men...
Did the Lord send you an email to let you know? If not, how can you be sure?
Could it have had something to do with the injunction that when you pray, you should do it in private? And wouldn't that rule out doing it in the middle of a football field with thousands looking on at your, er, piety.

Well then, let's hope he never oversleeps on Sunday morning and misses the service at his church. Heaven only knows what God would do to him.
Dear Harold...and other fundies....
Listen carefully...
TIM...TEBOW...IS...A...MEDIOCRE...FOOTBALL...PLAYER...YOU...BIG...CLUELESS...DUMMIES!
Now, Tebow may have been a faboo COLLEGE player but he's a crummy NFL PRO prayer!
The NFL...where the BEST OF THE BEST of players are only picked! Tebow was great vs. fellow college kids more rusty than him. In the NFL, everyone is "The Best College Athlete". All that athletic greatness is bound to greatly dwarf Tebow! PERSPECTIVE, BABY!
TIM TEBOW IS NOT THE SECOND COMING OF JOE MONTANA, BRETT FARVE OR EVEN A FRANK REICH! HE'S A CRAPPY QUARTERBACK! THAT'S WHY HE'S NOT DOING GREAT! IT'S NOT AN ANTI-CHRISTIAN CONSPIRACY, HE'S JUST NOT THAT GOOD! *AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH*!
Sorry for the screaming but reasoning with these people is like reasoning with an electric blender.
SpukiKitty and breakerslion: +1 each.
Dear Harold,
You have probably been following Timmy Terrific since the day he set foot on the campus of the University of Florida. Yes, he was a decent, nay, above average college quarterback who just happened to have a tremendous O-line in front of him and fantastic receivers who could catch just about ANYthing. Ergo, he looked good. It also helped matters that he had the marketing prowess of BOTH a big-time Southeastern Conference school AND the Fundie Movement to keep him in the public eye.
Unfortunately for Timmy Terrific's NFL career, his skill set didn't transfer to that level, and all he seems to have left is Fundie marketing. However, this alone should ensure an adequate paycheck on the speaking circuit for some years to come, WITHOUT being beaten to pulp in actual NFL games. Wanna re-think that "Lord's favor" remark, champ?
Cheers,
Dewey Cheatham
this post got me thinking how funny it would be to have fundie sports announcers.
god makes 1 out of 2 free throws, bob.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
