How many times can a religious nut bug you about Jeebus before you snap?

Do you think Tebow prayed to Jeebus in order to save the foul-mouthed heathen?

PS. Tebow scored a 22, which is 2 under the average for Quarterbacks. So his Sky-daddy did not help him too much.

You may as well pray for a good Wunderlic score. It would do about as much good as anything else.

I think the foul-mouthed heathen was out of line. A simple "no thanks, Tim" would have sufficed.

Why?

He had no business grandstanding like that, and he got slapped down as a result. You don't think other players resent his attitude that he is God's gift to football (literally)?

Why should his showing off be accepted? Just because it is religion?

Any other player makes a big deal to say "Look at me!!!!!!" and they are also going told to shut the f up, too.

I think it's the same secret code that is used in the sports page of newspapers. I've tried reading the articles - I struggle to get through a paragraph or two understanding what they're saying, and it's such a struggle that by the time I hit the end of a paragraph I no longer can remember what was at the beginning.
 
The PERFECT response. I wish I knew who it was who said it. I'd send him fan mail.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm an Alabama grad, so I don't like Florida or Tim Tebow just on general principle. ;)
I heard this on the radio yesterday and my reaction was "Finally, someone told this guy to shut the f--- up!" I am so sick of hearing his xtian BS in every interview, after every game etc. If he were spouting some other religion's nonsense reactions would be totally different. If he praised Allah, or whatever else, after games he would get death threats. But since it's all about jebus, he's a "hero" to millions. Oh, and one other thing.....Roll Tide!;)

I don't interpret it as grandstanding. He just comes from a culture where people spontaneously break out into prayer. He's a natural leader, so he took the initiative...and badly misjudged the reaction he would get.

Just a little culture shock. He'll learn to deal with it.

I worked for an employer who gave Wunderlic tests to prospective employees. A few really good (and badly needed) prospects were denied because they didn't score high enough. And this was for unskilled labor.

As far as I could tell, there was little or no correlation between score and subsequent job performance.

I had assumed, after reading the OP, that this "Wunderlic" test is something given to prospective professional football quarterbacks. Was I wrong in that assumption, or were you an NFL player?

Which, to people from other cultures, is grandstanding.

Of course, he didn't want them to "spontaneously" break into prayer. He wanted an organized group activity. Kind of like praying before a meal. Which is also not spontaneous (no one says, "Hey, I got a crazy idea - let's PRAY before we eat!").
 
Apparently Tebow's bible is missing the page where Jesus says ""Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven." (Matthew 6:1) As well as "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men."

From wiki...

The Wonderlic Personnel Test is a twelve-minute, fifty-question test used to assess the aptitude of prospective employees for learning and problem-solving in a wide range of occupations.
