JJ's Promise After the TCU Game

Apologies if the hyperbole was taken literally. Thought this was common knowledge;

"In an impoverished village outside General Santos City in the Philippines, Tebow helped circumcise impoverished children."

WOW!  That is an amazing statistic.  Once again, suggesting one of the last jobs I would really want my name on is guy in charge of an NFL draft.  (Recommendation: Draft by chalk with slight adjustment for need.)

White liberals/left wingers are overwhelmingly the most hostile towards overt displays of religion. Like it’s not even close.

Black, Arab, and  Hispanics tend to be more religious than whites in general. A lot of history at play there.

Michigan isn't the best team for those types. Half our team has a cross or Jesus tattoo or a cross necklace.

Our coaches and players thank God half the time they're interviewed after games.

The hostility existed before the more recent rise of Christian nationalism although that has certainly exacerbated tensions significantly. Reasons are complex and varied IMO.

Leftist politics have tended to be irreligious and/or openly hostile to religion since the time of Thomas Paine and the French Revolution. Feminists, gay rights advocates, Jews… have had to battle white Christian hostility towards them for centuries. All of those groups make up a  large portion of leftist politics. Marxists  intrinsically are hostile to religion. Marx obviously being a massive influence on left wing thought. 
 

Christianity has for over 1000 years been the central part of the  social, philosophical, and governing of Western societies. As a result all of the wrongs that these societies have committed, regardless of how universal the behavior is, is associated with Christianity. Few associate the advancements of Western societies with Christianity. Instead they point to other reasons like science and mathematics.

(People blame religion for all the bad while ignoring that humans did like things before organized religion was ever conceived of or in places where there is no organized faith.)

Religion is seen as a barrier to liberty, justice, and knowledge. It is the antithesis of what is seen as the archetypical society in the secularist mind. There are tons of history that support this conclusion. Religion has been discredited most effectively not by it’s opponents but by it’s practitioners.

Tim Tebow may indeed be a good man. But to many he represents what they revile most—openly devout white males.  His race and faith are factors in how people perceive him whether we wish to admit it or not. 
 

Yeah, I can’t believe they added “in god we trust” to the dollar bill this year. /s

Just an FYI - Harbaugh praised his "Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" on Sunday morning during an interview.

Reality is every grouping of people will have a list of things about another grouping of people that they don't like. Asking people who are different than you to only be different in their private settings so you don't have to witness it is a rather myopic view. Considered all of the things you have done in public which offended someone else without even knowing it.
