45. Bashing Tebow is not bashing religion

Nothing Tebow has anything to do with religion. Demonstrations of public piety are anathama to true religion and are sharply criticized by the Rabbi Jesus.



Matthew 6:5 - 7

5. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.



If the Rabbi Jesus that some call the Christ can criticize the practice of public demonstrations of piety then I think it is acceptable for us to do so here, without it having any impact on sincere Christians who follow the bible.
