2. I was trying to figure out why it is that I have such a disdain for Tebow. It's not about his

religion; it's more about the contradiction: You point to the sky every time a touchdown is scored as if God is picking sides in what is undeniably a very violent sports game.

Does God choose sides?
Does He even care about such worldly things?

And so, every time I see any sports figure pointing to the sky after a home run or touchdown or field goal, or whatever, I have to wonder: God choosing sides?

And that's what bothers me about Teebow. It's not just him persay, but he does wear it so much on his sleeve, that in my view, he is the poster child for religious heresy.
