My comments concern the Tebow fad. I respect his passionate expression of faith, I uphold his right (under the constitution) to make such expressions. What I find personally objectionable is the implication that his winning TD drives are God's will or God's response and reward for his faith. It raises the question, why did God choose to allow his completion of the last pass and not an interception by an equally devout Steeler DB. (Incidentally our local paper carried an article where Tebow's pastor did say that Tim's success on specific plays  is God's reward, God's intervention. Tebow's failure to say otherwise, has to suggest agreement). The issue raises a larger theological issue including intercessory prayer of all kinds, that I have struggled with during 34 years of ministry. But If God intervenes and show favorites in of all things a Professional Football game, I'm not sure I want to be on God's side!
