This douche's god doesn't give a shit about you if you aren't an NFL player
As I've said before, I enjoy watching Tim Tebow play. Amazingly, his passing has actually improved. I've been silently rooting for him because it's just interesting to see something unexpected happen in the NFL. For the record, I'm also rooting for the Cardinals to make the playoffs for the very same reason. Perhaps we should find out which god John Skelton worships, no?
Notwithstanding the remarkable nature of the Broncos six game winning streak, I don't ascribe any cosmic significance to it, but Tebow's pastor, Wayne Hanson of Summit Church, looks upon the Broncos and yea, verily he sees the indelible hand of God guiding the Broncos to victories against teams like the Dolphins and the Bears' third-stringers:
His pastor, Wayne Hanson of Summit Church outside Denver, said the Broncos are winning because of God. “It’s not luck,” said Hanson. “Luck isn’t winning six games in a row. It’s favor. God’s favor. … God has blessed his hard work.”Wow. Let's parse this out. First of all, where was God when Denver got bitchslapped by Detroit? Taking a nap, I guess. Then heathen Tom Brady came to town and blew the Broncos out of the stadium. And what happens when there's a hardworking Christian on the opposing team? How does God choose who wins?
The more troubling implication is that God cares about the outcome of a football game and "blesses" the hard work of Christian football players, yet allows his own missionaries to be murdered in front of their wives and children, gunned down en masse while providing health care in remote villages, and shot for driving a car that was too nice because their beater was unfortunately in the shop at the time. And that was just in 2011!
