Tim Tebow's John 3:16 Causes Controversy

| | Comments (3) | TrackBacks (0)
Many view Florida quarterback Tim Tebow as "God," but apparently he doesn't share that view.
The son of missionaries and a devout Christian, Tebow often looks for ways to spread his faith. The most recent way was at the BCS championship game, where he wrote "John 3:16" on his eye black.

John 3:16 is of course probably the one bible verse you know if you even went to half an hour of Sunday school growing up:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Many fans are crying foul, saying that religion and sports shouldn't mix. Others say they really couldn't care less, it's eye black. If he changed the name on his jersey to "Salvation" or something, that might be a bigger deal, but this isn't the XFL, so I don't think that should be a problem.

Does seeing Tebow's evangelical eye-black bother you after seeing in on TV for thirty seconds?

Have you considered adding video to your posts to keep the visitors entertained? I recently read through the entire article and it was good…thanks for the share

While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!

A great post in the sea of useless blather known as the internet. Keep it up! :)
