Journalism's Fear of Jesus; The Passion of the Tebow



The media's maniacal obsession over Tim Tebow is mainly due to his unabashed Christian faith. It's evidence of society's ever increasing fear to reference God or Jesus in public.

This article is to writing as 0-12 was to coaching.

Amen to that!

Nice 99% delusional hysteria, as always. Give it a rest, Derek. What's next, a 1,000 word screed on the War on Christmas?
Take it to the Fox News lunatic rantings board. -
The Tebow phenomenon is a trip. He's both loved and hated for reasons having nothing to do with football. Can't remember a worse player being such a lightning rod. On the other hand, can't remember a better person being such a lightning rod, either. If he gets a shot with the Pats it will be interesting. If he fades into Bolivian it will also be interesting.

Thanks, Ms. Bachmann. Not sure what this has to do with Husky Football/Basketball, but maybe I missed something?
-
This is one of the worst pieces I have ever read. Agenda much? It always amazes me Christians have pretend like they are the most persecuted group in American society. This crap does not belong on a Husky Football blog.
-
What the fuck was that????
-
For those that are acting pissed about the story, it kinda proves the point of the story. Also, from the beginning of this thing, Derek said he may occasionally write about things not directly related to Husky football.
Derek makes an interesting observation. If you don't agree and want to discuss it, it can be discussed. If you just hate the fact the article exists, then take it to the Outrage of the Day Board. -
You make it sound like it was a surprise that Belicheck and Tebow got the attention they did. I'm certain all the parties involved knew it would be this way.
I highly doubt Belicheck was bemused. Annoyed? You bet, but then again, he never seems to care much for the media. He wasn't born yesterday, he knew what the deal was.
I respect you as a writer, have read some very entertaining and enlightening stuff from you, but this was shit. I'm not sure if you care or not, but these type of articles will kill the momentum this site has started to generate.

We're lucky Derrick still writes articles the way you guys treat him. Everyone is quick to point out when he's wrong but never say anything when he's right. Goes with the territory I guess. You can say he's wrong about the existence of a Supreme Being but to say he's misleading is more wrong. He never predicted the return of Jesus he just passed along what he was hearing. Some of you need to learn the difference

Ut oh. Passion's offended. Shocker.

Very well written and spot-on commentary about the decline of our society, Derek. The sooner everyone accepts REAL GOD into their lives and we approach the necessary homogeneity we need the better off we will all be.
There's a fag flag flying at Safeco today, so I brought a crucifix to stab any homos that cross my path. -
A couple things. First, there would be just as many questions if he was Muslim or gay...probably more.
Second, most Christians don't even act Christ-like. They are hugely hypocritical and deny facts like evolution and people born gay. These things coupled with priests being molesters and hypocrites are why they are mocked and scorned.
By the way I went to 13 years of Catholic school with a steady and healthy diet of Religion. -

But if Tebow was Muslim AND gay he'd live life in abundance or something like that. Pay attention.HeretoBeatmyChest said:A couple things. First, there would be just as many questions if he was Muslim or gay...probably more.

Sorry, I missed the part where I said I was offended. It simply follows that using a cover story on this website to advance your own political/social beliefs is one (small) step above grinolds and the other d-bags using their power to advance their agenda on doucheman.com. I wouldn't have even responded had it not been THE cover story on this website. Had it been just another post on a message board (where it belongs), I wouldn't have said a thing.MikeDamone said:Ut oh. Passion's offended. Shocker.
Keep in mind that you are actually agreeing with ducksareoverrated on an issue. That should tell you something.

Get your own fucking website, Lucifer. Otherwise, appreciate what we have here and kindly shut the fuck up.Passion said:

What's your next move, Passion? Are you going to get all sciencey and tell us that there is no God? You realize what a hypocrite you are, right? People like Derek and I are comfortable with REAL GOD. What do you have? Oh, that's right. A parade. Go back to it and get off our site. -
So you were offended. Why the debate? Some things dont need to be said, they are self evident. Your follow up post was just confirmation that I was right.Passion said:

Passion why don't you ask DJ if you can write a counter viewpoint article, there's not much going on anyways... meh
I try to keep religion, politics, and sports all separate but oh well... Tebow as a football player seems to suck but has always been a winner. Seriously the guy has never lead a losing football team (Jake locker anyone?). While immeasurable, it is a big fucking deal to be a winner and always be a winner. I suspect belichick understands this.
Religion isn't really a left or right issue, like most things it is a statist vs freedom issue. Statist have always seen a higher power that people worship as a threat to themselves. Mao... Stalin... blah blah blah. Religion puts power in something they can't control. The "left" currently acts like statist since they are the ones in control, it will swing back like it always does.
The media has always had it out for anyone who ever projects perfection, Christian or not. People want to see failure, they want to believe someone can't be as good of a person as the project. People want tebow to be caught in a gay midget sex scandal so badly because, on the surface, he seems so good. The story would be huge because its against everything he has painted himself to be. When Hernández killed someone, people just aren't as surprised that a gang banger looking Hispanic guy murdered a few people so the story is dead in a few days. -
Why ask? No permission needed. Write away.

First of all, I gotta thank GOD for givin me all a dis talent. Widout HIM, there'd be no me. Den, I gotta thank my Mom's for bein dere fo me. And den GOD again. Cause He GOD.MikeDamone said:Why ask? No permission needed. Write away.

I don't remember all your acts from back in the day, but you are terrible now. I don't think I have chuckled once at your posts, despite you trying to be funny every time. You're like the Rob Schneider of Hardcore Husky.DUCKSareOVERRATED said:
