And while you're reading about him, try reading a bit more of the thread, too. Do you really think God's so limited that He can only focus on one thing at a time, should He choose to even bother with it? He's supposed to be omnipotent, you know...(we've already covered this)

I think praying for football is retarded. I don't care if God is a fanatical Tebow fan. It's sportsball.FEOS wrote:

If both sides are praying for help from God, that seems rather counterproductive unless he really does favor one team over the other.FEOS wrote:

If nothing else, it's just an outward form of meditation. The Buddhists seem to keep it simpler by focusing themselves from within.
OK. That's fair. But people pray for help/assistance/thanks for the same in their daily lives regularly. Do you think that's stupid? It's his lifestyle, how he makes his living, his vocation. It's not "just a sport" to him. Success should have meaning, from a career perspective, and thus, as a thankful Christian, he is giving thanks to the one he feels helped to make that happen. Not because God cares whether Tebow wins or loses, but because Tebow feels God granted him certain gifts that allowed him to perform to a certain level in his career.Tripulaci0n wrote:

If you needed to do exceedingly well in a given thing for your job, have you never uttered, "thank God that went well" or something similar? You probably have and don't realize it, due to the common nature of sayings like that. Were you praying? Most would say no. Is it similar in context, if not intensity? Absolutely.

Philippine-born NFL star to set up hospital
Tim Tebow, one of America's hottest new sports heroes, will help pay for a children's hospital in the poverty-stricken Philippines where he was born, his charity partners said Friday.
The $3 million, 30-bed facility will open in the southern city of Davao in mid-2013, the US-based charity CURE said in a statement on its website where a video message from the Denver Broncos quarterback was also posted.
"I've always had a a special place in my heart for the country in which I was born and I'm very excited about this project," Tebow said in the message as he appealed for the public to join him in donating to the hospital's fund.
"This hospital will change the lives of thousands of children in the Philippines."
The Tebow CURE Hospital will specialise in bone disease and injuries for children, with about of a third of the young patients expected to be charity cases.
The hospital will house a "Timmys Playroom" to be used by children who undergo surgery.
The Tim Tebow Foundation, established in 2010, plans to build playrooms in children's hospitals around the world, and the Davao one will be the first.
CURE spokesman Matt Shandera told AFP on Friday that preparatory work was under way to build the hospital this year.
"We have people working on this project there," he said in a telephone interview from the United States.
Tebow, a devout Christian dubbed by some in the press as "God's quarterback", is known for late-game heroics leading to seemingly miraculous, come-from-behind victories for the Broncos in the National Football League.
Tebow was born in 1987 in Manila, the Philippine capital, where his Baptist parents were then serving as missionaries.
CURE, based in Philadelphia, is a faith-based charity that runs hospitals in health programmes in 20 countries for patients who are unable to afford medical care.

Watching that game was painful.
Switched to the NBA, and the Lakers got owned by the Clippers.

I couldn't watch the game unfortunately (Denver is my team). But I did sit on MSN.com and watch the play by play. Fucking Pats score just kept going up and up.
