Tebow "lays Hands" On Brian Dawkins Injured Neck

There is actually some mixed research regarding faith based healing. It works like a placebo. If people believe something will work there is evidence that is some cases they in fact do get better. The body actually is a fantastic healing machine which is somewhat influenced by expectations of how long it will take to heal. People who are supposed fast healers actually do heal faster at least in small part to the expectation that they will heal faster. Other studies have not shown much use for faith healing.

Bash The Golden Calf of Bristol all you want for poor quarterbacking skills. It's deserved.

Bash the people who talk about him like he's the greatest ever despite his lack of skills. That's also deserved.

But when you criticize him for beliefs that just happen to be different than yours, you come off like an ignorant, anti-religious bigot.

It's possible to express disagreement with someone's beliefs without being a jerk about it, but most here aren't very good at that.

people don't make fun of steve smith when he thanks god for his successful career because he doesn't go flying into a kneeling pose in beams of light and choruses of angels after every three yard completion while camera crews literally murder each other to get the best shot of it.

even the most venomously anti-religious posters have no problem with people having certain beliefs, but when you willingly allow it to be made a spectacle of you kind of bring the mockery on yourself.

Also lost is that he is a spokesperson for Focus on the Family which is one of the most disgusting organizations in the country just a small step below the KKK.

They're the people who said we deserved 9/11 because of the gayz.

I just passed by a newstand in NY/NJ and the Daily News have Tim on the front cover with his arm open wide like Jesus and the heading reads: "The Passion of The Golden Calf of Bristol." I went to see if the picture was online so I can link it but it isn't...

And folks wonder why people hate how he's allowing the media to make a mockery of the Christian.

I see why he know feels he can heal people. :D
