Patriots release Tim Tebow

[Seeking Serenity]

53. I agree with you

The hate shown to Tim Tebow, for seemingly nothing more than his being an "out" Christian, is downright shameful. He's not a political leader, he's just an athlete who doesn't hide his faith away in a closet, as if he should be somehow embarrassed about it. Maybe it's also because of that anti-abortion ad his mother did some years ago, but the hate started even before that. (And that ad, as I recall it, didn't even advocate for any changes in law regarding abortion or encourage viewers to support anti-abortion politicians, it just advocated for one choice, carrying a child to term, over the other, abortion.)

(And before anyone trots out Matthew 6:5-6, save yourself the embarrassment. Most people who cite that as a means to try to silence Christians from sharing their faith are either truly ignorant of that passage's meaning or are just willfully obtuse about it.)

It's just shameful. But progressives aren't perfect, any more than Tim Tebow is. I'll say a prayer this morning for both Tebow and for progressives collectively that they may all find peace.
