I didn’t read this whole thread to see if this has been posted already, but even if it has, it’s so good that it deserves to be posted again:
Unfortunately for Tebow, JC has already told Tebow he’s on his own this week. See my link above.
(OK, so that was actually Jimmy Fallon putting words in Jesus’ mouth to the tune of “Space Oddity.” But it works for me. :))
Gratuitous Nickelback hate is always appreciated!
I would like to open my doors for converts from Christianity since proof was had tonight that there is no god. 
I was just having a couple beers with Jesus, and he was laughing his ass off watching this game.
He said something about hubris, and then staggered off.
After 2000 years, the boy still can’t hold his liquor.
Nickelback hate is never gratuitous.
ok new poll: how many people think Tom Brady IS jesus…?
(lots of funny posts all in a row, you guys).
marley, i dunno what to tell you bud. you misunderstand like, everything. you’re one of those “can’t see the forest for all the trees” kind of people.

if I were Jesus, i’d help Teebz out every game in a clearly miraculous fashion, get him to the superbowl, then hands off. it’d be like that trust fall thing. “i gotcha. just fall. see? i gotcha. fall again. see? gotcha. fall again! (crash).”

back when i was a hardcore christian, i found it fun to debate semantical aspects of religion with other christians. constantly, the convo devolved to the other person saying “well, God told me. i talk to Him.”
i’d hold up my finger for “wait just a second,” mutter to myself, then reply “jesus just said shut up.”
anyway, back to the original question–i’m starting to think i’m not going to find a good answer here.
womp wah.
I don’t know, let’s check the scriptures. Brady gained 509 total yards, andMark 5:09gives a forboding revelation about who Brady really is:
:eek:
Now you are frightening me.
You try holding stuff after nails were pounded through your wrists.
It’s really frustrating when He tries to swim.
+1 and a thumbs up for the well-played sarcasm!
So, I guess that “prayer” thing doesn’t really work, then? Poor Tebow! Now he has to figure out why God is punishing him! Perhaps a sacrificial lamb? Or…his first-born son? That seems to be a deity fave!
exactly what i was thinking. 'WHERE’S YOUR GOD NOW?!"
but seriously, i suspect everyone will say “God has a plan. and winning against the pats just wasn’t part of it.”
i think praying believer types are not totally illogical. i really wish some would come give their rationale here.
i’m really seeking to understand. i think most will say they don’t know why God didn’t want it–who are we to know the mind of God? but these same people will attribute any victory or improbable positive outcome to Him. they “understand His mind” when it’s a good thing, but ‘can’t know His mind’ when it goes poorly.
and another thing–if 43% think God helped Tebow win, do they think God helped Brady win?
because the implication seems to be that Brady is skilled enough to win without God–but Tebow needs deistic power-ups. it’s a massive insult to 'Bow’s skillz.
43% believe Tebow isn’t good enough to win on his own…
As was pointed out in another thread elsewhere, the kid did make it to the playoffs in his first season as a starting QB. That doesn’t happen often. But Brady and the Pats are odds-on favorites to go all the way. It isn’t surprising they won.
But, whatever entity (if there is one) that created the Universe just doesn’t care for American Football. Cricket? Maybe.
But not NFL.
How do I know?
heh heh heh
If I told you, I’d have to kill you.
Maybe that should be my new catchphrase!
But the little show-off never does ! It’s always woooh look at me, I can walk on water…
No, they’re not. They aren’t even odds-on favorites today. Current futures odds for the Pats to win the Super Bowl are 5 to 4.
He’s an admin. It’s his job. 
Swim? He doesn’t walk?
