XD: You are making too much of the fact that Tebow may have been praying. If so, so what?
Please pay attention, I am NOT the one that drug Tebow's sideline theatrics into this, billt did.
We do not need anyone's permission to pray any time we want. I still ask, how does one know that he was praying and not just tired? It isn't a fair comment that God is doing favors for jocks while letting children be abused, starving and suffering from diseases.
Then he should treat it like his wanker, which he sure as hell can't pull out and wave around on the 50YD line. Doesn't your god tell you that your prayers are to be done in private?
God has given man the knowledge to combat diseases but greed keeps some medications from being available to us. Why haven't we done something about the companies responsible for that rather than blame God?
Actually god was used as the reason to squash medical research that has probably set research in some fields decades. And there is the reality that the big pharma and their huge research budgets are not and cannot be an altruistic endeavor, they will not be able fund the research.
There are organizations that do try to help indigents, abused and ill people and are constantly asking for financial help. Are we all supporting those organizations? The children? I ask, are we our brother's keepers? What are we doing to help those in need or are we sitting around waiting for someone else to do it? Unless WE are all helping in some way we have no right to blame God. He has given us the where with all to live and, to some, the ability to help others through the use of the extra blessings they have received.
While god is helping a sport team or an athlete, he's also helping vultures in Africa, and you defend that?

You really seem to be very bitter against God but we can't blame him for not doing something we have the ability to do for ourselves. I thank God for the gifts he has bestowed upon me and my family and for the ability to give back something to help others.
Actually that sounds a little selfish, cause it is about you, and you can give the 'extra', which also turns out to be a tax deduction. Writing a check is hard work.
I spent 31 years as a volunteer firefighter, putting my skin in the game, and actually got it scorched a couple of time, and have health problems today as result of the 30+ years of firefighting. Why did I do it, because I was part of an group that made a huge difference in the lives of many people, saving them, their children, even their pets. I stepped up with more than some extra money, every single time the fire pager went off.
Absolutely nothing against your or any god, but I have a real case of heartburn over the atrocities committed in the names of gods, but
MAN.
In the same light, I have nothing against Santa, Easter Bunny, Sandman, and other charters of lore and superstition, for the same reason, they don't exist.
