Tebow

There are two distinct issues concerning Tim Tebow.

First is his ability as a quarterback in the National Football League. He finds a way to win. I respect that.

Second is the idea that he begs some all-powerful supernatural being for help, and this being helps Tebow because he begs with great sincerity and belief. I do not respect that.

Are we living in the dark ages? Or is the widespread respect and admiration for a football player who begs for help from some all-powerful supernatural being (for whom there has never been a shred of evidence) an indication that we are heading for the dark ages?
