43% of Americans believe God wants Tebow to win the Super bowl

I am always defending a persons right to believe whatever.
But I can't believe this sh*t.

Sample size aside, how do you go from this :

"43 percent said they believed divine intervention was at least partly responsible for his success.”

to this:

"43% of Americans believe God wants Tebow to win the Super bowl" ???????

Stir the pot much?
Seriously, if you don't like Tebow, don't watch him.
If you don't like religion, don't practice it.
Aside from that, how in the WORLD does this possibly affect you?

reply

Why is this guy such a lightning rod for many of you? How intolerant can you be? Bill Press is WAYYY over the top on this. Tebow doesn't demand attention. He expresses his faith. Big deal. Can we all proceed with lift now, or do you still have a bit of that stick left to pull out of your arse?

reply

Ugh, I'm just sick of hearing about this guy.

reply

Melb2 brings up a good point. 1,076 people is hardly indicative of what Americans believe.

I honestly believe that God couldn't care less who wins the Super Bowl. I also think it's rather silly that this Tebow guy feels the need to put on a show before every game (from what I understand of the situation). Part of me believes he's only doing this because of the attention he receives for doing it.

Still, that's what I believe. I can't really say because I'm not in his mind.

I guess they also must now believe God is impotent. Patriots and iron chariots, God's kryptonite.

"A company called Poll Position called 1,076 people and asked them about the Denver Broncos quarterback. Quoting from a press release, “Seventy percent of respondents said they knew of Tebow’s success and among those aware of the Tebow phenomenon, 43 percent said they believed divine intervention was at least partly responsible for his success.”

no. 43% of the 1,076 people SURVEYED. not ALL Americans. that's roghly in the neighborhood of about 400 some odd folks. and were they all Denver fans?
with an estimated population of 309 BILLION thats a far cry from any majority.
so, good luck too Tebow.

There are the Athletes who cheat, use drugs, commit crimes, partake in illegal dog fights, and some other choice not well liked activites, so what's wrong with a little prayer ? just let the poor guy alone...Go Gators !!!! I know I know he USED to be a gator :)

reply

Supports my idea that he's just doing it for attention. I bet you he retires and runs for office.

reply

I seriously hope you guys don't think that all of those 43% ACTUALLY believe that. There is definitely going to be a large number of people who just think the Tebow hype is hilarious.

reply

Patriots 45 - Broncos 10

Yes Timmy, there is a god.

He just doesn't like you.

reply

I would NOT be part of that 43 percent.

reply

Cool.

reply

And... 43% of Americans were wrong.. Maybe everyone will shut the hell up about him after the loss tonight.. After they get out all the jokes :D but seriously.. f*ck Tebow. Haha

reply

It appears God placed a bet on the Pats.

52% of Americans believe Elvis is still alive

kinda puts it in perspective.

reply

Hmmmm.....sounds nutty to me and scary all at the same time. I am thinking more like Tebow is "the canery in the coal mine".

reply

That's crazy. Of course God roots for The Saints. duh.

reply

I think god has better things to do....like stop the f*****g holocaust...oh wait...
