well happy easter to all of the christians out there. i am writing from the safety of my bed with a stomach full of half-digested animals that i devoured in honor of a man becoming a zombie. how sanctimonious.
i saw an article posted on AOL today (yes, some of us still have AOL email accounts) and it was featuring someone who has been a hot button topic lately, tim tebow. He had a chat with a pastor joe champion (real name? doubtful) in texas about standing up for your faith and being vocal about religion. His last name pronounced backwards sounds like elmer fudd saying "rabbit" so this ties
in this genius interview tebow puts down athletes who don't bark about faith (how christian of him). but it was this section of the article that irked me most.
Champion asked Tebow what he thought needed to change culturally in America."First and foremost is what this country was based on: one nation under God. The more that we can get back to that"is it what this country was based on? pretty sure it was based on disease spreading and slaughter but if that's "one nation under God" then you, sir, are some sort of practicing necromancer or are a member of a strange cult that i want nothing to do with. i'll stick to keeping this country just where it is because that enables me to be who i am and practice what i love. also, i don't think profesional football players were allowed to have press conferences in pink shirts about how much they love jesus in the olden days. burn that witch at the stake is what i say.
secondly, a cultural change is the last thing this country needs. and the idea that people are asking that question terrifies me. we have culturally become more and more accepting of various races, sexual orientation, and religions and to me that is something to be appreciated, not disregarded.
so tebow, go back to doing what you do best. and we all know what that is...wearing pink button downs and getting on your knees (ba-zing!)
take cover,
-ry
