Poll: 43% believe God helps Tim Tebow win

Post by _DarkHelmet »

I guess Mormons aren't the only people with weird beliefs. It reminds me when I was a kid and BYU finished the season ranked #1 in 1984. It was common knowledge in my ward that God was responsible for that.

Fortunately, we keep the devil around to blame the losing seasons on.

Well. You know. With a 100 billion planets to manage He needs Tim Tebow to win a game.

Or the BYU Cougars.

Or the TCU Horned Frogs.

I forget who God loves to watch play sports these days....

The title of this thread could have been "43% of people are sofa king we todd did."

There are wars raging around the world, famine, bigotry, pain, etc...good to know that what God really gives a d*mn about is football.

What's worse, I think, is that that many people believe that God really gives a damn about football. That's more frightening to me.

Coming soon:

Patriots win 35-14. 43% think Tim Tebow sinned and thus God has forsaken him.


(by the way did anyone hear that rumor that Tebow broke up the marriage of female skier Lindsay Vonn?)
