For those defending Tim Tebow, I would like to remind you that his presence in the game has inspired this.

Focus on the Family unveiled a new commercial during the Denver Broncos-New England Patriots football game on Saturday night. 

The new commercial features children reciting Tim Tebow's favorite Bible verse, John 3:16. That's a number that gotten a lot of attention after announcers realized that Tebow had passed for 316 yards in last week's playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was one of the most-often cited Bible passages for Christians, and the message Tebow used to stencil into the eyeblack he wore when he played college ball at Florida. Tebow also set an NFL playoff record by averaging 31.6 yards during the Steelers game. 

Focus on the Family President Jim Daly said the commercial had one goal -- "to share with the game's national TV audience the meaning of the Scripture that has been the No. 1 Internet search term over the last week."

If I might point the obvious out to this Jim Daly guy, the difference between a Google search and an advertisement on broadcast television, is that the people Googling are CHOOSING to be exposed to this Bible verse, where as people watching the game are SUBJECTED to this Bible verse.

Somehow I don't think that forcing people to hear quotes from the Bible while they are drinking lite beer and pounding down hot wings is certainly NOT to inspire to many religious conversions, but it will inspire a great deal of hatred for Tebow.

After all that is the major complaint that people have against religion, is this constant need inject in to other people's lives. In our politics, in our schools, and now during our football games.

And this is only the start.  You will not believe what religious zealot, and anti-abortion crusader Randall Terry has in store for us during the Super Bowl.

Anti-abortion ads showing graphic images of aborted fetuses covered in blood and surrounded by religious icons will air during the Super Bowl in February, courtesy of Democratic Presidential candidate Randall Terry. Terry, who has spent a year in jail and been arrested 50 times for his anti-abortion efforts, is using a Federal Election Commission loophole that ensures ads for political candidates cannot be prohibited within 45 days of an election. Apparently, primaries count, so Terry will be running ads on local stations during Super Bowl XLVI February 5.

If you can stomach it, and I certainly could not, you can see these truly horrific, and insulting advertisements by clicking here.

I cannot imagine how this helps to spread the message that these people are trying to spread.  If all you do is make people uncomfortable, or even sick to their stomachs, I do not believe that anybody will receive your message. Unless of course that message is I am complete asshole who wants you to despise me and hunt me down to beat me unconscious for fucking up the Super bowl for you.

THAT message I believe they will receive loud and clear.
