Still amazes me that there are dipshits who hate him because he is open about his faith.

Just because it is utter fiction doesn't mean that its adherents and practitioners don't gain evolutionary advantages by practicing and believing and changing their lives in adherence to the "truths" of those fictions. Believing in God isn't smart because it increases your chances of an afterlife. It's smart because it improves your life on here on earth, and makes you a better person, even though you've only found the truth in a metaphor, not the truth in reality.
Remind me to just call you next time I need to know the “truth”. You’ll save me from making all sorts of mistakes. Although according to your post knowing the truth will actually make me a worse person with a lesser quality of life. I gotta get me some of that. Atheists really should work on their marketing.

That's the difference between atheist and religious people. Atheist don't care if you are an atheist or not. They don't get uncomfortable or self doubting when faced with people who don't believe what they believe.

Richard Dawkins, et al say differently.

No doubt all sorts of Christians struggle with doubt when confronted by non-believers but you’d be hard-pressed to convince me the same can’t be said for atheists. In theistic debates (for lack of knowing a better/right phrase) it isn’t like Christians have to take turns making the atheistic argument. In my experience you’ll find a whole lotta “the lady doth protest too much, methinks” on both sides of the aisle. As for Christian’s concern with atheists’ beliefs much of that is due to the fact that out of love we are called to be a witness to nonbelievers. We do have a tendency, however, to leave the love out of the equation entirely. Put in other words, we kind of suck at being Christ-like much of the time. At least I do.

I could do that and very easily prove your idea completely incorrect but why bother? You clearly would not be open minded to the information and thus would completely shut it out. We get it. You think transgendered people are icky and since you don't understand them, you fear them. Keep it mind though that it was not long ago that people thought that left handed people where evil.

I think you just answered your own question. If you aren't peddling what may be bullshite, you don't need a marketing department.
I think everyone can find their own truth. And it should be obvious to anyone that the fundamental structures of organized religions provide a fine framework for people to succeed in our society. That's a good thing. My beef was with someone up above with the "god is the ultimate determiner of morals", which is silly in all sorts of ways, even in a religious framework.

I assure you I don’t find them icky. A good friend grew up with GID. He decided against surgery and matured into identifying as a gay man. I happen to think GID is indeed a mental disorder and should be treated as such. I should add I have a mental disorder (insert joke here). Because of my friend and my own mental health challenges I really don’t approach either subject callously. Or at least I try not to be cavalier about such matters. Just like I don’t think we should encourage an anorexic not to eat, I don’t think we should encourage someone to mutilate himself over a delusion. Statistically speaking, left to grow up without gender transition, a large majority of children with GID will grow up to identify as gay adults. I’ll stop rambling because that’s what I claimed to be avoiding but I’ll certainly read anything you want to add. This discussion might be better suited on the Poli board though. Or somewhere else.
Edited to correct to GID.

That's the biggest load of BS I've read in a while.

I don’t think (if I’m correct about which poster you reference) he meant Christian belief should dictate morality to the world. He meant it is the authority on morality. That’s based on his belief. It doesn’t necessarily follow that It should dictate morality to society. I’m answering for someone else. How could this go wrong?

There are what seems like a thousand articles written calling him something in the neighborhood of “the most polarizing man in sports”. All those authors must’ve seen something similar.

That's just stupid. No one fears the transgendered. They are legitimately ill. Most people, correctly, are empathetic.

All Tebow does is treat people how they deserve to be treated in life. It’s sad that him just doing the right thing is seen as amazing. Unless there is some dark secret, he’s just a good guy.
Atheists, Christians, Muslims, and every other religion are supposed to treat people well. Human nature sometimes screws this up but guys like Tebow remind people it’s no harder to help and love people than it is to hate and scorn them.
He’s a really good kid.
