Dastardly Tweets from Tim Tebow

I am a big fan of Tim Tebow. He may or may not someday be a good quarterback, the jury is out on that, but he is certainly a good human being. While we might disagree with some of his Conservative Christian political views on an individual level I do not think anyone can really denigrate the genuineness, the sincerity, the absolute caring with which this man carries himself and treats others.

This is why I was so sad to see a tweet from him last night that I saw forwarded on Facebook. The tweet was a prediction on the election stating that he ( Tebow ) expected to see President Obama lead early in the voting but that when all the people got off work and voted that Mr. Romney would take the lead. The inference is obvious and divisive.

Fortunately I follow Tim Tebow on Twitter and in checking his twitter feed soon realized that this was a fake tweet. The saddest part of that of course was that a person of a right wing persuasion had re-tweeted this as fact, as an actual statement coming from Tebow.

If I am Conservative Christian I want as many people in the public forum as I can to proselytize my faith and win converts. Tim Tebow may be the best ambassador of Christianity in the secular world. Why would you want to sabotage his validity in this role by foisting a very divisive sentiment on his part. Clearly he is a smart young man and he would never say something so divisive.

You are not doing Gods work, you are not helping Gods plan, when you take one of God's most likable disciples and diminish him in the eyes of those he could hope to set an example of behavior and conversion for.
