    So yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if he was allowing right-wing political groups to use his name to push-poll their agendas. What a lot of Christians don't realize though is how off-putting Tim Tebow is to non-Christians. His ostentatious displays of piety really turn non-believers off to the Christian message. If their goal it to try to reach out and "save more souls," flaunting Tim Tebow around is one hell of a terrible P.R. strategy.

    It's just one more part of the reason non-believers are the fastest growing religious minority for 20 years running.
    Ah yes, the rampant intolerence from the left. Nothing new spewing from LAGC.

    Not at all. Only groups that attack people because of things they can't control like their gender, race, sexual orientation, or disability are hate groups. Despite being loud and vocal, these groups are becoming weaker and less powerful each and every year as America grows more tolerant each and every generation.
    "That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

He was thinking it's being use to determine if a voter has an evangelical slant to their voting or not (Perry poll?).



    Yeah I guess that would be a good indicator of one's "beliefs" or lack there of.
