How old are you?

Having a dialog with you is like being back in 3rd grade. What's the appropriate reply to this last name calling post? "I know you are but what am I". C'mon man, grow up.

dumb statement by someone who doesn't know. 😏

" I'll accept your opinion as just another

Well I know you would like to resort to exchanging insults rather than debating my opinion. However to try and get this thread back on track or kill it (either way makes no difference to me): My opinion is as follows:

I don't think there is the widespread hatred for Tebow in the first place and I don't think most of the criticism leveled against him is because of his faith. There has been some criticism of his expressing his faith publicly for sure but most of it is an expression of annoyance and not hatred. Do you disagree with this? Specifically why do you disagree? I did take the time to scan through the Tebowhaters website you posted but I really don't see a lot of hatred (John Oliver aside) there either so I'm not sure why it is called as such.

I don't understand why you guys think I am trying to insult you when I
tell you the truth of how I am thinking. Like I said you can state your
opinion even if it is wrong. I have already stated why I disagree with
your statement so there is no point in laboring to convince you.

You know what, you're right. It's best to just let the thread die in peace. Who needs the aggravation on a Friday anyhow.

soccer players do it all the time, coming on to the pitch they cross themselves, after
scoring a goal, they point to the heavens as a kind of celebration to acknowledge God
in their success, no one thinks anything of it, Kaka is a prime example.

What does cross themselves mean?

I am 66, as if that's any of your business.
Also for future reference "I'm rubber, you're glue" would trump my GIT comment.
Have a wonderful weekend sir.

making the sign of the cross, for example the Chelsea striker Drogba does it after
scoring a goal, or coming on to the pitch as a substitute.

Well at least I understand your situation better. You're a prickly, old bastard who's "world-rejecting" religion fails to meet your basic human needs. I have a suggestion: take some Viagra, have a few drinks, and lighten up.

You too and remember what I said above.

Unlike you, I know whom my father is, so I'll shrug off the B word comment as your projecting. Also the Viagra comment, some guys don't need to take a pill for that.
My condolences

What a miracle comeback! I am going for them to go all the way and upset the Giants in the Superbowl.

Usually this is Catholics who do this.

I have to say, CP, going from your posts, I'd have guessed you were a LOT younger than this.

You must be very young at heart.

(Please take no offense at this. By "younger" I was guessing maybe 40-ish. Maybe even younger.)

No offence taken, quite the contrary. 🙂

Are the Giants going to the Superbowl?

P.S. Most of the experts believe it will be the Baltimore Ravens vs. the
Green Bay Packers.
