Tim Tebow for President

The latest American Research Group poll released Friday shows Romney in the lead with 29 percent support among likely South Carolina Republican voters, over Gingrich’s 25 percent. Among evangelicals surveyed, Gingrich leads with 40 percent, followed by Perry (15 percent), Romney (13 percent), and Santorum (12 percent).

However, if Tim Tebow decided to run for President,

(now that he has time)

the Republican Poll would look like this:

Tim Tebow 94%

Mickey Mouse 3%

Stephen Colbert 2%

Romney, Gingrich Perry and Santorum 1%

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow takes his helmet off following an NFL divisional playoff football game against the New England Patriots Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012, in Foxborough, Mass.

The Patriots defeated the Broncos 45-10.

Why not Tebow? 

At least we can trust him, I think!

The American Political Silly Season Continues…

TEBOW TIME ~ Religion and Sports

RELIGION, SPORTS AND POLITICS  ~ the most popular topics in America! This is especially true during the silly season of American politics and NFL Playoffs.

Was God on Tim Tebow’s side

in the land of the Patriots Saturday

when his team took on New England in the NFC playoffs?

Apparently not!

Tebow needed more than a few

 Immaculate Receptions

if he was going to defeat the Patriots

The game between the Denver Brocos and the New England Patriots is likely to be the most-watched NFL playoff contest in history, as America’s choir boy Tim Tebow faced Tom Brady, the playboy powerhouse.

UPDATE:

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow takes his helmet off following an NFL divisional playoff football game against the New England Patriots Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012, in Foxborough, Mass.

The Patriots defeated the Broncos 45-10. 

Tim Tebow ~ favourite Bible passage is John 3:16,

threw for 316 yards,

31.6 yards per pass and

had an overtime with a TV rating of 31.6

“When we place our dependence in God, we are unencumbered, and we have no worry. . . .This confidence, this sureness of action, is both contagious and an aid to the perfect action. The rest is in the hands of God — and this is the same God, gentlemen, who has won all of His battles up to now.” VINCE LOMBARDI 1964

Commenting on athletes and religious displays a few year ago: “It’s just plain silly,” said Dan Barker, 55, a minister turned atheist, and a spokesman for the 5,300-member Freedom from Religion Foundation. “When you throw a football and you pray, do the laws of nature change? Does the elliptical curve of the ball through the air suddenly swerve, or what? Is God blessing you for winning and is God cursing the other team for losing? Just the arrogance of that; it’s one thing to be happy and thankful, but to put it on religion, it’s so uncivil, because everybody has different religions.”

If you are a deeply religious football player (or any athlete) and your team loses, do you say, “Thank you, lord, for letting us lose.”?

I believe Tebow may be an exceptional person, but I don’t believe God wants him to win more than he does any other athlete. But it’s an argument that can never be won.

Tim Tebow ~ one of the most fascinating Modern Day Americans!

Tim Tebow ~ the most popular athlete in America

Tim Tebow ~ lots of time to try to improve in the off season

Tim Tebow ~ should be a GOP / Republican Candidate!

Judgment Day ~ Curtis and Leroy

Dear Curtis,

I know that I will be one of the chosen ones and be let into heaven on Judgment Day (whenever that is). Could be December 21, 2012??

I’m sorry to hear you ain’t comin’ along.  You’re a good guy but you voted for George Bush – twice.

Since you are my best friend, I’m leaving all my valuable possessions to you.

Please take care of my dog, Sam and my pig, Sammy. I know Sam likes you and he didn’t mean to bite you when you looked after him last time.

You can have my still. I drank all the moonshine that we made last spring. I didn’t think they’d let me bring it with me.

I’ll also let you have my car. See if you can get it to work.

I’m keeping my rifle and I’ll try to sneak it in. You never know what to expect!

That’s about all I have. Oh ya! You can have my wife, too. She likes those GOP fellows, so I reckon she won’t be invited to heaven either.

Good luck (You’ll need it!),

Leroy,

One of The Saved, Praise the Lord!

PS

Just in case those Mayan Predictions are not true and that Camping fella is wrong (again ), can I please have Sam and Sammy back?

How to be popular on the Internet. Be a jerk!

It has been known for some time that internet users are overwhelmingly attracted to the negative.

Writing about, religion and politics

are two of the top subjects that will

generate the most interest and

unite or divide a crowd.

Let’s see if this works.

1. The Tea Party is made up of religious fanatics!

2. The American political system seems to be a farce. The way the leader of the GOP is chosen is an incredible waste of time and money. The silly season of parading a bunch of clowns around the nation is only good for late night comedy writers.

Famous Quotes about Religion and Politics

“My uncle often played the devil’s advocate just to get a rise out of somebody, but was extremely giving, passionate about everything — what he was reading, religion, what he was doing, politics.” Mary Weaver

The political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet.
- Mark Twain in Eruption

I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.
- Mark Twain in Eruption

Man is kind enough when he is not excited by religion.
- Mark Twain ~ A Horse’s Tale

“When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way.” Frank Herbert

The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. (Albert Einstein)

“I read about an Eskimo hunter who asked the local missionary priest: ‘If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?‘ ‘No‘, said the priest, ‘not if you did not know‘. ‘Then why‘, asked the Eskimo earnestly, ‘did you tell me?‘.”    — Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, 1974.

HUMAN EVOLUTION CHARTS, HUMOR, QUOTES, ONE LINERS

I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey. Mark Twain

“Today, the theory of evolution is an accepted fact for everyone but a fundamentalist minority, whose objections are based not on reasoning but on doctrinaire adherence to religious principles” James D. Watson

~ Arthur Koestler The evolution of the brain not only overshot the needs of prehistoric man, it is the only example of evolution providing a species with an organ which it does not know how to use

“While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats.” — Mark Twain

In order to evolve, you must stand still long enough for your Heart to have a Conversation with your Brain. Erin Dalli

All the ills from which America suffers can be traced to the teaching of evolution. William Jennings Bryan

Evolution is what it is. The upper classes have always died out; it’s one of the most charming things about them. Germaine Greer

“If we are going to teach creation science as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction.” Judith Hayes

But really, if you don’t believe in Evolution by now, you are probably a member of the Republican (GOP) Party in the States.

 Richard Dawkins, the Oxford University biologist and author,

on Darwin’s Theory,

 ”It has the power to explain much while assuming little.” 

 ”The ratio of the huge amount that it explains (everything about life: its complexity, diversity and illusion of crafted design) divided by the little that it needs to postulate (non-random survival of randomly varying genes through geological time) is gigantic,” wrote Dawkins. “Never in the field of human comprehension were so many facts explained by assuming so few.”

In other words, “Never have so many people who don’t believe in Evolution looked so dumb!”

 Rick Perry is not that smart. After all, he can’t figure out which is right Evolution or Creationism ~ When talking to the boy in New Hampshire, Perry continued, “In Texas, we teach both creationism and evolution in our public schools – because I figure you’re smart enough (I’m not) to figure out which one is right.”

 Being a GOP candidate is so easy a chimp could do it!

The following Human Evolution Charts are a little more scientific!

JUDGMENT DAY OCTOBER 21 ~ Not MAY 21, 2011

1. In Judeo-Christian and Muslim traditions, the day at the end of the world when God judges the moral worth of individual humans or the whole human race. Also called Day of Judgment.

   Judgment Day ~A day of reckoning or final judgment

   Regardless of belief, you will be judged by God on May 21, 2011 to determine if you will be saved by Jesus in the Rapture or left behind during the End Times until the End of The World on October 21 2011.

   The 89-year-old Harold Camping now says the real Day of Judgment will occur on Oct. 21. He claims that the Apocalypse on May 21, 2011 was an invisible judgment day and was a misunderstanding.

   “We’ve always said May 21 was the day, but we didn’t understand altogether the spiritual meaning.” The end of the world will be October 21, 2011. 

   Glad he cleared that up!

   I know where I’m going!!!

Judgement Day Jokes
A Bible study group was discussing the unforeseen possibility of their sudden death. The leader of the discussion said, ” We will all die some day, and none of us really know when, but if we did we would all do a better job of preparing ourselves for that inevitable event.” 

“Everybody shook their heads in agreement with this comment.”

Then the leader said to the group, “What would you do if you knew you
only had 4 weeks of life remaining before your death, and then the Great Judgment Day?”

A gentleman said, ” I would go out into my community and minister the Gospel to those that have not yet accepted the Lord into their lives.”

“Very good!” ,said the group leader, and all the group members agreed, that would be a very good thing to do.

One lady spoke up and said enthusiastically, “I would dedicate all of my remaining time to serving God, my family, my church, and my fellow man with a greater conviction.”

“That”s wonderful!” the group leader commented, and all the group members agreed, that would be a very good thing to do.

But one gentleman in the back finally spoke up loudly and said, “I would go to my mother-in-laws house for the 4 weeks.”

Everyone was puzzled by this answer, and the group leader ask, “Why your mother-in-law’s home?”

“Because that will make it the longest 4 weeks of my life!”

A doctor, a nurse, and a leading GOP candidate for the 2012 Presidential Election are in line together at the Pearly Gates, waiting to be judged.  St. Peter appears to speak with them and asks them what good they have done in their lives.

Doctor:  “I have devoted my life to the sick and needy and have had a part in caring for and healing thousands of people.”

St. Peter:  “That’s great. Go ahead in to heaven. And what about you?”

Nurse:  “I have supported the Doctor and his patients my entire life as an adult, etc…”

St. Peter:  “Wonderful.  Please proceed in with the Doctor. And what about you?”

GOP Candidate: “I have tried to educate people about the fact that there is no climate change. If elected President I will lower the taxes for the rich. And I don’t believe in evolution. Those that do will probably not be saved, right? Finally, I will reform the medical system so that the poor and middle class will pay more so that we can save more money.”

St. Peter:  “Oh, I see. Please go on in . . . but you can only stay 1 night! ( We like to save money ,too) You’ll probably want to be with your other GOP friends, right?”

Inspirational Story about Sometimes there isn’t “anymore”  

 One  day a woman’s husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in  the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain  of learning that sometimes there isn’t “anymore”. No more hugs,  no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone  calls just to chat, no more “just one  minute.”
    Sometimes,  what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away,  never to return before we can say good-bye, say “I love  you.”  So  while we have it, it’s best we love it, care for it, fix it when  it’s broken and heal it when it’s sick.
    This  is true for marriage…..And old cars… And children with bad  report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and  grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we  are worth it.

Some  things we keep — like a best friend who moved away or a  sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that  make us happy, no matter what.
Life  is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we  keep them close!

I  received this from someone who thought I was a ‘keeper’! Then I  sent it to the people I think of in the same way… Now it’s  your turn to send this to all those people who are “keepers” in  your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that  way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends  know you love them?

Let  every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think  they don’t love you back. And just in case I’m gone  tomorrow:

I  LOVE YA!!!   

Sarah Palin, Chris Christie and the End of the World ~ October 21

The GOP and Judgement Day October 21, 2011

Both, New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, and Sarah Palin (what is she now?) have been wrestling with whether to enter the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

Will they make a date, or will they, like Harold Camping’s failed end of the world predictions, miss their date with destiny in 2012?

Maybe Palin and Christie are waiting to see what happens on October 21.

If they decide not to run, it won’t be the end of the world.

If they decide to run and get elected, it would be the end of the world.

When is Easter 2012?

Easter Sunday is the Sunday immediately following the first full moon after the vernal (spring) equinox. It can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25.
