So it is ironic that there is such an uproar when there is a little push back against his annoying public displays of religious faith. Bill Maher&#8217;s tweet was right on target: &#8220;Wow, Jesus just fucked Tim Tebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler &#8216;Hey, Buffalo\u2019s killing them.'&#8221; I mean, what is all that on-field praying all about anyway?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think anyone really cares about Tebow&#8217;s prayers. But they do care about how much positive attention he gets for it. Yeah, the guy is very religious. Do we care? No we don&#8217;t. Just shut up about it!
