There have been a couple of columns written denouncing Tim Tebow's open faith. One columnist put it this way:
Certainly, Tim Tebow must be applauded for the good he does working on his father's missions, but he should be seen, too, as one who promotes a form of belief that makes unwelcome judgments about everyone else's religion. Let's not forget the twinge that is felt by sports-loving Jewish kids and parents, for example, or by champions for interfaith cooperation, when adored sports figures like Tebow use their fame to push a Jesus-or-else message.
One counterpoint was phrased this way:
What is important to see is that [Tebow's critic] is advocating for a different worldview (a religion, if you want to call it that) that you can read more about in his piece. It’s the religion of "no one is right, so let’s stop talking and just get along".
The question is not, "Should Tim Tebow shut up?". But rather, on what basis should anyone speak about what they hold to be The Truth?
What do you think?
