Brian Kilmeade Scolds Tebow Mocking Football Player Who "Mocks God"

If the early Christians were as humorless as those members of the Fox News church of perpetual outrage, it's no wonder that they had some hard times. Today's martyrs are constantly whining about how they get no respect from the forces of satanic secularism. But if they want some insight into why they are lampooned, they need only to click their remotes to Fox News to see their fellow Jesus BFF, Brian Kilmeade, a high priest in the Fox Tim Tebow cult, make idiotic comments revealing his devotion to God and Tim Tebow (who, on Fox, is God). Kilmeade's latest pearl of wisdom involves statements from a football player who is obviously heading for a quick dunk in the Lake of Fire after blasphemous comments directed towards God and Tim Tebow who, on Fox, is a deity. And Brian is pissed - the same Brian Kilmeade who had to apologize for an anti-Islamic comment (only one of many). But he has God's and Tebow's back so it's all good.

Last Wednesday, in keeping with the Fox meme of Tebow martyrdom, Kilmeade claimed that not only did a Baltimore Ravens football player, Terrell Suggs, mock Tim Tebow; but he also mocked God. Obviously, Suggs comments are part of routine football trash talking; but Brian Kilmeade, and his guest, former football star and fellow Jesus BFF, Terry Bradshaw were having none of it. After making small talk about Tebow's athletic prowess, Kilmeade cut to the chase with the requiste Fox gospel of how good Christian Tebow is being persecuted by the evil forces of darkness, in this case coming from a member of the Baltimore Ravens.

After noting that Bradshaw "loves" Tebow for what he stands for and the courage he's shown, Kilmeade quoted Suggs: "With all due respect, we don't need God on our sidelines. Once again, God had to save Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. He couldn't even give them two drives? 7 to 3." Brian Kilmeade proceeded to demonstrate why he's the Thomas Aquinas of Fox & Friends: "So he's mocking him [Tebow] and mocking God." Bradshaw continued with the metaphysics: "Better be careful. You can take shots at Tim; but when you go messing with God, that's a different story." Good Christian Bradshaw then appeared to violate that commandment about not bearing false witness; but given that Fox, America's Christian network, does it all the time, I guess Jesus is down with it: "Suggs is obviously an idiot. He has no clue what he's talking about and I would be very careful. If I were him, I'd be on my hands and feet tonight asking for forgiveness because that's totally unacceptable."

What wasn't mentioned by Jesus' BFF's, in their attack on Suggs, was that Suggs also said “With all due respect, we don’t pray on sidelines. I mean we do — we give it up to God just to be safe…we gonna go out there and win that game." So Suggs wasn't entirely "mocking God." But seriously, the simplistic commentary about being punished for mocking God was what passed for theological discourse in my grammar school and that was a long time ago. (I was a "mocker" even then and for that I was denounced, by a truly psycho nun, as "personified brass.") But good Tim Tebow, this is the 21st century and while this kind of thing is still popular in certain arcane religious circles, how appropriate is it for national TV. One hopes these guys don't watch The Daily Show and Colbert where faith, of all sorts, is lampooned. And didn't Jesus say that when faith is tested, you say "whatever" and walk away. But flash forward a couple millennia and two Christian sports guys are suggesting that a football player, who "mocks" God (and Tim Tebow who has godlike status on Fox) is stupid and going to hell for expressing his sardonic opinion. Really?

I guess on Fox "News," it's"Yahweh or no way." (Oh, nooooo, Steven Colbert is going to hell......)

It would appear that the Creator wants me to write more silly verses otherwise the Broncos would have lost. To honor my god I will therefore write more verses as the days to the next game click by. Do bongs for Jesus, or whatever.

And was Kilmeade appointed by God to speak for him. If Brian read his Old Testemant more carefully, he would learn that God wants him to keep his mouth shut because Brain is not God. And does God care if someone badmouths him? Does he need a moron like Brian speaking for him. Kilmeade makes God look bad. If I were God or Jesus, I wouldn’t want to be associated with those utter hypocrites at Fox, the cable news network of the anti-Christ (anti-Jesus. I don’t use the derogatory “Christ” word, because just like Jesus told us himself, he is not the “KIng” of the Jews).

What’s sad is that there are people out there (here in Denver for sure) that really think God gave Timmy that win. They actually think that a supernatural act affected the game. Primitive religion at its finest and with its priorities in order.

@visitor 55. The guy who caught Saint Timmy’s pass doesn’t count in the Fux Nation. After all, he is black (and probably a Muslim to boot).

I’m from Indiana and our “God of the Holy Football” Peyton Manning is a devout Christian too. But he keeps his devotion private as god has told him is the proper way. Waiting for the day he gets healthy enough to play against Tewbow. Then we’ll see who’s side god is on.

Can I get a big “Aaaahh-men!” for Jeez’s comment?

The Count is right about Tebow’s cult this week. But next week they meet the mighty “Pat’s” in Foxborough and things might be different.

“Robert is correct, Priscilla. You wonât hear from crash again because itâs a coward that knows youâre right.”

“C Crush’s” Facebook ID is “not available.” Gotta love the drive-by trolls, though.

“Your post and your writing skills are both garbage”

Care to provide some examples and/or rebuttals?

I heard that Tebow now ‘sitteth at the right hand’ of he who ‘sitteth at the right hand’ of Gawd.

Some say that Jesus got tickets for today’s Giants-Falcons game. Saint Timmy of Teebow may be on his own against the big, bad secular Steelers.

The Devil came down to Georgia, Tebow came to Denver…

Tebow came down to Denver, he was lookin’ for games to steal,
He had a prayer, and he had a kneel, but he needed to earn a meal,
He came upon the Broncos, who were havin’ a real hard time,
Then he whipped out a pigskin, said, “Look here, men, God’s a real good friend of mine.”

Tebow’s in Denver, run fans, run,
Tebow’s gonna have some fumble fun,
Passes gettin picked off one two three,
God’s in Heaven yelling, “Don’t blame me!”

Tebow got off to a real hot start, won a bunch and just lost one,
Bishop Elway said, “He’s here to stay” and Denver had some fun,
But then a guy from Pittsburgh came along, and he had an accurate gun,
His name is Ben they play today, Ben will show him who’s number one.

God gave Tebow the opportunity. Tebow blew it. God keeps telling him that football is 4 quarters, not 1, but Tebow is too busy praising Him to listen to Him. God isn’t too fond of the deliberately stupid.
