To fear the perfidious viper is wise. To pretend there is nothing to fear is imprudent.

Catholics are afraid of Jews, just like the pope.
That's the only real thing to be assessed from this thread.
I'm not afraid of Jews at all. But that doesn't mean no Jew can ever have a point about anything. A rabbi happened to be on to something here, and some of us agree with him. I'm not Scorp. This doesn't mean I'm kneeling down before Israel. |

The Church is intolerant in principle because she believes;
she is tolerant in practice because she loves.

The rabbi attacked Christianity as a whole.
He didn't attack Tebow for being an Evangelical Christian specifically. Rather, he attacked him because Tebow isn't afraid of His faith in Christ and the rabbi fears "people of certainty," in other words, a revival of Christianity.

"THE LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 26:1)
"And we, too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that faith through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." — Clement, bishop of Rome
"I love truth," says he, "and not sects. I am sometimes a peripatetic, a stoic, or an academician, and often none of them; but—always a Christian. To philosophise is to love wisdom; and the true wisdom is Jesus Christ. Let us read the historians, the poets, and the philosophers; but let us have in our hearts the gospel of Jesus Christ, in which alone is perfect wisdom and perfect happiness." — Petrarch

I don't think that's the case. Most of Tebow's strongest critics are condemning the annoying overtness of his religiousity, not the fact that he's religious at all. There are a lot of religious athletes in America, many of them very popular. |

These other religious athletes must be very circumspect when it comes to public display of their religiosity. The rabbi fears "people of certainty," people like Tebow who attribute all that is good in their lives to Christ. Only a professional anti-Christian, like a rabbi, can object to that. |

On the topic of Sunday football.
I was always was taught that 'unnecesSary servile work' was illegal on Sunday.
Football for them is work, and their only job.
So I don't see the problem. Some times you have to do stuff on Sunday, and take ekonomia into account.
Remember how Christ slighted thr Pharisees:
"when ( the romans come) hope that they don't come ON THE SABBATH"
since they would let themselves die rather than run from the city then 'break' the sabbath.

To defend oneself, one must also be ready to die. There is little such readiness in a society raised in the cult of material well-being. Nothing is left, then, but concessions, attempts to gain time, and betrayal.
--- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
"Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it, and right is right even if nobody is doing it."
-St. Augustine Doctor of the Church
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

There is no limit to investigating the truth; until you discover it.

By jove, I think you're right. But, in all fairness, they do seem hell-bent on wanting to murder a great majority of them Mulisms. Kareen-Abdul-Jabber, aka Lew Alcinder, used to praise Allah after big victories. |
