It’s Sunday & All About God, $$$, Football and Not Firing Blanks!

As I have revealed here in the past, I am a football fan. I know, I know, it is something I am severely chastised for at times. And in a post I did some months back I expressed my complete lack of patience with the missionary players prancing around with bible verses on their eye make-up. Or pointing at the sky like God takes time out of his chore list of helping the poor, indigent and suffering – so that He can make sure that Kurt Warner, Donovan McNabb, Roethlisberger, Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy and the whole cultist membership of primdona quarterbacks can grandstand on a grass field.

Now here we have the joining of Focus on the Family Dominioinist Leader and notorious proponent of appalling child abuse techniques, James Dobson and his millionaire Khristian pals, paying between 2.5 and 2.8 million dollars, to air an ad during the Super Bowl starring none other than the most coddled of male stars, Tim Tebow. The god business sure pays well!

Tebow, who has risen to fame more because of his relentless advertising of faith through bible verses on his face than his athletic ability is not even in the running as a 1st or 2nd Draft pick for the NFL. His throwing methods are so slow he would never make a successful quarterback in the big boy games. He has enjoyed an inflated sense of success in the college league, but would be stripped of the ball more times than yet another Dominionist player, Matt Hasselbeck. (If there is a God…PLEASE don’t give us two of them!)

So here he comes, riding that pious Khristian wave into the Super Bowl spotlight, bought and paid for by Dobson & Co. to preach to us about abortion. Their approach is going to be to have Mrs. Tim describe her story of being ill during her 1987 pregnancy with fetus Tim, and telling us that her doctor in the Philippines recommended that she abort.

Problem? Abortion is, and has been illegal in the Philippines since 1930 and punishable by a 6 year prison term so someone is telling an untruth, or lie. Which ever way you prefer to term it, it remains one of the 7 deadly sins…Mrs. Tim.

(Ah…but truth is certainly one of those pesky pieces of the inerrant Bible that may be on the chopping block in the new and improved version of the Bible according to Dominionists slated to come out this year by Zondervan Publishing…what was I thinking.) These people are truly a study in narcissism.

Soooo….

• they will be touting the value of the unborn
• paid for by a proponent of religiously motivated child abuse
• on the heels of the Scott Roeder conviction for the assissiantion of Dr. Tiller for preforming medically-indicated abortions
• and all this during the biggest testosterone sports game of the year!

The majority of that television audience will be perfecting the head on their beer and not putting one iota of thought into unwanted pregnancy. That is SO not a guys concern.

If it were about the male side of responsibility in unwanted pregnancy, our discussion of abortion would be dramatically different.

Male Birth Control

Now, let’s say Timmy were to go on a Super Bowl ad saying that in order to stop abortions of unwanted pregnancies, he was endorsing a new law that would punish males for being repeat offenders of getting women pregnant through the irresponsible omition of male contraceptive use…then I am thinking that there would be a real audience!

If it became a felony to “irresponsibly impregnate” a woman?

I am thinking that abortions would drop significantly in America!

I am just sayin’…
