JESUS IS COMING ... LOOK BUSY

Here are a few of images from last night’s Colorado Rapids game. Immediately after this Rapids midfielder scored a goal and ripped off his jersey to display Tim Tebow’s favorite bible verse,

I stopped cheering, whipped out my iPhone, and posted this on the Rapids Facebook page.

If you go to the Colorado Rapids facebook page, you can read all the less-than-insightful comments about my post. I even attempted to be tolerant of “pointing to god” and “making the sign of the cross” to celebrate, which was oddly misinterpreted by another commenter that I “liked” these things.

Earlier, I happened upon these chaps checking in with Allah—apparently, Mecca is southeast from Denver.

I’m quite sure that all the Jesus defenders on Facebook would be less enthusiastic if the player sported a Koran verse on his shirt in lieu of the official bible verse of the sports world. Imagine if the player knelt prostate towards Mecca on the middle of the field to celebrate the goal. Would that be so enthusiastically supported?

Meanwhile, my kids got to learn that Jesus helps you score goals and that Islam can hurt your knees.
