Lady Gaga Sees 'a Champion' in Evangelical Quarterback Tim Tebow

Lady Gaga called Tim Tebow a "champion" after last night's OT victory over the Steelers. Said Gaga on Twitter: "Giants fan but wow. #Tebow Thats what the f**k a champion looks like."

An athlete, perhaps. But a champion? Most "little monsters" would probably beg to differ...

Last year about this time, you may recall, Tebow was embroiled in controversy over his participation in a Super Bowl ad for the virulently anti-gay, anti-choice Evangelical group Focus on the Family.

The Denver Broncos flat-out rejected a petition in December to create an "It Gets Better" video.

Tebow has been muzzled by his publicist from answering any questions about same-sex marriage, though he is free to pray on the field and go on about his love for Jesus.

Lady Gaga will condemn the bullying that leads to LGBT suicides, but does she realize that Tim Tebow and his evangelical ilk at Focus on the Family are part of that problem?

For someone who supposedly is all about her "little monsters" it's difficult for me to believe she's not up on the whole Tebow bullshit.
Falls under the category of things that just doesn't surprise me.

I'm not for painting bible verses on my cheeks, but since Tebow does that, maybe he should consider this one: Matthew 5:5-8

to wit: "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners,[and at nationally televised football games] that they may be seen by men. But when you pray, go into your closet and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret . . . "

That's a good one, but I think this one applies just as aptly:
Woe unto those who think themselves righteous for righteousness sake and are not, for they shall never see the kingdom of heaven.
