Most Honorable Tebow

Tebow mania... I don't get it... and I don't think many other people get it either, much less the ones who are actually maniacal about it all.  He's not that great of a quarterback, at least not yet; of course, that's not the reason people are wild about him anyways.

It's because he's a Christian.  And how he goes about being a Christian is iconic.  There are plenty of Christians in the NFL, but they aren't star quarterbacks, nor do they have a pose, so they don't stand out.

But I'll be honest, I don't think it's because he has Christian faith, or his position as quarterback.  I do think it's about his iconic way of going about his Christian faith.

nothing in full, but not half-empty

I don't have any complete thoughts for today, but two big ones mulling around in my brain are these:

I wonder what the whole issue surrounding Tim Tebow is about.  Is there a reason that evangelical Christians flock to him?  Is it because there is a dearth of competent and strong male or female Christian role models, i.e. fathers and mothers, in the lives of those who do flock?  Or is it something else?

I also wonder about the sexualization of relationships.  It seems a lot of magazines, websites and book shelves in book stores are bound and determined to help us get better at sex for the purposes of relationships.  Why?  Is it because we, as a culture, have centralized our relationships on the act of and acts around sex?

These are just some of my thoughts that I've yet to fully explore.
