Tim Tebow’s prayer is offensive. That is to those who are not Christians and have no tolerance for Christianity in public. It is not offensive to Christians, however. Have you ever been to a restaurant and witnessed a family praying aloud over their meal? For some, this type of gratuitous prayer to God in public causes them to seethe and writhe in their seats.

Anthony Bradley, associate professor of theology and ethics as the Kings College in New York City, wrote a piece in World on Campus where he essentially challenged Tim Tebow to stop professing his faith publicly. “It seems Tebow might help himself and the kingdom by getting off his knees, taking the verses off of his face, and being faithful to Christ without the public acts like all the other Christians in the NFL have done for decades.”
