no, this is "proof" religious people aren't smart.

wow

sad.

>>1124237
Well that is what I meant. Do they even realize that makes God out to be a huge dick when we have niggers in Africa starving to death.

welcome to America

Tebow inspires people, so naturally people associate him with other inspiring figures.

>Among the 70% of Americans who say they know of Tebow’s success, here’s how people by political affiliation responded to this question: “Do believe that any of Tim Tebow’s success can be attributed to Divine Intervention?”

>mfw republicans

Fuck you athiests, you have no idea hiw the world works. Africans starving isnt fun to wacth on a monday night and doesnt help commercial growth. Learn to econ retard, devil worshippers.

yeah, ONLY 43%? you got to be crazy to think an atheist Tebow wouldn't have lost every game.

did anyone save that pasta about tebow being a sign of the apocalypse?

>>1124313
That isn't what the poll said. And I think Tebow is a decent guy.

>>1124321
>Hispanic fans also feel that a holy power is helping the Broncos quarterback as 81 percent of those polled believe God is behind Tebow, compared to 59.5 percent among blacks and 38 percent among whites.

>mfw Leftards think that the only people who like Tebow are Bible-bashing rednecks
>mfw you'll instantly shut the fuck up once you realise the majority of people that think he's God's gift to football are darkies

The belief in god can form a strong physical connection in the brain that serves as a sort of ego and motivator. Motivation can easily lead to dedication and confidence, which in turn leads to a higher success rate. His belief in god could very well have helped him perform better.

tr;dr: That OP is painfully ironic

Truth is:

Any one who takes TT's wins as evidence for Jesus will have to take the wins of any non-devout QB as evidence against him. Or at least as a sign of some weird convoluted reward and punishment system.

>>1124414
Newsflash: delusions are comforting.

More at 11.

>>1124321
More proof republicans are holding us back.

It must be pretty easy to peddle faith to that audience. If he wins again he could probably convince his fans to walk around with buttplugs firmly inserted.

43% of religious people think god helps him.

NOT 43% of all Americans. Not even close to 43% of Americans even watch football ever.

So my fatass can do as well as Tebow if I played Qb tomorrow? I mean based off this him spending tons of hours on the practice field/gym contributes nothing to his game.

>>1124465
Nope. From the pollster's site:
>Our national scientific poll results disclosed yesterday found 43% of Americans aware of Tebow’s success said they attributed it at least partly to Divine Intervention – survey results later reported by hundreds of news outlets.

>>1124414
Yeah just like the majority of Americans don't accept evolution as a fact is also a sign of intelligent right?

>>1124465
Majority of Americans are religious sadly.

>>1124429
>i can't into science OR psychology
There's no correlation between Tebow's success, and other "non-devout" QBs.

And reward systems don't run on a zero-sum game. Just because you reward someone, doesn't mean others are punished as a result.

>>1124343
Atheists don't believe in god, so they don't believe in the devil. Obvious christroll is obvious.

>>1124485
Try reading.
>43% of Americans aware of Tebow’s success said they attributed it at least partly to Divine Intervention

>43% of Americans aware of Tebow’s success

That is saying that 43% of people aware of this faggot think god helps him. NOT that 43% of americans think god helps him.

>>1124547
Right, but it's 43% of the 70% who know. That means 30% of Americans know about Tebow and believe his success is the result of divine intervention. That's still a retardedly high number.

Hasn't anyone ever stopped to think that Tebow is just so fucking shitty and the people he plays against are used to facing, you know, good players, that they have no idea how to counter that special combination of marginal ability and blind confidence?

>>1124566
It also depends where they ask the questions.

>/pol/ 43% BELIEVE ROBIN MEADE GOT FINE TITTIES

>remaining 57% are a bunch of faggots

Good for Tebow for his athletic performance. But if he himself really believes that God's selective graces are to thank for his ability to lunge for balls, he has one hell of an ego. But that's just it, to christians that means he has one hell of a god. God is just an extension of your own ego, a figment of your mind to support itself with. It is much more redeeming for your ego to realize your individual self-worth and to take credit for your own accomplishments. That is satisfaction.

100% of Americans think it is cold as balls outside.

>A random sample of adult Americans is surveyed by interactive voice response (IVR) calls to landline and opt-in cell phones. At least 1,000 interviews are conducted each evening. Calls are made from 6:00pm to 9:00pm local time in each time zone. Quotas are set for each time zone to assure national representation. Data are weighted by age, race, and gender. Questions of a political nature are additionally weighted by political party affiliation.
Seems like a pretty decent polling method. This poll also has n=1,076, so there's at most a 3% margin of error.

This is why USA is a pathetic "country", with pathetic morals. Linked that artifical joke with christianism is a constant pain for a real and devout christian.

>he thinks you have to be white to be a redneck

race a social construct

>>1124434
They can also be functional and healthy. Emphasis on can

>>1124501
It's most certainly not as sign of intelligence.

Said YES:
81% of Hispanics
59% of blacks
38% of whites

52% - 18-29 year olds (...why?)

FOUND IT

no thanks to you fags.

>Tim Tebow is the Anti-Christ

>More accurately he is the Horseman of Conquest.

>I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
>- Revelations 6:1-2

>Tim Tebow is riding a White Horse (The Denver Broncos mascot is a white horse) to fame and holds a bow. (his famous quarterback throwing arm) He will be "crowned" in February after winning the Super Bowl. From here on the US will attack Iran over nuclear weapons, the Red Horseman (China) will retaliate with nukes of their own, full-blown nuclear war stars. Last man on earth dies on December 21, 2012.

>Tebow must be stopped.

>>1124702
Somehow I don't think stopping some mundane event would stop the world from ending.

>>1124701
I'd attribute it to celebrity culture. Not much more.

god cares about what is truly important in the world

How did they even get those numbers? An internet poll?

Anyway, I'm religious and I don't even know wtf is going on with the whole Tebow thing. Its not like there aren't a ton of football players. Maybe it just means that God is a source of inspiration and confidence for him, I mean that much is pretty obvious, right? It doesn't mean God is really rigging the football games so that way Tebow wins.

>>1124702

If ANY of that were to happen, I'd happily let it because of how retardedly awesome it sounds

OK well I am sticking by what I said. Regardless if you believe in God or not, its obvious that God (or the idea of God if you are an atheist) is a big source of inspiration and confidence for this football player guy. So yeah I guess I can see where people are coming from, it depends on how you interpret the question

ron paul is a religious guy
therefore your statement is invalid

>>1124861
No, the question they specifically asked was:
>Do believe that any of Tim Tebow’s success can be attributed to Divine Intervention?
Not
>Do you think Tim Tebow's belief in God inspires him to play well?

>>1124971

Oh well huh. That is something else then. Maybe people are just trolling the poll guys.

Or maybe God really is a Tebower fan.

>>1125072

Christians are uneducated and are starting to fade as scientific advancement continues. A strong, clean, successful Christian man is something they can latch on to and draw some inspiration from.

>>1124971

Well, seeing as how Divine Intervention isn't just a bubble that prevents group wipes, and to religious people, it can be pretty much anything from inspiration to Statues crying blood, I'd say that those two questions are pretty much interchangeable according to the pollers.

And Since God is supposed to be Omnipotent, I don't think being a Tebows fan is diverting any attention from Africa, which has tons of humanitarian aid pumped into it as well as "doctors without borders" or whatever they call themselves running around all over the place.
