David Silverman is president of American Atheists — the same group behind the mocking atheist tag-along to the Travis AFB holiday displays<\/a>.\u00a0 He recently told CBS<\/a> that Denver Broncos’ quarterback Tim Tebow was “full of crap” for the public displays of his faith — most notably, Tebowing<\/a>, which Jason Torpy seemed to think violated\u00a0regulations<\/a> when performed by members of the military<\/a>.<\/p>\n

one atheist group believes he\u2019s doing it all for personal gain…<\/p>\n

Silverman believes that Tebow is \u201cfull of crap\u201d when he publically displays his Christianity on the football field and said his prayers are for publicity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not that Tebow prays, it\u2019s that he waits for the cameras to be on him to do it,\u201d Silverman says. \u201cHe\u2019s totally faking.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is likely Silverman has only ever seen Tebow on <\/em>camera, which makes it a mystery how he knows what Tebow does when the camera isn’t looking.\u00a0 Better yet, he fails to explain how Tebow manages to extend his “faking” throughout every aspect of his life.\u00a0 It’s apparently a perfect con.<\/p>\n

As atheists often do<\/a>, Silverman then puts on the cloak of a leader of the Christian faith and tells Tebow how he should live out his faith:<\/p>\n

Silverman says if Tebow is truly a Christian, he would pray in private, not public.
\n\u00a0
\n\u201cIt is not surprising Tebow ignores Matthew 6:5 in which Jesus says, \u2018When you pray, do not pray like the hypocrites in the street,\u2019\u201d Silverman says. \u201cThey pray to be seen praying. Pray in the closet.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, an atheist who doesn’t even believe in Jesus Christ is eminently more qualified to interpret\u00a0the Christian faith than the millions who are actually of <\/em>that faith — and who have generally\u00a0supported Tim Tebow’s public expressions of faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
